Bill > S05560

This bill extends the authorization for the city of White Plains to impose additional sales and compensating use taxes at specific rates through August 31, 2027, instead of the previous expiration date of August 31, 2025. Specifically, the bill allows White Plains to continue levying three separate tax rates: a one-half of one percent additional tax, an additional one-quarter of one percent tax starting in 2008, and another one-quarter of one percent tax starting in 2010. The bill also modifies the notification process for implementing these local tax laws, requiring the city to mail a certified copy of any tax ordinance to the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance at least 21 days before it takes effect. This legislative change provides the city with continued flexibility to generate local revenue through targeted sales tax increases, extending a previously granted taxing authority for two more years.
