Not a government website
This website is privately operated. It is not the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, not any other New York State agency, and not any federal, county or municipal government body. It is not endorsed by, sponsored by, affiliated with, or connected to any of them. Any reference to a government agency, form number, bulletin, publication or statute is descriptive only and does not imply any relationship.
The official website of the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance is tax.ny.gov. If you need to register, file, pay or ask a question about your own account, go there or contact the Department directly.
We are not tax professionals
The people who publish this site are not attorneys, certified public accountants, enrolled agents, licensed tax preparers or government employees. No one here is qualified to advise you, and no one here is trying to.
Information only — no advice, no opinion
Everything on this site is general information compiled from publicly available government publications and presented as a plain summary of what those sources say. It is not tax advice, legal advice, accounting advice or financial advice, and it is not a recommendation to take or refrain from any action.
Reading this site, using a calculator on it, or contacting anyone associated with it does not create an attorney-client relationship, an accountant-client relationship, or any other professional or fiduciary relationship.
Your circumstances matter and general information cannot account for them. Before you register, file, pay or rely on anything you read here, consult a qualified professional or contact the Department.
No warranty of accuracy or currency
Rates, thresholds, deadlines, forms, bulletins and administrative practice change frequently — New York resets its interest rates every quarter and can change local rates on a quarterly boundary. Content on this site may be out of date, incomplete, or simply wrong.
We make no representation or warranty, express or implied, that any statement here is accurate, current or complete. All content is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all liability for any loss or damage arising from reliance on this site.
Verify every figure against the official source before acting on it. Each page carries a Sources list linking the government documents it was drawn from.
Calculators and tools
Any calculator on this site is an arithmetic illustration that applies published rates to numbers you type in. It does not know your facts, does not determine whether a transaction is taxable or exempt, does not account for exemptions, credits or the additional statewide taxes and fees, and does not produce a filing figure. For an address-level rate, use the Department's own Jurisdiction/Rate Lookup by Address.
External links
Links to government and third-party websites are provided for convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or accuracy. A link is not an endorsement, and no link implies any affiliation or partnership.
Corrections
If you find something on this site that is inaccurate or out of date, the official source linked on the page is authoritative and should be followed over anything published here.
