AmmoReady now supports handling for the recent CA 11% Excise Tax on firearms and ammunition purchases effective on July 1, 2024. Note: Even if you are not a CA-based business using the AmmoReady platform, you can still enable this setting to charge the CA 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition sales going to the state of California, should you wish to do so. Please consult a CPA or tax professional for advisement regarding this CA state tax on firearms and ammunition sales and whether your business meets the qualification to legally require the collection of this excise tax by law.
