S7510-2011 Memo

BILL NUMBER:S7510

TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to authorizing the city of
White Plains to impose an occupancy tax

PURPOSE:
To authorize the city of White Plains to extend a room occupancy tax not
to exceed 3%, for the three year period expiring December 31, 2015.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1202 of the tax law is amended to extend authority of the city
of White Plains to enact such a tax, for a three year period expiring
December 31, 2015.

JUSTIFICATION:
The city of White Plains seeks to continue the authority granted in 2009
to impose a 3% daily room occupancy tax upon any hotel, motel, or simi-
lar place in the city. Such revenues serve as an alternative to the real
property tax.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
A.3123/S.1086 - Signed into law as Chapter 95 of 2009.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The city of White Plains received $979,833 in revenues from this tax in
the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 and anticipates similar revenues
for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively. There
is no fiscal impact to New York State.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
