Summary
Existing law authorizes various local government entities, subject to certain limitations and approval requirements, to levy a transactions and use tax for specific purposes in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in the Transactions and Use Tax Law, which conforms to the Sales and Use Tax Law, including the requirement that the combined rate of all taxes that may be imposed under that law in the county not exceed 2%.
