CHAPTER 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS AND DEFINITIONS (7251-7253) (8849)(1-click HTML)
CHAPTER 2. IMPOSITION OF TAX (7261-7269) (8854)(1-click HTML)
7262. The use tax portion of any transactions and use tax ordinance adopted under this part shall impose a complementary tax upon the storage, use, or other consumption in the district of tangible personal property purchased from any retailer for storage, use, or other consumption in the district. The tax shall be at a rate of one-quarter of 1 percent, or a multiple thereof, of the sales price of the property whose storage, use, or other consumption is subject to the tax, and the ordinance shall include provisions in substance as follows: (8865)
(a) Provisions identical to those contained in Part 1 (commencing with Section 6001), insofar as they relate to use taxes and are not inconsistent with this part, except that the name of the district as the taxing agency shall be substituted for that of the state. The name of the district shall be substituted for the word "state" in the phrase "retailer engaged in business in this state" in Section 6203 and in the definition of that phrase. (8866)
The following additional provisions shall be included: (8867)
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), a retailer engaged in business in the district shall not be required to collect use tax from the purchaser of tangible personal property, unless the retailer ships or delivers the property into the district or participates within the district in making the sale of the property, including, but not limited to, soliciting or receiving the order, either directly or indirectly, at a place of business of the retailer in the district or through any representative, agent, canvasser, solicitor, subsidiary, or person in the district under the authority of the retailer. (8868)
(2) "A retailer engaged in business in the district" shall also include any retailer of any of the following: vehicles subject to registration pursuant to Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 4000) of Division 3 of the Vehicle Code, aircraft licensed in compliance with Section 21411 of the Public Utilities Code, or undocumented vessels registered under Division 3.5 (commencing with Section 9840) of the Vehicle Code. That retailer shall be required to collect use tax from any purchaser who registers or licenses the vehicle, vessel, or aircraft at an address in the district. (8869)
(b) A provision that all amendments to the provisions of Part 1 (commencing with Section 6001) relating to the use tax and not inconsistent with this part shall automatically become a part of the ordinance. However, no amendment shall operate so as to affect the rate of tax imposed by the district's board. (8870)
(c) A provision that the amount subject to tax shall not include the amount of any sales tax or use tax imposed by the State of California or by any city, city and county, or county pursuant to the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law (Part 1.5 (commencing with Section 7200)) or the amount of any state-administered transactions or use tax. (8871)
(d) A provision that any person subject to a use tax under an ordinance adopted pursuant to this part shall be entitled to credit against that tax or any transactions tax, or to reimbursement for a transactions tax, paid to a district or retailer in a district imposing a transactions and use tax pursuant to this part. (8872)
(e) A provision that, in addition to the exemptions provided in Sections 6366 and 6366.1, the storage, use, or other consumption of tangible personal property, other than fuel or petroleum products, purchased by operators of aircraft, and used or consumed by the operators directly and exclusively in the use of the aircraft as common carriers of persons or property for hire or compensation under a certificate of public convenience and necessity issued pursuant to the laws of this state, the United States, or any foreign government, is exempt from the use tax. (8873)
(f) A provision that the storage, use, or other consumption in the district of tangible personal property is exempt from the tax if the purchaser is obligated to purchase the property for a fixed price pursuant to a contract entered into prior to the operative date of the ordinance. The possession of, or the exercise of any right or power over, tangible personal property under a lease which is a continuing purchase of the property is exempt from tax for any period of time for which the lessee is obligated to lease the property for an amount fixed by a lease entered into prior to the operative date of the ordinance. For purposes of this subdivision, the storage, use, or other consumption of, or possession of, or exercise of any right or power over, tangible personal property shall be deemed not to be obligated pursuant to a contract or lease for any period of time for which any party to the contract or lease has the unconditional right to terminate the contract or lease upon notice, whether or not the right is exercised. (8874)
7262.2. The transactions and use tax ordinance of a district adopted pursuant to this part, shall be deemed to adopt by reference the provisions of Sections 7261 and 7262, as now in effect or as later amended, which are required to be included in the ordinance, regardless of whether or not the ordinance was adopted or amended prior to or after the effective date of this section. (8875)
