Electricity - January
The local electric utility bills bi-monthly, and this billing cycle includes November - Jan. But I'm going to include it here as a 2011 expense; it will balance out at the end of the year.
Similar to gas, there are several different charges added to the cost of electricity. The difference is that they are all itemized on the bill. I'm sorting out which charges I will classify as taxes (payments to the state) and which are directly tied to the electricity I received. Fortunately, descriptions of each line are provided on the back of this bill.
I'm leaving out "Transition Adjustment". Electricity generation is deregulated in NY, and the state requires utilities delivering that electricity to continue managing the customer billing and switching of suppliers. The utility recovers this through the Transition Adjustment. So it's covering state-imposed work, but it's not going to reimburse a public agency.
However, I am including SBC/RPS (System Benefits/Renewable Portfolio Standard Charges) because that does go to a state agency.
According to NY Pub-718-R, energy sources and services (including electricity) do not apply to the state sales tax rate. It also says that any municipalities or school districts not listed in the document do not impose taxes. So where does this "NYS & Local Taxes and Surcharges" come from? I have no idea, so I'm listing it separately for now. It will be incorporated into another category if I eventually find the answer.
SBC/RPS: $1.33
NYS Assessment: 0.72
NYS & Local Taxes and Surcharges: 1.17
