Form BOE-400-SPA PDF Details

Understanding the complexities and requirements of lawful business operations in California demands familiarity with specific legal documents, such as the BOE-400-SPA. Tailored for individuals, partnerships, corporations, and organizations planning to engage in the sale or lease of merchandise, vehicles, or other tangible personal property within the state, this form serves as a critical initial step. By applying for either a regular or temporary seller’s permit through the State Board of Equalization, entities assert their commitment to adhering to state regulations, thereby enabling them to operate at wholesale or retail levels legally. Notably, the possession of a seller’s permit is a prerequisite for the lawful sale of taxable items in California, emphasizing the permit's role in the broader regulatory ecosystem that governs commerce within the state. The uniqueness of each business scenario—be it a single location needing a permanent permit or multiple temporary setups—requires distinct consideration, further underlined by the stipulation that separate permits may be needed for different selling locations. Moreover, the application process highlights the importance of accurate business information, as well as the need for disclosures regarding the public accessibility of certain business details. Additionally, the form inquires about specific product categories, such as tires, electronic devices, and tobacco products, which carry particular regulatory requirements and fees owing to environmental and health considerations. The form also outlines the importance of understanding one's rights and responsibilities upon obtaining a seller’s permit, including tax obligations, record-keeping duties, and notification requirements for significant business changes. Altogether, the completion and submission of the BOE-400-SPA form signify a crucial step for businesses to ensure compliance with California's tax laws and regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who must have a permit?

You are generally required to obtain a California seller’s permit if you sell or lease merchandise, vehicles, or other tangible personal property in California. A seller’s permit allows you to sell items at the wholesale or retail level. If your sales are ongoing, you should apply for a “Regular” permit. If your sales are of a temporary nature (90 days or less), apply for a “Temporary” permit. You cannot legally sell taxable items in California until you have been issued a seller’s permit.

Do I need more than one permit?

Each location where sales of taxable items are made requires, and must display, a seller’s permit. If you have more than one selling location, attach a list that includes the address for each location, and we will issue the permits needed. If your application is for a temporary permit, one permit will be enough, but you need to display a copy of that permit at each tempo- rary location.

Is there a charge for a permit?

No. However, we may require a security deposit. Deposits are used to cover any unpaid taxes that may be owed at the time a business closes.

Is information about my account subject to public disclosure?

State laws that protect your privacy generally cover your records. Some records are subject to public disclosure, such as the information on your seller’s permit, names of owners or partners, your business address, and your permit status. See the disclosure information on the back page.

Why do you need a copy of my driver license?

When it is required, it is used to ensure the accuracy of the information provided and to protect against fraudulent use of your identification.

Why am I being asked if I sell tires, covered electronic devices, or tobacco products at retail?

Effective January 1, 2001, California retailers of new tires began collecting a tire fee (currently $1.75)

for each new tire sold to consumers. Beginning January 1, 2005, retailers must collect a recycling fee on the retail sale or lease of certain new or refurbished video display devices that have a screen size of more than four inches measured diagonally. Video display devices subject to the fee are called “covered elec-

tronic devices” (CEDs). They include televisions, computer monitors, or any other product that contains a cathode ray tube, including “bare” cathode ray tubes, computer monitors, and laptop computers that use a liquid crystal display. For more information on the Electronic Recycling Fee Program or CEDs, visit: www.boe.ca.gov/sptaxprog/ewaste.htm. Effective June 30, 2004, if you sell cigarettes and/or tobacco products, you must obtain a license (separate from a seller’s permit) for each location you intend to sell these products. Depending on your response to each ques- tion and the type of business, the Board will send you information about these license and fee programs.

What are my rights and responsibilities as a seller?

When you obtain a seller’s permit, you acquire certain rights and responsibilities.

You may buy property for resale without paying tax to your supplier. By providing the vendor a completed resale certificate, you are not required to pay sales tax on property you are buying for resale. You cannot use a resale certificate to buy property for your own use (even if you plan to sell it after its use).

You must keep records to substantiate your sales, purchases, and return deductions and keep them for four years.

You must file returns according to the Board’s instructions for the filing basis that we determine from your application. You must file a return even if you have no tax to report.

