2013-S103 - Summary

Reduces personal income tax rates for the middle class.

2013-S103 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S103

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the tax law, in relation to reducing personal income tax rates

PURPOSE:
This bill would make the lower tax rates put into effect in 2011
permanent.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section one makes the lower tax rates put into effect in 2011 for
joint filers making less than $300,000 permanent. Section two makes
the lower tax rates put into effect in 2011 for heads of household
filers making less than $250,000 permanent. Section three makes the
lower tax rates put into effect in 2011 for single filers making less
than $200,000 permanent. Section four states that is act shall take
effect immediately.

EXISTING LAW:
The lower tax rates on middle class families put into effect in 2011
are scheduled to expire in 2015.

JUSTIFICATION:
With the tax reforms of 2011, middle class families in New York now
pay the lowest tax rates they have in nearly 60 years. Thanks to

these reforms, over four million New Yorkers saw their tax rates go
down and the typical middle class New York family will save between
$300 and $400 per year.

Unfortunately, these tax reforms are set to expire in 2015. For many
middle class families, this will result in a four to five percent tax
increase. Wealthier families will see larger cuts in dollar amounts,
but as a percentage of their income these cuts will be significantly
less A family making one million dollars pays more than eleven times
as much in personal income taxes as a family making one hundred
thousand dollars, but will get less than four times the reduction in
tax liability from this legislation. Making the middle class tax cuts
permanent is essential to preserving New York's consumer base, as
middle class families tend to spend a high percentage
of their income within the State. At the same time it is necessary
that the higher tax rates on small businesses and job creators expire
as scheduled in 2015.

Preserving the middle class tax cuts while allowing the temporary
higher tax rates to expire will be a powerful one-two punch
combination for the New York economy. Middle class families will
continue to see reduced rates, allowing for increased consumption. At
the same time, small businesses will see their tax rates return to
previous levels, allowing for increased investment and expansion.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2011-12: S.7845 Referred to Rules

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
To be determined.


EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
