Bent Gadgets: Understanding California Sales Tax on Your Purchase

At Bent Gadgets, we strive to be transparent about all aspects of your purchase, including sales tax. As a California-based company, we're required to collect and remit sales tax on all taxable purchases in accordance with state and local regulations. This page provides a detailed breakdown of California's sales tax policy and how it applies to your Bent Gadgets purchase.

California Sales Tax Overview:

• Statewide Rate: The base sales tax rate in California is currently 7.25%. This rate applies to most taxable goods and services sold within the state.
• Local Rates: In addition to the state rate, many counties and cities in California add additional local sales tax rates, ranging from 0.1% to 1.0%. The combined sales tax rate you pay will depend on the specific location where you make your purchase.
• Taxable Items: Generally, sales tax applies to the retail sale of tangible personal property and some services. This includes most of the products offered by Bent Gadgets, such as mining machines, graphics cards, computer components, and pre-built mining rigs.

Determining Your Sales Tax Rate:

To determine the total sales tax you will pay on your Bent Gadgets purchase, you need to consider the following:

• Your Shipping Address: The sales tax rate applied to your order will be based on the ship-to address, not the billing address. You can find your local sales tax rate by visiting the California Board of Equalization website: [link to CA BOE website].
• Product Category: Certain items may be exempt from sales tax or subject to a different tax rate. For example, some computer components may be considered business equipment and exempt from sales tax for qualified businesses. Please contact us if you have questions about the taxability of specific products.

Bent Gadgets' Sales Tax Policy:

• We automatically calculate and collect the applicable sales tax on your order based on your shipping address and current tax rates.
• The total sales tax amount will be clearly displayed on your checkout page before you complete your purchase.
• We remit all collected sales tax to the appropriate state and local government agencies.

Additional Information:

• Exemptions and Discounts: Certain exemptions and discounts may apply to your purchase, reducing your sales tax liability. Please review the California Board of Equalization website for details: [link to CA BOE website].
• Tax Certificates: Businesses with valid resale certificates may be eligible for sales tax exemption. Please contact us for more information on providing your resale certificate.
• Changes in Tax Rates: Sales tax rates are subject to change by the state or local governments. We will update our website and systems to reflect any changes in tax rates as they occur.
