Summary

(1) Existing law provides for the establishment of the Franchise Tax Board and prescribes its various powers and duties regarding the administration of state personal income taxes and corporation franchise and income taxes. The State Board of Equalization collects and administers various taxes and fees imposed under specified programs and serves as an arbiter for the resolution of tax disputes involving the imposition of fees and taxes, including those taxes administered by the Franchise Tax Board. This bill would abolish the Franchise Tax Board, and would provide for the transfer of its powers and duties to the State Board of Equalization, effective January 1, 2013. (2) Existing law imposes, on employers in this state, unemployment insurance taxes that are administered by the Employment Development Department. Existing law also imposes taxes on insurance companies that are administered by the Department of Insurance. This bill would also provide for the transfer of the tax administrative functions performed by the Employment Development Department and the Department of Insurance to the State Board of Equalization, effective January 1, 2013. (3) This bill would require the State Board of Equalization to submit a report to the Governor and the Legislature, on or before June 30, 2012, regarding the board's assumption of the duties of the Franchise Tax Board and the assumption of the tax administration functions of the Employment Development Department and the Department of Insurance, as specified. This bill would also repeal this reporting requirement on June 30, 2016.
