Subject:Refund overpayment of Documentary Transfer Tax
RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
>
FISCAL IMPACT:
This is a request to refund $2,839.00 of over-collected funds. One of the over-payments and reimbursement of
documentary transfer tax is from fiscal year 2013-2014 for $1,232.00 and the other three are from fiscal year
2014-2015 for a total of $1,562.00.
BACKGROUND:
The County Clerk-Recorder received duplicate payments for documentary transfer tax from one customer. The other
three instances were transactions where transfer tax was collected, but were later determined to be exempt from
transfer tax.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to reimburse the parties would cause the customers to pay more than legally required for documentary transfer
tax.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
