BILL NUMBER:S7316
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the imposition of an occupancy tax in the village of Tuckahoe; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
Purpose
To authorize the Village of Tuckahoe to enact a room occupancy tax not to exceed 3%.
Summary of provisions
The tax law is amended to add a new section 1202-x, to authorize the Village of Tuckahoe to enact such a tax.
Justification
The Village of Tuckahoe seeks the authority to impose a 3% daily room tax on any room in a hotel, motel, or similar place of public non-property. This tax is intended to raise revenues to support municipal expenses. The tax has been successful in the neighboring cities of New Rochelle, Rye, and White Plains. Chapter 381 of the Laws of 2010 grants similar authority to the Village of Rye Brook, which marks the first time such authority was granted to a municipality other than a city.
