Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the imposition of additional sales and compensating use tax in Fulton county
Purpose
To extend, for another two years, the authority of Fulton County to impose an additional sales and use tax of one percent.
Summary of provisions
Section 1210 of the Tax Law is amended to extend, until November 30, 2011, the authority of Fulton County to impose a sales and use tax which is one percent additional to the three percent rate that is generally authorized by state law.
Existing law
Section 1210 of the Tax Law currently authorizes Fulton County to impose the additional one percent sales and use tax until November 30, 2009.
Justification
In 2005, the Fulton County Board of Supervisors requested legislation to impose an additional 1 % sales tax in order to help diversify its revenue sources and thereby help alleviate the property tax burden. This authority was initially granted for two years, and was renewed in 2007. These sales tax revenues are a necessary part of the County's financial plan, and this bill would extend, for another two years, the authority of Fulton County to impose this additional sales tax.
Fiscal implications
None to the State.
Local fiscal implications
This bill will continue the current level of local sales tax revenue received by Fulton County.
Effective date
Immediate.