7262.3. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority may adopt an ordinance imposing a transactions and use tax at a rate of 0.125 percent, provided that all other provisions of this part and Article 9 (commencing with Section 100250) of Chapter 5 of Part 12 of the Public Utilities Code are complied with by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority. (8876)
7263. For the purposes of a transactions tax imposed by an ordinance adopted pursuant to this part, all retail transactions are consummated at the place of business of the retailer unless the tangible personal property sold is delivered by the retailer or his agent to an out-of-state destination or to a common carrier for delivery to an out-of-state destination. The gross receipts from such sales shall include delivery charges, when such charges are subject to the state sales and use tax, regardless of the place to which delivery is made. In the event a retailer has no permanent place of business in the state or has more than one place of business, the place or places at which the retail sales are consummated for the purpose of a transactions tax imposed by an ordinance adopted pursuant to this part shall be determined under rules and regulations to be prescribed and adopted by the board. (8877)
7265. No ordinance adopted pursuant to this part shall be operative on other than the first day of a calendar quarter, or prior to the first day of the first calendar quarter, commencing more than 110 days after the adoption of the ordinance. (8878)
7267. (a) Except as provided in Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 7275), there shall be no recovery from the state for the imposition of any unconstitutional or otherwise invalid tax that is levied in conformity with this part. (8879)
(b) If a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that a district transactions and use tax is unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, the district, the county, or the city, as the case may be, shall transfer to the board the revenues derived from the unconstitutional or invalid transactions and use taxes necessary to reimburse claimants for the unconstitutional or invalid transactions and use taxes paid, including interest allowed under Section 6907. The board shall deposit these revenues in a segregated impound account in the Retail Sales Tax Fund, as described in Section 7275, and shall administer any refunds necessitated by the court's decision in accordance with the guidelines set forth in Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 7275) to the extent feasible and practical. (8880)
(c) After the refund process described in subdivision (b) is completed, any revenue from an unconstitutional or otherwise invalid tax described in subdivision (a) that is paid to the board shall be transmitted by the board to the district or its successor in accordance with Section 7271. However, unless the ordinance specifies otherwise, if at the time the board is making those transmittals the district that imposed the tax has no successor, or has disbanded, dissolved, or is otherwise no longer functioning, the board shall transmit those revenues in the following manner: (8881)
(1) If the tax levied by the district was imposed on a countywide basis, the revenues shall be transmitted to the county's general fund. (8882)
(2) If the tax levied by the district was imposed on a citywide basis, the revenues shall be transmitted to the city's general fund. (8883)
(3) If the tax levied by the district was imposed on a basis other than in paragraph (1) or (2), the revenues shall be transmitted to the general fund of each taxing jurisdiction located wholly within the district, based on each taxing jurisdiction's proportionate share of revenue from taxes imposed pursuant to the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law allocated during the prior calendar year. (8884)
(d) The district, or any entity that participated in the formation of the district, shall reimburse the board for and hold the board harmless from any and all costs, losses, or refunds of any kind whatsoever, including preparatory costs incurred prior to implementation of the tax. (8885)
(e) In the case of any claim for refund of the transactions and use tax imposed by the San Francisco Educational Financing Authority, which was determined to be unconstitutional by the court in Hoogasian Flowers, Inc. v. State Bd. of Equalization, 23 Cal. App. 4th 1264, payment of any of those claims for refund shall be made from the revenues derived from the unconstitutional transactions and use tax collected by and in the possession of the board. When those funds and any other revenues derived from the unconstitutional tax still in the possession of the San Francisco Educational Financing Authority, the City and County of San Francisco, the San Francisco Unified School District, or the San Francisco Community College District are exhausted, any remaining payments of those claims for refund shall be paid from funds of the San Francisco Unified School District and the San Francisco Community College District which benefited from the illegal tax. The remaining payments shall be based on the method by which the San Francisco Educational Financing Authority distributed the proceeds of the tax to the San Francisco Unified School District and the San Francisco Community College District. (8886)
