S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 5046 2023-2024 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y February 27, 2023 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. WOERNER -- read once and referred to the Commit- tee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions AN ACT in relation to directing the commissioner of taxation and finance to conduct a study of assessments, fees and tax rates, and associated policies of the state of New York relating to providers of telecommu- nications services THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that as tele- communications technologies continue to evolve, their expansion through- out the state has led to increasing competition among entities both within and without the traditional regulatory approach of the department of public service, including but not limited to cable, satellite, wired, wireless and broadband service providers. Specifically, the ongoing modernization of the industry's service offerings and the delivery of those services, as well as the intersecting spheres of business occupied by all entities within the telecommunications industry, necessitate that the department, in consultation with the department of public service, conduct a comprehensive study and analysis of New York's state and local tax laws to provide a fair, efficient, and uniform method for taxing communications providers and their services sold in the state of New York. New York's tax law needs to be restructured with regard to state and local taxes, as necessary, to account for the impact of federal and state legislation, industry regulation, the impact of regulatory fees and assessments on total taxes paid, and the many and diverse providers offering functionally equivalent communications services in today's marketplace. The legislature further finds that, to both retain and attract business and customers, New York should strive to tax telecommu- nications industry providers in a uniform, consistent and nondiscrimina- tory manner which results in a neutral tax policy that will free consum- ers to choose a provider based on tax-neutral considerations. To do so, EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD08999-02-3
