BILL NUMBER: S5922
TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to authorizing certain
counties, cities and school districts to impose up to a four percent
rate of sales and compensating use taxes pursuant to the authority of
article 29 of such law and to authorizing certain counties to impose
such taxes at rates in excess of four percent for a two year period;
and to repeal certain provisions of such law relating thereto
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :
To permanently authorize counties and cities to impose sales and
compensating use taxes at rates up to 4% and to extend for two years,
in the usual manner, the authority of the five counties that have had
authority to impose sales and use taxes at rates in excess of 4%.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :
Section I would repeal the opening paragraph of section 1210 of the
Article 29 of the Tax Law, which currently authorizes counties, cities
and school districts to impose up to a three percent rate of tax, and
also authorizes more than 50 counties and six cities to impose
additional rates of tax in excess of three percent. These additional
rate authorities are for two-year periods, currently expiring November
30, 2009, except that one expires at the end of August and another
expires at the end of December. Section 1 would add a new opening
paragraph to authorize every county and city to impose tax at a rate
of up to four percent rate. It would also authorize the five counties
that have rates in excess of four percent to continue to impose those
rates for another two-year period, to 2011. Under the new paragraph, a
county or city could impose tax at a rate from three to four percent,
in quarter percent increments. Rockland County's current additional
5/8% and 3/8% rates, totaling 1%, would not .be continued as separate
rates expressed in eighths. Rather, Rockland would have authority
under the bill to impose the same 1% in excess of 3%, in 1/4%
increments, that other counties would have under the bill. The
special, separate distribution provisions for Rockland's current rates
would be preserved, however, in Tax Law section 1262-1, as amended by
bill section 25. Likewise, the current authority for Ontario County's
one eighth percent rate would not be retained, since the county seeks
authority for an additional 3/8% rate in Legislative Bill No.
S.1565/A.2805. Ontario's current 1/8% rate and its proposed new 3/8%
rate equal V2%, which the new opening paragraph would authorize the
county to impose. However, the special revenue disposition provisions
applicable to the county's existing 1/8% rate and the proposed new
3/8% rate would likewise be preserved in new Tax Law section 1262-x to
be added by bill section 35.
Generally, the remainder of the bill would conform other sections of
Article 29 of the Tax Law to reflect the new four percent general rate
authority, including deleting obsolete language. Tax Law section 1211
would be amended to allow a city of less than 125,000 to impose
general sales and use taxes at the request of its school district, at
a rate up to four percent. Section 1212 would be amended to allow a
school district to impose the section 1105(b) consumer utility taxes
at a rate up to four percent. The maximum rates of tax authorized by
section 1210, 1211 and 1212 have always been the same - 3% currently,
and 4% under this bill.
Tax Law sections 1210-D and 1210-E, which authorize a 1/4% rate in
excess of 3% for Erie County and a 1/4% rate in excess of 3% for
Herkimer county, would be repealed, since bill section 1 would amend
section 1210 (opening paragraph) to authorize those counties to impose
a rate up to 4%, in 1/4% increments. Portions of section 1210-D
relating to distribution of revenues from Erie county's additional
1/4% rate would be preserved in new Tax Law section 1262-t, to be
added by bill section 35.
The preemption rules in Tax Law section 1224 that establish the rights
of a county and a city in the county each to 50% of the current
combined maximum three percent rate they are authorized to impose in
the city would generally be continued with respect to the new maximum
four percent rate. See bill section 13 amending Tax Law sections
1224(a), (b), and {c} and bill section 15 adding section 1224(d),
reenacting current section 1224(11).) However, the bill would preserve
the existing rights of counties and cities that currently have the
sole right to impose an additional rate in excess of three percent to
the exclusion of the other, to the extent of the county's or city's
current rate in excess of 3%. Thus, if County A has a current right to
impose an additional 1/4% rate above 3% and that rate is not subject
to preemption by any city in the county, a city in the county could
preempt that county only as to the 1/4% between 31% and 4%. This would
mean that the city could preempt and have a 3 1/8% rate, even though a
county or city cannot directly impose tax in 1/8% increments. Because
the bill would eliminate the 1/8% rate in Ontario County, the cities
in that county would not be able to preempt the remaining 7/8% rate,
possibly resulting in city tax rates in 1/16% increments. Thus the
bill would eliminate the possibility that merchants in the county
would have to deal tax rates expressed in sixteenths of a percent,
which would make tax calculations more difficult for them and for
consumers.
