BILL NUMBER: S3016 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the creation of an E-ZPass expense tax credit PURPOSE AND JUSTIFICATION : This bill would allow taxpayers to claim up to $500 of E-ZPass expenses incurred in travel in New York State as a credit on their individual tax return in the year in which the expense was incurred. E-ZPass expenses could not be both used as a deduction elsewhere in a tax return and also claimed as a credit. If the full credit cannot be used in any year, it can be carried forward to credit against future tax liability. Although the bonding agreements that have been entered into by the New York Thruway Authority may not allow it to give relief to the residents of New York State who continue to pay high tolls, this bill would give these New York drivers alternate help in the form of a tax credit for tolls paid using an E-ZPass account of up to $500 per year. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : Section 1 amends section 606 of the New York Tax Law to add a new subsection (qq) which: (a) allows a credit for E-ZPass expenses incurred in New York State
