so, anyone familiar with paying sales tax in california?
Not clear on exactly what you're asking. EDD is CA payroll tax - if you're not sure how to submit payroll taxes, I strongly suggest you have a payroll company take that over. As far as CA sales tax - if the business is collecting sales tax from customers, the business will need to set up an account on the CDTFA site & a Sales / Use Tax report will need to be filed there online. Most businesses are required to file a Sales Tax report on a quarterly schedule although smaller business may only have to report once a year. Payments are generally due when the report is filed although businesses with larger tax liability amounts can request to be set up on a prepayment schedule. CDTFA offers webinars & classes - you should consider taking a course to make sure you are doing the process correctly since errors can be very costly. More on reddit.com

Ebay sales in California, the CDTFA, sales tax return, etc.
It seems the issue may lie with people who had the tax permit prior to the ruling in 2019...so the just stopped submitting the form?? I’ve been in medical sales for years and I had to submit that form every quarter even though we didn’t need to pay sales tax on medical equipment. We would make $50,000 a month and my sales tax bill would be $20. But if I didn’t fill out that form then The numbers with just keep going up. There must be some need to either turn off the sales permit...And Thus the need to fill out the form or did they suggest something? More on reddit.com

Sales Tax - California

While there is a warranty included in the Samsung VIP advantage, that program is much more than just an optional warranty. This is a membership fee that renews annually and is related to anticipated retail sales, which makes the membership fee taxable. At least, that's the way that I can see them viewing the issue. Now, the fact that you are able to get early access to items (retail sales), exclusive discounts (retail sales) and various other items makes me believe that they are justified in taxing this item even though you're plan is to purchase it for the warranty package alone.

This is different from something like Asurion that would warranty your watch as an optional warranty package.
