To whom do you report and pay sales tax?

• A. California Department of Tax and Fee Administration
• B. Internal Revenue Service
• C. California Department of Revenue
• D. Board of Equalization

Answer: (A)

In California, sales tax is handled by the state agency that administers sales and use taxes for businesses. You report and remit the tax to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration. This agency is responsible for registering your business, collecting sales tax from customers on taxable tangible property (like landscaping materials), and sending the collected tax to the state. The Internal Revenue Service handles federal taxes, not state sales tax. There isn’t a California Department of Revenue today. The Board of Equalization used to oversee sales tax, but the duties were moved to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, so that is the correct agency to deal with for sales tax.
