BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
(Executive Budget: pp. 267-273)
The Department of Taxation and Finance is responsible for the State's taxation
administration, along with the administration of related local taxes. This
agency is included in the General Government Budget appropriation bill.
State Operations
The Executive recommends General Fund support of $412,479,000 for State Fiscal
Year (SFY) 2001-02, an increase of $5,851,000 or 1.44 percent over State Fiscal
Year (SFY) 2000-01.
A net decrease of 70 positions for Taxation and Finance is included in the
Governor's budget. This decreases is mostly attributable to attrition. The
Executive expects $5.7 million in savings associated with the 70 positions
reduction all of which is expected to remain in the agency to fund two new
initiatives (Federal Refund Offset Program and upgrade for the Audit and
Management System) necessary to maintain the projected revenue collection
assumed in the Financial Plan.
The Executive continues to recommend nine positions to be sub-allocated through
Special Revenue-Federal Funds to support the processing of unemployment claims
using the Benefit On-Line Terminal System (BOLTS) computer system.
The Executive recommends an increase of $2,437,400 in the Audit Program. The
increase in personal service cost account for $2,231,400. Inflation related
increases in Personal Service and Non-Personal Services account for the
remaining $206,000 increase.
The Executive recommends a General Fund decrease of $1,676,100 in the Revenue
and Information Management Program. This decrease is primarily due to the
reduction in personal service associated with 23 positions cuts.
The Governor recommends a $393,000 increase for the New York City Assessment
Account Program to reflect functions such as Banking Services and data
consolidation that contribute to the cost of administration.
Governor proposes an increase of $911,000 for Banking Services. This increase
is attributable to legislation to consolidate unemployment reporting whereby
functions formerly assigned to the Department of Labor will now be conducted
under Taxation and Finance, increased business tax processing volume, and a
mandate by the State Comptroller for re-bidding of business tax processing.
Aid to Localities
The Executive recommends $750,000 in funding for the Nassau and Suffolk
Counties' sales tax compliance offices.
