                        FEBRUARY 27, 2009

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1265, as amended, Ma. Sales and use taxes: consumers: itinerant
vendors.
   The Sales and Use Tax Law imposes a tax on retailers measured by
the 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 sales price. That law, with certain exceptions, defines a
retailer as a seller who makes any retail sale of tangible personal
property and as a person who makes more than 2 retail sales of
tangible personal property during any 12-month period, and defines a
retail sale as a sale of tangible personal property for any purpose
other than resale in the regular course of business.
   This bill would specify, until January 1, 2012, that a qualified
itinerant vendor, as defined, is a consumer, and not a retailer, of
tangible personal property owned and sold by  a 
 the  qualified itinerant vendor, except for alcoholic
beverages  or items sold for more than $100  , so that the
retail sale subject to tax is the sale of tangible personal property
to the qualified itinerant vendor.
   The Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law authorizes
counties and cities to impose local sales and use taxes in conformity
with the Sales and Use Tax Law, and the Transactions and Use Tax Law
authorizes districts, as specified, to impose transactions and use
taxes in conformity with the Sales and Use Tax Law. Exemptions from
state sales and use taxes are incorporated in these  taxes
  laws  . Section 2230 of the Revenue and Taxation
Code provides that the state will reimburse counties and cities for
revenue losses caused by the enactment of sales and use tax
exemptions.
   This bill would provide that, notwithstanding Section 2230 of the
Revenue and Taxation Code, no appropriation is made and the state
shall not reimburse local agencies for sales and use tax revenues
lost by them pursuant to this bill.
   This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy, but its
operative date would depend on its effective date.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
