Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority: transactions and use tax.
Summary
Existing law authorizes the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to impose an additional transportation transactions and use tax at a maximum rate of 0.5% as long as a specified existing 0.5% transactions and use tax is in effect, and at a maximum rate of 1% thereafter, as specified, for a period of time determined by the MTA, if certain conditions exist and subject to various requirements, including the adoption of an expenditure plan and voter approval, as specified. The Transactions and Use Tax Law limits to 2% the combined rate of all transactions and use taxes imposed in any county, with certain exceptions, including the MTA transactions and use tax described above. This bill would correct an erroneous cross-reference in these provisions.