You must pay the sales tax due on your retail sales in California. You may be reimbursed by collecting the amount of tax from your customers.

You must notify the Board of any business changes. A permit is issued only to the owner and address listed on the permit. If you change owner- ship, address, add another location, sell or close your business, add or drop a partner, you must notify the Board by calling or in writing. Your notification will help us close your account and return any security on deposit. If you do not, you could be held liable for continuing business taxes. Note: Notify us immediately if you drop or add a partner in order to protect former partners from tax liabilities incurred by the business after the partner- ship changes.

How Do I Apply for

My Seller’s Permit?

Step 1: Complete Your Application

Complete the application on page 5. If your business is an ongoing opera- tion, check permit type “Regular.” If your business will operate at the location(s) for 90 days or less, check “Temporary.” Please provide all the information requested on the application. If you do not, this will delay the issuance of your permit. Refer to the “Tips” on page 4. If you need assis- tance, please call your local Board office or the Information Center at 800-400-7115.

Note: If your business is located outside California, you also need to complete form BOE-403-B, Registration Information for Out-of-State Account. Visit our website at www.boe.ca.gov, call the Out-of-State Office at 916-227-6600, or the Information Center at 800-400-7115, to request a copy by mail or by fax (select the automated fax-back option).

For information regarding whether or not your out-of-state corporation qualifies to transact business in the State of California, you may visit the Secretary of State’s website at www.ss.ca.gov. For information regarding the minimum franchise tax for corporations, please visit the California Taxes Information Center’s website at www.taxes.ca.gov.

Step 2: Send Your Application for Processing

Send or take your application to the district office nearest your place of business. If you plan to apply in person, contact the local office to find out when they are open. Note: A permit is required before you begin making sales. Advise the Board if you have an urgent need for a permit.

Step 3: After Your Application Is Approved

If your application is complete, you should receive your permit in about two weeks. Based on the information in your application, the Board will provide you with regulations, forms, and other publications that may help you with your business. Or, you may choose to view and download information from our website at www.boe.ca.gov. You will also be informed as to when to file tax returns: monthly, quarterly, fiscal or calendar yearly. You will also start receiving tax returns for reporting and paying the taxes due on your sales and purchases. If you do not receive a return, download one from our website, or call the district office nearest you. You may also be eligible to e-file your return, visit our website for details.

Post your permit at your place of business in a location easily seen by your customers.

Tips for Filling Out Your Application

Item 1: Permit Type

Check whether you are applying for a regular or temporary permit. You may apply for a temporary permit if you intend to make sales for a period of 90 days or less. Otherwise, you must apply for a regular permit.

Items 2–8: Business Identification Information

Check your type of ownership and provide all of the information requested. Partnerships should provide a copy of their written partnership agreement, if one exists. If it is filed with us at the time you apply for a permit and it specifies that all business assets are held in the name of the partnership, we will attempt to collect any delinquent tax liability from the partnership’s assets before we attempt to collect from the partners’ personal assets. The “Registered Domestic Partnership” ownership box should only be checked if both persons are registered as domestic partners with the Office of the Secretary of State.

Items 9–35: Ownership Information

Indicate whether those listed are owners, partners, etc., and enter their driver license or California Identification Card number and, except in the case of corporate officers, their social security number. Also, provide a reference for each person, who does not live with that person. This information will be kept in strict confi- dence. If mailing your application, you must provide

a photocopy of your driver license or California Identification Card.

Items 36–49, 66: Type of Business, Selling Locations, and Landlord Information

Check whether the business is a retailer, wholesaler, etc., and whether the business is full time or part time. Describe the types of items you will sell. Avoid using broad descriptions, such as “general merchandise.” Instead, list specific examples such as sports equipment or garden supplies. Indicate the number of selling locations, the address, telephone number, website and email address of the business, as well as the landlord’s name, address, and telephone number. If there are multiple selling locations, additional addresses can be

listed on the reverse side (Item 66). Tax returns and other materials will be sent to the business address unless a different mailing address is specified (Item 42).

Items 50–51: Projected Monthly Sales

Indicate your projected monthly gross and taxable sales. If unsure, provide an estimate. Your projection helps to determine how often you will need to file a return. If your actual sales vary, we may adjust your filing frequency.

