Sales and use taxes: exemption: automobile manufacturing.

(1) The Sales and Use Tax Law imposes 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. This bill would exempt from those taxes the gross receipts from the sale of, and the storage, use, or other consumption in this state of, tangible personal property, as specified, purchased for use by an automobile manufacturer located in Fremont, California or purchased for use by a contractor who will use the property in performing a construction contract for the automobile manufacturer, as specified. 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 the Transactions and Use Tax Law authorizes districts, as specified, to impose transactions and use taxes in conformity with the Sales and Use Tax Law. Exemptions from state sales and use taxes are incorporated in these laws. This bill would provide that this exemption does not apply to local sales and use taxes, transactions and use taxes, and specified state sales and use taxes. (2) This bill would state the findings and declarations of the Legislature concerning the need for special legislation.
