Sales Tax collection / Contract question:
My employer is a Virginia-based corporation. I work in CA. We sold a machine to a company in California. The contract read that the buyer was responsible for sales tax. (roughly $24,000) I know that if he doesn't pay it, we are on the hook for the tax.
My question is, assuming he does not pay it, and we do, how do we go about collecting from him? Multiple small-claims filings? Can a VA company do that to a CA company?
My employer is a very small company and the owners are somewhat retarded. We have no legal department. I think at some point, they will ask me what I think we should do.
