Sales tax collections data from New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. Local sales taxes are those imposed for entities other than
the State.
The remaining 8 percent of local sales tax collections are distributed to other cities, certain school districts, the Metropolitan Transportation
Authority (MTA) and other designated entities.

County revenue data is from the Office of the State Comptroller. 2013 is the latest year for which revenue data is available.
Regional sales tax collections include counties and cities with a general sales tax, but exclude cities with a segmented sales tax, school districts,
the MTA and other entities.
The local rate is combined with the State rate of 4 percent to determine the overall sales tax rate for each jurisdiction.