More than 40 subdivisions of Tax Law section 1224 each provide that a
county or city has the sole right to impose an additional rate that is
not subject to preemption. The bill would repeal those subdivisions
and replace them with new section 1224(e), which would set out the
respective counties and cities and would preserve their rights to the
current additional rates. New section 1224(1) would likewise preserve
the sole right of five counties to impose their existing rates in
excess of 4%. (A sixth county, Suffolk, also imposes a 1/4% rate in
excess of 4%, but pursuant to the authority of section 1210-A which
does not expire until the year 2030.)
The current rule in Tax Law section 1223 (a) that certain cities in
the counties of Cayuga, Cortland, Fulton, Madison, and Otsego can
preempt the county's additional rate would be preserved in new section
1224(g), as added by bill section 15.
Bill sections 18 through 34 make conforming amendments to preserve
county distribution provisions applicable to existing rates of tax in
excess of 3% or 4%.
Bill section 35 would add four new Tax Law sections. Sections 1262-t,
1262-u, and 1262-v would preserve current revenue dispositions
applicable to Erie, Oneida and Herkimer counties. New Section 1262-x
would preserve the disposition of Ontario's current 1/8% rate in
excess of 3% and would also capture the disposition of the proposed
new additional 3/8% rate in excess of 3% the county plans to impose,
as set out in Bill No. S.1565/A.2805.
Section 36 provides the bill would take effect December 1, 2009, and
apply in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions in Tax
Law sections 1106 and 1217, provided that a county, city or school
district would be authorized immediately after the bill is enacted to
adopt or amend local laws, ordinances or resolutions to impose sales
and use taxes at a rate in excess of three or four percent pursuant to
the authority of the bill to take effect December 1, 2009, or
thereafter. However, the local law, ordinance or resolution of Ontario
County to impose sales and use taxes at the rate of one-half of one
percent in excess of three percent could take effect September 1,
2009, and the local law, ordinance or resolution of the city of White
Plains to impose sales and use taxes at the rate of up to one percent
in excess of three percent could also take effect September 1, 2009,
provided that Ontario County and the city of White Plains each
complies with the provisions of subdivisions (d) and (e) of section
1210 of the Tax Law. Finally, bill section thirty-three and Tax Law
section 1262-x to be added by bill section thirty-five, relating to
disposition of revenues in Ontario County, would take effect September
1, 2009.
JUSTIFICATION :
There are 57 counties outside New York City that impose general sales
and use taxes pursuant to the authority of Tax Law section 1210(a)
(1). Everyone of them imposes the current "maximum authorized" rate of
3% of sales and use taxes. in addition, more than 50 of those counties
impose additional rates, ranging from 1/8% to 1/4%. Some 25 cities
impose general sales and use taxes pursuant to section 1210(a) (1);
six of them are authorized to impose additional rates. The additional
1% additional rates for the cities of Mount Vernon and Yonkers are not
subject to expiration. New York City imposes general sales and use
taxes at the rate of 4%, also without expiration and not subject to
preemption by the five counties in New York City, which are not
authorized to impose sales and use taxes. All but two of the
additional county and city rates that are subject to expiration expire
on November 30, 2009. White Plains' additional 1/4% rate expires
August 31, 2009. New Rochelle's additional 1% rate expires December
31, 2009. All of these additional rates have typically been renewed
for two years at a time. No school districts have authority for
additional rates.
