Carey signs 'necessary' transit taxes
Governor Hugh Carey signed five new taxes to raise 793 million over two years to support New York City's transit. The package includes a 0.25 percent regional sales tax, a 0.75 percent gross receipts tax on oil firms, a 2 percent gross receipts tax on oil firms previously struck down, a 10 percent capital gains tax on NYC commercial property, a 0.75 percent long lines tax on interstate telecom and transport, and a unitary tax on international oil profits. The measures aim to keep subway fares at 75 cents for two years amid transit-financing pressure.
