Private party transfer in CA
Ok where do I begin. I inherited a gun from my uncle who passed away who lived in Arizona. I live in California. I want to sell the gun because its something i do not want and would rather get some money for it. It is a handgun. Can I still go to a ffl dealer and sell the gun preivate party to another buye with this being the case or am i stuck with it or??? I have no idea what to do. Please help thanks

Does the buyer have to pay tax on a private party sale during the transfer at the ffl? 0 -
I would say no-because you as a private individual are not a tax collector which the FFL is but only for guns he actually sells from his inventory--not for ones he is transferring from a private party to private party. In CA though there will of course be the DROS fee which I guess is a roundabout tax but nothing that you have to worry about. 0 -
I've done 100 or so PPTs in CA as a buyer and have never been asked to pay sales tax. I believe the previous post - that the seller of the gun as an unlicensed (meaning no CA business license) individual - is not required to collect sales tax.
Besides, how much can the tax be on that $115.00 Python? [^]0 -

No he does not. Private sale transactions, other than the sale/transfer of motor vehicles (there are exceptions for relatives), are not subject to sales or use tax in California. Keep in mind that this only applies to actual private party transactions; where two private parties appear before the dealer to transfer a firearm in compliance with state regulations. If you simply order a firearm from an out of state source and have it shipped to a CA dealer you'll be paying sales tax in this state. 0
