Bill > S00855

This bill extends the authorization for Ontario County, New York, to impose additional sales and compensating use taxes at two specific rates until November 30, 2027. Currently, the county is authorized to levy an extra one-eighth of one percent sales tax from June 1, 2006, and an additional three-eighths of one percent sales tax from September 1, 2009. The bill simply changes the expiration date of these authorized tax rates from 2025 to 2027, allowing the county to continue collecting these supplemental sales taxes for two more years. This type of local tax authorization is common in New York State, where counties can impose additional sales tax rates beyond the standard state rate with legislative approval. The bill is a straightforward extension of existing tax authority that provides Ontario County with continued flexibility in generating local revenue.
