Only goods that are sold for a profit are considered taxable, so you won't owe any taxes on something you sell for less than what you paid for it. For example, if you bought a bike for $1,000 last year, and then sold it on eBay today for $700, that $700 you made would generally not be subject to income tax.

Examples: A person buys a vehicle from a dealer in a neighboring state and the dealer does not charge sales tax on the vehicle. The buyer must pay use tax on the purchase price of the vehicle when he/she returns to his/her state and/or city.

If the taxpayer enters zero on line 91, the taxpayer must check one of two boxes indicating that either the taxpayer owes no use tax or the taxpayer has remitted his or her use tax obligation for the taxable year directly to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA).

Use the Estimated Use Tax Table to estimate the use tax due on individual, non-business items purchased for less than $1,000, then add the amounts and report the total use tax on Line 91.

CDTFA-530, Schedule C, lists the addresses of all your places of business for which seller's permits have been issued. Locations within a single city, or within the unincorporated area of a single county, are grouped.

Sales tax and use tax are effectively the same tax. They are assessed at the same rates and are owed on the same array of goods and services. The difference is that a seller collects and remits sales tax while a purchaser calculates and remits use tax.
