Case Name

Granados v. County of Los Angeles,
Case No. BC361470

Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Los Angeles

Case Summary

The lawsuit, called Granados v. County of Los Angeles, case number BC361470, was filed by a County resident, Willy Granados, who believed that the County improperly required telephone service providers to collect TUT on telephone services that were not legally taxable. Specifically, the plaintiff alleged that prior to November 4, 2008, the County’s TUT should have been collected only on local telephone service and long distance service where charges for calls varied by both time and distance. The plaintiff filed the lawsuit on behalf of himself and all other similarly situated taxpayers. The County denied and continues to deny that the TUT was improperly collected.
