MidHudson News is reporting Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro and County Legislature Chair Gregg Pulver, October 4, proposed the elimination of sales tax on the purchases of clothing and footwear under $110, each in 2022 as part of a plan to provide sustainable tax relief for county residents. Molinaro will formally present his proposal when he submits his 2022 county budget on October 27. If approved, the plan would be submitted to the state and take effect in March. In New York, clothing, footwear, and items used to make or repair clothing that meets certain criteria are currently exempt from the state’s four percent sales tax and the three-eights percent MTA commuter tax. Molinaro said, “...[W]e continue to offer tax relief to our residents, and this exemption on clothing and footwear highlights our ongoing efforts to cut residents’ taxes and keep those dollars in their pocket.” Pulver said county residents “work hard for their money, and they deserve to keep as much as possible.” Read the full story at MidHudsonNews [dot] com.
