My car registration renewal this year is $144.00 and it should be around
$50.00. If your registration expires in October 2003 or after be sure
to complete the Refund Form and mail to DMV along with your registration
renewal fee.
Thank you. Date: 7/9/03 11:04:53 AM Pacific Daylight Time Subj: From Assemblyman John Campbell's laptop to yours: Campbell's Capitol Communication Weekly Report Car Tax Refund Form: I have told you that the Governor's tripling of the car tax is illegal and probably unconstitutional as well. I have told you that the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer's Association has filed a lawsuit (on which I am also a plaintiff) to overturn this illegal tax. But, starting with new and renewal registrations October 1st, the new tripled tax will be in effect and you have to pay it unless you want to get pulled over by the police for having expired tags. Over 10 years ago, the state imposed another unconstitutional tax on cars called the "smog impact fee." When the court eventually overturned this tax, very few taxpayers received refunds because they had not kept records and were unable to file an official claim for refund. Not this time... Go to my website at: http://www.assembly.ca.gov/campbell and you will find a car tax refund form that you can print and send in to the DMV at the time you pay your illegal tax. All the instructions are there too. If you send this in, you will be officially recording your refund request with the DMV. You will also be burying the state in these claims to let them know that you will not tolerate abuses of power (and theft of your money) like this. You will also be aiding the lawsuit as the refund claims will be used there too. Be sure to save a copy of the form and your bill and your check. It may take several years to resolve this and you want to make sure you get your money back when the time comes. It may take time, but we can beat this thing. You can help, and get your money back someday if we are successful. Spread the word. Pass the form on to everyone you know. That's all until the next report. Until then, I remain, Assemblyman John Campbell Here is link for form: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/adm/adm399.pdf |