Items 52–55: Related Program Information

Provide your Alcoholic Beverage Control license number, if applicable. Indicate if you will be selling new tires, covered electronic devices, or tobacco products. We will contact you to determine if you need to register for any of these other programs.

Items 56–65: Related Party Information

Identify the person maintaining your records, your bank, and if you accept credit cards, your merchant card account. Also, identify major California-based suppliers and the products that you purchase from them.

Items 67–74: Ownership and Organiza- tional Changes

If you are purchasing a business, or changing from one type of business organization to another, provide the previous owner’s name and seller’s permit num- ber. If you are purchasing a business, you should request a tax clearance in advance to assure that you won’t have to pay any taxes owed by the previous owner.

Items 75–82: Temporary Permit Event Information

Applicants for a temporary permit must complete each item in this section.

Certification

Each owner, co-owner, partner, or corporate officer must sign the application.

Where Can I Get Help?

No doubt you will have questions about how the Sales and Use Tax Law applies to your business

operations. For assistance, you may take advantage of the resources listed below.

INTERNET

www.boe.ca.gov

You can log onto our website for additional infor- mation. For example, you can find out what the tax rate is in a particular county, or you can download numerous publications — such as laws, regulations, pamphlets, and policy manuals — that will help you understand how the law applies to your business. You can also verify sellers’ permit numbers online, read about upcoming Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights hearings, and obtain information on Board field office addresses and telephone numbers.

Another good resource — especially for starting businesses — is the California Tax Information Center at www.taxes.ca.gov.

CLASSES

You may enroll in a basic sales and use tax class offered by some local Board offices. You should call ahead to find out when your local office conducts classes for beginning sellers.

WRITTEN TAX ADVICE

It is best to get tax advice from the Board in writing. You may be relieved of tax, penalty, or interest charges if we determine you did not correctly report tax because you reasonably relied on our written advice regarding a transaction.

For this relief to apply, your request for advice must be in writing, identify the taxpayer to whom the advice applies, and fully describe the facts and circumstances of the transaction.

Send your request for written advice to:

State Board of Equalization; Audit and Information Section, MIC:44; PO Box 942879, Sacramento, CA 94279-0044.

Sales and Use Tax Privacy Notice

Information Provided to the Board of Equalization

We ask you for information so that we can administer the state’s sales and use tax laws (Revenue and Taxation Code sections 6001-7176, 7200-7226, 7251-7279.6, 7285-7288.6). We will use the information to determine whether you are paying the correct amount of tax and to collect any amounts you owe. You must provide all of the information we request, including your social security number (used for identification purposes [see Title 42 U.S. Code sec.405(c)(2)(C)(i)]).

What happens if I don’t provide the information?

If your application is incomplete, we may not issue your seller’s permit or use tax certificate. If you do not file complete returns, you may have to pay penalties and interest. Penalties may also apply if you don’t provide other information we request or that is required by law, or if you give us fraudulent information. In some cases, you may be subject to criminal prosecution.

In addition, if you don’t provide information we request to support your exemptions, credits, exclusions, or adjust- ments, we may not allow them. You may end up owing more tax or receiving a smaller refund.

Can anyone else see my information?

Your records are covered by state laws that protect your privacy. However, we may share information regarding your account with certain government agencies. We may also share certain information with companies authorized to represent local governments.

Under some circumstances we may release to the public the information printed on your permit, account start and closeout dates, and names of business owners or partners. When you sell a business, we can give the buyer or other involved parties information regarding your outstanding tax liability.

With your written permission, we can release information regarding your account to anyone you designate.

We may disclose information to the proper officials of the following agencies, among others:

United States government agencies: U.S. Attorney’s Office; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms; Depts. of Agriculture, Defense, and Justice; Federal Bureau of Investigation; General Accounting Office; Internal Revenue Service; Interstate Commerce Commission

State agencies outside of California for tax enforce- ment purposes

City attorneys and city prosecutors; county district attorneys, police and sheriff departments.

Can I review my records?

Yes. Please contact your closest Board office (see the white pages of your phone book). If you need more information, you may contact our Disclosure Officer in Sacramento by calling 916-445-2918. You may also want to obtain publication 58-A, How To Inspect and Correct Your Records.
