BILL NUMBER:A10394
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to a metropol- itan commuter transportation mobility tax ticket rebate program
Purpose or general idea of bill
To provide free ridership for those businesses that are required to pay the mobility tax. This bill would affect the 12 counties that are serviced by the metropolitan Transporta- tion Authority (MTA). Every employer or self employer individual who pays the mobility tax would receive a number of rides the equivalent to the tax being paid.
Summary of specific provisions
Adds a new section of tax law in which every employer or self employed individual who pays the metropolitan commuter mobility tax shall receive tickets for use,on transportation facilities operated by the MTA within the MCTD. The value of the tickets will be the equivalent to the amount of tax paid by such employer or self employer individual. These rebate tickets will be fully transfera- ble and have no expiration or exclusion
Justification
Taxes are collected to pay for services. The businesses within the counties outside New York City are being asked to pay a tax to subsidize a mode of transportation not used by either those busi- nesses or the employees of the businesses being taxed.