As more and more localities have been authorized over the years to
impose additional rates of sales and use taxes, the burden on them to
have their authority renewed every other year has increased. These
renewal bills also burden the State Legislature every other summer.
Drafting and renewing the State enabling legislation for this ever
expanding population of counties and cities and then preparing model
enactments for them to impose or extend the additional rates has also
tied up the Tax Department's resources. Often, a county or city seeks
to rush a bill through the Legislature to meet a local fiscal
emergency. These bills often get passed without sufficient time for
the Tax Department to notify vendors and other persons required to
collect tax. Those businesses do not have sufficient time to adjust
their cash registers and take other steps necessary to collect the
correct amount of tax on the effective date of the new rate, putting
them at risk and threatening the locality's revenues until they can
come into compliance. By authorizing counties and cities each to
impose at a rate up to 4%, the 57 counties and cities that need the
biannual renewals will be reduced to five counties that currently have
rates in excess of 4%. This will lighten the load for these counties
and cities, the Tax Department and for the State Legislature. It will
also enhance flexibility for counties and cities to elect rates up to
4% to provide needed revenues as local requirements dictate, without
the need State legislation, as well as to reduce rates when conditions
allow. Thus, this bill will improve State and local government
operations. It will also help to minimize the compliance problems for
persons required to collect sales and use taxes, since counties and
cities will not have to wait for State enabling legislation to adopt
local enactments increasing their tax rates up to and including 4%.
The Tax Department will have the usual minimum 90 days advance notice
of rate changes required by Tax Law section 1210(d). In exigent
circumstances, the Tax Commissioner can reduce that minimum 90 day
period down to not less than 30 days, though it really takes at least
60 days for the Tax Department to process a rate change effectively
and efficiently. Also, persons required to collect tax will have
greater notice of the rate change, which will make their lives easier.
For these reasons, the bill is a benefit to all stakeholders.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
New Legislation.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
This legislation does not affect state revenues.
EFFECTIVE DATE :
Section 36 provides the bill would take effect December 1, 2009, and
apply in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions in Tax
Law sections 1106 and 1217, provided that a county, city or school
district would be authorized immediately after the bill is enacted to
adopt or amend local laws, ordinances or resolutions to impose sales
and use taxes at a rate in excess of three or four percent pursuant to
the authority of the bill to take effect December 1, 2009, or
thereafter. However, the local law, ordinance or resolution of Ontario
County to impose sales and use taxes at the rate of one-half of one
percent in excess of three percent could take effect September 1,
2009, and the local law, ordinance or resolution of the city of White
Plains to impose sales and use taxes at the rate of up to one percent
in excess of three percent could also take effect September 1, 2009,
provided that Ontario County and the city of White Plains each
complies with the provisions of subdivisions (d) and (e) of section
1210 of the Tax Law. Finally, bill section thirty-three and Tax Law
section 1262-x to be added by bill section thirty-five, relating to
disposition of revenues in Ontario County, would take effect September
1, 2009.

S 12. Subdivisions (a) and (b) of section 1223 of the tax law, subdi- vision (a) as separately amended by section 8 of part SS-1 of chapter 57 of the laws of 2008 and chapter 65 of the laws of 2008, subdivision (b) as separately amended by chapters 4, 8 and 9 of the laws of 2003, are amended to read as follows: (a) (1) No transaction taxable under sections twelve hundred two through twelve hundred four of this article shall be taxed pursuant to this article by any county or by any city located therein, or by both, at an aggregate rate in excess of the highest rate set forth in the applicable subdivision of section twelve hundred one of this article [or, in the case of any taxes imposed].

