AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to exempting certain car-shar-
ing organizations from the special supplemental tax on passenger car
rentals outside of the metropolitan commuter transportation district
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Subdivision (a) of section 1166-b of the tax law, as added
2 by section 2 of part WW of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, is amended
3 and a new subdivision (d) is added to read as follows:
4 (a) In addition to the tax imposed under section eleven hundred sixty
5 of this article and in addition to any tax imposed under any other arti-
6 cle of this chapter, there is hereby imposed and there shall be paid a
7 tax at the rate of six percent upon the receipts from every rental of a
8 passenger car that is not subject to the tax described in section eleven
9 hundred sixty-six-a of this article and not otherwise exempt pursuant to
10 subdivision (d) of this section, but which is a retail sale of such
11 passenger car within the state.
12 (d) The transfer of possession of a motor vehicle for a consideration
13 shall not be considered a rental for purposes of this section if such
14 transfer is operated by a car-sharing organization which primarily
15 engages in such operation outside of the metropolitan commuter transpor-
16 tation district where it sells service. For purposes of this section, a
17 "car-sharing organization" is an organization described in paragraph

19 ter and offers an alternative means to car ownership under which the
20 members of such entity are permitted to use a motor vehicle for a
21 consideration. In addition, to the extent such services have already
22 been or will be subject to the tax under this section for a use of a
23 passenger car, a person who used such a passenger car as a member of
24 such car-sharing organization shall be exempt from such use tax.
25 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
