LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1077, as amended, Muratsuchi.
Sales and use taxes: vehicle license fee: exclusion: alternative fuel motor vehicles.
The Sales and Use Tax Law imposes state
Existing sales and use tax laws impose sales and use taxes 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 the sales price. Existing law also provides for specific exemptions from these taxes.
This bill would, on
and after January 1, 2014, and before January 1, 2022, exempt from the
those taxes imposed by the Sales and Use Tax Law, that portion of the gross receipts from the sale of, and that portion of the sales price with respect to the storage, use, or other consumption of, a qualified motor vehicle, as defined, that is the greater of (1) the sum of the amount of any credit under a specified provision of the Internal Revenue Code relating to new qualified plug-in electric drive motor vehicles, and any amount received, awarded, or allowed pursuant to a state incentive program for the purchase or lease of an alternative fuel vehicle; or (2) the value of a motor vehicle that is traded in for the motor vehicle that qualifies for a credit or incentive amount
under those programs, where if the value of the trade-in motor vehicle is separately stated on the new motor vehicle invoice or bill of sale or similar document provided to the purchaser.
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 existing law authorizes districts, as specified, to impose transactions and use taxes in accordance with the Transactions and Use Tax Law, which conforms to the Sales and Use Tax Law. Exemptions from state sales and use taxes are incorporated into these laws.
This bill would specify that this exclusion does not apply to local sales and use taxes and,
transactions and use taxes, or to certain specified state sales and use tax rates taxes.
The Vehicle License Fee Law provides that the annual amount of the license fee for any vehicle is 0.65% of the market value of the vehicle, as specified. That law provides for the determination of the market value of any vehicle, for reclassification to increase the market value of a vehicle, and for the exemption of certain vehicles from the imposition of the license fee.
This bill would, on and after January 1, 2014, and before January 1, 2022, for
purposes of determining the vehicle license fee, exempt from the determination of market value of a new motor vehicle propelled by alternative fuels any amount allowed as a credit under a specified provision of the Internal Revenue Code, relating to new qualified plug-in electric drive motor vehicles, and any amounts received, awarded, or allowed pursuant to a state incentive program for the purchase or lease of an alternative fuel vehicle, as provided.
This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
