Of course, this was a federal thing, and I don't recall any more specifically what we were discussing at the time. Besides, we're all just guessing here... I really feel that someone in CA should probably contact an accountant, CPA, or tax attorney for a somewhat more definitive answer.

Effective March 1, 2009, the sales and use tax rate will be applied to amusement parks and sporting events. This is expected to generate additional General Fund sales tax revenue of $357 million in 2008-09.
