Rockland towns keep sharing tax revenue

Effective immediately, the law continues revenue-sharing rules when Rockland imposes the extra taxes, through November 30, 2027. For the 0.625% tax, towns and villages share 20% of net collections, based on their share of county population. For the 0.375% tax, towns and villages with police departments share 33⅓% of net collections from January 1, 2008. That share goes to their general funds based on full-time-equivalent police officer counts; it cannot pay previously or later negotiated salaries. The law also retains the earlier periods: sharing began March 1, 2002, for the 0.625% tax, while the police-based share was 16⅔% from March 1 through December 31, 2007.

Rockland’s extra sales tax authority extended

Effective immediately, the law extends Rockland County’s authority for two extra sales and use taxes through November 30, 2027. The extra rates are 0.625% and 0.375%, on top of the authorized 3% county rate. Their authorized periods begin March 1, 2002, and March 1, 2007, respectively. Together, they allow a total county rate of 4%. The county must adopt local laws to impose these taxes; this law does not automatically raise taxes on purchases.
