2013-S3812 - Summary

Authorizes certain counties and cities to impose up to a four percent rate of sales and compensating use taxes; preserves the authority of certain municipalities to impose such taxes at rates in excess of four percent.

2013-S3812 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S3812

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the tax law, in relation to
authorizing certain counties, cities and school districts to impose up
to a four percent rate of sales and compensating use taxes pursuant to
the authority of article 29 of such law and to preserve the authority
of certain counties and a city to impose such taxes at rates in excess
of four percent; and to repeal certain provisions of such law relating
thereto

PURPOSE: To permanently authorize counties, cities, and school
districts to impose sales and compensating use taxes at rates up to 4%
and to preserve the current authority of five counties and one city to
impose such taxes at rates in excess of 4%.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Bill section 1 would repeal the opening
paragraph of section 1210 of the Article 29 of the Tax Law, which
currently authorizes counties, cities, and school districts to impose
up to a 3% rate of tax, and also authorizes more than 50 counties and
5 cities to impose additional rates of tax in excess of 3%.  These
additional rate authorities are for two year periods, currently
expiring November 30, 2013, except that one expires at the end of
August, 2013, another expires at the end of December, 2013, and except
that New York City has permanent authority to impose tax at the rate
of 4.5%. Section 1 would also add a new opening paragraph to authorize
every county and city to impose tax at a rate of up to 4%. Under the

new paragraph, a county or city could impose tax at a rate from three
to four percent, in quarter-percent increments.  Rockland County's
current additional 5/3% and 3/8% rates, totaling 1%, would not be
continued as separate rates expressed in eighths, Rather, Rockland
would have authority under the bill to impose the same 1% rate in
excess of 3%, in 1/4% increments, that other counties would have under
the bill. The special, separate distribution provisions for Rockland's
current rates would be preserved, however, in Tax Law section 1262-1,
as amended by bill section 25. Likewise, the current authority for
Ontario County's separate 1/3% and 3/8% additional rates, for a total
of 1/2%, would not be retained, since Ontario also would have
authority under the bill to impose the same 1% rate in excess of 3%,
in 1/4% increments, that other counties would have under the bill.
However, the special revenue disposition provisions applicable to
Ontario's existing 1/8% and 3/8% rates would likewise be preserved in
Tax Law section 1262-r, amended by bill section 33, and in new Tax Law
section 1262-w, added by bill section 35.

Bill section 4-a would add a new subdivision (k) to section 1210 of
the Tax Law to preserve the current authority for the five counties
that have rates in excess of 4% to continue to impose those rates
through November 30, 2013, the end date of the current authorization
period. Subdivision (k) would also preserve New York City's authority
for its one-half percent rate in excess of 4% with no time limitation.

Generally, the remainder of the bill would conform other sections of
Article 29 of the Tax Law to reflect the new 4% general rate
authority, including deleting obsolete language. Tax Law section 1211
would be amended to allow a city of less than 125,000 to impose
general sales and use taxes at the request of its school district, at


a rate up to 4%. Tax Law section 1212 would be amended to allow a
school district to impose the section 1105(b) consumer utility taxes
at a rate up to 4%. The maximum rates of tax authorized by section
1210, 1211 and 1212 have always been the same - 3% currently, and 4%
under this bill.

Tax Law sections 1210-D and 1210-E, which authorize a 3/4% rate in
excess of 4% for Erie County and a 1/4% rate in excess of 4% for
Herkimer county, would be repealed, since bill section 4-a would add
new Tax Law section 1210(k) to authorize those counties to impose
those rates in excess of 4%, in 1/4% increments, Portions of section
1210-D relating to distribution of revenues from Erie county's
additional 3/4% rate in excess of 4% would be preserved in new Tax Law
section 1262-t, to be added by bill section 35.

