California Seller's Permit

The California State Board of Equalization has mandated that you must obtain a seller's permit if you:

  • Are engaged in business in California.
  • Intend to sell or lease tangible personal property that would ordinarily be subject to sales tax if sold at retail.
  • Will make sales for a temporary period, normally lasting no longer than 30 days at one or more locations (e.g. fireworks booth, Christmas tree lots, garage sale).

Both wholesalers and retailers must apply for a seller's permit. The requirement to obtain a seller's permit applies to:

  • Individuals.
  • Partnerships.
  • Corporations.
  • Organizations.
  • Husband/Wife Co-ownership.
  • LLP's.

Submitting a California Seller’s Permit is a mandatory requirement prior to doing business with any state agency.
