President Donald Trump is assessing whether the federal government can mount a legal challenge to a new tax on luxury second homes in New York City. The tax, which was passed into law as part of the New York state budget in May, has already been challenged in state court and temporarily blocked by a Staten Island judge.
Background on the Tax
The tax, known as the “pied-a-terre” tax, targets owners of luxury second homes in New York City. Trump called the tax a “dangerous political experiment” in a social media post, saying he is looking to see if the federal government has any legal right to avert the tax.
