Bill > A01683

This bill amends the New York State tax law to remove the sales tax exemption for fur-bearing clothing and footwear, effectively requiring consumers to pay sales tax on these items. Specifically, the bill modifies an existing provision in the tax code that previously exempted clothing and footwear from sales tax. The proposed change would now explicitly exclude fur-bearing clothing and footwear from the tax-exempt category, meaning that these items will be subject to standard sales tax rates. The bill will take effect on the first day of a quarterly sales tax period following 30 days after it becomes law, and state officials are authorized to prepare the necessary regulations to implement this change in advance of the effective date. By removing the tax exemption for fur clothing and footwear, the bill aims to increase tax revenue and potentially discourage the purchase of fur products.
