DEPARTMENT OF TAXATION AND FINANCE
Rule Continued Without Modification
Pursuant to section 207.4 of the State Administrative Procedure Act, the Department of Taxation and Finance hereby gives notice of the following:
As part of the Department’s 2009 review of rules that were adopted during 1999 and 2004, it has reviewed amendments to 20 NYCRR 527.8(j) (Employee meals) and 527.9(g) (Employee lodging) of the Sales and Use Taxes Regulations that were adopted in 1999. This rule deleted complex requirements of the regulations regarding employee meals and lodging that were no longer applicable. The rule retained only the provisions that meals and lodging furnished by certain employers to employees are not subject to sales tax if the employers receive no cash (or other consideration) from the employees and the values of the meals and lodging are not included as income for the employees for income tax purposes. The statutory authority for this rule is contained in sections 171, subd. First; 1142(1); and 1250 (not subdivided) of the Tax Law. This rule was previously reviewed as part of the Department’s 2004 Rule Review published in the State Register on January 7, 2004, and was continued without modification. Notice of the 2004 continuance was published in the Rule Review section of the June 30, 2004, issue of the State Register.
This rule is once again being continued without modification because there have been no statutory amendments or changes in policy to warrant any modification of the rule.
A summary of the rule was published in the Rule Review section of the January 7, 2009, issue of the State Register. The 2009 Rule Review, including the summary, was also posted to the Department’s Web site (http://www.tax.state.ny.us/rulemaker/regulations/fiveyearrev.htm) on December 30, 2008. The Department did not receive any public comments regarding this rule.
