California Department of Tax and Fee Administration: Special Notice

Hello nonprofit friends! I just came across some great info for California nonprofits and wanted to share. If you have a California nonprofit and sell products and/or services, this applies to you. Although your nonprofit is exempt from paying income tax, it is not exempt from paying sales tax. This article dives into the details of California sales taxes. Enjoy! 

The CDTFA administers many of the state’s tax and fee laws. 

We will use the information to determine whether you are paying the correct amount of taxes and fees, or to collect any amounts you owe. You must provide all information requested, including your social security number (used for identification purposes.

A complete list of the California Revenue and Taxation Codes authorizing the CDTFA to maintain your information for the administration of its programs is printed below.

What happens if I don’t provide the information?

Your application for a permit, certificate, license, relief request, payment plan, or other programs may not be processed if your information is incomplete. If you are not able to file your required returns, you may have to pay penalties and interest. You may owe more taxes or fees, or receive a smaller refund, if you do not provide the requested information to support your exemptions, credits, exclusions, or adjustments.

If you provide fraudulent information, civil penalties may apply and you may be subject to criminal prosecution.

Can anyone else see my information?

Yes. While your records are covered by state laws that protect your privacy, the CDTFA may share information regarding your account with specific local, state, and federal government agencies, or companies contracted and authorized to represent the government agencies.
