During the November 2010 General Election, voters of the City of South El Monte approved Measure R, the South El Monte Services Protection Measure, which establishes a one-half of one percent (½ %) “transactions and use tax” in the City of South El Monte. The transactions and use taxes, such as the one approved by South El Monte voters are also referred to as “District Taxes” by the California State Board of Equalization; the State agency responsible for overseeing collection of such taxes statewide.
Transactions and use taxes are also referred to as “add-on” sales taxes in that they are added on to the general Bradley-Burns sales and use tax applied statewide. South El Monte’s transaction and use tax must be charged on all tangible personal property that is delivered or placed into use within the South El Monte city limits.
For the most up-to-date listing of the total sales tax due for a particular city; sellers and purchasers should refer to the California Board of Equalization’s posting of city and county sales tax rates.
