Photo: Noah Fecks Facing down an indefinite shutdown, restaurant and bar owners in New York — as well as around the country — have been pleading for the government to delay today’s sales-tax payment. As of now, there’s been no movement on this front, which isn’t exactly a promising sign for those chefs and restaurateurs hoping for any kind of financial relief.
Some other states have delayed payment, including Alabama and Massachusetts, and there’s been some hope in New York that the industry would get some help here. In a press conference yesterday morning, New York State budget director Robert Mujica said the government was considering a delay, but that the taxes are from precrisis revenues. Calls for the state to delay tax payment have been circulating widely on social media as one key step that the government can take.
