Bill > A06427

This bill extends Westchester County's authorization to impose an additional one percent sales and compensating use tax until November 30th, 2027. The legislation amends existing tax law to update the period during which the county can levy this supplemental sales tax, effectively extending the current authorization by two more years beyond the previous expiration date of November 30th, 2025. The bill also adjusts related provisions in the county's spending limitation act, specifically updating references to fiscal years to include 2026 and 2027. This means the county can continue to collect the extra one percent sales tax, which is on top of the standard three percent rate, for an additional two-year period. The changes are part of ongoing fiscal management strategies that allow Westchester County to maintain a specific level of tax revenue while adhering to established spending limitations based on historical personal income calculations. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, with the tax and spending provisions specifically authorized until November 30th, 2027.