(b) If a transaction is taxed by both a county and a city, the rate of tax on such transaction imposed by the county or city, not having prior right thereto pursuant to section twelve hundred twenty-four, shall be deemed to be reduced (or the entire tax eliminated, if necessary) to the extent necessary to comply with the [foregoing] requirement OF PARAGRAPH ONE OR TWO OF SUBDIVISION (A) OF THIS SECTION. A tax imposed by a county upon any transaction, to the extent that it would require a reduction in any tax rate imposed thereon by a city, shall not become effective in respect to any transaction taxed by such city (or in respect of other similar transactions outside of the city which, if occurring in such city, would be subject to such city tax) before the commencement of the city's next succeeding fiscal year and then only if the county shall have given notice to such city of its imposition of a tax on such trans- action at least six months prior to the commencement of such fiscal year, provided however that the local legislative body of such city may waive the requirement of such notice and the postponement of the effec- tive date of such tax. A city tax upon any transaction, to the extent that it would require a reduction in any tax rate imposed by a county thereon, shall not become effective in respect of any transaction taxed by such county before the commencement of the county's next succeeding fiscal year and then only if the city shall have given notice to such county of its imposition of a tax on such transaction at least six months prior to the commencement of such fiscal year, provided, however, that the local legislative body of such county may waive the requirement of such notice and postponement of the effective date of such tax. However, whether or not the six months' notice requirement provided in this section has been waived, a tax imposed pursuant to the authority of section twelve hundred ten or twelve hundred eleven OF THIS ARTICLE shall still be subject to the requirements provided for in the first three sentences of subdivision (d) of such sections and in subdivision (e) of such sections. S 13.

BILL NUMBER: S5922A
TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to authorizing certain
counties, cities and school districts to impose up to a four percent
rate of sales and compensating use taxes pursuant to the authority of
article 29 of such law and to authorizing certain counties to impose
such taxes at rates in excess of four percent for a two year period;
and to repeal certain provisions of such law relating thereto
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :
To permanently authorize counties and cities to impose sales and
compensating use taxes at rates up to 4% and to extend for two years,
in the usual manner, the authority of the five counties that have had
authority to impose sales and use taxes at rates in excess of 4%.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :
Section I would repeal the opening paragraph of section 1210 of the
Article 29 of the Tax Law, which currently authorizes counties, cities
and school districts to impose up to a three percent rate of tax, and
also authorizes more than 50 counties and six cities to impose
additional rates of tax in excess of three percent. These additional
rate authorities are for two-year periods, currently expiring November
30, 2009, except that one expires at the end of August and another
expires at the end of December. Section 1 would add a new opening
paragraph to authorize every county and city to impose tax at a rate
of up to four percent rate. It would also authorize the five counties
that have rates in excess of four percent to continue to impose those
rates for another two-year period, to 2011. Under the new paragraph, a
county or city could impose tax at a rate from three to four percent,
in quarter percent increments. Rockland County's current additional
5/8% and 3/8% rates, totaling 1%, would not .be continued as separate
rates expressed in eighths. Rather, Rockland would have authority
under the bill to impose the same 1% in excess of 3%, in 1/4%
increments, that other counties would have under the bill. The
special, separate distribution provisions for Rockland's current rates
would be preserved, however, in Tax Law section 1262-1, as amended by
bill section 25. Likewise, the current authority for Ontario County's
one eighth percent rate would not be retained, since the county seeks
authority for an additional 3/8% rate in Legislative Bill No.
S.1565/A.2805. Ontario's current 1/8% rate and its proposed new 3/8%
rate equal V2%, which the new opening paragraph would authorize the
county to impose. However, the special revenue disposition provisions
applicable to the county's existing 1/8% rate and the proposed new
3/8% rate would likewise be preserved in new Tax Law section 1262-x to
be added by bill section 35.
Generally, the remainder of the bill would conform other sections of
Article 29 of the Tax Law to reflect the new four percent general rate
authority, including deleting obsolete language. Tax Law section 1211
would be amended to allow a city of less than 125,000 to impose
general sales and use taxes at the request of its school district, at
a rate up to four percent. Section 1212 would be amended to allow a
school district to impose the section 1105(b) consumer utility taxes
at a rate up to four percent. The maximum rates of tax authorized by
section 1210, 1211 and 1212 have always been the same - 3% currently,
and 4% under this bill.
