Hey everyone,

I am a German expat living in California and I am pretty new to the tax laws here. I would really appreciate your input.

I need to write an invoice for an educational trip I organized recently and I am very much confused, what taxes I have to pay.

Some more background:

• I organize educational trips for German executives here in California

• The company I invoice for my service sits in Germany, my company is a LLC registered in California

• My service is solely provided in California

From my understanding, I don't need to collect Sales Tax since my service is not a physical good. Now the next question is, if I have to pay VAT on this. I would assume not, since the service is provided only in California. I am so confused

Anyone who could help me out with that?

Thanks a lot.
