The Franchise Tax Board (FTB) is responsible for collecting specified tax revenue, and operating other programs as defined by statute; serving the public by continually improving the quality of its products and services; and performing in a manner warranting the highest degree of public confidence in its integrity, efficiency, and fairness.

Effective July 1, 2013, the Governor's Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 2012 creates the Government Operations Agency and, as part of the plan, moves the Franchise Tax Board (previously budgeted within State and Consumer Services Agency under Organization Code 1730) to this new Agency (Government Operations).
