BILL NUMBER:S3303
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to authorizing the city of White Plains to impose an occupancy tax
Purpose
To authorize the City of White Plains to extend a room occupancy tax not to exceed 3%, for the three year period expiring December 31, 2018.
Summary of provisions
Section 1202 of the tax law is amended to extend authority of the City of White Plains to enact such a tax, for a three year period expiring December 31, 2018.
Justification
The city of White Plains seeks to continue the authority granted in 2009 to impose a 3% daily room occupancy tax upon any hotel, motel, or similar place in the City. The occupancy tax is a non-resident tax which has lessened the burden of the real property tax on residents and has allowed the city to remain within the State 2% property tax cap.
