One Time Payment Only

California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA)

Credit Card and Debit Card Payments

You will need your CDTFA account number and credit card or debit card.

Note: A 2.3% service fee
will be charged on the total transaction amount by the credit card processing vendor. This fee is retained by the vendor and is not revenue to CDTFA. Once your payment is processed, you will receive a confirmation number. Please keep this confirmation number for your records. The payment and service fee will appear as separate charges on your credit card statement.

If your account is required to pay by electronic funds transfer (EFT), credit or debit card payments are not considered EFT. Using a credit or debit card instead of EFT will result in penalties and/or interest charges.

For questions regarding payments, you may contact CDTFA's customer service center at 1-800-400-7115 (TTY:711), Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time), except state holidays, or by visiting www.cdtfa.ca.gov.
