Bill > A03597

This bill creates a tax credit for residents of Rockland and Orange counties who pay certain tolls when crossing the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge or George Washington Bridge and subsequently enter the congestion tolling zone within two hours. Specifically, taxpayers can receive a credit for the tolls they paid during the tax year, with joint filers able to combine their total qualified toll expenses. The "qualified tolls" are defined as the amount charged to a vehicle for crossing these bridges before entering the congestion tolling zone, which is likely referring to the new congestion pricing system in New York City. The tax credit is designed to provide some financial relief to commuters who are impacted by these new tolling mechanisms. The bill will take effect immediately and apply to the current and future taxable years, offering residents of these two counties a way to offset the additional transportation costs associated with the new tolling system.
