Bill > A07664

This bill extends the authority of Columbia County, New York, to impose an additional 1 percent sales and compensating use tax by two years. Specifically, the bill amends an existing provision of the tax law that allows Columbia County to levy a supplemental sales tax beyond the standard 3 percent rate. The current authorization was set to expire on November 30, 2025, and this legislation would extend that deadline to November 30, 2027. The additional 1 percent tax rate can be adopted and amended through local laws, ordinances, or resolutions by the county. The bill is a straightforward extension of existing taxing authority, which will provide the county with continued flexibility in generating local tax revenue. The legislation takes effect immediately upon passage, ensuring a seamless continuation of the county's sales tax provisions.
