Budget & Taxes

Makes a technical change to the tax law; authorizes the imposition of an occupancy tax in the city of Newburgh, in relation of the effectiveness thereof.

This bill extends Yonkers' authority to impose an additional 1% sales tax (on top of existing rates) plus a 0.5% tax for the city's use, through November 30, 2027. It directly affects Yonkers residents and businesses paying sales tax within the city limits. The key mechanism updates the expiration date in existing tax law to extend the tax authority beyond the previous 2025 deadline. The bill was signed into law on June 26, 2025, and will expire automatically on the specified date.

Bill A 4533 extends the period during which the city of White Plains is authorized to impose an additional sales and compensating use tax. This bill changes the expiration date for several additional sales tax rates, including a half-percent and two separate quarter-percent rates, from August 31, 2025, to August 31, 2027. This allows the city of White Plains to continue collecting these specific sales taxes for two more years. It also sets a procedural requirement for the city to notify the state tax commissioner 21 days before any local law related to this tax takes effect.
