Hi Californians,
I ordered the some parts from Carson, they sent the receipt as
shipping charge + the items + tax = total cost. Just wanna to know if they charged me correctly. Or they just wanna to help to increase CA's revenue

Thanks.

they shouldn't charge for taxes on shipping!! Now that I think about it they did the same thing to me!! I order the JP neck pads, on the invoice they did this:
40 neck pads
8 shipping


tax=3.96
total=51.96

the tax should have been $3.3 not $3.96. I dont mind because is only a few cents but they shouldn't do that imagine if you order some thing big like a body kit!!! also they charge 8.25% on tax?? I thought the state tax was 7.75% at least where I live is 7.75%

I'm pretty sure tax is 8.25%... at least in most areas.

California has a statewide sales tax of 7.25%, and local supplementary taxes are allowed up to 8.75% - Wikipedia

Sales tax is done by county.

i.e. LA is 8.25%, OC is 7.75%

According to the board of equalization, I believe you can charge taxes on shipping.

Hey guys I just noticed this thread and wanted to clear it for you guys. There is no sales tax on shipping charges. What might have happend is just an error on our side at the cashiers. If you have an invoice that shows that, just pm me or give me a call so we can take care of it for you.