The preemption rules in Tax Law section 1224 that establish the rights
of a county and a city in the county each to 50% of the current
combined maximum 3% rate they are authorized to impose in the city
would generally be continued with respect to the new maximum 4% rate.
See bill section 13, amending Tax Law section 1224(a), (b), and (c),
and bill section 15, adding Tax Law section 1224(d), which re-codifies
current section 1224(k)  However, the bill would preserve the existing
rights of counties and cities that currently have the sole right to
impose an additional rate in excess of 3% to the exclusion of the
other, to the extent of the county's or city's current rate in excess
of 3%. Thus, if county A has a current right to impose an additional
1/4% rate above 3% and that rate is not subject to preemption by any
city in the county, a city in the county could preempt that county
only as to one-half of the 3/4% difference between 31/4% and 4%. This
would mean that the city could preempt and have a 1 7/8% rate (50% of
3% plus 50% of 1/4%), even though a county or city cannot directly
impose tax in 1/8% increments  Because the bill would eliminate any
county or city rate imposed in eighth percent increments, it would
eliminate the possibility of a county or city preempting and having an
effective rate expressed in sixteenths; thus also eliminating the
possibility that merchants in the county would have to deal with more
difficult tax calculations for them and for consumers.

More than 40 subdivisions of Tax Law section 1224 each provide that a
county or city has the sole right to impose an additional rate that is
not subject to preemption. The bill would repeal those subdivisions
and replace them with new section 1224(e), which would set out the
respective counties and cities and would preserve their current rights
to current additional rates. New section 1224(t) would likewise
preserve the sole right of five counties to impose their existing
rates in excess of 4%. (A sixth county, Suffolk, also imposes a 1/4%
rate in excess of 4%, but pursuant to the authority of section 1210-A,
which provides that the 1/4% rate does not expire until the year 2030
and has its own non-preemption provision for that rate.)

The current rule in Tax Law section 1223(a) that certain cities in the
counties of Cayuga, Cortland, Fulton, Madison, and Otsego can preempt
the county's additional rate would be preserved in new section
1224(g), added by bill section 15.


Bill sections 18 through 34 make conforming amendments to preserve
county distribution provisions applicable to existing rates of tax in
excess of 3% or 4%.

Bill section 35 would add twelve new Tax Law sections Sections 1262-t,
1262-u, and 1262-v would preserve current consolidated law revenue
dispositions applicable to Erie, Oneida, and Herkimer counties New
Section 1262-w would preserve the disposition of a portion of
Ontario's current 1/8% and 3/8% rates in excess of 3%. Sections 1262-x
through 1262-ee would codify unconsolidated distribution provisions in
chapters of the laws of 2009 for the following counties: 1262-x,
Albany; 1262-y, Clinton; 1262-z, Columbia; 1262-aa, Genesee; 1262-bb,
Monroe, 1262-cc, Onondaga; 1262-dd, Orange; and 1262-ee, Ulster.

These special provisions from the 2009 chapters generally apply only
through November 30, 2013. Those sections with 2013 expirations would
have to be extended in order to make them applicable after that date.
Those sections with no express expiration should be reviewed if the
rates they relate to are continued to see whether their special
conditions should continue to apply in the future.

There are 57 counties outside New York City that impose general sales
and use taxes pursuant to the authority of Tax Law section 1210(a)(1).
Everyone of them imposes general sales and use taxes at the current
"maximum authorized" rate of 3%. In addition, more than 50 of those
counties impose additional rates, ranging from 1/8% to 1 1/2%. Some 25
cities impose general sales and use taxes pursuant to section
1210(a)(1); five of them are authorized to impose additional rates.
The 1% additional rates for the cities of Mount Vernon and Yonkers are
not subject to expiration. New York City imposes general sales and use
taxes at the rate of 4 1/2%, also without expiration and not subject
to preemption by the five counties in New York City, which are not
authorized to impose sales and use taxes,. All but three of the
additional county and city rates that are subject to expiration expire
on November 30, 2013. Erie County's additional 1% rate expires
November 30, 2013, but is expected to be renewed for another two
years. White Plains' additional 3/4% rate expires August 31, 2013, New
Rochelle's additional 1% rate expires December 31, 2011. All of these
additional rates have typically been renewed for two years at a time.
No school districts have authority to impose additional rates in
excess of 3%.

