One quick thing that I just found out that I didnt hear you mentioned was that while trying to get my CA sellers permit, You first need to register with the CA secretary of state, if you are registering under an LLC. you will need to do that first, so you can get the ID number.

@LedgerGurus 5 месяцев назад

Thank you.

@purebred714 2 года назад

If you sell something (Ex: parts, equipment) to a customer who is out of state, and ship to their out of state address, do you charge them sales tax?

@LedgerGurus 2 года назад

You should charge them tax (rate is based on their location) if you have nexus (physical or economic) in that state.

Hi, first of u make great videos.I have a few questions, so I live in CA, I’ve been selling on Amazon for a few months just retail arbitrage shopping store to store for supplies , I don’t have vendor specific. Question 1: is register for nexus and getting resell certificates is the same thing ? Question 2: what do i put for vendor info when register? Question 3: do I need to register in CA as well as other states my fba inventory store in ? Thank u in advance.

@LedgerGurus 2 года назад

Thank you so much! To answer your questions: 1. after you register for a sales and use tax permit in CA, you will also be issued a resale certificate which you can provide to your vendors to make tax free purchases. 2. Whoever you purchase supplies from. 3. CA is very aggressive on FBA sellers, so I would register in CA. As for other states, you need to do a cost benefit analysis.

Hi Ledger Gurus! I am located in CA and registered my seller's permit in CA. I have been paying all the sales tax when I purchase from my vendors. I sell my products on platforms (mercari, ebay, etc), and on my website (only been to out of state customers and did not collect sales tax from them). What should I report to CFDTA for my sales?

@LedgerGurus Год назад

You would report sales to customers in CA, so products shipped to CA customers.

Hi! I’m from california and an amazon fba seller and started last yr. I have ny seller permit and resale certificate which I only got this month. I also have a tax exempt in walmart. I want to know if I should remit sales tax? But amazon is the one who collects it. What should I do? Thanks

Hello Kexin I've watched quite a few LedgerGurus videos and also the webinar you guys have. I two quick questions that I hope won't be too much trouble to answer. I live in California and got the sellers permit here so I'm good to go on charging taxes. My next step is to open a Shopify store, but I doubt I'll sell more than $20k in total for the whole year and the probably won't even pass 50 sales in any state so I only have a Nexus here in California where I live. Am I correct when I say I only need a sellers permit for California, but can sell to anyone in the country? Furthermore, does that mean any buyer from out of state will "save money" and not have to pay sales tax? Like if someone from Florida buys something from me that is $5 before tax, will they only pay $5 in the end and avoid having to pay sales tax altogether? Also, I wouldn't be required to collect sales tax for California from that sale? Thanks in advance and thank your team for me for all the helpful info. I made sure to subscribe and thumbs up any video I clicked on. If I had money I would pay for your services, but I'm poor

@kxioka Год назад

Hii did you ever figure this out?

@luigiangelobuonarroti4110 Год назад

@@kxioka hey so I never ended up opening a shopify store, but now you got me thinking about the question I never got an answer to. I asked around in other places too and no one ever answered my question. I ended up just selling on etsy and similar sites just to avoid the headache. If you don't mind keep me updated and if I find out something I'll let you know too

Hi Ledger Gurus! I plan to sell a course on-line. Am I tax exempt? Do I need to file? Do you offer any consults? Appreciate your advise!

Hello, can I return sales taxes quarterly not monthly? Or i must return sales tax only monthly? All states have same law if i can return sales taxes quarterly? can i for example just start collect sales taxes wotb shopify without any registration any revenue websites? Just easily start collect sales taxes then after 4 months return sales taxes or only monthly?

@LedgerGurus 2 года назад

The filing frequency depends on your estimated sales tax liability and sales revenue and it's different in every state.

I am confused. If you live in ca and sell on platforms like eBay and Etsy (who collect and pay the sales taxes) does the individual need to do any of this? Thank you!

@LedgerGurus 2 года назад

You will need to register with CDTFA and file zero dollar returns since you are located in CA. You don’t owe them any money but they want you to report your sales and take the same amount as a deduction.
