An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the exemption of community colleges from the imposition of the metropolitan commuter transportation mobility tax
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill will exempt community colleges from the MTA payroll tax.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 of the bill amends paragraph 4 of subsection b of section 800 of the tax law as it relates to adding community colleges to the definition of "eligible educational institution". Eligible educational institutions shall be exempt from the MTA mobility tax.
Section 2 of the bill relates to the effective date.
