     1    Section  1.  Subdivision  (d) of section 11-2051 of the administrative
     2  code of the city of New York, as amended by local law number 74  of  the
     3  city of New York for the year 1996, is amended to read as follows:
     4    (d)  The tax imposed by this subchapter shall not apply to any sale of
     5  services to an individual resident of the county in which  such  tax  is
     6  imposed,  except  for  individual  residents  of  Manhattan,  when  such
     7  services are rendered on a monthly or longer-term basis at the principal
     8  location for the parking, garaging or storing of a motor  vehicle  owned
     9  or  leased  (but  only  in the case of a lease for a term of one year or
    10  more) by such individual resident. For purposes of this subdivision, the
    11  term "individual resident" means a natural person who maintains in  such
    12  county  a  permanent place of abode which is such person's primary resi-
    13  dence; the term "motor vehicle" means a motor vehicle  which  is  regis-

    16  tered  pursuant to the vehicle and traffic law and leased to an individ-
    17  ual resident at the address of the primary residence referred to in this
    18  subdivision, and which is not used in carrying on any trade, business or
    19  commercial activity; and the term "lease for a term of one year or more"
    20  shall not include any lease the term of which is  less  than  one  year,
    21  irrespective of the fact that the cumulative period for which such lease
    22  may be in effect is one year or more as the result of the right to exer-
    23  cise an option to renew or other like provision.
