TITLE
Sales Tax Digest Summary Calendar 2023 Q1 (January 2023 – March 2023)
DISCUSSION
This report transmits information regarding the City of Palo Alto’s sales tax receipts for
the first quarter (January - March) of 2023. Further and more detailed levels of
information can be found in the attached City of Palo Alto Sales Tax Digest Summary
2023 Q1 (Attachment A).
The City’s sales tax cash receipts of $8.07 million for the first quarter (January to March 2023) is
$36,400 (0.4%) lower than the same quarter of the prior year (see Attachment A, Historical
Analysis by Calendar Quarter). When adjusted for non-period related payments, the overall
economic quarter over quarter sales tax activity (Q1 2022 to Q1 2023) in Palo Alto increased by
$0.1 million (1.5%).
For the year ending in the first quarter of 2023, sales tax cash receipts for the city increased by
8.5% from the prior year. When adjusted for non-period related payments, the overall
economic sales tax activity in Palo Alto for the year increased by 8.6%. In comparison,
statewide increased by 3.9% and the Bay Area increased by 3.7%. When adjusted for non-
period related payments, the overall economic sales tax activity ending in the first quarter of
2023 increased by 4.5% statewide and decreased by 1.9% in the Bay Area.
The first quarter includes $1.6 million of sales tax receipts from the county pool. The City’ s
share of the county pool for this quarter remains flat at 6.0% compared to the first quarter of
2022. County pools are primarily from online purchases from out-of-state companies, remote
sellers who ship merchandise to California/ County destinations, and private vehicle sales that
are not directly allocated to a jurisdiction. County pools are allocated to local jurisdictions
based on each jurisdiction’ s share of total sales taxes.

California Overview
For the year ending in first quarter of 2023, cash receipts increased 3.9% statewide, 3.7% in the Bay
Area. However, when adjusted for non‐period related payments, the overall economic sales tax activity
for the year ending in first quarter of 2023 increased by 4.5% statewide and increased 1.9% in the Bay
Area. The differential in cash and economic results was due to various cash anomalies such as late
payments and audit adjustments.
City of Palo Alto
For the year ending in the first quarter of 2023, sales tax cash receipts for the city increased by 8.5% from
the prior year. When adjusted for non‐period related payments, the overall economic sales tax activity in
Palo Alto for the year ending in first quarter of 2023 increased by 8.6%.
Sales tax cash receipts decreased by 0.4% in California from Q1 2022 to Q1 2023, matching the statewide
decline of 0.5%. Overall, the decline in sales tax cash receipts in California in Q1 2023 was due to a
combination of factors, including bad weather, higher interest rates, and a slowing in consumer demand.
This led to an overall decrease in consumer spending. Inflation declined by 1.6% from an average of 8.0%
in Q1 2022 to 6.4% in Q1 2023. Interest rates increases made financing larger purchases, such as new
autos, more expensive. According to Experian, the average interest rate for an auto loan in California for
the year ended 2023Q1 was 5.41%, up from 4.73% in the year ended 2022Q1. This represents a 14.2%
increase in the average interest rate.
The Transportation Category in Palo Alto saw the largest decline in taxable sales on an economic basis
over the past year, falling by 13.0%. This was driven by a 19.4% year‐over‐year decline in taxable sales of
new autos, which make up 76.3% of the category. However, much of the decline in sales tax from new
autos was offset by increases in the Leasing segment (which appears in the B2B category). The average
price of a new car in California was $45,340 in 2023Q1, down from $46,340 in 2022Q1, a 2.16% decline.
While higher interest rates should contribute to a decline in demand for new autos, decreasing prices
should lead to an increase in demand. Also, in the current uncertain economic climate, consumers remain
cautious, especially in the face of higher prices throughout the economy. However, it should be noted
that after recent supply chain constraints and unusually high prices for new autos, there remains a large
pent up demand for new autos. After several years of turbulence in the new auto marketplace, numerous
countervailing trends remain and we have yet to reach a ‘new normal’.

Regional Overview
The chart below shows adjusted economic benchmark year amounts, which means that it shows a full
year from the first quarter of 2022 through first quarter of 2023 compared to first quarter of 2021 through
first quarter of 2022 (benchmark years are rolling annual comparisons through the current quarter). The
growth level is different between the state and Palo Alto because the sales tax from businesses in Palo
Alto were more impacted by the pandemic than those statewide and Palo Alto continues to have a longer
growth ‘tail’ to its recovery.

Unlike the chart on page one which showed a ‘benchmark year’ through first quarter of 2023, the chart above shows a comparison of one quarter only – first
quarter of 2023 to first quarter of 2022. This chart is for local ‘brick and mortar’ businesses and it excludes county pools and adjustments.
