California Assembly approves tax on tax relief for gas
The California Assembly backed a Mills bill to remove the tax on the tax under a five percent sales tax on gasoline. It would apply sales tax to the base gas price only, saving motorists about six cents per gallon and about 43 million dollars annually, sending the measure to the governor after a 61 to 1 vote. The law began last month, but questions remain whether taxes should be included in pump price or added later.
