California’s income tax rates are assessed over six brackets:
- 1% on the first $6,622 of taxable income
- 2% on taxable income between $6,623 and $15,698

California's minimum combined state, county and local sales and use tax has increased to 7.25 percent (6.25 state-only portion) on Jan. 1, 2002. The rate will be higher in cities and counties with special taxing districts. Many business owners in this state believe that gift wrapping is a nontaxable service. However, unless it is food products that were sold in a nontaxable transaction, sales tax generally applies to gift-wrapping charges.

California State taxes all real properties and they shall be assessed at fair market value. Residents are advised to contact the local County Tax Assessor’s office to inquire about homestead exemptions. The property tax postponement program allows eligible homeowners (senior citizens and blind or disabled residents) to postpone payment of property taxes on their principal places of residence. To secure the postponed amount, a lien is recorded against the property. Interest is charged on the postponed taxes. The state offers a homeowner and renter an assistance program under which a once-a-year payment is allowed to qualified individuals based on part of the property taxes assessed and paid on their homes or paid indirectly as part of their rent.
4) California inheritance tax
