Bill > A04068

This bill extends the authorization for Yates County, located in New York State, to impose an additional one percent sales and compensating use tax beyond its current expiration date. Specifically, the bill amends an existing section of the tax law to change the end date of this tax authorization from November 30, 2025, to November 30, 2027. Compensating use taxes are typically imposed on goods purchased outside of the state but used within the state, ensuring that local sales taxes are not avoided through out-of-state purchases. By extending this tax authorization, the county will continue to have the ability to generate additional local revenue through this supplemental sales tax for two more years. The bill's language is straightforward, making a simple numeric change to the existing statute, and it is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
