§ 100252 Vta Tax Contract Authority

This law lets the VTA hire the State Board of Equalization to help get a new transaction and use tax rule ready, and says who pays for it and how cost fights are settled.

Key Takeaways

  • •The VTA may contract with the State Board of Equalization for tax‑ordinance prep work.
  • •The contract covers costs for services described in Section 7272, up to the date the ordinance is adopted.
  • •Any cost disputes are handled the same way Section 7272 says they should be.

Example

The VTA wants to start a new local sales tax and asks the State Board of Equalization to do the paperwork and planning.

The VTA can sign a contract with the Board, pay for the work done before the tax rule is officially adopted, and if they later argue about how much was owed, they settle the argument the same way the law already tells them to.