Tax Law sections 1210-D and 1210-E, which authorize a 1/4% rate in
excess of 3% for Erie County and a 1/4% rate in excess of 3% for
Herkimer county, would be repealed, since bill section 1 would amend
section 1210 (opening paragraph) to authorize those counties to impose
a rate up to 4%, in 1/4% increments. Portions of section 1210-D
relating to distribution of revenues from Erie county's additional
1/4% rate would be preserved in new Tax Law section 1262-t, to be
added by bill section 35.
The preemption rules in Tax Law section 1224 that establish the rights
of a county and a city in the county each to 50% of the current
combined maximum three percent rate they are authorized to impose in
the city would generally be continued with respect to the new maximum
four percent rate. See bill section 13 amending Tax Law sections
1224(a), (b), and {c} and bill section 15 adding section 1224(d),
reenacting current section 1224(11).) However, the bill would preserve
the existing rights of counties and cities that currently have the
sole right to impose an additional rate in excess of three percent to
the exclusion of the other, to the extent of the county's or city's
current rate in excess of 3%. Thus, if County A has a current right to
impose an additional 1/4% rate above 3% and that rate is not subject
to preemption by any city in the county, a city in the county could
preempt that county only as to the 1/4% between 31% and 4%. This would
mean that the city could preempt and have a 3 1/8% rate, even though a
county or city cannot directly impose tax in 1/8% increments. Because
the bill would eliminate the 1/8% rate in Ontario County, the cities
in that county would not be able to preempt the remaining 7/8% rate,
possibly resulting in city tax rates in 1/16% increments. Thus the
bill would eliminate the possibility that merchants in the county
would have to deal tax rates expressed in sixteenths of a percent,
which would make tax calculations more difficult for them and for
consumers.
More than 40 subdivisions of Tax Law section 1224 each provide that a
county or city has the sole right to impose an additional rate that is
not subject to preemption. The bill would repeal those subdivisions
and replace them with new section 1224(e), which would set out the
respective counties and cities and would preserve their rights to the
current additional rates. New section 1224(1) would likewise preserve
the sole right of five counties to impose their existing rates in
excess of 4%. (A sixth county, Suffolk, also imposes a 1/4% rate in
excess of 4%, but pursuant to the authority of section 1210-A which
does not expire until the year 2030.)
The current rule in Tax Law section 1223 (a) that certain cities in
the counties of Cayuga, Cortland, Fulton, Madison, and Otsego can
preempt the county's additional rate would be preserved in new section
1224(g), as added by bill section 15.
Bill sections 18 through 34 make conforming amendments to preserve
county distribution provisions applicable to existing rates of tax in
excess of 3% or 4%.
Bill section 35 would add four new Tax Law sections. Sections 1262-t,
1262-u, and 1262-v would preserve current revenue dispositions
applicable to Erie, Oneida and Herkimer counties. New Section 1262-x
would preserve the disposition of Ontario's current 1/8% rate in
excess of 3% and would also capture the disposition of the proposed
new additional 3/8% rate in excess of 3% the county plans to impose,
as set out in Bill No. S.1565/A.2805.
Section 36 provides the bill would take effect December 1, 2009, and
apply in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions in Tax
Law sections 1106 and 1217, provided that a county, city or school
district would be authorized immediately after the bill is enacted to
adopt or amend local laws, ordinances or resolutions to impose sales
and use taxes at a rate in excess of three or four percent pursuant to
the authority of the bill to take effect December 1, 2010, or
thereafter. However, the local law, ordinance or resolution of Ontario
County to impose sales and use taxes at the rate of one-half of one
percent in excess of three percent could take effect September 1,
2010, and the local law, ordinance or resolution of the city of White
Plains to impose sales and use taxes at the rate of up to one percent
in excess of three percent could also take effect September 1, 2010,
provided that Ontario County and the city of White Plains each
complies with the provisions of subdivisions (d) and (e) of section
1210 of the Tax Law. Finally, bill section thirty-three and Tax Law
section 1262-x to be added by bill section thirty-five, relating to
disposition of revenues in Ontario County, would take effect September
1, 2010.
