Board of Equalization Approves Use Tax Table for 2011 

A recent law change allows taxpayers to report use tax for single nonbusiness purchases of $1,000 or less each on their 2011 FTB return using either:

- The actual amount of tax due; or
- The amount shown on a lookup table, which would indicate an estimated amount of use tax due based on the person's AGI.

The table approved provides as follows: 


Adjusted Gross Income Range

Use Tax Liability

Less than $20,000

$7

$20,000 - $39,999

$21

$40,000 - $59,999

$35

$60,000 - $79,999

$49

$80,000 - $99,999

$63

$100,000 - $149,999

$88

$150,000 - $199,999

$123

More than $199,999

Multiply AGI by 0.07% (0.0007)
