Existing state sales and use tax laws impose a tax 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. The Sales and Use Tax Law provides various exemptions from those taxes, including an exemption for the sale of, or the storage, use, or other consumption of, a new or remanufactured trailer or semitrailer with an unladen weight of 6,000 pounds or more that is purchased for use without this state and is delivered to the purchaser within this state, and the purchaser drives or moves the vehicle to any point outside this state within 30 or 75 days, as applicable, from and after the date of delivery, if the purchaser furnishes certain documents to the manufacturer or remanufacturer. Those documents include the purchaser's affidavit as to the exclusive use of the vehicle in interstate or foreign commerce, and the vehicle having been taken out of the state within the applicable time period. This bill, until January 1, 2024, would additionally include within this exemption the sale of, or the storage, use, or consumption of, a new, used, or remanufactured truck with an unladen weight of 6,000 pounds or more that is purchased for use without this state. By requiring additional purchaser affidavits, this bill would expand the crime of perjury and impose a state-mandated local program. 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 laws authorize districts, as specified, to impose transactions and use taxes in accordance with the Transactions and Use Tax Law, which generally conforms to the Sales and Use Tax Law. Amendments to the Sales and Use Tax Law are automatically incorporated into the local tax laws. Existing law requires the state to 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 any local agencies for sales and use tax revenues lost by them pursuant to this bill. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy, but its operative date would depend on its effective date.
