Title of bill

An act to amend the tax law, in relation to exempting hospitals from the metropolitan commuter transportation mobility tax

Purpose

Exempts hospitals from the metropolitan commuter transportation mobility tax.

Summary of specific provisions

Section one amends paragraph three and four of subsection eight-hundred of the tax law, paragraph three as amended and adds a new paragraph five.

Section two is the effective date.

Justification

Chapter 56 of the Laws of 2011 exempted public and non-public schools, employers with total payroll expenses less than $1.25 million, and self-employed taxpayers with business income less than $50,000 from the MIA payroll tax. The measure did not include hospitals, a vital sector of the economy.

This legislation seeks to add hospitals to the list of institutions that are exempt from the MTA payroll tax. Hospitals promote health and wellness while employing many hardworking New Yorkers. By exempting hospitals from the ETA payroll tax, we would be saving hospitals money that could be used in providing quality, affordable health care for patients.
