The California sales tax system is referred to as a ‘sales and use tax’ system which covers both sales tax and ‘use tax’. The County Pool revenues largely reflect use tax from qualifying transactions that do not involve a California based point of sale. Businesses report their use tax quarterly based on business activity conducted throughout the county. The County Pool is distributed each quarter based upon a formula where the jurisdiction’s quarterly percentage is based upon its total sales tax receipts for the quarter as a percentage of all sales tax receipts for all jurisdictions within the county. Thus, if local business activity (sales tax receipts) within Palo Alto increases in the quarter relative to the rest of the county, then the Palo Alto County pool percentage also will increase for the quarter compared to the rest of the county.
The total county pool is multiplied by the city’s quarterly percentage to determine the jurisdiction share each quarter.
In the third quarter of 2024, cash receipts for the overall County Pool increased by 4.1% from the same quarter in the prior year. The City’s share of the County Pool decreased to 5.9%. The City’s revenues from the County Pool decreased from $1,489,193 in 2023Q3 to $1,377,891 in 2024Q3.
