IN MAIN (Center) BLDG. Out-of-state tax For some time I have been curious about the regulations regarding the collection of California sales tax by out-of-state firms. On some items that I purchase by mail, the 6 per cent tax is not required, but it is on others. There doesnt appear to be any consistent pat- tern as some firms in a given state don't charge tax while others in the same state do. I've also noticed that when I purchase items in California and have them mailed out of state, no sales tax is charged.

Will Action Line enlighten me? Mrs. N.C., Long Beach. OnUf-state firms that have sales offices here or salesmen who operate in this state are required to celled California taxes on all goods purchased by residents here. Out-of-state maU-order firms that send merchandise hits the state but have no representatives here are not required to celled California taxes chiefly because there's ne way to enforce suck a regulation but they may eled to do so. The I per cent assessment actually is a use tax, net a sales tax.

Use tax is levied on those goods purchased out of state fw use in California. If. yon bay merchandise at a shop here and have the store mail it directly to an out-of-state resident, youre not required to pay California sales tax. But if you take possession of the merchandise and then mail it to another state, yon will be charged sales tax. Child care My sister wants to return to college to complete her.
