Are You Out of
Compliance?
If you aren’t displaying a required employment notices poster
that includes the $9.00 state minimum wage effective July 1,
2014, you’re not in compliance. Mandatory changes to required Workers’ Compensation and Paid
Family Leave pamphlets also took effect on that date. By law, employers must post and hand out the most current employment notices, even if you only have one employee in California. Not
informing employees of their rights in the workplace can result in costly
lawsuits and fines.

EDC Chamber Annual
Charity Golf Tournament
Wednesday, September 17th
Avast ye scoundrels! Expect some fun new changes this year including a
pirate theme. We’re returning to Apple Mountain Golf Resort and we’re
keeping the registration fees the same as last year at $135, but we’re starting play earlier following the included breakfast and beverages (Captain
Barbosa Mimosa anyone?). The day won’t turn into night and you’ll be
home before the tide comes in!
As always we’re looking for sponsors, players and raffle prizes.
New State Sales
Tax Exemption
Potential investors have a new
reason to give California a careful
look. Beginning July 1, manufacturers and certain research and development operations can enjoy a generous exclusion from the state sales
tax for purchasing or leasing new
equipment.
Enacted in 2013 as part of the
deal that phased out the long-time
enterprise zone program, the new
incentive will give manufacturers
and scientific research and development a total exclusion from the
state portion of the sales and use
tax – which means an instant savings of 4.19 percentage points. The
exclusion applies to the first $200
million in annual equipment purchases by each taxpayer.
Previously, this exemption was
available only to businesses that
located in enterprise zones. Now,
it’s a statewide incentive.
California has the eighth-highest
combined average state/local sales
tax rate in the country, at 8.42%,
and the second-highest in the West,
which means a manufacturer’s or
researcher’s sales tax burden would
be cut almost in half.
Local rates may vary, depending
on local add-ons, but some county
rates, such as Los Angeles, Alameda
and San Mateo, are as high as 9%,
while Santa Clara and San Francisco
are 8.75%. No matter the county,
this new incentive will improve
California’s competitiveness and tax
climate.
