Section 1402-A. Additional tax  


Latest version.
  • (a)  In  addition  to the tax imposed by
      section fourteen hundred two of this article, a tax is hereby imposed on
      each conveyance of residential real property or  interest  therein  when
      the  consideration  for  the entire conveyance is one million dollars or
      more. For purposes of this  section,  residential  real  property  shall
      include  any  premises  that  is or may be used in whole or in part as a
      personal residence, and shall include a one, two, or three-family house,
      an individual condominium unit, or a  cooperative  apartment  unit.  The
      rate  of  such  tax  shall  be  one percent of the consideration or part
      thereof attributable to the residential real property. Such tax shall be
      paid at the same time and in the same  manner  as  the  tax  imposed  by
      section fourteen hundred two of this article.
        (b)  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  subdivision  (a) of section
      fourteen hundred four of this article, the  additional  tax  imposed  by
      this  section  shall  be  paid by the grantee.  If the grantee is exempt
      from such tax, the grantor shall have the duty to pay the tax.
        (c) Except as otherwise provided in this section, all  the  provisions
      of  this  article  relating  to  or  applicable  to  the administration,
      collection, determination and distribution of the tax imposed by section
      fourteen hundred two of this article shall  apply  to  the  tax  imposed
      under  the  authority  of this section with such modifications as may be
      necessary to adapt such  language  to  the  tax  so  authorized.    Such
      provisions  shall  apply  with  the  same  force  and effect as if those
      provisions had been set forth in this section except to the extent  that
      any provision is either inconsistent with a provision of this section or
      not relevant to the tax authorized by this section.
