BILL NUMBER:S4462
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to authorizing Clinton county to impose an additional rate of sales and compensating use tax
Purpose
To extend Clinton County's authorization to impose an additional rate of sales and compensating use tax until November 31, 2015.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 would amend clause 36 of subparagraph (i) of the opening paragraph of section 1210 of the Tax Law, which authorizes counties and cities to impose sales and use taxes at specified rates, to authorize Clinton County to impose an additional 1% rate of such taxes for the period commencing December 1, 2013, and ending November 30, 2015.
Section 2 would amend Tax Law section 1224(cc), which provides that Clinton County has the sole right to impose the additional 1% rate of tax, and that such additional rate is not subject to preemption, to provide that net collections from the additional 1% rate of tax shall be used by the county solely for county purposes and shall not be subject to any revenue distribution agreement under Tax Law section 1262(c).
Section 3 provides that the bill would take effect immediately.
Existing law
Currently Clinton county is authorized to charge an additional 1% sales tax and compensating use tax until November 30, 2013.
Justification
Clinton County has requested an authorization from the legislature to impose an additional one percent sales and compensating use tax above the standard three percent rate for the period beginning December 1, 2013, and ending November 30, 2015. Revenues from the additional tax will assist Clinton County in providing essential services, while maintaining a balanced budget.
