Sales Tax On Drive Thru Coffee In CA

[jatkinson]

My wife and I are in the final stages of opening our drive thru in northern CA. We're meeting with a business accountant soon but I was wondering if anyone currently operating in CA can tell me if any of the drinks and snacks are taxed.

Thanks,

James

It depends on your business, your location and products that you will serve. Read the BOE pamphlet on this matter, here:

Next, discuss with your accountant whether or not your business qualifies under the 80/80 rule. If you have any questions, call the numbers listed within.

Best of success,
