"While inflation has driven prices higher, sapping the income of New Yorkers, it has also driven sharp increases in the State’s collection of sales tax. Governor Hochul believes that money belongs to hardworking New York families and should be returned to their pockets as an Inflation Refund," Hochul's office told Hudson Valley Post in a press release.
Over 8 Million New Yorkers Will Get Checks
Due to inflation, New York State earned extra sales tax. With the extra money, New York lawmakers believe its time to return some of that cash to the people who’ve been footing the bill.
Over 8 million New Yorkers will split $2 billion.
"Later this year, New York State will send direct payments to everyday New Yorkers," Hochul's office adds.
