Dog Sales Subject to Sales Tax
People are often taken aback when sales tax is added to the cost of our dogs. We try to remember to mention it upfront to avoid surprises. The California State Board of Equalization Pub 122 states in part, "Sales tax generally applies to sales of animals, birds, reptiles, and insects that do not meet the definition of “food animals”, whether they are used for working stock, breeding, pets, or other purposes." See the publication in its entirety at http://www.boe.ca.gov/pdf/pub122.pdf.
