California law requires taxes be paid on in-state purchases, and requires taxes be paid on items purchased out-of-state for use inside California. Tax collected by the retailer in California is called sales tax, and the retailer is responsible for reporting and filing a quarterly tax return with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). When an out-of-state or online retailer doesn’t collect the tax for an item delivered to California, the purchaser may owe “use tax,” which is a tax on the use, storage, or consumption of personal property in California. Taxpayers can report and pay their use tax on their annual California income tax returns; whereas registered sellers report their use tax on their quarterly sales and use tax returns.
|
Effective April 1, 2025, the combined sales tax and transactions/use tax rate for Cathedral City will be 9.25%, comprised of the following:
|
| o State General Fund |
3.9375% |
| o State Local Revenue Fund – Health and Social Services |
0.5000% |
| o State Local Public Safety Fund – Criminal Justice |
0.5000% |
| o State Local Revenue Fund |
1.0625% |
| o County Transportation |
0.2500% |
| o City/County Local Tax (Note 1) |
1.0000% |
| o Riverside County Use Tax (Measure A) Tax (Note 2) |
0.5000% |
| o Transaction and Use Tax (Measures H & W (Note 1) |
1.5000% |
Note 1 - Sales tax (1%) and transaction/use tax (1.5%) represent the City of Cathedral City’s single largest revenue source. Of the nine industry categories, the automotive category (dealers and supplies) generally accounts for almost 52% of total taxable transactions. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, sales tax and use tax combined represented $22 million, representing almost 35% of the core General Fund revenues.
|
|
Note 2 - In 1988, voters approved Measure A, a half-cent sales tax administered by the Riverside County Transportation Commission. Funds are provided from the county to these three districts: Western Riverside County, the Coachella Valley, and Palo Verde, in proportion to what they contribute. In 2002, Riverside County voters extended Measure A through 2039 to assist City and County jurisdictions (e.g., Cathedral City) in funding transportation and road improvements.
