Tax refund flying out of California?

12/18/2014 6:34:55 PM

Page 5, section 8 of this California Board of Equalization newsletter has the answer:

  1. Items Sold to Residents of a Foreign Country or Another State

We have received complaints from foreign buyers that they were
incorrectly advised by retailers that they could receive a refund of
the sales tax on items they purchased and picked up in California.
They were told they could do this by presenting their receipts at the
airport. Although many countries have such a provision for foreign
travelers, California does not.

Nor does California have this provision for residents of other states.
Consequently, if foreign tourists ask about a refund of tax paid on
purchases, you should inform them that tax applies to merchandise
delivered in California regardless of its ultimate destination.
