Cal. Business and Professions Code § 18832

Every person who charges and receives a fee for exhibiting a simultaneous telecast of any live, current, or spontaneous contest or wrestling exhibition on a closed-circuit telecast viewed within this state shall, within 72 hours after such event, furnish to the commission, a written report under penalty of perjury on a form which shall be provided by the commission showing the number of tickets or subscriptions where an extra or additional fee is charged for the viewing, which were issued or sold, and the gross receipts therefor without any deductions whatsoever. The person shall also, at the same time, pay to the commission a 5 percent tax, exclusive of federal taxes thereon, of the amount paid for admission or subscription telecast, as defined in Section 18830, to the showing or viewing of the contest or wrestling exhibition. In no event, however, shall the tax be less than fifty dollars ($50). The tax shall apply uniformly to all persons subject to the tax. The tax on admission shall apply to the amount actually paid for admission and not the regular established price. No tax is due in the case of a person admitted free of charge.
