Last week Gavin Newsom’s Administration released a plan to impose a MILEAGE TAX on all California drivers! And this week, CA Democrats are taking up 5 additional tax hikes in the state legislature. Details on these costly and unfair tax hikes are below –

PROPERTY TAX (9 bills): Democrats have introduced nine separate bills that would increase your property tax in some way – with the worst being a costly property transfer tax that would give state and local government 5% of the value of every home sold – on top of the capital gains tax! Worse, Democrats are working with labor union bosses to put a repeal of Prop 13 on the ballot in 2026.

PAYROLL TAX (Newsom Annual Budget): Newsom has included a job-killing hike in the payroll tax – costing struggling small businesses $1 billion more per year in payroll costs. That means fewer jobs in our state.

VACANCY TAX (SB 789): After forcing businesses to close with excessive taxes and regulations, Democrats now want to impose a tax on vacant offices and retail stores that used to house all the businesses they destroyed. Talk about adding insult to injury!

SOCIAL MEDIA TAX (AB 796): This week Democrats will vote on a bill to impose a tax on the social media platforms you currently get to use for free. Expect that tax to be passed on to users of these platforms.

INCOME TAX (AB 1428): California already has the highest income taxes of any state – but this bill would increase it to a whopping 13.8%.

MILEAGE TAX (AB 1421): Newsom proposes to track every driver’s mileage and charge them 6-9 cents per mile they drive. That is the equivalent of an 80-cent-per-gallon hike in the gas tax. The typical California driver will be forced to pay $900-1200 a year in higher taxes just to drive on poorly maintained freeways they already paid for with the original gas and sales taxes!
