BILL NUMBER:S5336
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to sales and compensating use tax in Dutchess county
Purpose
This bill would enable Dutchess County to adopt and amend local laws to extend for two more years, the continuation of an additional three-quarters of one percent sales tax rate.
Summary of provisions
Section one amends Section 1210 of the tax law to provide authorization for Dutchess County to extend the imposition of a sales tax rate at an additional three-quarters one percent for two more years, until November 30, 2017.
Section two sets the immediate effective date.
Existing law
Section 1210 of the Tax law currently authorizes Dutchess County to impose the additional three-quarters of one percent sales and use tax until November 30, 2015.
Justification
The Dutchess County Legislature has requested legislation to enable the continuation of imposing an additional three-quarters of one percent sales tax in order to address the county's financial needs. This enabling legislation will allow Dutchess County to continue to offset real property taxes for residents and businesses and is critical to the county's ability to run efficiently.
Legislative history
Similar to Chapter 313 of the laws of 2013 which provided a two year extender.
Fiscal implications
The three-quarters of one percent represents $34,875,000 in revenue.
