BILL NUMBER:S4880

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the tax law and the general business law,
in relation to suspending
taxes on gasoline and
similar motor fuels on
certain summer holiday weekends in 2011

PURPOSE:
This legislation will remove New York State fuel sales taxes on the
specific holiday weekends of Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor
Day during the summer months of 2011.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 begins by amending the tax law by adding section 289-g to
Article 12-A, "Tax on Gasoline and Similar Motor Fuels," which
established the exemption period of a sales tax on gasoline for
Memorial Day weekend, from May 27th to May 30th, for Independence Day
weekend, from July 1st to July 4th, and Labor Day, from September
2nd to September 5th, spanning the typical four-day vacation weekend
for these holidays.

Section 2 amends subdivision (a) of section 1115 of the tax law in
which a new paragraph, number 44, is added to close a gap in Article

28, Part 3, concerning sales and compensating use taxes, to establish
the above holidays as tax holidays.

Section 3 amends section 301-b of the tax law by adding subdivision
(k) to affect tax on petroleum businesses, which would impact any
gallon of petroleum sold on the above holidays.

Section 4 amends section 392-i of general business law to account for
the amendment made in the addition of section 289-g, section 1115 and
section 301-b. This is being done as a measure to ensure that the
tax code reflects the changes made by the establishment of the tax
holidays.

Section 5 amends section 1817 by adding section 30 of subpart I of
part V-1 of Chapter 57 to account for the amendment made in the
addition of section 289-g, section 1115 and section 301-b.

Section 6 establishes that all municipalities may elect to take part
in the gas tax holidays stated in this bill.

Section 7 states that the commissioner of taxation and finance shall
make known and/or amend the rules and regulations necessary to allow
for a refund of taxes which were prepaid on any product exempted in
this act.

Section 8 allows for this act to take effect immediately.

JUSTIFICATION:
Whether brought on by market tensions or mere speculation, New Yorkers
are being negatively impacted by rising gas prices. Projections


estimate gas prices could reach five dollars a gallon by summer,
perhaps even higher.

This legislation would suspend the three separate state taxes on fuel
- the 8-cent excise tax, the 8-cent sales tax and the 17-cent
Petroleum Business Tax - during the busy four-day Memorial Day,
Independence Day and Labor Day holiday weekends, providing consumers
an immediate savings of 33-cents per gallon of gasoline - about $5 to
$6 a fill-up.

While other countries are getting rich at our expense, our blue collar
families and small business owners are being mugged. Governments
should not smile and watch their government coffers grow as taxpayer
misery skyrockets with ever increasing gas prices.

New York prides itself on the colorful diversity of vacation spots
throughout the state. Whether it's camping in the Adirondacks, going
to the Saratoga Race Track, hitting the beaches in Coney Island,
seeing a show on Broadway or touring the grape growing regions of
central and western New York, as a state we have so much to offer.

As we come closer to the busy summer travel season, it is often on the
Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day four-day weekends that
New Yorkers have the opportunity to take a vacation and spend time
traveling. This legislation helps people across the State of New York
enjoy their time off with their families, while giving our local
economy a boost.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
This is a new bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
To be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act will take effect immediately.

these holidays.

Section 2 amends subdivision (3) of State Finance Law section 89-b by

perhaps even higher.

This legislation would suspend the three separate state taxes on fuel-

Business Tax - during the busy four-day Memorial Day, Independence

BILL NUMBER:S4880B

TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the tax law, the state finance law, and the general
business law, in relation to suspending taxes on gasoline and similar
motor fuels on certain summer holiday weekends in 2011

PURPOSE:
This legislation will remove New York State fuel sales taxes on the
specific holiday weekends of Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor
Day during the summer months of 2011.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 begins by adding new section 36 to the Tax Law entitled "Fuel
Tax Holiday", which establishes the exemption the gasoline and motor
fuel tax, the petroleum business tax and the state sales tax for retail
sales of gasoline and diesel motor fuel for Memorial Day weekend, from
May 27th to May 30th, for Independence Day weekend, from July 1st to
July 4th, and Labor Day, from September 2nd to September 5th, spanning
the typical four-day vacation weekend for these holidays.

Section 2 amends subdivision (3) of State Finance Law section 88-a by
adding a new paragraph (g) which will hold harmless the Dedicated
Highway and Bridge Trust Fund by requiring the comptroller to make
payments in the amounts that would have been made if the motor fuel or

diesel motor fuel had not been purchased during the Fuel Tax Holiday.

Section 5 amends section 392-i of general business law to account for
the amendment made in the addition of section 289-g, section 1115 and
section 301-b. This is being done as a measure to ensure that the tax
code reflects the changes made by the establishment of the tax holidays.

Section 6 amends section 1817 by adding section 30 of subpart I of part
V-I of Chapter 57 to include the provisions of new section 36.