JUSTIFICATION: As more and more localities have been authorized over
the years to impose additional rates of sales and use taxes, the
requirement to have their authority renewed every other year has
placed an extraordinary administrative burden on them incurring
additional time and expense by staff. This bill would provide local
mandate relief by easing or eliminating this burden,. The biennial
renewal bills also burden the State Legislature every other year in
the same way. Drafting and renewing the State enabling legislation for
this ever-expanding population of counties and cities, and then
preparing model enactments for them to impose or extend the additional
rates, have also tied up the Tax Department's resources. Often, a
county or city seeks to rush a bill through the Legislature to meet a
local fiscal emergency. These bills often get passed without
sufficient time for the Tax Department to notify vendors and other
persons required to collect taxes. Those businesses then do not have


sufficient time to adjust their cash registers and take other steps
necessary to collect the correct amount of tax on the effective date
of the new rate, putting them at risk and threatening the locality's
revenues until the businesses can come into compliance.

By authorizing counties and cities each to impose at a rate up to 4%,
the 52 counties and 5 cities that need the biannual renewals will be
reduced to just the 5 counties that currently have rates in excess of
4%. This will alleviate the workload for those laboring in the
counties, cities, New York State Legislature and New York State Tax
Department. This authorization will also enhance flexibility for
counties and cities to elect rates up to 4% to secure needed revenues
as local requirements dictate, without the need for special state
legislation. It will furthermore allow counties and cities to reduce
rates when conditions allow, while still providing the opportunity for
an increase if necessary.

This legislation benefits all stakeholders. it streamlines and
optimizes state and local government operations. It also helps to
minimize compliance problems for businesses required to collect sales
and use taxes because there will be no need for state enabling
legislation allowing cities and counties boards to adopt local
enactments increasing their tax rates up to and including 4%.
Moreover, businesses required to collect taxes will have notification
of rate change in a timely fashion, improving operations.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:  2011-12: S.5629-B Advanced to Third
Reading/A.6575-A Ways and Means Similar to A.10418 and S.6648A of
2009/2010

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Minimal Savings.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This bill would take effect December 1, 2014, and
apply in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions in Tax
Law sections 1106 and 1217, provided that a county, city or school
district would be authorized immediately after the bill is enacted to
adopt or amend local laws, ordinances or resolutions to impose sales
and use taxes at a rate in excess of 3% pursuant to the authority of
the bill to take effect December 1, 2014, or thereafter subject to the
provisions of subdivisions (d) and (e) of section 1210, 1211, or
1212-A or subdivisions (e) and (f) of section 1212 of the tax law.

                                BILL NUMBER:S3812A

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the
authority of counties to impose sales and compensating use taxes
pursuant to the authority of article 29 of such law; and to repeal
certain provisions of section 1210 and 1224 and section 1210-E of such
law relating thereto

PURPOSE: To permanently authorize counties to impose sales and
compensating use taxes at rates up to 4%.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 repeals the opening paragraph of subparagraph (i) of section
1210 of the Tax Law. A new subparagraph (i) is added to authorizing
cities with a population of 1 million or more and counties to imposes
taxes describe at their current rate without having to seek
re-authorization from the State every two years.

Section 2 repeals subparagraph (ii) of the opening paragraph of
section 1210 of the Tax Law and adds a new subparagraph (ii) to allow
cities that impose taxes described in subdivision (a) of this section
at the current rates without having to seek re-authorization from the
State every two years listing those cities and their rates.

Section 3 repeals subparagraph (iii) of the opening paragraph of

section 1210 of the Tax Law and adds a new subparagraph (iii) to allow
the maximum rate referred to in section 1224 of this article to be
calculated without reference to the additional rates authorized for
counties, other than the counties of Cayuga, Cortland, Fulton, Madison
and Otsego in subparagraph (i) and the cities in subparagraph (ii) of
this paragraph.

Section 4 adds a new subdivision (q) to Section 1210 of the Tax Law.

Section 5 repeals section 1210-E of the Tax Law.

Section 6 repeals many subdivisions of section 1224 of the Tax Law.

