BILL NUMBER:S5059
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to extending the expiration of the provisions authorizing the county of Chautauqua to impose an additional one-half of one percent sales and compensating use taxes
Purpose
The purpose of this legislation is to extend the authorization for Chautauqua County's sales tax rate of 3.5% for two years and continue the provision that the allocation of one-fifth of the net collections from the additional sales tax to the municipalities be based upon population, and to continue the authorization of the elimination of the county tax on residential home heating fuels.
Summary of provisions
Section 1: Clause 38 of subparagraph (i) of the opening paragraph of section 1210 of the tax law, as added by chapter 174 of the laws of 2009 is amended.
Justification
In 2005, Chautauqua County requested authorization to impose an additional sales tax of 1.25% to be used for paying the escalating mandated cost of Medicaid and other expenses. In 2006, citing the State's passage of Medicaid cap legislation, the county requested that the additional tax rate be lowered to 1%. In 2010, the additional sale tax rate was lowered to .5%.
This legislation continues Chautauqua County's additional sales tax at a rate of .5% for two years from December 1, 2011 to November 30, 2013. The legislation also continues the statutorily enacted provision for the allocation of one-fifth of the net collections from the additional sales tax to the municipalities based upon population and the elimination of the sales tax on home heating fuel.
Legislative history
This is new legislation.
Fiscal implications
This legislation will have no fiscal implications for the State and the county will receive additional funds in sales tax revenue. Consumers of home heating fuel will continue to save in energy costs due to the elimination of the county sales tax on heating fuels.
EFFECTIVE DATE:This act shall take effect immediately.
