Summary
Daly City will start collecting its existing 5% utility users tax on Netflix, Disney+ and other streaming platforms, which could add $750,000 to $1 million a year to the general fund. It's not a new tax — a court case involving Disney cleared the way, and staff will send compliance notices to providers.