7269. The board may redistribute tax, penalty, or interest distributed to a district other than the district entitled thereto, but such redistribution shall not be made as to amounts originally distributed earlier than two quarterly periods prior to the quarterly period in which the board obtains knowledge of the improper distribution. (8887)
CHAPTER 3. ADMINISTRATION (7270-7274) (8888)(1-click HTML)
7270. (a) Prior to the operative date of any ordinance imposing a transactions and use tax pursuant to this part, the district shall contract with the board to perform all functions incident to the administration and operation of the ordinance. If the district has not contracted with the board prior to the operative date of its ordinance, it shall nevertheless so contract and, in that case, the operative date shall be the first day of the first calendar quarter following the execution of the contract. (8889)
(b) The contract shall contain a provision that the district shall reimburse the board for and hold the board harmless from any and all costs, losses, or refunds of any kind whatsoever. (8890)
(c) The contract shall also contain a provision that, in the event that a legal action is commenced challenging the validity of the tax in its entirety, as opposed to its application to an individual taxpayer, the district shall place the tax proceeds into an interest-bearing escrow account until the legality of the tax is finally resolved by a final and nonappealable decision rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction. That provision shall be enforceable by any interested person in a proceeding for a writ of mandate. (8891)
(d) The district shall be entitled to indemnity for any and all costs, losses, or refunds from any entity, except the state, that participated in the imposition of the tax. For the purposes of this part, "participated" means any involvement in procuring the legislation that authorized the tax, or in enacting or administering the ordinance imposing the tax. Any organization that is a member of the legislative body of the district imposing the tax has participated in the imposition of the tax within the meaning of this section. (8892)
7270.5. Any action or proceeding filed on the basis that a tax ordinance provided for in this part or Part 1.7 (commencing with Section 7280) or the issuance of any bonds thereunder or any of the proceedings in relation thereto is contested, questioned, or denied on the basis that the tax ordinance is unconstitutional or otherwise invalid and filed for the sole purpose of contesting the validity of the district transactions and use tax, shall be commenced pursuant to Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 860) of Title 10 of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The state shall not be made a party to the action or proceeding. That action shall not be filed more than 60 days after the approval of the enabling ordinance by the voters unless the authorizing legislation specifies a longer period. If no action is filed within that period, the tax, the bonds, and all proceedings in relation thereto, including the adoption and approval of the ordinance, shall be held to be valid and in every respect legal and uncontestable. (8893)
7271. All transactions and use taxes collected by the board pursuant to contract with the district shall be transmitted by the board to the district periodically as promptly as feasible. The transmittals shall be made at least twice in each calendar quarter. (8894)
7271.1. (a) For purposes of this section: (8895)
(1) "Quarterly taxes" means the total amount of transactions and use taxes transmitted by the board to a district for a calendar quarter. (8896)
(2) "Refund" means the amount of transactions and use taxes deducted by the board from a district's quarterly taxes in order to pay the district's share of a transactions and use tax refund due to one taxpayer. (8897)
(3) "Offset portion" means that portion of the refund which exceeds the greater of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) or 20 percent of the district's quarterly taxes. (8898)
(b) Except as provided in subdivision (c), if the board has deducted a refund from a district's quarterly taxes which includes an offset portion, then the following provisions apply: (8899)
(1) Within three months after the board has deducted an offset portion, the district may request the board to transmit the offset portion to the district. (8900)
(2) As promptly as feasible after the board receives the district' s request, the board shall transmit to the district the offset portion as part of the board's periodic transmittal of transactions and use taxes. (8901)
(3) The board shall thereafter deduct a pro rata share of the offset portion from future transmittals of transactions and use taxes to the district over a period to be determined by the board, but not less than two calendar quarters and not more than eight calendar quarters, until the entire amount of the offset portion has been deducted. (8902)
(c) The board shall not transmit the offset portion of the refund to the district if that transmittal would reduce or delay either the board's payment of the refund to the taxpayer or the board's periodic transmittals of transactions and use taxes to other districts. (8903)
