Bill > S06755

This bill extends the existing authorization for Cattaraugus County, located in New York State, to impose an additional one percent sales and compensating use tax. Specifically, the bill amends the tax law to change the expiration date of this tax authority from November 30, 2025, to November 30, 2027. The additional one percent sales tax is on top of the existing three percent rate that the county is already authorized to collect. This means that the total sales tax rate for Cattaraugus County will remain at four percent, but the legal authorization to impose this additional tax is being extended by two more years. The bill is a straightforward legislative action to continue a local tax provision that has been in place since 1986, allowing the county to maintain its current level of sales tax revenue. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, ensuring a seamless continuation of the county's tax collection authority.
