BILL NUMBER:S4279 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the tax law, in relation to providing an exemption for geothermal heat pump systems equipment PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To encourage geothermal energy use in New York State by eliminating sales tax on the equipment and installation of geothermal systems in residential and commercial buildings. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: This bill would amend section 1115 of the tax law by adding a new subdivision jj, eliminating sales and use tax for the purchase and installation of residential geothermal systems and a new subdivision kk, eliminating sales and use tax for the purchase and installation of commercial geothermal systems. JUSTIFICATION: Geothermal energy, a renewable energy source, is a reliable and effective way to reduce the need for carbon based energy sources. By eliminating sales and use tax for both the purchase and installation of geothermal systems, more New York State residents would be able to afford this energy course. Similar laws exist to exempt sales and use tax for the purchase and installation of solar equipment. PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: This is new legislation.
