The Department of General Services approved the agreements for the preparation and administration
of the City of La Quinta transactions and use tax. Copies of the fully executed agreements are
enclosed for your records. The City's ordinance sets the tax rate at 1.00 percent (0.010) and
becomes operative on April 1, 2017.
Payments will be transmitted each month. Estimated monthly advance payments for the three
months of each quarter will be made, followed by a final cleanup payment for the actual balance of
the tax collected, less administrative fees as provided in the Agreement for State Administration of
City Transactions and Use Taxes.
The first monthly advance payment to the City is scheduled for June 23, 2017, followed by
successive monthly advance payments in July and August 2017. The final (cleanup) payment for the
difference between the monthly estimated advance payments and the actual amount of tax reported
on sales and use tax returns for the period April 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017 will be made in
September 2017. This cycle of payments will be repeated every three months.
You may view your current statement of payment on the Board's website at
http://www.boe.ca.gov/sutax/localdist.htm. From this screen, scroll down to "Local Jurisdictions".
Choose the link titled "Local Tax Statement of Distributions" to open the Local Tax Statement
Inquiry Page.
Click the indicator opposite "District Add -on Code (3 Digits)", and enter your 3-digit code (520) in
the box opposite "Jurisdiction Code". Click on "Send Request", and your statement will be
displayed. For your convenience, the Local Tax Statements page also contains a link to the Local
Tax Allocation Calendar, which is the schedule of payment dates.
