What does “do business in California” mean? If my LLC opens up a shop on Etsy and I ship to California customers am I supposed to register as a foreign LLC and pay $800/year?
If so, that’s nuts and we need some beefier Commerce Clause jurisprudence.
- skinnymuch 9y agoNo of course not. They mostly mean you literally are doing business in CA. Usually for small businesses it’s because you are living there.
- mark212 9y agoThis right here. Office in California, business assets in California, etc will trigger the tax on profits generated from those assets. Shipping goods to California doesn’t.
- jjeaff 9y agoYou can actually skirt them a bit as well even with employees or offices in CA, as long as they fall under certain defined thresholds.
