So what does moving to a seasonal sales tax in FY28 look like? First and foremost, through fiscal year '27, so starting January 1st to December 31st of 2027, everything will stay the same. In the— on January 1st, 2028, the proposed winter rate will take into effect, which is 0%, and then for that summer from April to September 30th, it will increase to 6%. So what stays the same? The borough sales tax is not touched, so you won't have a total 0% sales tax in the winter.
