§ 19590

California Revenue and Taxation Code · 2026-09 edition · updated 2026-10-03 · California

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(a) In addition to standard services that the Franchise Tax Board provides to all taxpayers and the public, the board also, upon request, provides specialized taxpayer services to individuals and entities.

(b) The provision of specialized taxpayer services imposes additional costs on the agency which are borne by all taxpayers.

(c) The full cost of administering specialized taxpayer services should be paid by the individual or entity that requests and receives the specialized taxpayer services, rather than by all taxpayers.

(d) Establishing a specialized service fee is the most efficient and convenient way to recover the full costs of administering and providing specialized taxpayer services.

(e) The amount of the specialized service fee imposed on an individual or an entity pursuant to this article shall be reasonably related to the actual costs incurred by the board to provide the specialized taxpayer service.

(f) The revenues derived from the fees imposed pursuant to this article are not the proceeds of taxes within the meaning Section 3 of Article XIII A of the California Constitution.

(Added by Stats. 2004, Ch. 226, Sec. 10. Effective August 16, 2004.)
