RSUs are typically taxed at two points in time. At vest, your RSUs are treated as wages and get taxed as ordinary income. At sale, your RSUs are taxed as capital gains or treated as capital losses. Since RSUs are taxed at vest, it doesn't matter what the RSUs were worth when they were first granted.
For California state income tax, the amount the company is required to withhold on RSU income is simple: it's 10.23% of the RSU income.
Unlike the federal government, California makes no distinction between short-term and long-term capital gains. It taxes all capital gains as income, using the same rates and brackets as the regular state income tax.
Long-Term Capital Gains arise when you sell shares listed on a recognised stock exchange after holding them for more than 12 months. This holding period qualifies the gains as "long-term," as opposed to "short-term," which applies to shares held for 12 months or less.