7272. The district shall pay to the board its costs of preparation to administer and operate the transactions and use taxes ordinance. The district shall pay such costs monthly as incurred and billed by the board. Such costs include all preparatory costs, including costs of developing procedures, programming for data processing, developing and adopting appropriate regulations, designing and printing of forms, developing instructions for the board's staff and for taxpayers, and other necessary preparatory costs which shall include the board's direct and indirect costs as specified by Section 11256 of the Government Code. Any disputes as to the amount of preparatory costs incurred shall be resolved by the Director of Finance, and his or her decision shall be final. The maximum amount of all preparatory costs to be paid by the district shall not, in any event, exceed one hundred seventy-five thousand dollars ($175,000). (8904)
7273. In addition to the amounts otherwise provided for preparatory costs, the board shall charge each district an amount for the board' s services in administering the transactions and use tax determined by the board, with the concurrence of the Department of Finance, as follows: (8905)
(a) Beginning with the 2006-07 fiscal year, the amount charged all districts shall be based on the methodology described in Alternative 4C of the November 2004 report by the State Board of Equalization entitled "Response to the Supplemental Report of the 2004 Budget Act." The amount charged each district shall be based upon the district's proportional share of the revenue after weighting the revenue to equalize the differences in district tax rates. (8906)
(1) The amount charged each district may be adjusted in the current fiscal year to reflect the difference between the board's budgeted costs and any significant revised estimate of costs. Any adjustment shall be subject to budgetary controls included in the Budget Act. Prior to any adjustment, the Department of Finance shall notify the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee not later than 30 days prior to the effective date of the adjustment. (8907)
(2) The amount charged each district shall be adjusted to reflect the difference between the board's recovered costs and the actual costs incurred by the board during the fiscal year two years prior. (8908)
(b) The board shall, by June 1 of each year, notify districts of the amount that it anticipates will be assessed for the next fiscal year. The districts shall be notified of the actual amounts that will be assessed within 30 days after enactment of the Budget Act for that fiscal year. (8909)
(c) The amount charged a district that becomes operative during the fiscal year shall be estimated for that fiscal year based on weighted revenue. (8910)
(d) The amounts determined by subdivision (a) shall be deducted in equal amounts from the quarterly allocation of taxes collected by the board for a given district. (8911)
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, for the 2008-09 fiscal year to the 2014-15 fiscal year, inclusive, the amounts determined by subdivision (a) shall not include any revenues collected pursuant to Sections 6051.7 and 6201.7. (8912)
7273.2. The board shall annually prepare a report showing the amount of both reimbursed and unreimbursed costs incurred by it in administering transactions and use taxes imposed by districts pursuant to this part. (8913)
7274. The board shall make available to all licensed vehicle, vessel, and aircraft dealers who hold seller's permits in this state information concerning the cities and counties located within districts which impose transactions and use tax ordinances and the applicable tax rates in those cities and counties. (8914)
CHAPTER 4. REFUNDS OF UNCONSTITUTIONAL TAXES (7275-7279.6) (8915)(1-click HTML)
7275. (a) Where a tax levied in a county in conformity with Part 1.6 (commencing with Section 7251) has been determined to be unconstitutional in a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction and the revenues derived from that unconstitutional tax are paid to the board and held in an impound account, the board shall administer refunds and reimbursements of those illegally collected taxes in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. (8916)
(b) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, on and after the effective date of the act adding this chapter, the procedures for refund or reimbursement of unconstitutional taxes contained in this chapter constitute the sole remedies for refund or reimbursement of illegal taxes as described in subdivision (a). (8917)
(2) Claims for refund of illegally collected taxes as described in subdivision (a) that were filed prior to the effective date of the act adding this chapter that have not been paid before that date shall be processed and paid to purchasers in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, regardless of whether the purchaser or the retailer filed the claim. Nothing in the act adding this chapter shall be construed to require refiling of those previously filed claims for refund. (8918)
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6902, the period of limitations specified in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 7277 shall apply to any claims for refund that are payable from any revenues paid to the board and held in an impound account which are derived from the unconstitutional tax. (8919)
(d) No later than 10 days from the date the decision determining the contested tax to be unconstitutional is final and nonappealable, the court shall order the entity that levied the unconstitutional tax to pay the impounded revenues to the board which shall immediately deposit them in a segregated impound account in the Retail Sales Tax Fund. The moneys so deposited, together with any interest thereon, shall be used as follows: (8920)
