LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 694, as amended, Corbett. Personal income and bank and corporation tax laws: credits: health coverage Income and corporation taxes: sales and use taxes.
Under the Personal Income Tax Law and the Bank and Corporation Tax Law, various provisions of the federal Internal Revenue Code, as enacted as of a specified date, are referenced in various sections of the Revenue and Taxation Code. Those laws provide that for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 1998, the specified date of those referenced Internal Revenue Code sections is January 1, 1998, unless otherwise specifically provided.
Existing law requires, for any introduced bill that proposes changes in any of those dates, that the Franchise Tax Board prepare a complete analysis of the bill that describes all changes to state law that will automatically occur by reference to federal law as of the changed date. It further requires the Franchise Tax Board to immediately update and supplement that analysis upon any amendment to the bill, and requires that analysis to be made available to the public and to be submitted to the Legislature for publication in the daily journal of each house of the Legislature.
This bill would change the specified date of those referenced Internal Revenue Code sections to January 1, 2001, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2001, and thereby would make numerous substantive changes to both the Personal Income Tax Law and the Bank and Corporation Tax Law with respect to those areas of preexisting conformity that are subject to changes under federal laws enacted after January 1, 1998, and that have not been, or are not being, excepted or modified.
This bill would make certain other changes in federal income tax laws applicable, with specified exceptions and modifications, and make specified supplemental, technical, or clarifying changes, for purposes of the Personal Income Tax Law or the Bank and Corporation Tax Law, or both, with respect to, among other things, credits that may reduce certain taxes below the tentative minimum tax, the credit for research and development expenses, the exclusion of extraterritorial income, the Ricky Ray Hemophilia Relief Fund Act of 1998, the mark to market accounting method, the inapplicability of excise tax on premiums paid, certain amounts paid in connection with insurance contracts, specified federal acts, the installment method of accounting, the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996, determinations relating to deferred compensation, special rule for certain receivables, taxation of estates and trusts, small business stock, failure by an individual to pay estimated income tax, underpayment of estimated tax, underpayments of installments, elimination of interest on overlapping periods of tax overpayments and underpayments, certain publicly traded partnerships treated as corporations, the deduction for a qualified computer contribution, secured indebtedness, securities futures contracts, and the sale or exchange of livestock. This bill would specify various dates on which specified provisions apply, make findings and declarations that certain provisions are declaratory of existing law, and specify the intent and operation in the application of provisions conforming to various federal acts.
The Personal Income Tax Law and the Bank and Corporation Tax Law authorize various credits against the taxes imposed by those laws.
This bill would authorize a credit against those taxes for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2001, and before January 1, 2006, in an amount, determined pursuant to a specified section of the Internal Revenue Code, that is paid or incurred during the taxable year for rehabilitation of historic buildings. This bill would provide for a 25% credit for rehabilitation of a certified historic structure within a redevelopment area.
This bill would, under both laws, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2002, and before January 1, 2007, allow a credit in an amount equal to 10% of the cost to be included in inventory costs, as specified with respect to the donation of agricultural products to food banks located in California.
This bill would authorize a credit against those taxes for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2001, and before January 1, 2006, in an amount equal to 50% of the amount paid or incurred during the taxable year for qualified expenses, as defined, in connection with lending qualified employees, as defined, to public schools, as defined, for the purpose of teaching mathematics or science.
The Personal Income Tax Law allows various deductions in computing the amount of income that is subject to the taxes imposed by that law.
This bill would authorize, until January 1, 2006, a deduction under that law for the costs paid or incurred during the taxable year for specified mortgage insurance or related funding fees by a first-time homebuyer, as defined, for each year that he or she owns a principal residence located in California.
The Personal Income Tax Law allows a credit against the taxes imposed by that law in an amount equal to 50% of the costs, as specified, paid or incurred by a taxpayer for the adoption of any minor child who is a citizen or legal resident of the United States and was in the custody of a public agency of either this state or a political subdivision of this state.
This bill would, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2001, and before January 1, 2006, provide conformity to the credit for adoption expenses allowed by federal income tax laws for adoptions that are not eligible for the existing state income tax credit, with specified exceptions and modifications.
Under existing law the Franchise Tax Board is authorized to impose a 25% penalty for (1) failure to file a return upon notice and demand of the Franchise Tax Board and (2) failure to furnish information in response to a written request from the Franchise Tax Board.
This bill provides that, in the case of an individual taxpayer, the 25% penalty only applies to the portion of the tax, reduced by any applicable credits, that remains unpaid after the date prescribed for the payment of the tax.
The Sales and Use Tax Law imposes a tax on the gross receipts from the sale in this state of, or the storage, use, or other consumption in this state of, tangible personal property. That law provides various exemptions from that tax, including an exemption from state sales and use taxes for the gross receipts from the sale of, and the storage, use, or other consumption of, certain tangible personal property purchased for use by a qualified person, as defined, to be used primarily in any stage of manufacturing, processing, refining, fabricating, or recycling of property.
This bill would expand this exemption to also include computers and computer peripheral equipment used by computer software developers.
The Sales and Use Tax Law imposes a tax on the gross receipts from the sale in this state of, or the storage, use, or other consumption in this state of, tangible personal property. That law provides various exemptions and partial exemptions from that tax, including a partial exemption for vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements, and orthotic devices used or furnished by a licensed chiropractor in the performance of his or her professional services.
This bill would additionally provide a partial exemption with respect to any herb, herbal formula or preparation, vitamin, mineral, dietary supplement, orthotic device, or other naturally occurring substance included in the Encyclopedia of Chinese Materia Medica that is used or furnished by an acupuncturist in the performance of his or her professional services.
Counties and cities are authorized to impose local sales and use taxes in conformity with state sales and use taxes. Exemptions from state sales and use taxes enacted by the Legislature are incorporated into the local taxes.
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 the operative date of specified provisions would depend on the effective date of the bill.

The Personal Income Tax Law and the Bank and Corporation Tax Law authorize various credits against the taxes imposed by those laws.

This bill would authorize a credit against those taxes for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2002, and before January 1, 2008, in an amount equal to 20% of the amount paid or incurred during the taxable year for health coverage for eligible employees and their dependents, or 10% of the amount paid or incurred during the taxable year for health coverage for eligible employees only.

This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