JUSTIFICATION :
There are 57 counties outside New York City that impose general sales
and use taxes pursuant to the authority of Tax Law section 1210(a)
(1). Everyone of them imposes the current "maximum authorized" rate of
3% of sales and use taxes. in addition, more than 50 of those counties
impose additional rates, ranging from 1/8% to 1/4%. Some 25 cities
impose general sales and use taxes pursuant to section 1210(a) (1);
six of them are authorized to impose additional rates. The additional
1% additional rates for the cities of Mount Vernon and Yonkers are not
subject to expiration. New York City imposes general sales and use
taxes at the rate of 4%, also without expiration and not subject to
preemption by the five counties in New York City, which are not
authorized to impose sales and use taxes. All but two of the
additional county and city rates that are subject to expiration have
typically been renewed for two years at a time. No school districts
have authority for additional rates.
As more and more localities have been authorized over the years to
impose additional rates of sales and use taxes, the burden on them to
have their authority renewed every other year has increased. These
renewal bills also burden the State Legislature every other summer.
Drafting and renewing the State enabling legislation for this ever
expanding population of counties and cities and then preparing model
enactments for them to impose or extend the additional rates has also
tied up the Tax Department's resources. Often, a county or city seeks
to rush a bill through the Legislature to meet a local fiscal
emergency. These bills often get passed without sufficient time for
the Tax Department to notify vendors and other persons required to
collect tax. Those businesses do not have sufficient time to adjust
their cash registers and take other steps necessary to collect the
correct amount of tax on the effective date of the new rate, putting
them at risk and threatening the locality's revenues until they can
come into compliance. By authorizing counties and cities each to
impose at a rate up to 4%, the 57 counties and cities that need the
biannual renewals will be reduced to five counties that currently have
rates in excess of 4%. This will lighten the load for these counties
and cities, the Tax Department and for the State Legislature. It will
also enhance flexibility for counties and cities to elect rates up to
4% to provide needed revenues as local requirements dictate, without
the need State legislation, as well as to reduce rates when conditions
allow. Thus, this bill will improve State and local government
operations. It will also help to minimize the compliance problems for
persons required to collect sales and use taxes, since counties and
cities will not have to wait for State enabling legislation to adopt
local enactments increasing their tax rates up to and including 4%.
The Tax Department will have the usual minimum 90 days advance notice
of rate changes required by Tax Law section 1210(d). In exigent
circumstances, the Tax Commissioner can reduce that minimum 90 day
period down to not less than 30 days, though it really takes at least
60 days for the Tax Department to process a rate change effectively
and efficiently. Also, persons required to collect tax will have
greater notice of the rate change, which will make their lives easier.
For these reasons, the bill is a benefit to all stakeholders.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
New Legislation.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
This legislation does not affect state revenues.
EFFECTIVE DATE :
Section 36 provides the bill would take effect December 1, 2010, and
apply in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions in Tax
Law sections 1106 and 1217, provided that a county, city or school
district would be authorized immediately after the bill is enacted to
adopt or amend local laws, ordinances or resolutions to impose sales
and use taxes at a rate in excess of three or four percent pursuant to
the authority of the bill to take effect December 1, 2010, or
thereafter. However, the local law, ordinance or resolution of Ontario
County to impose sales and use taxes at the rate of one-half of one
percent in excess of three percent could take effect September 1,
2010, and the local law, ordinance or resolution of the city of White
Plains to impose sales and use taxes at the rate of up to one percent
in excess of three percent could also take effect September 1, 2010,
provided that Ontario County and the city of White Plains each
complies with the provisions of subdivisions (d) and (e) of section
1210 of the Tax Law. Finally, bill section thirty-three and Tax Law
section 1262-x to be added by bill section thirty-five, relating to
disposition of revenues in Ontario County, would take effect September
1, 2010.
