Bill > S05747

This bill extends the authority of Ulster County, New York, to impose an additional 1 percent sales and compensating use tax for two more years, from November 30, 2025, to November 30, 2027. Sales and use taxes are additional fees charged on the sale of goods and services, with this specific provision allowing Ulster County to levy an extra 1 percent tax on top of the standard 3 percent rate. The bill amends two existing legal provisions: Section 1210 of the tax law and Section 3 of Chapter 200 of the laws of 2002, both of which previously set the additional tax period to end in 2025. The net collections from this additional tax rate will continue to be allocated according to an existing agreement between Ulster County and the city of Kingston, ensuring that the tax revenue is distributed as previously established. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing the county to continue its current tax structure with the extended timeframe.
