Bill > S07079

This bill extends the authority of Columbia County, New York, to impose an additional 1 percent sales and compensating use tax by two more years, specifically changing the expiration date from November 30, 2025, to November 30, 2027. Sales and compensating use taxes are additional local taxes levied on the sale of goods and services, with the compensating use tax applying to items purchased outside the jurisdiction but used within it. The bill amends a specific section of the New York State tax law to update the timeframe during which the county can continue to levy this supplemental sales tax. By extending the authorization, the county will maintain its ability to generate additional tax revenue for a further two-year period, which can help support local government services and infrastructure. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, ensuring a seamless continuation of the county's existing tax authority.
