S4920 - Sponsor Memo

BILL NUMBER:S4920

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the tax law, in relation to
eliminating sales tax on transportation services; and to repeal
certain provisions of such law relating thereto

PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to repeal the sales tax and
related expenses charged on certain transportation services.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 repeals: paragraph 34 of subdivision (b) of section 1101 of
the tax law; paragraph 10 of subdivision (c) of section 1105 of the
tax law; subdivision (1)of section 1106 of the tax law; subdivision
(o) of section 111 of the tax law.

Further Section 1213 of the tax law amends current law to exclude
certain transportation services from collecting sales tax on the
services provided.

Finally, Section 1 provides the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:  In 2009 a hidden sales tax was imposed on the livery
industry. This new tax was specifically aimed at services for sedans,
vans, SUV's and limos; leaving public transportation, taxi's, and
buses untaxed.  This new responsibility caught the entire industry off

guard, and creates an unfair disadvantage to the industry when
purchasing tangible property.

This legislation would repeal several provisions that exist in current
law in order to equalize the tax burden for the transportation
industry. This legislation will provide a much needed tax relief to
small businesses, as well as help to offset the rising costs that the
livery industry faces.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: None.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: To be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE:  This act shall take effect immediately and shall
apply to the quarterly period, as described in subdivision (b) of
section 1136 of the tax law, next commencing September 1, 2014 and
shall apply in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions
in sections 1106 and 1217 of the tax law.
