Existing law authorizes cities and counties, subject to certain limitations and approval requirements, to levy a transactions and use tax for general or specific purposes, in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in the Transactions and Use Tax Law, including a requirement that the combined rate of all taxes that may be imposed in accordance with that law in the county not exceed 2%.
This bill would authorize the County of Solano or any city therein to impose a transactions and use tax for general purposes, at a rate of no more than 0.5% that, in combination with other transactions and use taxes, would exceed the above-described combined rate limit of 2%, if certain requirements are met. The bill would repeal this authorization on January 1,
2029, if an ordinance proposing the tax has not been approved by that date.
This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of Solano.
Existing law provides that division, part, chapter, article, and section headings do not in any manner affect the scope, meaning, or intent of the provisions of the Revenue and Taxation Code.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that provision.
