B&H handles CDTFA sales tax registration, filing, and compliance for Willow Glen small businesses — boutique retailers, restaurants, antique dealers, and e-commerce sellers operating in San Jose's most charming neighborhood.
Lincoln Avenue is dense with boutique shops, restaurants, bakeries, and antique stores — each with its own sales tax obligations. California's CDTFA rules are detailed and the penalties for late or missed filings are steep. We handle it so you don't have to.
Starting a new business on Lincoln Avenue? We register you with the CDTFA, get your seller's permit, and set up your filing schedule — monthly, quarterly, or annual based on your sales volume.
Not everything is taxable in California. We correctly separate taxable sales from exempt revenue — important for Willow Glen restaurants, caterers, and businesses that mix products and services.
CDTFA penalties are 10% of tax due — plus daily interest. We file before every deadline and set up reminders so you're never caught off guard by a CDTFA notice.

Any business selling tangible personal property in California must collect and remit sales tax. This includes boutique retailers, gift shops, antique stores, and restaurants on Lincoln Avenue. Many services are exempt — but if you sell merchandise or operate a food establishment, you likely need a CDTFA seller's permit.
CDTFA filing frequency depends on your annual sales volume. Most small businesses file quarterly; higher-volume sellers file monthly and may owe prepayments. We determine your correct schedule and file every return on time.
CDTFA imposes a 10% penalty on tax due for late filing, plus interest that accrues daily. Repeated late filings can trigger an audit. We file on time every period — and if you have back returns, we help you get current with the least exposure possible.
