Are we supposed to be paying tax on DROS?

Not sure but I did on my last purchase. -
http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/dlrfaqs.php#40GMay I charge sales tax on the DROS fees?
No. On January 1, 1999, the state Board of Equalization ruled that the DROS fees are not subject to retail sales tax. Firearms dealers licensed pursuant to Penal Code section 12071 shall not charge sales tax on the DROS fees. Questions regarding firearms transfer fees can be directed to the DOJ through this website or by calling (916) 263-4887. Questions regarding sales tax can be made to the California Board of Equalization at its website www.boe.ca.gov.ARCHIVED Calguns Foundation Wiki here: http://web.archive.org/web/201908310...itle=Main_Page
Frozen in 2015, it is falling out of date and I can no longer edit the content. But much of it is still good!Comment

Wow CA actually says something isn't subject to sales tax? I would have almost guessed that if they could have they would have made sales tax subject to sales tax.

No taxes on fees. That is pretty good.
Imagine if they taxed taxes. It could go on indefinately.

Considering the DROS fee will essentially become a tax on January 1st, they better not be taxing the tax.Comment

What's the recourse?Comment

Not only did I pay tax on DROS, I paid DROS for both, when I bought a handgun and a rifle at the same time, same place. This was 6 years ago when I didn't know better. Just checked my receipt the other day.Comment

Yea a shop tried pulling that on me a while back I said I don't need the rifle that much and bought the same rifle down the street.Comment

No tax for DROS nor HSC.\Comment

How magnanimous of the State to not charge tax on a State mandated fee...
