State/Local Total Statewide Base Sales and Use Tax Rate on January 1, 2013

California’s sales tax on Jan. 1 goes from 7.25 percent to 7.5 percent.

The passage of Proposition 30 on Nov. 6 is why it is going up. This increase is set to expire Dec. 31, 2016.

Sales tax in some locations will be 10 percent because voters in cities and counties can choose to levy a higher local rate.

In South Lake Tahoe, the rate will be 8 percent. The 0.5 percent additional tax has been in place since 2004. It goes to the city’s general fund.
