BILL NUMBER:A8818 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the tax law, in relation to establishing a tax free time period for storm related products for the month of September PURPOSE: To provide a "tax free" week allowing residents to purchase certain "storm related" products free of State of New York tax. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1. Section 1115 of the tax law is amended by adding a new subdivision (gg) to exempt named storm related products from taxes imposed by this article. Section 2. Lists the products to be included under this article. EXISTING LAW: Under current laws, these products are subject to New York State sales tax. JUSTIFICATION: The State of Florida currently has in place an annual two week "sales tax holiday for hurricane preparedness" which allows a sales tax exemption on identified hurricane preparedness items purchased during this time. As this is just before the start of their annual hurricane season, this has proven to be an excellent opportunity to get citizens properly equipped and to promote emergency preparedness in the home.
