California's state sales-tax base rate is 7.25 percent (local additions vary), and on most deals the tax rolls into the financed amount rather than coming out of pocket. The UCC-1 securing the equipment gets filed with the California Secretary of State, and we handle that filing at funding.

Full state-level detail lives on our California guide.
