Hi all,
Coming to you from California… Does anyone understand the necessity/ circumstances for when a sales permit is needed, and when we charge sales tax?

Sandy, in which state are you starting your cottage-food business. Some require inspections and some don’t. It’s also possible that some municipalities may require inspections, even if the state does not.

Cottage Oven started the topic Setting up a chart of accounts for bookkeeping in the forum Business 6 years, 4 months ago
