Sales Tax Policy

California Propane is committed to providing clear and transparent information regarding applicable sales and use taxes on purchases made through our website and other authorized purchasing channels.

The amount of tax applicable to a transaction may depend on the product, transaction type, delivery location, and applicable federal, state, and local tax requirements.

1. General Sales Tax Information

Retail sales of tangible personal property in California are generally subject to sales tax unless a specific exemption or exclusion applies.

California’s statewide sales and use tax rate is currently 7.25%. However, the total applicable rate may be higher in locations where additional district taxes apply.

The applicable tax rate for a particular transaction may therefore vary depending on the location and circumstances of the sale.

2. Tax Calculation

California Propane will apply applicable sales or use tax to taxable transactions in accordance with applicable tax laws and regulations.

The tax amount may depend on factors including:

• The type of product purchased.

• The location associated with the sale.

• The delivery destination, where applicable.

• Applicable state and local tax rates.

• Whether a specific exemption or exclusion applies.

• Other circumstances recognized under applicable tax law.

Customers should not assume that the tax rate applicable to one transaction will necessarily apply to another transaction at a different location.

3. Tax Display at Checkout

Where online checkout is available, applicable taxes will generally be calculated and displayed as part of the purchasing process where reasonably determinable.

The amount displayed may depend on the customer’s billing or delivery information and the applicable tax rules.

Customers should review the order summary before completing a purchase.

4. California District Taxes

California has numerous special tax districts that impose additional sales and use taxes in certain locations.

As a result, the total sales and use tax rate may be higher than the statewide base rate.

The applicable district tax may depend on the location where the transaction is considered to take place under California tax rules.

California Propane will apply applicable district taxes where required.

5. Delivery and Shipping Charges

The tax treatment of delivery and shipping charges can depend on how the delivery is arranged, how the charge is stated, the actual delivery cost, and other circumstances.

For example, California tax guidance provides that certain separately stated delivery charges may be excluded from taxable receipts when specified conditions are met, while other delivery or handling charges may be taxable. Delivery using the retailer’s own vehicle can also receive different tax treatment depending on the circumstances.

Accordingly, California Propane does not represent that every delivery charge will automatically be taxable or automatically exempt.

Applicable tax treatment will be determined based on the circumstances of the transaction and applicable law.

6. Handling Charges

Handling charges associated with taxable sales may be subject to sales tax.

California tax guidance generally treats handling charges differently from qualifying separately stated transportation charges.

Where applicable, California Propane will apply tax to taxable handling or service charges as required.

7. Tax-Exempt Transactions

Certain purchases may qualify for an exemption or exclusion from sales or use tax under applicable law.

Examples may include certain transactions involving qualifying purchasers or specific types of exempt sales.

A customer seeking tax-exempt treatment may be required to provide appropriate documentation or certification before the transaction can be treated as exempt.

California Propane does not determine tax-exempt status solely on the customer’s request without appropriate supporting documentation where such documentation is required.

8. Resale Purchases

Customers purchasing qualifying products for resale may be eligible for resale treatment where the requirements of applicable California tax law are satisfied.

A valid resale certificate or other required documentation may be necessary.

California Propane may request appropriate documentation before applying resale treatment to a transaction.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that information supplied in connection with a resale or exemption claim is accurate and valid.

9. Tax on Internet Purchases

Internet purchases are generally subject to the same sales and use tax rules that apply to comparable retail transactions.

California’s tax authority states that retail internet sales taking place in California or involving delivery in California are generally subject to California sales or use tax unless a specific exemption or exclusion applies.

California Propane will collect and remit applicable taxes as required by law.

10. Use Tax

In certain circumstances, use tax rather than sales tax may apply to taxable property purchased for use, storage, or consumption in California.

The sales and use tax rates are generally the same, although the circumstances determining which tax applies can differ.

Customers with questions regarding their individual tax obligations should consult an appropriately qualified tax professional or the relevant tax authority.

11. Tax Invoices and Records

Where applicable, California Propane may provide invoices, receipts, or other transaction records showing the purchase price and applicable tax amounts.

Customers should retain transaction records for their own accounting, tax, or business purposes.

Businesses purchasing products for resale or tax-exempt purposes should retain the documentation required under applicable law.

12. Tax Rate Changes

Sales and use tax rates may change as a result of changes in state or local law, district taxes, or other applicable requirements.

If the applicable tax rate changes, California Propane may update the tax calculated on transactions occurring after the effective date of the applicable change.

The tax rate applicable to a particular transaction will be determined in accordance with the law applicable to that transaction.

13. Tax Questions

California Propane can provide information regarding the taxes shown on a particular transaction, but we cannot provide individualized tax, legal, or accounting advice.

Customers with questions regarding their personal or business tax obligations should consult a qualified tax professional or the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration.

14. Corrections to Tax Charges

If an applicable tax amount has been incorrectly calculated or collected, California Propane will review the transaction and take appropriate corrective action where required.

Depending on the circumstances, a correction may involve:

• A refund.

• An additional amount due.

• An adjusted invoice.

• A corrected transaction record.

• Another appropriate accounting adjustment.

Corrections will be handled in accordance with applicable tax requirements.

15. Tax Information and Merchant Center

Where applicable, California Propane aims to ensure that tax information associated with products and transactions is presented accurately and consistently across the website and relevant e-commerce systems.

Tax settings used for online sales may vary depending on the customer’s location and the applicable tax requirements.

Product prices, checkout totals, and tax information should be reviewed before completing a purchase.
