New State Budget Will Bring a 9.75% Sales Tax to LA County - LAist →
At the street level, we’ll feel it the most with the 1% sales tax increase, which will begin on April 1st. Currently, LA County has an 8.25% sales tax, but in November voters passed Measure R—the transportation tax—allowing the county to raise it to 8.75% on July 1st. Now with the additional state sales tax bump, we’ll see it at 9.75% for a few years.
Unreal. I don’t mind the extra transportation tax since I ride public transportation every weekday, and would like to see better public transit but jesus christ, an extra 1%?
