Bill > A06841

This bill extends the authorization for Broome County to impose an additional one percent sales and compensating use tax for two more years, effectively changing the existing expiration date from November 30, 2025, to November 30, 2027. Sales and compensating use taxes are local transaction taxes applied to the sale of goods and services, with this specific provision allowing Broome County to levy an extra one percent tax on top of the standard three percent rate. The bill amends a section of the tax law to update the sunset date, providing the county continued flexibility to generate local revenue through this additional sales tax. By extending the authorization for two more years, the legislation allows Broome County to maintain its current fiscal strategy for local tax collection without interruption, ensuring a consistent revenue stream for county services and operations.
