California Supreme Court: Complaint Over Sales Tax on Coffee Sold to Go Precluded by Tax Code

The California Supreme Court found claims that Target Corp. improperly collected sales tax on nontaxable sales of hot coffee sold "to go" precluded, finding the state tax code requires the consumers' challenge be resolved by the state's equalization board and allows the retailer a safe harbor for remitting the reimbursement charges.
