RE:
Mortgage Tax decision of Interest Federal Credit Union. Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union, Plaintiff v New York State Department of Taxation and Finance et al., Defendants
In Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union v NYS Dept of Taxation, the New York State Court of Appeals has recently prohibited a Federal Credit Union from claiming an exemption from the Mortgage Recording Tax. Below you will find a link to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance Technical Memorandum on this issue. Pursuant to TSB-M-12(1)R, Federal Credit Unions are subject to all mortgage taxes except for the specific exemption for the special additional mortgage tax provided in NY Tax Law Section 253.1-a(a).
