The New York State Foreign Fire Tax Program is set forth in New York Insurance Law 9104 and 9105. The foreign and alien stock and mutual insurance companies are required to file a report of fire premiums written, allocated by fire districts, and remit payment of the 2% tax. A Report must be submitted identifying tax due by fire district/ department, in either a text file or Excel file. The text file can be generated in Premium Pro Allocator. In Premium Pro Municipal, a cover letter that accompanies the payment and the report is included.

The Input Schedule of the New York module is comprised of columns for 7 premium types; you can set the percentage for each type in the Rate & Fee Schedule. Please note that the 5 boroughs of the City of New York are listed in the Input Schedule, the total premiums of these boroughs are sourced into the New York City return. For the Buffalo return, the Auto premiums plus the Auto adjustments on the Input Schedule times the applicable percentage are sourced into the Auto Fire Insurance field, while all other types of the premiums plus the adjustments times the applicable percentages are flown into the All Other Fire Ins field.