Section 7 establishes that all municipalities may elect to take part in
the gas tax holidays stated in this bill.

Section 8 states that the Commissioner of taxation and finance shall, on
an emergency basis, promulgate and/or amend the rules and regulations
necessary to allow for a refund of taxes which were prepaid on any
product exempted in this act.

Section 9
provides that this act shall take effect immediately and
states that the commissioner of taxation and finance shall
make known and/or amend the rules and regulations necessary to allow for
a refund of taxes which Were prepaid on any product exempted in this
act.

EXISTING LAW:
No provision for allowing sale of tax free gasoline is currently made in
New York Law.

JUSTIFICATION:


Whether brought on by market tensions or mere speculation, New Yorkers
are being negatively impacted by rising gas prices. Projections estimate
gas prices could reach five dollars a gallon by summer, perhaps even
higher.

This legislation would suspend the three separate state taxes on fuel
the 8-cent excise tax, the 8-cent sales tax and the 17-cent Petroleum
Business Tax - during the busy four-day Memorial Day, Independence Day
and Labor Day holiday weekends, providing consumers an immediate savings
of 33-cents per gallon of gasoline - about $5 to $6 a fill-up.

While other countries are getting rich at our expense, Our blue collar
families and small business owners are being mugged. Governments should
not smile and watch their government coffers grow as taxpayer misery
skyrockets with ever increasing gas prices.

New York prides itself on the colorful diversity of vacation spots
throughout the state. Whether it is camping in the Adirondacks, going to
the Saratoga Race Track, hitting the beaches in Coney Island, seeing a
show on Broadway or touring the grape growing regions of central and
western New York, as a state we have so much to offer.

As we come closer to the busy summer travel season, it is often on the
Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day four-day weekends that New
Yorkers have the opportunity to take a vacation and spend time
traveling. This legislation helps people across the State of New York
enjoy their time off with families, while giving our local economy a
boost.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New Bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Approximately $60 million to the state.

LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
A locality may suspend its tax, but it is pursuant to local law.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately, with provisions.

BILL NUMBER:S4880C

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the tax law,
in relation to establishing a motor fuel holiday tax credit for the
2012 tax year

PURPOSE:
This legislation will remove New York State fuel sales taxes on the
specific holiday weekends of Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor
Day during the summer months of 2012.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section One - amends section 606 tax law by adding a new subsection
(uu). (uu) Motor fuel holiday tax credit. (1) Residents. For the tax
year beginning on January 1, 2012 and ending before January 1, 2013, a
tax payer shall be allowed a credit, to be computed as provided in
paragraph four of this subsection, against the taxes imposed by this
article for taxes paid upon motor fuel and diesel motor fuel tax
holiday;
provided, that such credit shall not exceed twenty-five dollars. If
the amount of credit allowable under this subsection for any tax year
shall exceed the taxpayer's tax for such year, the excess may be
carried over to the following year or years and may be deducted from
the taxpayer's tax for such year or years.

Section One - also states (2) Nonresidents. In the case of a
nonresident taxpayer or a part-year resident taxpayer, the credit
determined under this subsection shall be limited to the amount
determined by multiplying the amount of such credit by the New York
source fraction as set forth in paragraph three of subsection (e) of
section six hundred one of this article. The credit as so limited
shall be applied as provided in paragraph one of this subsection.

Section One - defines "Motor fuel tax holiday" shall mean (i) the
period commencing on the Friday immediately preceding Memorial day
and ending on the first Tuesday after Memorial day; (ii) the period
commencing on the Friday immediately preceding the fourth of July and
ending on the first Monday after the fourth of July; and (iii) the
period commencing on the Friday immediately preceding Labor day and
ending on the first Tuesday following Labor day. "Diesel motor fuel"
and "motor fuel" shall have the same meanings, and "filling station"
shall have the same meaning as section 282 of this chapter.

Section One - states that the credit computation for the purchase of
motor fuel, the credit shall equal the product of 33 cents multiplied
by the number of gallon of gasoline purchased in this state during a
motor fuel tax holiday, provided that such claim is supported by
receipts listing the number of gallons purchased and the location of
the filling station where such motor fuel was purchased. For the
purchase of diesel motor fuel, the credit shall equal the product of
32 cents multiplied by the number of gallons of diesel motor fuel
purchased in this state during a motor fuel tax holiday, provided
that such claim is supported by receipts listing the number of


gallons purchased and the location of the filling station where such
diesel motor fuel was purchased.

Section Two - this act shall take effect immediately.

JUSTIFICATION:
Whether brought on by market tensions or mere speculation, New Yorkers
are being negatively impacted by rising gas prices. Projections
estimate gas prices could reach five dollars a gallon by summer,
perhaps even higher.