(1) To satisfy in full all valid claims for refund filed prior to the effective date of the act adding this chapter, in amounts as verified by audit of the records of the board. (8921)
(2) To fund a reserve account, in an amount to be determined by the board, with the approval of the Department of Finance, to fund refund and reimbursement of moneys from illegally collected taxes as described in subdivision (a), liability for which arises out of audit assessments occurring after the date of the act adding this chapter. (8922)
(A) Moneys derived from the unconstitutional tax described in subdivision (a) received by the board after the date the board receives the impounded revenues as provided in subdivision (d) shall be deposited in the reserve account provided by this subdivision. (8923)
(B) This reserve account shall be maintained for 10 years from the date the board deposits the revenues in the segregated account in the Retail Sales Tax Fund provided by this subdivision. (8924)
(i) Any amount deposited in the reserve account shall be used to pay other refunds or reimbursements to taxpayers within 12 months of deposit. Amounts not used for refunds or reimbursements within 12 months of deposit shall be transferred to the county in which the unconstitutional tax was levied for deposit in that county's general fund. (8925)
(ii) Upon termination of the 10-year period, any moneys remaining in this segregated account shall be transferred to the county in which the unconstitutional tax was levied for deposit in that county' s general fund. (8926)
(3) To satisfy valid claims for refund filed after the effective date of the act adding this chapter as described in Section 7277. (8927)
(4) To reimburse the board's actual and reasonable costs of administering the refunds and reimbursements provided in this chapter, as approved by the Department of Finance. (8928)
(5) To reimburse losses resulting from the tax credit provided by Section 7276. In reimbursing those losses, the board may use its best estimates, based on historical allocation information, as to the amount of those losses. Any entity receiving the impounded moneys rather than the taxes being credited shall suffer no impairment of revenues and the timing and receipt as well as the amount of revenues shall not be adversely affected by the credit. Any security arrangement that the board has with any entity receiving impounded moneys, including, but not limited to, provisions requiring the transfer of revenues to a bond trustee, shall remain in full force and effect during the period of the credit, and any pledge of tax revenues shall apply with equal force and effect to the impounded moneys distributed to those entities by the board in lieu of the credited tax revenues, without any further action required by the entity of the board. (8929)
(e) Any impounded moneys subject to refund or reimbursement pursuant to this chapter that are not used for that purpose or not deposited in the reserve account described in subdivision (d) shall be transmitted to the county in which the unconstitutional tax was levied for deposit in that county's general fund. (8930)
(f) For the purposes of bringing an action against the board for recovery of the whole or any part of the amount claimed as an overpayment of unconstitutional taxes as described in subdivision (a), the six-month period provided in Section 6934 shall not commence until the one-year claim period provided by Section 7277 has expired pursuant to the terms of this chapter. Suits for refund shall be brought in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 (commencing with Section 6931) of Chapter 7 of Part 1. (8931)
7276. Any taxpayers located in the jurisdiction in which an unconstitutional tax as described in subdivision (a) of Section 7275 was levied may claim a credit against their total amount of state and county sales or use tax as follows: (8932)
(a) An eligible taxpayer shall report sales and use taxes at the rates lawfully in effect in the county but may claim a credit against the total amount of state and local taxes, under rules to be promulgated by the board, in the amount of 0.75 percent. For the purpose of this section, "eligible taxpayer" means any person who resides in, or whose place of business is located in, the county in which the unconstitutional tax as described in subdivision (a) of Section 7275 was imposed, and who is required to report and pay sales tax under Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 6051) of Part 1 and any person required to report and pay or report and collect use tax under Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 6201) of Part 1. (8933)
(b) An eligible taxpayer who claims the credit provided in subdivision (a) shall remit to the board all reported tax moneys except those which represent the amount of the credit. Amounts reported, but not remitted under subdivision (a), shall be deemed to have been paid in full. Amounts not reported shall remain subject to assessment under Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 6451) of Part 1. The portion of those assessments representing this tax credit shall be paid from the reserve account provided by paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 7275. (8934)
