Bill > S03625

This bill extends the authorization for Schoharie County to levy an additional 1% sales and use tax beyond the standard 3% rate. Specifically, the bill amends the existing tax law to change the end date of this authorization from November 30, 2025 to November 30, 2027, effectively providing the county with two more years to continue collecting this supplemental sales tax. This type of local tax authorization allows counties in New York State to impose an extra percentage of sales tax on top of the standard state rate, which can provide additional revenue for local government services and infrastructure. The bill does not change the rate of taxation, only the duration of the county's ability to collect the additional 1% sales tax, and it will take effect immediately upon passage.