This legislation would suspend the three separate state taxes on fuel
the 8-cent excise tax, the 8-cent sales tax and the 17-cent Petroleum
Business Tax - during the busy four-day Memorial Day, Independence
Day and Labor Day holiday weekends, providing consumers an immediate
savings of 33-cents per gallon of gasoline - about $5 to $6 a fill-up.

While other countries are getting rich at our expense, Our blue collar
families and small business owners are being mugged. Governments
should not smile and watch their government coffers grow as taxpayer
misery skyrockets with ever increasing gas prices.

New York prides itself on the colorful diversity of vacation spots
throughout the state. Whether it is camping in the Adirondacks, going
to the Saratoga Race Track, hitting the beaches in Coney Island,
seeing a show on Broadway or touring the grape growing regions of
central and western New York, as a state we have so much to offer.

As we come closer to the busy summer travel season, it is often on the
Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day four-day weekends that
New Yorkers have the opportunity to take a vacation and spend time
traveling. This legislation helps people across the State of New York
enjoy their time off with families, while giving our local economy a

BILL NUMBER:S4880D

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the tax law,
in relation to establishing a motor fuel holiday tax credit for the
2012 tax year

PURPOSE:
This legislation will remove New York State fuel sales taxes on the
specific holiday weekends of Independence Day and Labor Day during
the summer months of 2012.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section One - amends section 606 tax law by adding a new subsection
(uu). (uu) Motor fuel holiday tax credit. (1) Residents. For the tax
year beginning on January 1, 2012 and ending before January 1, 2013, a
tax payer shall be allowed a credit, to be computed as provided in
paragraph four of this subsection, against the taxes imposed by this
article for taxes paid upon motor fuel and diesel motor fuel tax
holiday;
provided, that such credit shall not exceed twenty-five dollars. If the
amount of credit allowable under this subsection for any tax year
shall exceed the taxpayer's tax for such year, the excess may be
carried over to the following year or years and may be deducted from
the taxpayer's tax for such year or years.

Section One - also states (2) Nonresidents. In the case of a
nonresident taxpayer or a part-year resident taxpayer, the credit
determined under this subsection shall be limited to the amount
determined by multiplying the amount of such credit by the New York
source fraction as set forth in paragraph three of subsection (e) of
section six hundred one of this article. The credit as so limited
shall be applied as provided in paragraph one of this subsection.

Section One - defines "Motor fuel tax holiday" shall mean (i) the
period commencing on the Friday immediately preceding the fourth of
July and ending on the first Monday after the fourth of July; and
(ii) the period commencing on the Friday immediately preceding Labor
day and ending on the first Tuesday following Labor day. "Diesel
motor fuel" and "motor fuel" shall have the same meanings, and
"filling station" shall have the same meaning as section 282 of this
chapter.

Section One - states that the credit computation for the purchase of
motor fuel, the credit shall equal the product of 33 cents multiplied
by the number of gallon of gasoline purchased in this state during a
motor fuel tax holiday, provided that such claim is supported by
receipts listing the number of gallons purchased and the location of
the filling station where such motor fuel was purchased. For the
purchase of diesel motor fuel, the credit shall equal the product of
32 cents multiplied by the number of gallons of diesel motor fuel
purchased in this state during a motor fuel tax holiday, provided
that such claim is supported by receipts listing the number of
gallons purchased and the location of the filling station where such
diesel motor fuel was purchased.


Section Two - this act shall take effect immediately.

JUSTIFICATION:
Whether brought on by market tensions or mere speculation, New Yorkers
are being negatively impacted by rising gas prices. Projections
estimate gas prices could reach five dollars a gallon by summer,
perhaps even higher.

This legislation would suspend the three separate state taxes on fuel
the 8-cent excise tax, the 8-cent sales tax and the 17-cent Petroleum
Business Tax - during the busy four-day Independence Day and Labor
Day holiday weekends, providing consumers an immediate savings of
33-cents per gallon of gasoline - about $5 to $6 a fill-up.

While other countries are getting rich at our expense, Our blue collar
families and small business owners are being mugged. Governments
should not smile and watch their government coffers grow as taxpayer
misery skyrockets with ever increasing gas prices.

New York prides itself on the colorful diversity of vacation spots
throughout the state. Whether it is camping in the Adirondacks, going
to the Saratoga Race Track, hitting the beaches in Coney Island,
seeing a show on Broadway or touring the grape growing regions of
central and western New York, as a state we have so much to offer.

As we come closer to the busy summer travel season, it is often on the
Independence Day and Labor Day four-day weekends that New Yorkers
have the opportunity to take a vacation and spend time traveling.
This legislation helps people across the State of New York enjoy
their time off with families, while giving our local economy a boost.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
This is a new bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Approximately $60 million to the state.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.
