Information Session - In-Person: California Department of Tax and Fee Administration

The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) administers California's sales and use, fuel, tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis taxes, as well as a variety of other taxes and fees that fund specific state programs. CDTFA administered programs collect over $90 billion annually which in turn supports local essential services such as transportation, public safety and health, libraries, schools, social services, and natural resource management programs through the distribution of tax dollars going directly to local communities.

Tax programs administered by the CDTFA are concentrated in two general areas – sales and use, and special taxes and fees. To best serve our customers, we have local offices in Cerritos, West Covina, Irvine, Riverside, and Glendale. 

Representatives will share their journey with CDTFA, minimum educational requirement, show students how to apply for a state job, and explain the benefits of working for a state agency. Using a PowerPoint presentation, students will have a visual demonstration and an opportunity to interact with professional representatives about a day in a life of a collector or an auditor. 

At CDTFA, we have a diverse workforce and culture and invest in our team members. You can become a certified public accountant or continue your education using one of our advancement programs. We provide valuable career advice through our highly-regarded mentoring program, on-the-job training, upward mobility program, and our career center. You may also learn about work-life balance with our wellness program and be recognized through our multi-level recognition program.
