Section 42010.7 Of Chapter 2. The Prepaid Mobile Telephony Services Surcharge From California Revenue And Taxation Code >> Division 2. >> Part 21. >> Chapter 2.
42010.7
. (a) Commencing January 1, 2017, a seller, other than a
direct seller, with de minimis sales of prepaid mobile telephony
services of less than fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) during the
previous calendar year is not required to collect the prepaid MTS
surcharge pursuant to Section 42010. The Department of Finance shall
annually review and adjust that de minimis sales threshold as
necessary to minimize program administration costs and maintain
revenues to support program administration, enforcement, and Public
Utilities Commission public purpose programs and rulemaking
activities. Any adjustment of the de minimis sales threshold shall
become operative on January 1 of the following calendar year. Nothing
in this section prevents a seller from collecting and remitting the
surcharge on a voluntary basis even if the seller meets the de
minimis sales threshold.
(b) For purposes of this section, the de minimis sales threshold
shall be based on the aggregate of all sales of prepaid mobile
telephone services subject to the local charges at all retail
locations operated by the seller and not the individual sales at each
retail location operated by the seller.
