Taxpayers group forecasts big Hayward tax cut from sales tax
Alameda County Taxpayers association says a countywide uniform sales tax would slash Hayward city tax from 1.63 to 1.04 and San Leandro from 1.39 to 0.77, with Newark and Fremont also seeing sizable rate reductions. The association bases figures on State Board of Equalization estimates and notes county revenue would trim Hayward city and county tax rates if extra revenue is used to cut property taxes.
