Bill > A04136

This bill extends the authorization for Schoharie County to impose an additional 1% sales and use tax beyond the standard 3% rate. Specifically, the bill amends an existing provision of New York tax law to change the end date of this authorization from November 30, 2025, to November 30, 2027. This means the county will continue to have the legal ability to collect an extra 1% sales tax for two more years, which can provide additional revenue for local government services and infrastructure. The change is technical in nature, simply extending the existing tax authorization period by two years, and the bill includes a provision for immediate effect upon passage. Such local sales tax authorizations are common in New York state, allowing counties to supplement their revenues with a modest additional tax rate that requires state legislative approval.
