Description
County meals tax; rate of tax and approval required. Removes the current cap of four percent for the county meals tax and allows counties to impose an uncapped rate. The bill would also allow counties to adopt or increase a meals tax by a majority vote of the elected members of the governing body.
Current law provides that a meals tax imposed by a county may not exceed four percent of the charge for food and beverages. In general, current law also requires approval by referendum before a county may impose a meals tax. Read the Bill »
