California law requires taxes be paid on in-state purchases, and also requires taxes be paid on items purchased out-of-state for use inside California. Tax collected by the retailer in California is called sales tax, and the retailer is responsible for reporting and filing a quarterly tax return with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). When an out-of-state or online retailer doesn't collect the tax for an item delivered to California, the purchaser may owe "use tax," which is a tax on the use, storage, or consumption of personal property in California. Taxpayers can report and pay their use tax on their annual California income tax returns; whereas, registered sellers report their use tax on their quarterly sales and use tax returns.

-
Riverside County Use Tax (Measure A) Tax (Note 2) 0.5000%
-
Transaction and Use Tax (Measures H & W) (Note 1) 1.5000%
|
Note 1 - Sales tax (1%) and transaction/use tax (1.5%) represent the City of Cathedral City's single largest revenue source. Of the nine industry categories, the automotive category (dealers and supplies) generally accounts for almost 52% of total taxable transactions. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, sales tax and use tax combined represented $22 million, representing almost 35% of the core General Fund revenues.
|
|
Note 2 - In 1988, voters approved Measure A, a half-cent sales tax administered by the Riverside County Transportation Commission. Funds are provided from the county to these three districts: Western Riverside County, the Coachella Valley, and Palo Verde, in proportion to what they contribute. In 2002, Riverside County voters extended Measure A through 2039 to assist City and County jurisdictions (e.g., Cathedral City) in funding transportation and road improvements.
