[Adopted 1-12-1968 by L.L. No. 1-1968]
Chapter 767 of the Laws of 1967, effective June 1, 1967, amended the Village Law by adding thereto a new § 5-530, which new section authorizes villages to adopt local laws imposing in such villages a tax such as was imposed by § 186-a of the Tax Law, and the Village of Westhampton Beach, New York, has determined that it will impose such a tax in the manner as herein provided.
In accordance with the provisions of § 5-530 of the Village Law of the State of New York and within the limitations thereof, there is hereby imposed upon every utility doing business within the territorial limits of the Village of Westhampton Beach, New York, except omnibus corporations subject to the supervision of the State Department of Public Service, a tax equal to 1% of gross operating income.
Every utility subject to tax under the foregoing section shall keep such records of its business and in such form as the Village Treasurer of this Village may require.
Every utility subject to tax hereunder shall file its quarterly returns with the Village Treasurer on forms to be furnished by him for such purpose and, at the time of the filing of its return, shall pay to the Village Treasurer the tax imposed by this article for the period covered by such return. Such tax shall be due and payable at the time of filing the return or, if a return is not filed when due, on the last day on which the return is required to be filed.
All determinations with respect to the amount of any tax payable or applications for refunds shall be made by the Village Treasurer.
Wherever the words "tax commission" appear in Subdivisions 6 and 10 of § 186-a of the Tax Law in effect on June 1, 1967, they shall be interpreted to mean the Village Treasurer.
