HOW IS 8.25% SALES TAX BROKEN DOWN?
1% General Sales Tax
Measure M – ½ Cent
Sales Tax
(Passed in 2006 for Public Safety)
HOW SALES TAX WORKS
California has a state-mandated minimum sales tax of 7.25%.
The max amount counties, cities, and districts can increase sales tax rate is 10.25%.
A local sales tax cannot be taken away by another government entity.
Sales tax is paid by non-City residents, as well as Manteca residents.
Commuters who fuel-up at gas stations, eat from local restaurants, and shop in Manteca will help fund services for Manteca residents.

potential closures of parks and our pool.
among other impacts on staffing and services.
