According to the California Taxpayers Association, revenue will be much greater than beHeved possible when the new tax was authorized more than a year ago. _ Prior to January 1, the federal government collected and retained revenue from its documentary stamps. CTA ‘states that the California law has better tools for enforcement. The tax basically is at the same rate as that imposed by the federal government. Leonard J. Hooper, Sacramento County Recorder, has compiled the receipts from the tax for the first six months. I shows a statewide total of $6,633,693.86, ‘with $2,182,229.55 going to cities and $4,451,464.31 going to counties. In contrast the Internal Revenue Service reported that for the full fiscal year which ended June 30, 1967 revenue from the tax ~ for all of California, Nevada and Hawaii, was $6,359,730.90. Based upon this, the income for a full year in California was estimated at $5 to $5.5 million, Thus in six months the income is greater than the estimates indicated they would be for a full year. The new state tax should become a good guide to economic conditions if it continues be be well enforced, The revenue goes to cities and counties according to actual site of sale. The rate is 55 cents per $500 of sale value, including only new money involved. Thus a sale where a buyer assumes an old trust deed requires tax only for . the amount paid to the old buyer for his interest. The law was changed this year by the legislature so stamps need not be purchased, Instead the tax will be paid directly to county re+) . ) Real estate stamps net =~". local agencies $18,309 corders with the amount indicated on the deed or a separate piece of paper.
