BILL NUMBER:S3572A

Title of bill

An act to amend the tax law, in relation to exempting certain veterans organizations from tax on non-highway diesel motor fuel used for heating purposes

Purpose

To provide a tax exemption on non-highway diesel motor fuel used for heating purposes by veterans organizations described in Tax Law section 1116(a)(5).

Summary of provisions

Section one - amends paragraph 5 of subdivision (b) of section 116 of the tax law.

Section two - provides the effective date.

Justification

Currently, religious and charitable organizations defined in Tax Law section 1116(a)(4) are exempt from paying tax on non-highway diesel motor fuel if used for heating purposes; however, veterans organizations are required to pay tax up front and apply for a refund. For veteran organizations, who are primarily run by volunteers, this is a burdensome process and often lead to months of waiting to receive their refunds. This bill would remove the requirement of veterans organization to file for a tax refund on heating oil and would provide the exemption that is granted to religious and charitable organizations.

Legislative history

New Bill.

Fiscal implications

None.

Effective date

This act shall take effect September 1, 2014, and shall apply to sales made, uses occurring and services rendered on or after such date, in accordance with applicable transitional provisions in sections 1106 and 1217 of the tax law.
