Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act to amend the tax law, in relation to exempting from sales tax sales of alcoholic beverages by certain veterans' organizations

Summary of provisions

Amends the Tax Law, paragraph 2 of subdivision (b) of Section 1116, to exempt certain veteran organizations from sales, tax on food or drink sold by the organization to its members.

Justification

Veteran groups who are not-for-profit and who operate a tavern or restaurant, use profits from their sales to meet expenses on their club and to further charitable works. Since they are not a profit making business, they should not be liable for sales tax.

Fiscal implication

Minimal.
