BILL NUMBER: S8590

SPONSOR: KAPLAN
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the imposition of the sales
tax for purposes of the storage of tangible personal property

 
PURPOSE:

This legislation seeks to clarify that sales tax for the storage of
tangible personal property shall only be charged when the location of
the storage facility itself is located within New York.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends paragraph 4 of subdivision (c)of section 1105 of the
tax law to notwithstand any other rule or regulation to the contrary the
imposition of sales tax under this paragraph shall only be assessed for
providing a place for the storage of goods/ and or tangible personal
property if the physical location is located fully within the physical

boundaries of New York, without regard to the manner of payment, or
where services arose from, or the length of time of service.

Section 2 is the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Recently it has come to the sponsor's attention that there is a Depart-
ment of Tax and Finance Bulletin to allow for the collection of sales
tax for storage facilities outside of New York, that are being used by
New York Businesses and individuals. These facilities already pay sales
tax for the state of which they are located, including a New York sales
tax constitutes a double tax and is also just inconsistent with the law.
This legislation seeks to clarify that regardless of who moves personal
property from New York to a storage facility outside of New York that
while sales tax is charged for the moving of these items, that no sales
tax is charged for the storage of these items in another state.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

None.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately and shall have been deemed to be
in full force and effect on and after January 1, 2013.
