# How to register for a sales tax permit in California

| Sidr Tax creates the sales tax account for you. However, this state requires that you have your own login and we access your account as a third-party.

### Create your [CDTFA](https://onlineservices.cdtfa.ca.gov/) login

After Sidr Tax applies for a sales tax permit on your behalf, you will receive your California sales tax ID, and filing frequency in the mail.

Once you receive your sales tax ID, and filing frequency in the mail, you can create an account on [the CDTFA website](https://onlineservices.cdtfa.ca.gov/). The CDTFA website will guide you through the steps to claim ownership of your new sales tax account.