Section 7 Adds four new subdivisions of the Tax Law: (d), (e), (0, (g)

Section 8 amends the Tax Law to add three new sections 1262-t, 1262-u
and 1262-v concerning (t) Oneida County, (u) Clinton County and (v)
Ontario County.

Section 9 amends section 1262-s of the Tax Law, as amended by Chapter
226 of the Law of 2011 concerning the collection of an additional
one-quarter of one percent rate of sales and compensating use taxes by
the Herkimer County.

Section 10 Adds a new section, 1265, to the Tax law relating to
referencing. Section 11 deals with severability.

Section 12 makes this act take effect immediately.

JUSTIFICATION: As more and more localities have been authorized over
the years to impose additional rates of sales and use taxes, the


requirement to have their authority renewed every other year has
placed an extraordinary administrative burden on them incurring
additional time and expense by staff. This bill would provide local
mandate relief by easing or eliminating this burden. The biennial
renewal of bills is also a burden on the State Legislature every other
year in the same way. Drafting and renewing the State enabling
legislation for this ever-expanding population of counties and cities,
and then preparing model enactments for them to impose or extend the
additional rates, have also tied up the Tax Department's resources.
Often, a county or city seeks to rush a bill through the Legislature
to meet a local fiscal emergency. These bills often get passed without
sufficient time for the Tax Department to notify vendors and other
persons required to collect taxes. Those businesses then do not have
sufficient time to adjust their cash registers and take other steps
necessary to collect the correct amount of tax on the effective date
of the new rate, putting them at risk and threatening the locality's
revenues until the businesses can come into compliance.

By authorizing counties and cities each to impose at their current
sales tax rate, the 52 counties and 5 cities that need the biannual
renewals will be removed. This will alleviate the workload for those
laboring in the counties, cities, New York State Legislature and New
York State Tax Department. This authorization will also enhance
flexibility for counties and cities to secure needed revenues as local
requirements dictate, without the need for special state legislation.

This legislation benefits all stakeholders. it streamlines and
optimizes state and local government operations. It also helps to
minimize compliance problems for businesses required to collect sales
and use taxes because there will be no need for state enabling
legislation allowing cities and counties boards to adopt local
enactments reauthorize their existing tax rates.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:  2011-12:S.5629-B Advanced to Third
Reading/A.6575-A Ways and Means Similar to A.10418 and S.6648A of
2009/2010

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Minimal Savings.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.

provisions of section 1210 and 1224 and section 1210-E of such law
relating thereto

PURPOSE:

To permanently authorize counties to impose sales and compensating use

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 repeals the opening paragraph of subparagraph (i) of section

mum rate referred to in section 1224 of this article to be calculated

encing.

Section 11 deals with severability.

Section 12 makes this act take effect immediately.

JUSTIFICATION:

As more and more localities have been authorized over the years to
impose additional rates of sales and use taxes, the requirement to have
their authority renewed every other year has placed an extraordinary
administrative burden on them incurring additional time and expense by
staff. This bill would provide local mandate relief by easing or elimi-
nating this burden. The biennial renewal of bills is also a burden on
the State Legislature every other year in the same way. Drafting and
renewing the State enabling legislation for this ever-expanding popu-
lation of counties and cities, and then preparing model enactments for
them to impose or extend the additional rates, have also tied up the Tax
Department's resources. Often, a county or city seeks to rush a bill
through the Legislature to meet a local fiscal emergency. These bills
often get passed without sufficient time for the Tax Department to noti-
fy vendors and other persons required to collect taxes. Those businesses
then do not have sufficient time to adjust their cash registers and take
other steps necessary to collect the correct amount of tax on the effec-
tive date of the new rate, putting them at risk and threatening the
locality's revenues until the businesses can come into compliance.

By authorizing counties and cities each to impose at their current sales
tax rate, the 52 counties and 5 cities that need the biannual renewals
will be removed. This will alleviate the workload for those laboring in
the counties, cities, New York State Legislature and New York State Tax
Department. This authorization will also enhance flexibility for coun-
ties and cities to secure needed revenues as local requirements dictate,
without the need for special state legislation.

