Pols, businesses celebrate end of NYC surcharge on liquor licenses
From brooklyneagle.com
Elected officials and the business community on Wednesday hailed a new law that suspends the city’s liquor license surcharge, thus putting money back into the pockets of small business owners.
The legislation — sponsored by Councilmembers Justin Brannan (D-Southwest Brooklyn) and Keith Powers (Central Park East- Midtown East) — suspends the city’s 25 percent surcharge businesses pay on state liquor licenses for a year and is retroactively effective June 1, 2022.
