You don't pay your taxes in New York...YOU DON'T DRIVE

The state is putting the brakes on tax scofflaws. 

Gov. Cuomo plans to announce a program today that allows New York to suspend the driver’s licenses of taxpayers who owe more than $10,000, The Post has learned. 

The state estimates it will recoup $26 million this fiscal year and about $6 million a year in future years. 

The first round of suspension notices are being sent to 16,000 tax delinquents, who have 60 days to pay the bill or make satisfactory arrangements to cough up the money.

Otherwise, they’ll find themselves walking or taking buses and subways. 

The program was included in Cuomo’s budget, and he signed the measure in the spring. 

“By enacting these additional consequences, we’re providing additional incentives for the state to receive the money it is owed and we’re keeping scofflaws off the very roads they refuse to pay their fair share to maintain,” Cuomo said. 

“Our message is simple: Tax scofflaws who don’t abide by the same rules as everyone else are not entitled to the same privileges as everyone else.
