Hello Creekers,
I first want to thank the whole board for helping me out in so many ways over these past 6 months. I have bought a used laser, setup shop and have recently opened for business. I am starting to get a few calls, doing some samples and finally landed my first job.
Basically I am putting a logo on a little disk for a jewelry maker, she is sending me the disks for engraving. This is probably a dumb question I should know already but how do the engraving taxes work. I am trying to do some research, but I thought I would ask the community for some help too.
We are both in California, so do I need to charge CA sales tax or is that exempt because she is not the end user and will charge tax on her finished product? Basically, when do I charge Sales Tax? When do you charge sales tax on engraving services?
I got a resale certificate myself, when I started my company. Do resale certificates play a roll in who charges the tax?
