GROSS RECEIPTS TAX BY THE
SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORTS COMMISSION
WHEREAS, the San Francisco Airports Commission propose a
7.5% gross receipts tax of off -airport car rental companies; and
WHEREAS, the San Francisco Airports Commission is attempting
to tax businesses outside of its legal jurisdiction by taxing
businesses operating in cities in the County of San Mateo; and
WHEREAS, 15% of the revenue generated from this proposed
tax would go to the general fund of the City and County of San
Francisco, not for maintenance and operations of the Airport; and
WHEREAS, there are serious questions as to the legality of
the proposed tax under the provisions of the California
Constitution, Article XIII A and Article XIII B and is currently
an issue being considered by California Appellate Courts; and
WHEREAS, off -airport car rental companies are already paying
a fair and reasonable charge for access to the airport and usage
of airport facilities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Burlingame

proposed 7.5% gross receipts tax on off -airport car rental
companies.