This legislation benefits all stakeholders. it streamlines and optimizes
state and local government operations. It also helps to minimize compli-
ance problems for businesses required to collect sales and use taxes
because there will be no need for state enabling legislation allowing
cities and counties boards to adopt local enactments reauthorize their
existing tax rates.

                                BILL NUMBER:S3812C

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the
authority of counties to impose sales and compensating use taxes
pursuant to the authority of article 29 of such law; and to repeal
certain provisions of section 1210 and 1224 and section 1210-E of such
law relating thereto

PURPOSE:

To permanently authorize counties to impose sales and compensating use
taxes at rates up to 4%.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 repeals the opening paragraph of subparagraph (i) of section
1210 of the Tax Law. A new subparagraph (i) is added to authorizing
cities with a population of 1 million or more and counties to imposes
taxes describe at their current rate without having to seek
re-authorization from the State every two years.

Section 2 repeals subparagraph (ii) of the opening paragraph of
section 1210 of the Tax Law and adds a new subparagraph (ii) to allow
cities that impose taxes described in subdivision (a) of this section
at the current rates without having to seek re-authorization from the
State every two years listing those cities and their rates.

Section 3 repeals subparagraph (iii) of the opening paragraph of
section 1210 of the Tax Law and adds a new subparagraph (iii) to allow
the maximum rate referred to in section 1224 of this article to be
calculated without reference to the additional rates authorized for
counties, other than the counties of Cayuga, Cortland, Fulton, Madison
and Otsego in subparagraph (i) and the cities in subparagraph (ii) of
this paragraph.

Section 4 adds a new subdivision (q) to Section 1210 of the Tax Law.

Section 5 repeals section 1210-E of the Tax Law.

Section 6 repeals many subdivisions of section 1224 of the Tax Law.

Section 7 Adds four new subdivisions of the Tax Law: (d), (e), (f),
(g).

Section 8 amends the Tax Law to add three new sections 1262-t, 1262-u
and 1262-v concerning (t) Oneida County, (u) Clinton County and (v)
Ontario County.

Section 9 amends section 1262-s of the Tax Law, as amended by Chapter
226 of the Law of 2011 concerning the collection of an additional
one-quarter of one percent rate of sales and compensating use taxes by
the Herkimer County.

Section 10 Adds a new section, 1265, to the Tax law relating to
referencing. Section 11 deals with severability.

Section 12 makes this act take effect immediately.


JUSTIFICATION:

As more and more localities have been authorized over the years to
impose additional rates of sales and use taxes, the requirement to
have their authority renewed every other year has placed an
extraordinary administrative burden on them incurring additional time
and expense by staff. This bill would provide local mandate relief by
easing or eliminating this burden. The biennial renewal of bills is
also a burden on the State Legislature every other year in the same
way. Drafting and renewing the State enabling legislation for this
ever-expanding population of counties and cities, and then preparing
model enactments for them to impose or extend the additional rates,
have also tied up the Tax Department's resources. Often, a county or
city seeks to rush a bill through the Legislature to meet a local
fiscal emergency. These bills often get passed without sufficient time
for the Tax Department to notify vendors and other persons required to
collect taxes. Those businesses then do not have sufficient time to
adjust their cash registers and take other steps necessary to collect
the correct amount of tax on the effective date of the new rate,
putting them at risk and threatening the locality's revenues until the
businesses can come into compliance.

By authorizing counties and cities each to impose at their current
sales tax rate, the 52 counties and 5 cities that need the biannual
renewals will be removed. This will alleviate the workload for those
laboring in the counties, cities, New York State Legislature and New
York State Tax Department. This authorization will also enhance
flexibility for counties and cities to secure needed revenues as local
requirements dictate, without the need for special state legislation.

This legislation benefits all stakeholders it streamlines and
optimizes state and local government operations. It also helps to
minimize compliance problems for businesses required to collect sales
and use taxes because there will be no need for state enabling
legislation allowing cities and counties boards to adopt local
enactments reauthorize their existing tax rates.
