Fighting tax increases in New York State

The Business Council of New York State opposes legislation that would increase energy taxes paid by businesses. The estimated $128 million dollar increase in state-level sales taxes are due to hit energy purchases by industrial, commercial and institutional employers by eliminating a long-standing sales tax exemption for the transmission of gas and electricity purchased through an Energy Service Company (ESCO). If local governments follow suit, the cost to taxpayers could nearly double.
