The state tax you owe will also be affected by any applicable  deductions and credits. The state automatically gives the New York State  household credit, the city of New York school tax credit, and the city of New  York household credit to taxpayers who qualify. The New York State household  credit is applied against the New York State personal income tax. If the credit  exceeds that tax, the excess is not refundable, and any unused credit may not  be carried over to a future year.

The state rate is 4 percent but counties, cities, and other taxing  jurisdictions add to this rate. Most tangible personal property is subject to  taxation. Some exempt items include pharmaceuticals and medication, certain  medical equipment, periodicals, and most food items. You will owe state and  local sales or use tax directly to the Tax Department if you purchase property  or a service that was delivered in New York State without paying local taxes such  as an Internet or catalog order or television shopping.

Once the market value of the  property has been determined, which is the price most people would pay for a  property in its current condition, the assessment can be calculated according  to current rates. On a state level, the valuation standards serve as guidelines  in valuing property &#8220;ad valorem&#8221; real property taxation.
