There seem to be different sales tax percentages for different kinds of Con Ed accounts. Our common area bill seems to get taxed at 8.875% whereby at least one owner gets a 4.5% rate. Does anyone know the correct sales tax figures for different classes of Con Ed customers? I went to their website and didn’t see any breakdown. I also understand that by law the ESCO sales tax formerly 0% will or has gone up to match Con Ed’s. Thanks.

  1. To be clearer, it’s not the actual rates I’m asking about, but the sales tax on the rates. Thanks…

  2. I don’t know what the rates are supposed to be but the “common area” is billed at “commercial” rates as opposed to residential. yes, a ripoff and I’m not sure what allows them to get away with it.
