Executive Summary This study attempts to answer the question: should California broaden its use of a consumption tax, and if so, how? In considering this question, we must also consider the ultimate purpose of a system of taxation: namely to raise sufficient revenues to support the spending goals of the state in the most efficient manner. Recent tax reform proposals in California have included a business net receipts tax (BNRT), as well as a more comprehensive sales tax. However, though the timing is right, given the increasingly global and digital nature of California’s economy, the recent 2008 recession tabled the discussion in favor of more urgent matters.

    Chapter 13 STATE-COLLECTED, LOCALLY-SHARED TAXES AND FEES A majority of the revenues municipalities use to operate comes from state-collected taxes and fees, certain portions of which are distributed to municipalities and some of which are restricted to specific uses. GROSS RECEIPTS TAXES Gross receipts tax is not a sales tax. It is a tax placed on businesses in the state for the privilege of doing business in New Mexico. It is based on the total (gross) receipts of the business. Businesses are not required by law to pass this tax on to their customers; however, by common practice, businesses do pass this tax on to the consumer. The gross receipts tax is a tax on persons engaged in business in New Mexico for the privilege of doing business in New Mexico. The tax is imposed on the gross receipts of persons who: 1. Sell property in New Mexico; Property includes real property; tangible personal property, including electricity and manufactured homes, licenses (other than the licenses of copyrights, trademarks, or patents) and franchises. 2. Perform services in New Mexico; Service includes construction activities and all construction materials that will become part of the construction project. 3. Lease or license property employed in New Mexico; 4. Grant a right to use a franchise employed in New Mexico; or 5. Sell research and development services performed outside New Mexico when the product of the service is initially used in New Mexico. The total gross receipts tax is paid to the state. The state keeps its portion and distributes the counties' and municipalities' portions to them.

The Treatment Of Foreign Income Taxes Under the California Bank and Corporation Tax Law ERIC J. COFFILL* Numerous articles have addressed the manner and circumstances under which foreign income taxes paid may be either credited against United States income tax or deducted against the gross income of a taxpayer for federal tax purposes.' However, little attention has been given to the states' treatment of foreign income taxes paid by a taxpayer subject to state taxation. This article will examine how California treats foreign income taxes paid by taxpayers who are subject to the California Bank and Cor- poration Tax Law.2 California, unlike the federal tax system, does not allow either a credit or a deduction for the payment of foreign taxes on or according to or measured by income.
