AN ACT in relation to eliminating the collection of sales and compensat-

of taxation and finance to take certain actions to provide for the
payment and collection of the compensating use tax imposed by article
28 of the tax law relating thereto
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds, declares
and determines that New York state has no effective means of monitoring
taxpayers' out-of-state purchases and collecting the sales and compen-
sating use taxes on such purchases. The legislature also determines that
sales and compensating use tax should not be calculated on personal
income tax forms. Accordingly, it is the legislature's intent that such
tax not be calculated on such forms and that any references related
thereto be removed.
S 2. Part R3 of chapter 62 of the laws of 2003 relating to directing
the commissioner of taxation and finance to take certain actions to
provide for the payment and collection of the compensating use tax
imposed by article 28 of the tax law is REPEALED.
S 3. Notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to the
contrary, the commissioner of taxation and finance shall delete new
lines inserted pursuant to part R3 of chapter 62 of the laws of 2003 in
such personal income tax forms and other tax forms as the commissioner
deemed appropriate pursuant to such part to report unpaid compensating
use tax imposed pursuant to articles 28 and 29 of the tax law. Further,
the commissioner shall take other steps necessary to remove references
and measures taken by the commissioner pursuant to such part informing
taxpayers to remit such compensating use taxes when they make purchases
outside the state whether in person or by remote means such as the
internet, mail-order and catalog sales.
S 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
