About this market
Market context
California Indirect Tax focuses on the sales and use tax levied on the retail sale of tangible personal property and some services within the state. Professionals in this area ensure compliance with California's complex sales and use tax laws, including district-specific rates and evolving rules for digital goods and services.
California has the highest statewide sales tax rate in the US at 7.25%, which can increase significantly due to local district taxes, often reaching 10% or more in various municipalities. Administered primarily by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA), businesses are required to register, collect, and remit sales tax. Use tax applies to purchases made outside the state for use within California where sales tax was not collected by the seller.
