  • a.  A  home  service  provider  shall  be  responsible  for  obtaining  and  maintaining  the  customer's  place of
      primary use as defined in subdivision twenty of section 11-1101 of  this
      chapter.  Except  as  provided  in subdivision b of this section, if the
      home service provider's reliance on  the  information  provided  by  its
      customer is in good faith: (1) the home service provider can rely on the
      applicable  residential  or business street address supplied by the home
      service provider's customer; and (2) the home service provider shall not
      be held liable for any additional taxes under this chapter  based  on  a
      different determination of the place of primary use.
        b.  The  commissioner  of finance, or the commissioner of taxation and
      finance of the state of New  York  on  behalf  of  the  commissioner  of
      finance,  may determine that the address used by a home service provider
      for purposes of this chapter does not meet the definition  of  place  of
      primary  use as defined in subdivision twenty of section 11-1101 of this
      chapter and may give binding notice to  the  home  service  provider  to
      change  the place of primary use on a prospective basis from the date of
      notice of determination if:
        (1) where the determination is made by the  commissioner  of  finance,
      such   commissioner   obtains   the   consent  of  all  affected  taxing
      jurisdictions  within  this  state  before   giving   such   notice   of
      determination; and
        (2) before the commissioner of finance or the commissioner of taxation
      and finance of the state of New York gives such notice of determination,
      the  customer is given an opportunity to demonstrate, in accordance with
      applicable procedures established by the commissioner of finance  making
      the  determination, that that address is the customer's place of primary
      use.
        c. Except as provided in subdivision b of this section, a home service
      provider may treat the address used by the  home  service  provider  for
      purposes  of  this  chapter for the last taxable period beginning before
      August first, two  thousand  two,  for  any  customer  under  a  service
      contract  or agreement in effect on July twenty-eighth, two thousand two
      as that customer's place of primary use for the remaining term  of  such
      service  contract  or  agreement,  excluding any extension or renewal of
      such service contract or agreement.
