 The Buzz: California tax collectors warn animal sellers to pony up

 It can confidently be reported that, in terms of trying to balance the state 
budget, California is going to the dogs. And cats.
  
 In its tireless efforts to drum up revenue, the Board of Equalization 
announced last week it's sending reminder letters to pet sellers that they may 
be 
liable for collecting and paying sales taxes on their sales.
  
 "If you are in the business of selling dogs, cats or other animals that are 
considered non-food animals in California, you need to register with the BOE," 
a board press release announced.


 The law covers anyone who makes more than two separate sales a year, from 
pro breeders to garage sale puppy vendors.
  
 The board estimates the state loses $14 million a year in untaxed pet sales, 
which if collected would cover about 0.0018 percent of the current deficit.
  
 That assumes hamsters are "non-food animals."
