CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2017–2018 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill

No. 1466

---

Introduced by Senator Glazer

February 16, 2018

---

An act relating to taxation.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1466, as introduced, Glazer. Local sales taxes.

The Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law authorizes counties and cities to impose a local sales and use tax in accordance with that law for tangible personal property sold at retail in the county or city, or purchased for storage, use, or other consumption in the county or city. Existing law requires the city tax rate to be credited against the county rate so that the combined rate does not exceed 1.25%. Existing law requires the county or city to contract with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration for the administration of the taxes and requires the department to transmit that tax to the city or county.

The Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law provides that for the purpose of a local sales tax adopted pursuant to that law, all retail sales are consummated at the place of business of the retailer unless otherwise specified. Existing law provides that these local sales taxes are allocated to the place where the sale is deemed to take place.

The California Constitution prohibits the Legislature from enacting a statute that would change the method of distributing revenues derived under the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law, as that law read on November 3, 2004, except the Legislature may change that law by statute to allow the state to participate in an interstate compact or to comply with federal law.

This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would provide that, in the case of certain sales of tangible personal property that are transacted online, the place at which the retail sale of that tangible personal property is consummated for the purpose of a local sales tax imposed pursuant to the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law is the point of the delivery of that tangible personal property. The bill would further state that it is the intent of the Legislature that such legislation would be effective only if a constitutional amendment that allows the Legislature to change the method of allocation under the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law is approved by the voters.
