A 2281 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to exempting cranes from the petroleum business tax

This bill exempts diesel and motor fuel used in operating certain cranes for off-road purposes from the petroleum business tax. It directly affects businesses that operate cranes, such as construction and manufacturing companies, by removing a tax on fuel used in their crane operations. The key provision adds a new tax exemption for "cranes" including mobile, hydraulic, crawler, floating, telescopic, gantry, and tower cranes. The change would take effect 90 days after enactment, altering the tax law to exclude this specific fuel use.
