Vehicle license fees for zero-emission vehicles: sales Sales and use taxes on taxes: exemption: medium- or heavy-duty zero-emission trucks.Existing sales and use tax laws impose taxes on retailers measured by 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, measured by sales price. The Sales and Use Tax Law provides various exemptions from those taxes.This bill would provide an exemption from those taxes with respect to the sale in this state of, and the storage, use, or other consumption in this state of, a qualified motor vehicle. The bill would define qualified motor vehicle as a specified zero-emission truck. The bill would disallow the exemption for sales or uses made on or after January 1, 2025, if the purchaser also received other specified benefits. The bill would provide that this exemption does not apply to specified state sales and use taxes from which the proceeds are deposited into the Local Revenue Fund, the Local Revenue Fund 2011, or the Local Public Safety Fund. 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.This bill would specify that this exemption does not apply to local sales and use taxes or transactions and use taxes. The bill would provide that the above-described exemption shall become inoperative on January 1, 2027, and as of that date is repealed.Existing law, the Vehicle License Fee Law, establishes, in lieu of any ad valorem property tax upon vehicles, an annual license fee for any vehicle subject to registration in this state at a specified percentage of the market value of that vehicle. Existing law requires the annual amount of the license fee for any commercial vehicle to be a sum equal to 0.65 percent of the market value of the vehicle as determined by the California Department of Motor Vehicles.This bill would instead require, for license fees due prior to January 1, 2027, the annual amount of the license fee for a new on-road medium- or heavy-duty zero-emission truck to be a sum equal to 0.65 percent of the market value of an equivalent new medium- or heavy-duty diesel or gasoline truck, as determined by the State Air Resources Board.Existing law requires a bill that would authorize a new tax expenditure under the Sales and Use Tax Law to identify specific goals, purposes, and objectives that the tax expenditure will achieve, and detailed performance indicators and data collection requirements for determining whether the tax expenditure achieves these goals, purposes, and objectives.This bill would make findings specifying the goal, purpose, and objective of the sales and use tax exemption provided by this bill and the performance indicator to be used, and would require, on or before January 1, 2023, the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration to provide a report to the Assembly Committee on Revenue and Taxation and the Senate Committee on Governance and Finance on the use of the tax exemption.This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY  Appropriation: NO  Fiscal Committee: YES  Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
