<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bigjpst, post: 1425003, member: 21015&quot;]Here is the text from the sellers permit rights and responsibilities manual May 2010. boe.ca.gov/pdf/pub73.pdf</p><p><br /></p><p>Who is responsible for paying sales tax to the BOE?</p><p><br /></p><p>As a seller, you are responsible for paying the correct amount of sales tax to us. If you do not pay the correct amount, the additional tax plus applicable penalty and interest will be charged.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can I collect sales tax from my customer?</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes. Although <u>you</u> are required to pay and report sales tax to us, you <u>may</u> be reimbursed by your customer for the amount of tax you owe on a sale. For example, if you are required to pay $1.75 in sales tax on a sale, you <u>may</u> pass that cost on to your customer, provided it is agreed to as part of the sale. It is presumed that the customer agrees to pay the addition of an amount for tax if:</p><p>•</p><p>You list a separate amount for sales tax reimbursement on your receipts or invoices;</p><p>•</p><p>You post a sign on your premises stating that sales tax reimbursement will be added to all prices of taxable merchandise, or make a similar statement on price tags, advertising material, and other printed material directed to</p><p>the purchaser; or</p><p>• The sales agreement specifically calls for the addition of sales tax reimbursement.</p><p>If you include sales tax reimbursement in your prices, rather than itemizing it separately on your invoices or receipts, you must inform the buyer that tax is included. You can post this information at your premises in a location that is visible to purchasers, or you can include it on a price tag or in an advertisement, whichever is applicable. Use one of the following statements:</p><p>•</p><p>“All prices of taxable items include sales tax reimbursement computed to the nearest mill.”</p><p>•</p><p>“The price of this item includes sales tax reimbursement computed to the nearest mill.”</p><p><br /></p><p>The Underlined are where I read that It is only required that I pay the tax and passing it to the customer is not required. I guess if I&#039;m wrong, I&#039;ll find out my first audit.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
