Village of Sleepy Hollow Finance Committee Finance Committee Meeting
The committee discussed the senior freeze waiver program, noting that seven of eight applicants were approved. The primary agenda item was the implementation of a new streaming tax and a food preparation tax. The committee identified five initial streaming vendors to target—Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Microsoft, and Apple—and debated the administrative challenges, lack of verification tools, and the necessity of building an infrastructure for tax collection. Members also compared the proposed streaming tax to existing quarterly cable tax payments, noting that streaming services lack the physical infrastructure presence that cable providers have in the village.
