The proposed tax hike ballot measure would go on next year’s November ballot, if the city council approves it.
The San Diego County Taxpayers Association says the proposed sales surcharge could generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.SAN DIEGO — San Diego city leaders are being asked to consider putting a sales tax hike on the ballot next year.
The proposed ballot measure would go on next year’s November ballot, if the city council approves it. Gin says if voters approve the sales tax ballot measure, everyone will notice everyday products get more expensive. The current sales tax in San Diego is 7.75%, which is lower than other cities like Oceanside, El Cajon, and Vista where the rate is 8.25%.“I think the city feels that there is a need to generate more revenue to improve some of the services that the city residents are using. In addition to street repair other proposed uses would be for public safety, more police and fire and also then in terms of spending – parks," continued Gin.
