Nys budget calendar 201612/4/2023 The delay would require New York taxpayers to use the personal income tax rate schedules applicable in 2020 again in 2021, and the rate schedules currently applicable for tax years 2021 through 2024 would each be delayed by one year. One year delay of middle class tax cuts – The Budget Bill would also delay by one year an ongoing phasing in of tax rate cuts targeting the middle class.Interestingly, the Budget Bill would allow taxpayers to pre-pay their tax year 20 surcharge liabilities in tax year 2021 and would allow a deduction beginning in tax year 2024 corresponding to the amount of any prepayment. The surcharge rate would vary from 0.5% of taxable income for taxpayers earning between $5,000,001 and $10,000,000, to 2% of taxable income for taxpayers earning over $100,000,000. “ High income surcharge” – The Budget Bill would impose a temporary income tax surcharge on high-income taxpayers for tax years 2021 through 2023.While the Governor’s “Memorandum in Support” connected with the Budget Bill claims that the Department’s inability to appeal Tribunal decisions is a “flaw” in current law, a change will substantially increase litigation burdens on New York taxpayers. This proposal is similar to failed proposals from past years (such as a proposal included in Governor Cuomo’s Fiscal Year 2019 budget bill). The Budget Bill proposes to allow the Department to seek judicial review of Tribunal decisions. Tribunal decisions are final and binding on the Department, meaning that if a taxpayer is satisfied with the outcome of a case at the Tribunal, its case is over. Under current law, only a taxpayer may appeal a Tribunal decision to the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court. The Tribunal reviews ALJ determinations for both factual mistakes and erroneous legal conclusions. An appeal before the DTA is first heard by an administrative law judge, who conducts a hearing, establishes the factual record, and issues a determination.Īn ALJ’s determination is appealable by either the taxpayer or the Department to the Tax Appeals Tribunal (Tribunal), a body consisting of three commissioners who are appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the New York State Senate. While the Governor stated during his Budget address that he is requesting $15 billion in aid from the federal government, the Budget Bill assumes that the State will only receive $6 billion in new aid-an amount which the Briefing Book summarizing all of the budget legislation claims is at “the lower end of possible outcomes.” If the State instead receives the full $15 billion in requested aid, the Briefing Book claims “the State would be able to reverse or modify” some of the Budget Bill’s most “difficult proposals.”Ī brief summary of the most notable proposals follows:ĭepartment appeals of Tax Appeals Tribunal decisionsĪppeals related to taxes administered by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (Department) are heard by the Division of Tax Appeals (DTA). Although the State projects billions of dollars in lost revenue because of the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Budget Bill does not propose significant new taxes on businesses.
