We\u2019ve enhanced the Office of the Taxpayer Rights Advocate. And we maintain one of the nation\u2019s best call centers staffed by tax professionals ready to assist you with any questions about filing matters.<\/p>\n

Mission<\/h2>\n

Overview<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance collects tax revenues that fund services and programs that benefit New Yorkers. In fiscal year 2024, we collected more than $147 billion in state and local taxes.<\/p>\n

Our department administers 49 state and local taxes and fees, including $23 billion in local sales tax and more than $14 billion in local income tax. In regard to real property taxes, the department supports more than 1,000 local governments that, in 2024, administered more than $71 billion in local property taxes. To explore, search, download, and share data about the taxes we administer, see\u00a0Tax data<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A key department focus is the balance of efforts to promote voluntary compliance\u2014the cornerstone of the State’s system of taxation\u2014with the duty to enforce New York’s tax laws. More than 96 percent of the taxes collected are remitted voluntarily by taxpayers. The remaining 4 percent is a result of the department’s enforcement programs\u2014audit, collections, and criminal investigations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        The department is also responsible for the administration of the State’s treasury. The Division of the Treasury receives and disburses State funds, and serves as a custodian of special funds. The division is also a joint custodian of State securities with the State Comptroller.<\/p>\n
