S3193A-2011 Memo

BILL NUMBER:S3193A

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the tax law, in relation to providing a tax exemption for
commercial horse boarding services

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 adds a new Subdivision (hh) of
Section 1115 of the Tax Law to exempt all receipts from the sale of
horse boarding services provided by a commercial horse boarding
operation for the care, control and custody of horses.

PURPOSE & JUSTIFICATION:
To clarify the Sales Tax Law to specify that
all services provided by commercial horse boarding operations are
exempt from sales tax. In 2000, sales tax relief was provided to
farm-related purchases including commercial horse boarding operations.
Instruction, training and showing of horses is nontaxable, but
according to tax regulations, care, custody and control services are
taxable. Taxable services currently include feeding, watering,
mucking, grooming, exercising, blanketing, spraying, worming, holding
for farrier or Vet, administering shots, nursing care, maintenance of
tack and burial of dead animals. The existing, Tax Law is confusing
and open to interpretation as to what services are or are not taxable
for horse boarding. Raising of horses is a growing and vital part of
agriculture in New York State and removing the sales tax from all
aspects of horse boarding will remove any confusion from the law and
make New York a more friendly state for the horse business.

EXISTING LAW:
A sales tax exemption is granted for horse instruction,
training and showing, but care, custody and control of horses is
taxable. Services provided for horses used for pleasure, racing or
show are taxable.
