Bill > A07712

This bill extends the existing authorization for Hamilton County, New York, to impose an additional one percent sales and compensating use tax through November 30, 2027. Currently, the county is allowed to levy a sales tax at three percent, with the ability to add an extra one percent on top of that rate. The bill specifically amends a previous law that was set to expire on November 30, 2025, by changing the end date to November 30, 2027. This extension will provide the county with continued flexibility to generate local tax revenue beyond the previous expiration date. Sales and compensating use taxes are typically applied to the sale of goods and certain services, with the compensating use tax designed to ensure that items purchased outside the taxing jurisdiction but used within it are still subject to local tax rates. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, allowing Hamilton County to continue its current tax structure with minimal disruption.
