New York State Department of Taxation and Finance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (NYSDTF) is a core agency of the New York State in the United States of America.
The agency is responsible for handling all tax forms and publications. The NYSDTF is also in charge of dispersing tax revenue to other agencies and counties within New York State.
The NYSDTF has strict organizational rules and obeys all 'Public Officer Law'. On top of obeying all Public Officer Laws, every current employee of the tax department must have their taxes filed and paid otherwise employment will be terminated. Public Officer laws are a set of guidelines which were created for all public employees (state employees) to follow.
The tax department was formally created on January 1, 1927 but the first signs of the department reared their head in 1859. The original intent was to find a way (mathematical formula) to distribute tax revenue to individual counties in New York State.
