 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the tax law, in relation to eliminating state sales
and compensating use taxes on motor fuels and diesel motor fuels and
authorizing localities to eliminate such taxes at the local level

 PURPOSE :

This bill would eliminate state sales and compensating use taxes on
motor fuels and diesel motor fuels and authorizes localities to
eliminate such tax.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 amends subdivision (a) of section 1115 of the Tax Law by
adding a new paragraph (44) titled Motor Fuel and Diesel Motor Fuel.

Section 2 amends subdivision (b) of section 1107 of the Tax Law by
adding a new clause 12.

Section 3 amends paragraph 1 of subdivision (a) of section 1210 to
allow local governments the option of eliminating or altering the
local sales and compensating use tax on motor fuel.

Section 4 amends subdivision (d) of section 1210 of the Tax Law to
allow for any exemption or repeal of such exemption to go into effect
immediately.

Section 5 amends section 1210 of the Tax Law by adding a new
subdivision (n) to eliminate the state sales and compensating use tax
on motor fuels.

Section 6 authorizes the Commissioner of taxation and finance to
implement the provisions of this act with respect to the elimination
of the imposition of sales tax, additional taxes, and supplemental
taxes on diesel motor fuel and motor fuel and all other taxes so
addressed by this act.

Section 7 provides that this act shall take effect on the first day of
the sales tax quarterly period, as described in subdivision (b) of
section 1136 of the tax law, next commencing at least 90 days after
this act shall have become a law and shall apply in accordance with
the applicable transitional provisions of sections 1106 and 1217 of
the tax law.

 JUSTIFICATION :

The price of gasoline has risen dramatically. This excessive price
growth has had a devastating effect on the budgets of families across
New York. This high price of gasoline also threatens to damage the
economic climate of New York State as the cost of transportation,
tourism and agricultural production are forced to deal with exorbitant
costs. Ultimately these costs will be passed on to the consumer thus
providing an additional drain on family budgets.

Faced with such a situation it is incumbent on the New York State
Legislature to look for remedies. Currently, federal, state and local
taxes on the production, distribution, and sale of motor fuel account
for approximately 54% of the price of gasoline at the pump. This tax
burden unnecessarily inflates the price of gasoline. It is therefore
reasonable and responsible to lower these taxes as a means of keeping
the cost of gasoline to a minimum. Also, it is known that tax cuts
spur economic growth. Therefore, this legislation can not only ease

financial burdens faced by our families, but also help to create the
jobs New York needs to grow.
