  • oh, one more thing to do... thanks for the link.

  • Texas does it. So does Arizona. And I believe Illinois requires it as well. When a local city collects taxes as well as the county along with the state, they like to keep it all neat and tidy, so you have to let them know each locality in which you have a retail location. To further complicate things, some cities have "home rule", where they collect their sales tax separately from the county and/or the state, so you need to file with that city separately from your periodic state return. Arizona is notorious for this.

    For Texas, you have to call the DOR and have them add the locality to your account. If you do the sales tax online, it only take a minute or two. 

    The b***h of it is, every state is different, every state calculates net, gross and taxable differently, so reading is an important skill to cultivate.

  • It isn't new. It doesn't cost anything. I don't know if other States require a selling address or not, but the sales tax does vary according to the county, so that probably explains why. I would guess the sales tax is revenue for the counties, so the BOE probably just wants to know who gets what. Really, all you have to do is call the address in.
  • Oh my goodness.  I think I have heard of everything now.  What is the purpose of registering?  Why is California doing this?  If California is doing it, it will most likely spread to other areas of the country especially if it costs some money to register.  Give us some information, please.
