tax in restaurants california

In California, restaurants are subject to several types of taxes, including sales tax and restaurant-specific taxes. The California sales tax applies to the sale of tangible personal property, which includes food and beverages sold by restaurants. However, there are some exceptions, such as food sold for off-site consumption (take-out) and certain non-alcoholic beverages. Restaurants are required to collect sales tax on taxable sales, which is then remitted to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA)
