Sunshine Breaks on Solar Purchases for Business
New this year, you could get a tax break when installing solar energy equipment in a commercial building, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance announced.
Beginning January 1, 2013, the State's 4% sales tax won't be charged on the sale or installation of commercial solar energy systems equipment. The exemption also applies to the 3/8% sales tax imposed in the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District.
The new law also allows cities and counties, including New York City, to provide a similar exemption from their local sales taxes.
