Question
Use tax in California when I'm not the buyer.
A friend that lives in another country bought an item in a third country and asked me permission to send it to my address "in care of", so I can keep it until he comes.
The invoice is on his name.
I got a letter from California Department of Tax and Fee Administration that said that they received information from the customs, and that I owe use tax in this item.
1. Do I really owe the tax?
2. If not, how can I prove that it's not for me? Do I need to send them the invoice?
