Reporting the Regional Transit Authority (RTA) tax has historically been a significant source of reporting errors.  To reduce these errors, the Department is changing the way RTA tax is reported on the excise tax return. 

Starting January 1, 2008, the RTA tax will now be included in the local rate for locations within the RTA boundary.  For those locations that are partially within the RTA boundary, new location codes have been created to use for the areas that are outside the RTA boundaries.

More information about this change, including the new location codes, are provided in the Local Sales and Use Tax Rates and Changes Flyer. 

If you have questions please e-mail us or call the Department at 1-800-647-7706.
