The Sales and Use Tax Law imposes a tax on retailers measured by gross receipts from the sale of tangible personal property sold at retail in this state, or on the storage, use, or other consumption in this state of tangible personal property purchased from a retailer for storage, use, or other consumption in this state, measured by the sales price of the property. That law provides various exclusions from gross receipts and sales price, including an exclusion for separately stated charges for transportation from the retailer's place of business or other point from which shipment is made directly to the purchaser, as specified.
