Sales tax on a PPT?

[morrcarr67]

I did a PPT today and the dealer charged sales tax.

Not on the purchase price of the gun I bought but on the $10 that is their profit.

It wasn't a lot but I've never been charged tax for this dealer provided "service". And, from what I know about taxes; "services" and labor isn't taxable.

Has something changed?

There shouldn’t be any tax on that $10. Businesses like that is a red flag for me. One and done.

Definitely not

There is only sales tax on the transfer fee if there is sales tax on the firearm.

A CA PPT can be subject to sales tax if the FFL gets involved in finding the buyer and/or seller or gets involved in the purchase price.

None of that happened in this transaction.

If they are being deceptive on this 10$ fee, wonder what else they are up to.

You can't say that they are being deceptive as it could be that they are just ignorant of all the laws.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Coming to a BOE (or whatever it is now) audit near you.

If they think they can demand sales tax on an interstate transfer, or the 2x4;s used by a contractor, they certainly deserve 8 cents on top of a PPT. What;s next, gunsmithing labor?
