Sales and Use Tax Rate Will Increase on January 1, 2013

Due to voter approval of Proposition 30, the statewide sales and use tax rate will increase one quarter of one percent (0.25%) on January 1, 2013. The higher tax rate will apply for four years — January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2016.

For more information on this increase, please visit our tax rate increase webpage. For a listing of tax rates, please visit our California City & County Sales & Use Tax Rates webpage.

In addition to the statewide sales and use tax rate increase, voters in some cities and counties approved a number of new or increased district taxes that will go into effect April 1, 2013. These new or increased district taxes will be sent to taxpayers in a separate notice.

The City of LA will vote on March 5 whether to raise their sales tax from 9.0% to 9.5%.

If you know anyone in LA (map (http://navigatela.lacity.org/common/mapgallery/pdf/council_districts/CDindex.pdf)), let them know that there is an election to raise the sales tax on March 5. Turnout will be low.
