	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 858, Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review. Sales and use
taxes: income and corporation taxes: collection cost recovery fee.
   (1) The Sales and Use Tax Law provides that every person storing,
using, or otherwise consuming in this state tangible personal
property purchased from a retailer is liable for use tax, and must
pay the use tax to the State Board of Equalization, unless that
person has paid the use tax to a retailer registered to collect the
tax. That law requires a person selling tangible personal property
for storage, use, or other consumption in this state to register
with, and to obtain a seller's permit or certification of
registration-use tax from, the State Board of Equalization. For
taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2003, and on or before
December 31, 2009, a person not otherwise registered with the board
could make an irrevocable election to report qualified use tax, as
defined, on that person's income tax return, and the Franchise Tax
Board was required to revise the income tax returns to allow a person
to report and remit qualified use tax to it and to remit the
qualified use tax collected to the board.
   This bill would authorize an eligible person to make an
irrevocable election to report qualified use tax, as defined, on that
person's income tax return, for taxable years beginning on and after
January 1, 2010, and would require the Franchise Tax Board to allow
a person to report and remit qualified use taxes to it and to remit
the qualified use taxes collected to the board, as provided.
   (2) Existing law imposes a penalty on a taxpayer subject to the
Corporation Tax Law with an understatement of tax, as defined, in
excess of $1,000,000 in an amount equal to 20% of that
understatement, except as specified.
   This bill would, for each taxable year beginning on or after
January 1, 2010, revise those provisions to impose a penalty for
understatement of tax for each taxable year that exceeds the greater
of $1,000,000 or 20% of the tax shown on an original return or shown
on an amended return filed on or before the original or extended due
date of the return for the taxable year, as provided.
   (3) Existing law allows individual and corporate taxpayers to
utilize net operating losses and carryovers and carrybacks of those
losses for purposes of offsetting their individual and corporate tax
liabilities. Existing law, for net operating losses incurred in
taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2008, provides a
carryover period of 20 years and allows net operating losses
attributable to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2011,
to be carrybacks to each of the preceding 2 taxable years, as
provided. Existing law disallows the deduction for net operating
losses and net operating loss carryovers in the 2008 and 2009 taxable
years for a taxpayer with business income of $500,000 or more and
extends the carryover period for those net operating losses, thus
allowing the taxpayer to have the same number of years to utilize the
deduction as it would have had if the disallowance for 2008 and 2009
had not occurred.
   This bill would extend the disallowance of the net operating loss
deduction and carryovers, and the carryover extension, to the 2010
and 2011 taxable years for a taxpayer with income of $300,000 or
more. This bill would disallow net operating loss carrybacks for any
net operating losses attributable to taxable years beginning before
January 1, 2013, but would allow net operating losses attributable to
taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, to be
carrybacks to each of the preceding 2 taxable years, as provided.
This bill would, under the Corporation Tax Law, specify that the
above provisions do not apply to a taxpayer that ceased to do
business or has a final taxable year ending prior to August 28, 2008,
that sold or transferred substantially all of its assets resulting
in a gain on sale during a taxable year ending prior to August 28,
2008, for which the gain could be offset with existing net operating
loss deductions and the sale or transfer occurred pursuant to a
reorganization under federal bankruptcy provisions. The bill would
also specify that an amended tax return claiming net operating loss
deductions allowed pursuant to those provisions shall be treated as a
timely filed original return.
   (4) The Corporation Tax Law imposes taxes measured by income and,
in the case of a business with income derived from or attributable to
sources both within and without this state, apportions the income
between this state and other states and foreign countries in
accordance with a specified 4-factor formula based on the property,
payroll, and sales within and without this state, except that in the
case of an apportioning trade or business that derives more than 50%
of its gross business receipts from conducting one or more qualified
business activities, as defined, business income is apportioned in
accordance with a specified 3-factor formula. That law, for taxable
years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, allows a taxpayer to
have that income apportioned in accordance with a single sales factor
formula, except as provided, pursuant to an irrevocable annual
election, as specified. That law also provides that sales of tangible
and intangible personal property are in this state in accordance
with specified criteria.
   This bill would, for taxable years beginning or after January 1,
2011, revise provisions for determining whether sales of services and
intangibles occur in this state for purposes of taxpayers who elect
to have their business income apportioned in accordance with the
single sales factor formula, as provided, and for purposes of the
4-factor formula if the single sales factor formula election is not
allowed.
   (5) Existing law requires the payment of taxes, fees, and
surcharges that are administered by the State Board of Equalization
under the provisions of the Sales and Use Tax Law, Use Fuel Tax Law,
Private Railroad Car Tax Law, Cigarette and Tobacco Products Tax Law,
Alcoholic Beverage Tax Law, Timber Yield Tax Law, Energy Resources
Surcharge Law, Emergency Telephone Users Surcharge Act, Hazardous
Substances Tax Law, Integrated Waste Management Fee Law, Oil Spill
Response, Prevention, and Administration Fees Law, Underground
Storage Tank Maintenance Fee Law, Fee Collection Procedures Law, and
Diesel Fuel Tax Law, as prescribed.
   This bill would require the payment of a collection cost recovery
fee if a person fails to pay a tax, fee, or surcharge under the laws
stated above, and the State Board of Equalization has mailed the
person a demand notice, on or after January 1, 2011, that explains
that the failure to pay the amount due may result in collection
action, including the imposition of the collection cost recovery fee.
This bill would authorize the collection cost recovery fee to be
collected and deposited in the same manner in which the tax, fee, or
surcharge that the person failed to pay is collected and deposited.
   This bill would deposit the collection cost recovery fee in the
same manner as the revenues derived from the tax, fee, or surcharge
imposed by the laws stated above, which deposit those revenues into
various funds, some of which are continuously appropriated. Because
the bill would provide additional amounts payable from a continuously
appropriated fund, the bill would make an appropriation.
   (6) This bill would require the State Board of Equalization to
relieve a person from paying the collection cost recovery fee if that
person files a statement under penalty of perjury, setting forth the
reasonable cause for not paying the tax, fee, or surcharge, to the
State Board of Equalization. Because this bill would expand the scope
of the existing crime of perjury, it would impose a state-mandated
local program.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
   (7) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately
as an urgency statute.
   Appropriation: yes.

taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, and who operates

state within the preceding 36 months ("prior trade or business

activity in this state, the additional trade or business activity
shall only be treated as a new business if the additional trade or
business activity is classified under a different division of the

          related person's) current or prior trade or business
activities.
   (3) In any case where a taxpayer, including all related persons,
is engaged in trade or business activities wholly outside of this
state and the taxpayer first commences doing business in this state
(within the meaning of Section 23101) after December 31, 1993 (other
than by purchase or other acquisition described in paragraph (1)),
the trade or business activity shall be treated as a new business

   (i) "Biopharmaceutical activities" means those activities that use
organisms or materials derived from organisms, and their cellular,
subcellular, or molecular components, in order to provide

activities that make use of chemical compounds to produce commercial
products.
   (ii) "Other biotechnology activities" means activities consisting
of the application of recombinant DNA technology to produce
commercial products, as well as activities regarding pharmaceutical

to prevent evasion of the purposes of this section.

state within the preceding 36 months ("prior trade or business
activity"), and thereafter commences an additional trade or business
activity in this state, the additional trade or business activity
shall only be treated as a new business if the additional trade or
business activity is classified under a different division of the
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual published by the
United States Office of Management and Budget, 1987 edition, than are
any of the taxpayer's (or any related person's) current or prior
trade or business activities.

is engaged in trade or business activities wholly outside of this
state and the taxpayer first commences doing business in this state
(within the meaning of Section 23101) after December 31, 1993 (other
than by purchase or other acquisition described in paragraph (1)),
the trade or business activity shall be treated as a new business
under paragraph (2) of subdivision (e).
   (4) In any case where the legal form under which a trade or
business activity is being conducted is changed, the change in form

organisms or materials derived from organisms, and their cellular,
subcellular, or molecular components, in order to provide

organisms to make commercial products, as opposed to pharmaceutical
activities that make use of chemical compounds to produce commercial
products.

of the application of recombinant DNA technology to produce
commercial products, as well as activities regarding pharmaceutical
delivery systems designed to provide a measure of control over the
