BILL NUMBER:S2631 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the tax law, in relation to requiring the commissioner of taxation and finance to provide for the timely payment of tax refunds to taxpayers PURPOSE: To require that Department of Taxation and Finance to provide for the payment of refunds within 30 days of the receipt of a tax return. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 171 adds a new subdivision 29 requiring the Department of Taxation and Finance to pay every taxpayer's refund within thirty days upon receipt by the Department. If the Department is unable to pay a tax refund because of a discrepancy in the taxpayers return, the Department shall provide written notice to the taxpayer of the discrepancy and when it can be expected to be resolved. Upon the failure to provide a refund or written notice, the department shall pay the taxpayer interest on the refund owed at a rate of six percent per annum. JUSTIFICATION: As the April 15 deadline approaches
for filing tax returns with the State of New York, taxpayers who overpaid their state taxes should receive their refund in a timely fashion. There have been instances that the State has been withholding refunds which rightfully belong to taxpayers. Although many New Yorkers have in fact received their tax refunds in a timely fashion by the Department, all New Yorkers who are owed a refund are entitled to it in a reasonable time frame. This legislation would require the State to act immediately to put this hard earned money back in the pockets of hard working New York taxpayers. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2006: S.3652/A.6954 - Referred to Investigations/Referred to Ways and Means. 2007: S.3658/A.7986 - Referred to Investigations/Referred to Ways and Means. 2008: S.3658/A.7986 - Referred to Investigations/Referred to Ways and Means. 2009-2010 - S.3985 - Reported to Finance FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None. EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
