Sales Tax Is Now Higher In Culver City

CULVER CITY, CA – New sales tax rules in Culver City and 50 other cities in California are now in effect as of Monday, April 1. Sales tax in Culver City jumped from 10 percent to 10.25 percent.

Most of the increases range from 0.5 percent to 1 percent, but Culver City only hiked up 0.25 percent. Culver City's sales tax is now three percent over the state of California's minimum sales tax, which is 7.25 percent, according to the San Francisco Gate.

California now also requires out-of-state retailers to collect sales tax (which yes, includes Amazon), the news website said. The move was made by lawmakers to help brick-and-mortar businesses who have lost sales to their online counterparts, SF Gate reported.
