About Cal-Tax

Our Mission

Founded in 1926, the California Taxpayers' Association is the state's largest and oldest organization representing taxpayers. Established as a nonpartisan, non-profit research and advocacy entity, Cal-Tax is a business-oriented association with a dual mission to guard against unnecessary taxation to promote government efficiency.

Cal-Tax conducts research and advocacy on significant tax and spending issues in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government. Cal-Tax is involved in a variety of activities that impact California taxpayers, including legislative advocacy, regulatory and legal developments, research, media outreach and public education.

Cal-Tax focuses on legislative, tax agency, and local government tax policy deliberations, and we work with Cal-Tax members and industry representatives to combat proposed changes that would increase the cost of doing business in California, while also supporting any changes that would have a positive impact on California taxpayers.
