question about the online tax...

[romeo26]

I know now that you have to pay tax on firearms you buy online. But what if the place you buy it from is in California? Does that mean I have to pay double tax?

btw I was looking at some of Yzernie's offerings!

The FFL you're picking it up at shouldn't, since you'd be paying it at the place you're buying from at the time of purchase. If you're talking about a gun bought from a dealer that is.

One pays EITHER California SALES Tax at the time of purchase OR California USE tax on out-of-state purchases; the Board of Equalization, the tax collector, is compelling FFLs to be their use tax collection agents.

Tax on the purchase only needs to be collected once

Thanks you guys. Sorry for putting this in the wrong place!
