Oh, California. That explains a lot. From my perspective as a lifetime FL resident, CA seems to have laws that appear convoluted to me. But that's just my perspective which doesn't really mean much.
In FL, the state sales tax is payable quarterly if the gross business income is below some certain threshold, and monthly if above that threshold. I don't know what the threshold is, because I'm so far below it that it's of no concern to me. The city sales tax is only due for products I provide to a city client within the city limits. That doesn't happen very often. There is a tangible property tax that's paid yearly on business assets figured on their depreciated value. But I don't pay it since my business assets do not exceed the $25K exemption threshold. (For my SCH C business - not the SCH E rentals)
