BILL NUMBER:S6602 REVISED 2/12/14 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the tax law, in relation to increasing the amount of tax required to be prepaid on motor fuel PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Amends the tax law to increase the prepaid sales tax amount collected on motor fuel. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends paragraph 2 of subdivision (e) of section 1111 of the tax law to increase the prepaid sales tax amount from 14 3/4 cents to 18 cents for the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation region and 14 cents to 16 cents for the rest of the state. JUSTIFICATION: This bill does not increase the sales tax on motor fuel. It protects against county governments losing motor fuel sales tax revenue due to fraud by increasing the prepaid portion of these taxes. By increasing the prepaid sales tax amount, this legislation will ensure counties collect more sales tax revenue up front, thereby protecting them from fraudulent retailers who do not currently pay the appropriate amount in local sales tax per gallon. As a result, it is anticipated that this legislation will increase sales tax revenue to county governments.
