MEMORANDUM
From: Robert Megna, Budget Director
Date: December 15, 2013
Re: Memo in response to public reports giving false impression that New York City taxpayers will not benefit from Tax Relief Commission recommendations and other tax relief proposals ________________________________________________________________________
The Pataki-McCall Commission (Tax Relief Commission) presented, in our view, a balanced approach to tax relief between the various tax categories, reflecting the relative burden of existing taxes. An analysis by the Division of Budget shows that the Tax Relief Commission’s recommendations, along with the Governor’s stated objective of providing a renters’ tax credit, would deliver nearly $1 billion in tax relief for New York City taxpayers when fully phased-in, roughly half of the total relief.
The chart below shows the estimated value of the recommendations, fully phased-in by the third year, for the City of New York.
