Don't File Your Restaurant Taxes Until You Watch This (California)

Описание: California restaurant owners — are you overpaying taxes or at risk of an audit? 🍔🍕
Running a restaurant chain in California means juggling sales tax, payroll, tips, and tough CDTFA rules. Many owners get caught by surprise — but with the right strategy, you can save thousands AND stay audit-proof.

In this video, I’ll break down everything you need to know in 2025:
✅ The 80/80 Rule and why it could make ALL of your sales taxable
✅ Sales tax red flags that trigger CDTFA audits
✅ Tips & gratuities — what’s taxable, what’s not, and how to report them correctly
✅ California’s $800 minimum franchise tax & 2025 updates to sourcing rules
✅ Recordkeeping practices that keep you safe during audits
✅ Deductions and credits for restaurant owners (equipment, energy, benefits)
✅ Real-world examples of how tax mistakes can cost you big money

💡 Quick Example:
If you sell $1M and 80%+ of it is taxable food, CDTFA could tax all $1M unless you keep proper records. That’s the difference between thousands saved — or thousands lost.

⚠️ Important Note

Tax rules in California are strict and change often. This video covers general strategies only — always confirm with a CPA who specializes in California restaurants before making decisions.
