This document contains the discretionary sales surtax rates for 2009. Please check the rates for each county in which you make sales of or deliver taxable goods or services.

It is each dealer's responsibility to verify the rates for 2009 and to collect and send in the correct discretionary sales surtax on each taxable sale that is subject to surtax. Also, the amount of tax we distribute to the county where the seller is located is based on the proper completion of the surtax information on the sales tax return.
