This bill limits annual changes to property tax class rates in Haverstraw, New York, for 2026-2027. It prohibits any single property tax class from increasing its tax base proportion by more than 1% compared to the previous year's adjusted rate. The town must first pass a local law approving this limit, and if calculations would exceed the 1% threshold, the town's governing body must adjust class proportions to maintain a total of 100%. This directly affects Haverstraw property owners whose tax classifications might otherwise shift significantly year-to-year.
Limits the reimbursement amount of certain overpayment claims and reviews where such overpayment was due to the provider's submission of records which were not in accordance with program requirements at the time but which were in accordance with current requirements as a result of changes to guidelines or regulations.
Relates to the taxation of vapor products; provides for the licensing of vapor products distributors; imposes certain tax return filing requirements on vapor products distributors; provides for enforcement powers.
This bill changes how interest is calculated on unclaimed child and spousal support payments held as abandoned property. Property owners will no longer receive interest on these payments once they're paid to the state comptroller, except for specific types of abandoned property held by the state for the first five years. For those limited cases, interest will accrue at the overpayment rate (as set by tax law) minus one percentage point. The bill directly affects owners of abandoned properties where child or spousal support payments were unclaimed, altering their financial entitlements under state law.
This bill (S 8938) amends New York State law to include Sullivan County within the definition of a "designated community" for community preservation funds. It updates two sections of state law (General Municipal Law §6-s and Tax Law §1560) to explicitly list Sullivan County alongside Putnam, Ulster, and Westchester as qualifying counties. This change directly affects Sullivan County municipalities, allowing them to access community preservation funds previously available only to the other three Hudson Valley counties. The bill makes a technical definitional update with no new funding mechanisms or eligibility criteria beyond expanding the geographic scope.
This bill authorizes the village of Johnson City to create and collect a new tax on hotel and motel room rentals. Under the proposed law, the tax rate would be capped at three percent of the per diem rental rate and could be collected by the village's fiscal officer or passed directly to room owners for collection. The revenue generated from this tax would be deposited into the village's general fund for any lawful purpose. The legislation includes specific exemptions for government entities, certain non-profit organizations, and permanent residents who stay for at least thirty consecutive days. Additionally, the bill outlines procedures for filing tax returns, appealing tax assessments, and limits the duration of any enacted tax to a maximum of two years.
This bill updates New York City's personal income tax rates and expands the city's authority to set its own tax rules for residents. It allows the city to impose a sales tax on specific credit-related services, such as those provided by credit bureaus, while excluding services performed by licensed attorneys. Additionally, the bill establishes new tax brackets for individual filers, including married couples, heads of households, and unmarried individuals, effective for tax years beginning after 2029. The legislation also authorizes cities with over one million residents to adopt separate taxes on lump-sum income distributions and provides a framework for an additional surcharge on city taxable income.

This bill grants Cortland County the exclusive authority to collect an additional one percent sales tax without it being overridden by state preemption laws. The legislation amends the state tax code to ensure this specific local tax rate is calculated separately from the maximum allowable tax rate set by the state. By explicitly stating that the tax is not subject to preemption, the measure protects Cortland's ability to raise revenue independently from other local governments. This change directly affects businesses and consumers in Cortland County by allowing the county to maintain its own tax rate even if the state adjusts broader tax policies.
Relates to treatment of gains from qualified opportunity zones in calculating taxable income; removes exclusion of gains on property in qualified opportunity zones in calculation of income.
