Internet Shipments and Taxation
California Tax Bulletin March 1999
"While there is no specific tax exemption for sales
made over the internet, some of your internet sales may not be
subject to tax. For example, the sale of electronic data products
is generally not taxable when products are electronically transferred
to your customers, whether over the internet, by modem, or by
other electronic means. However, if as a part of the sale you
provide your customer in California with tangible personal property
- such as a hard copy of the electronically transferred information
or a copy on a physical storage medium such as a CD ROM or diskette
- your sale of the electronic product may be taxable."
**Our software is strictly shipped over the internet
without any tangible products or copies following.
