California to Tax Software and SaaS Starting January 1, 2027

  • California’s SB 122 will tax prewritten software and SaaS starting January 1, 2027.
  • The tax applies to software delivered electronically or accessed remotely, including SaaS.
  • The law adds “digital product” to the definition of tangible personal property.
  • Custom software remains exempt.
  • If a retailer’s remotely accessed digital-product sales to one purchaser exceed $5 million in a year, the purchaser must self-assess and pay use tax directly.
