A web site is essentially an electronic forwarding agent from which orders are sent on to the retailer. Under Regulation 1699(a), the place of sale for local sales tax purposes for orders placed on the Internet would be the jurisdiction where the employee who receives the order is located. Thus, the place of sale for these transactions would be the City of Hayward. The location of the web server is immaterial. 12/30/97. (M99–2).
