BILL NUMBER:S5671 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the tax law, in relation to extending the authority of the county of Suffolk to impose an additional one percent of sales and compensating use tax PURPOSE: To reauthorize Suffolk County's additional 1% sales tax for a two year period ending on November 30, 2017. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: The bill amends the tax law to extend Suffolk County's authorization to impose an additional 1% sales tax until November 30, 2017. JUSTIFICATION: A county must secure state legislative approval each time it seeks to impose a sales tax rate above 3%. The State grants that authority to a county for a set period of time, usually one or two years. A county must then seek reauthorization from the State Legislature if the tax rate is to remain above the 3% limit. Suffolk County has requested it be allowed to continue the current sales tax level for the next two years.
