BILL NUMBER: S7922 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the failure of a responsible person to collect and pay over withholding tax PURPOSE : To eliminate a disparity in the collection of trust fund taxes for which there is no known policy or legislative basis. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1131 of the tax law is amended to add a new subdivision (1) dealing with those people who are not responsible for payment of sales tax and therefore exempting them from such unpaid sales tax liability. EXISTING LAW : None. JUSTIFICATION : As currently written, Section 1131(1) appears on its face to impose absolute liability for unpaid sales taxes on all members of an LLC and on all limited partners of a limited partnership, without regard to whether the member or limited partner had an active role or significant involvement in the financial affairs or management of the business.
