Got a small gash in one of my car tires recently; decided to have it replaced. And that means not only shelling out for the tire, but sales tax and a tire fee.
What's this state tire fee about? It's a flat $2.50 fee on all new tires sold within New York State. $2.25 of it is surrendered back to the state for tire conservation and recycling efforts. It covers all new tires: those sold individually, with a new car, for trailers, and even temporary tires (spares). Originally, this fee was due to expire in December 2010, but it was extended through 2013 at the same rate.
NY Tire Fee: $2.50
NY Sales Tax (4%): $5.45
County Sales Tax (3.75%): $5.11
MTA Tax (0.375%): $0.51
