San Francisco tax law involves the taxation of income and property acquired through personal and professional efforts. Taxes are basically a governmental charge upon property value, business transactions, licenses granting a right or income. These include federal and state income taxes, county and city taxes on real property, state and/or local sales tax based on a percentage of each retail transaction, duties on imports from foreign countries, business licenses, federal tax on the estates of persons who have died, taxes on large gifts and a state "use" tax in lieu of sales tax imposed on certain goods bought outside of the state.
The following are explanations of select subjects included in San Francisco tax law:
Income Tax
(Covered in Tax Law)
Income Tax is a tax on an individual's net income, after deductions for various expenses and payments such as charitable gifts, calculated on a formula which takes into consideration whether it is paid jointly by a married couple, the number of dependents of the taxpayers, special breaks for ages over 65, disabilities and other factors. Federal income taxes have been collected since 1913 when they were authorized by the 16th Amendment to the Constitution.
Estate Tax
(Covered in Tax Law)
Estate tax is generally a federal tax on the transfer of a deceased person's assets to his heirs and beneficiaries. Although a transfer tax, it is based on the amount in the decedent's estate (including distribution from a trust at the death) and can include insurance proceeds. Currently such federal taxation applies to the amount of an estate above $600,000, or as much as double that amount if the estate is distributed to a spouse. Some states have an estate tax, more commonly called an inheritance tax.
Child Tax Credit
(Covered in Tax Law)
The Child Tax Credit is a federal tax credit worth up to $600 per child in tax year 2002 and $1,000 in 2003. Families must have dependent children under age 17 to get it. The Child Tax Credit comes as a refund from the IRS. The Child Tax Credit is eligible to families even if they owe no income tax.
