BILL NUMBER:S2551
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to extending the authorization of the county of Chemung to impose an additional one percent of sales and compensating use taxes
Purpose
To authorize the Chemung County Legislature to extend their additional 1% sales tax for a 2 year period.
Summary of provisions
The bill amends section 1210 of the tax law to authorize Chemung County to impose an additional 1% sales tax ending November 30, 2017.
Justification
The Chemung County Legislature has passed a resolution requesting that the New York State Legislature introduce and pass a bill to authorize the county to extend their existing additional 1% sales and use tax. The county has determined that the continuation of the additional 1% increase in the sales tax is the preferred method of raising revenue to help offset the impact of the real property tax burden upon residents.
