A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by amending Section 25.5 of Article XIII thereof, relating to taxation.

Abstract

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 those taxes 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 measure would provide that, on and after January 1, 2020, for the purpose of distributing the revenues derived under a sales tax imposed pursuant to the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law, the retail sale of tangible personal property by a qualified retailer, as defined, that is transacted online is instead consummated at the point of the delivery of that tangible personal property to the purchaser's address or to any other delivery address designated by the purchaser.
