§  1963.  Tax exemptions. 1. It is hereby determined that the creation of the authority and the carrying out of its corporate  purposes  is  in all respects for the benefit of the people of the city and its environs, and  is  a  public  purpose,  and  the  authority  shall  be regarded as performing a  governmental  function  in  the  exercise  of  the  powers conferred upon it by this title and shall be required to pay no taxes or assessments  upon  any  of  the  property  acquired  by  it or under its jurisdiction or control or supervision or upon its activities. Provided, however, if the authority is located within  a  transportation  district referenced  in  paragraph  (a) of subdivision two of section two hundred fifty-three of the tax law, it shall not be exempt from  the  additional tax  on each mortgage of real property situated within the state imposed by such paragraph.   2. Any bonds or notes issued pursuant to this title, together with the income therefrom, as well as the property of  the  authority,  shall  be exempt from taxation, except for transfer and estate taxes.   3. Agents of the authority and project operators shall annually file a statement  with the department of taxation and finance, on a form and in such a manner as is prescribed  by  the  commissioner  of  taxation  and finance,  of  the  value  of all sales and use tax exemptions claimed by such agents or agents of such agents or  project  operators,  including, but  not  limited  to,  consultants  or subcontractors of such agents or project operators, under the authority granted pursuant to this section. The penalty for failure to file such statement shall be the  removal  of the  authority  to  act  as  an  agent  of the authority or as a project operator.   4.

(b) Within thirty days of the date that  the  authority's  designation described  in  paragraph  (a)  of  this  subdivision  has  been amended, terminated, been revoked, or  become  invalid  or  ineffective  for  any reason,  the  authority  shall  file  a statement with the department of taxation and finance relating thereto, on a form and in such  manner  as is  prescribed  by the commissioner of taxation and finance, identifying each such agent so named by the authority in  the  original  designation and   setting   forth  the  taxpayer  identification  number  and  other identifying information of each such agent, the date  as  of  which  the original designation was amended, terminated, revoked, or became invalid or  ineffective  and  the  reason  therefor, together with a copy of the original designation.