(c) A taxpayer may not collect sales tax reimbursement pursuant to Section 1656.1 of the Civil Code nor use tax in an amount in excess of the amount required to be reported under subdivision (b) less amounts subject to credit under subdivision (a) during the period for which a credit is allowed. A receipt for use tax issued pursuant to Section 6202 in the amount of tax actually remitted to the board under subdivision (b) shall be sufficient to relieve the purchaser for further liability for the tax computed at the reporting rate. (8935)
(d) The tax credit provided by subdivision (a) may be claimed upon notice to eligible taxpayers by the board. That notice shall provide that the credit may be claimed commencing with those taxes due on the first day of the first calendar quarter commencing more than 120 days after the effective date of the act adding this section or after the court decision described in paragraph (a) of Section 7275 becomes final and unappealable, whichever occurs later. (8936)
(e) The tax credit shall continue until the board determines that the amount of impounded revenues held by the board and available to fund the revenue losses that result from the tax credit is insufficient to fund the tax credit for another full calendar quarter. Eligible taxpayers shall continue to take the credit on their returns until notified by the board that the credit is terminated. (8937)
7277. (a) In the event that any tax collected under this part is determined on the basis of Section 4 of Article XIII A of the California Constitution to be unconstitutional in a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, and the revenues derived from the unconstitutional tax are held by the board in an impound account, a person who has reimbursed a retailer for that payment of that tax or a person, other than in a capacity as a retailer, who has paid that tax may file with the board a claim for refund of the unconstitutional tax in accordance with the requirements and procedures set forth in subdivision (b). (8938)
(b) (1) The claim for refund shall be in writing, shall state the specific ground upon which the claim is founded, and shall be accompanied by proof of payment of the tax to a retailer or wholesaler, including, but not limited to, a copy of an invoice, bill of sale, or purchase contract, that indicates the following: (8939)
(A) The date upon which, and place at which, the purchase occurred. (8940)
(B) A description of the property purchased. (8941)
(C) The price paid for the property. (8942)
(D) The amount of the transactions and use tax collected with respect to the purchase, or if that amount is not separately stated, the amount of the purchase and the rate of tax from which the amount of transactions and use tax may be calculated. (8943)
(2) In the case of a purchaser that has self-reported use tax to the state, the claim for refund shall also indicate the amount of use tax paid and the period for which those taxes were remitted. (8944)
(3) (A) Only a claim for refund made with respect to a single purchase or aggregate purchases of five thousand dollars ($5,000) or more shall be eligible for refund pursuant to this section. (8945)
(B) A claim for refund shall be filed within one year of the first day of the first calendar quarter commencing after the effective date of this section or after the date upon which the court decision described in subdivision (a) becomes final and nonappealable, whichever occurs later. If that one-year period does not end on the last day of a calendar quarter, it shall end on the last day of the preceding calendar quarter or on the last day of the calendar quarter which is nearest to the date the one-year period ends. (8946)
(c) For purposes of this section, "purchaser" means any person or entity, other than in a capacity as a retailer, who purchased tangible personal property the sale or use of which was subject to the unconstitutional tax described in subdivision (a). (8947)
(d) Interest shall be paid on the refunds provided by this chapter pursuant to Section 6907. (8948)
7279. (a) The total amount of refunds paid under this chapter shall be the amount of the impounded revenues derived from the unconstitutional tax plus any interest earned on that amount that remains after valid claims for refund filed prior to the effective date of the act adding this chapter are paid and the reserve amount described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 7275 is established. (8949)
(b) The board's actual and reasonable costs of administering refunds in accordance with this section and Section 7277, as approved by the Department of Finance, may be paid from the amount that is set aside for refunds under this chapter and may be paid prior to the payment of any claim for refund. (8950)
7279.5. A copy of the provisions of this chapter may be filed by the board with the court to demonstrate that implementation of the proposed plan of reimbursement, refund, or credit in accordance with the provisions of this chapter complies with any orders of the court requiring implementation of a refund plan by the board. Judicial notice of this chapter shall be taken by the court. In rendering a decision that the provisions of this chapter comply with any order of the court, the court shall order that any attorney's fees and costs incurred by the parties for the benefit of the persons seeking a refund be paid from the revenues collected pursuant to that tax plus any interest earned thereon. (8951)
7279.6. An arbitrary and capricious action of the board in implementing the provisions of this chapter shall be reviewable by writ. (8952)
