BILL NUMBER:S6837 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general municipal law and the tax law, in relation to establishing an angel tax credit for investments made in small businesses PURPOSE: To establish an angel tax credit for investors who invest in certified startup business enterprises. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill creates a new angel tax credit that provides incentives for investment in targeted industries and technologies which is available in other states. The bill authorizes the Commissioner of Economic Development to certify Startup Business Enterprises (SBE) and allocates $7 million in total Angel Tax Credits each year. The minimum investment is $100,000 and is capped at $1 million in qualifying contributions to capital; and no single certified SBE will be eligible for more than $1 million in qualifying contributions. The investor is provided with a refundable credit equal to 35 percent of such investor's qualifying investment (i.e. a $1 million capital investment would result in a $350,000 credit). The credit is available to Article 9-A, Article 22, Article 32, and Article 33 taxpayers.
