Sales taxes
New York's additional 0.25 percent sales and use tax rate expired on June 1, 2005, lowering the state's tax rate to 4 percent.
The types of property and services subject to sales tax within the Empire State are many and varied.
Local sales taxes also might be added.
Clothing and footwear sold for less than $110 is exempt from state sales tax, as well as exempt from the 0.375 percent sales tax imposed in the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District.
Details on New York state sales taxes can be found in Publication 750.
