computing  entire  net income which are directly or indirectly attribut-
able to investment capital or investment income[, and (b)  such  portion
of  any  net  operating loss deduction allowable in computing entire net
income, as the investment income, before such deduction, bears to entire
net income, before such deduction,] provided, however, that in  no  case
shall  investment  income  exceed  entire net income[;]. IF THE TAXPAYER

MENT  INCOME  BY FORTY PERCENT. IF THE TAXPAYER MAKES THIS ELECTION, THE
TAXPAYER MUST ALSO MAKE THE ELECTIONS PROVIDED FOR IN PARAGRAPHS (B) AND

INCOME THE AMOUNT OF THOSE INTEREST DEDUCTIONS, THE TAXPAYER  MAY  ELECT
TO  REDUCE  ITS  TOTAL  EXEMPT SUBPART F INCOME BY FORTY PERCENT. IF THE
TAXPAYER MAKES THIS ELECTION, THE TAXPAYER MUST ALSO MAKE THE  ELECTIONS
PROVIDED  FOR  IN  PARAGRAPH  (B) OF SUBDIVISION SIX OF THIS SECTION AND

ELECTIONS.
  (D) IF THE TAXPAYER ATTRIBUTES INTEREST  DEDUCTIONS  TO  OTHER  EXEMPT
INCOME AND THE AMOUNT SUBTRACTED EXCEEDS OTHER EXEMPT INCOME, THE EXCESS

TO ENTIRE NET INCOME. IN NO CASE SHALL OTHER EXEMPT INCOME EXCEED ENTIRE
NET INCOME.

BUSINESS  CAPITAL  SHALL INCLUDE ONLY THOSE ASSETS THE INCOME OR EXPENSE
OF WHICH ARE PROPERLY REFLECTED (OR WOULD HAVE BEEN  PROPERLY  REFLECTED
IF  NOT  FULLY  DEPRECIATED  OR EXPENSED OR DEPRECIATED OR EXPENSED TO A

operating  in the foreign country or countries in which the taxpayer has
its  major  base of operations and in which it is organized, resident or

imposed by such foreign country or countries or any  political  subdivi-

entire net income,
  (c)  any gain recognized for federal income tax purposes on the dispo-
sition of stock in a DISC, and any gain recognized on the disposition of
stock in a former DISC, includible in gross income as a dividend  pursu-
ant  to subsection (c) of section nine hundred ninety-five of the inter-
nal revenue code of nineteen hundred fifty-four,  shall  be  treated  as
business income, and
  (d)  except  as  provided in paragraph (i) of subdivision nine of this
section, any actual distribution from a DISC or a former DISC  shall  be
treated  as  business  income  except  an  actual distribution which for
federal income tax purposes is treated as made out  of  "other  earnings
and  profits"  under  section  nine  hundred  ninety-six of the internal
revenue code of nineteen hundred fifty-four, in which case  such  actual
distribution  shall  be treated as [either subsidiary income or] invest-
ment income under this article.
  [8-B. (a) The term "minimum taxable income" shall mean the entire  net
income of the taxpayer for the taxable year:
  (1) increased by the amount of the federal items of tax preference set
forth  in  section  fifty-seven  of  the internal revenue code (with the
modifications set forth in paragraph (b)  of  this  subdivision),  which
items  of  tax preference shall have the same meaning and be computed in
the same manner as under section fifty-seven  of  the  internal  revenue
code,
  (2) determined with the federal adjustments described in paragraph (c)
of  this  subdivision, which adjustments shall have the same meaning and

S. 6359                            10                            A. 8559

  (4) reduced, for taxable years beginning after nineteen hundred  nine-
ty-three, by the alternative net operating loss deduction, as defined in
paragraph (d) of this subdivision.
  (b)  The federal items of tax preference referred to hereinabove shall
be modified by deducting "tax-exempt interest" and "accelerated depreci-
ation or amortization on certain property placed in service before Janu-

subsection (a) of section fifty-seven of the internal revenue code.
  (c) The adjustments referred to hereinabove shall be:

  (8) "Adjusted basis", as it appears in paragraph seven  of  subsection
(a)  of  section  fifty-six  of  the  internal revenue code, but without
taking  into  account  the  references  therein  to  paragraph  five  of
subsection (a) of section fifty-six of the internal revenue code.
  (d)  The term "alternative net operating loss deduction" means the net
operating loss deduction allowed for the taxable  year  under  paragraph
(f) of subdivision nine of this section, except as provided herein.
  (1)(A)  The  net  operating loss for any year beginning after nineteen
hundred eighty-nine which is  included  in  determining  such  deduction
shall be determined with the adjustments provided in subparagraph two of
paragraph  (a) of this subdivision, and shall be reduced by the items of
tax preference determined under subparagraph one  of  paragraph  (a)  of
this  subdivision,  attributable to such year. An item of tax preference
shall be taken into account only to the extent such item  increased  the
amount  of  the  net operating loss for the taxable year under paragraph
(f) of subdivision nine of this section.
  (B) In the case of loss years beginning before nineteen hundred  nine-
ty,  the  amount  of the net operating loss which may be carried over to

taxable year of the taxpayer beginning after  nineteen  hundred  eighty-
nine.
  (2)  In  determining  the amount of such deduction, loss carryforwards
and carrybacks shall, subject to the provisions of subparagraph five  of
paragraph  (f)  of  subdivision nine of this section, be computed in the
manner set forth in paragraph two  of  subsection  (b)  of  section  one
hundred  seventy-two  of the internal revenue code, except that, for the
reference therein to taxable income,  there  shall  be  substituted  the
phrase  "ninety  percent  of  minimum  taxable income determined without
regard to the alternative net operating loss deduction".
  (3) The amount of such deduction shall not exceed  ninety  percent  of
minimum  taxable  income  determined  without  regard to such deduction,
provided, however, the term "ninety percent" shall be  read  as  "forty-
five  percent"  with  respect  to  taxable  years  beginning in nineteen
hundred ninety-four.
  (e) The tax commission may, whenever necessary in  order  to  properly
reflect  the  minimum taxable income of any taxpayer, determine the year
or period in which any item of income or deduction  shall  be  included,
without regard to the method of accounting employed by the taxpayer.
  (f) If the period covered by a report under this article is other than
the  period  covered by the report to the United States treasury depart-
ment, the minimum taxable income shall be appropriately modified  pursu-
ant to regulations promulgated by the tax commission.]

tion required by paragraphs (d) and (e) of subdivision three of  section
two hundred ten of this article] OR

pursuant  to  section  four  hundred  two of the federal aviation act of
nineteen hundred fifty-eight, as amended, and which is  qualified  under

or  if  so  subject to such tax, are provided an exemption from such tax
equivalent to that provided for herein.

taxpayer which is a qualified public utility, entire net income shall be
computed with the adjustments set forth in this paragraph.
  (2)  Definitions.  (A)  Qualified  public utility. The term "qualified
public utility" means a taxpayer which: (i)  on  December  thirty-first,
nineteen  hundred ninety-nine, was subject to the ratemaking supervision
of the state department of public service, and (ii) for the year  ending
on  December  thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-nine, was subject to

books and records of the taxpayer for the taxable year and determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
  (5) Regulatory assets. A deduction shall be allowed for amounts recog-
nized as expense on the books and records of the taxpayer for the  taxa-
ble  year,  which  amounts were recognized as expense for federal income
tax purposes in a taxable year ending  on  or  before  December  thirty-
first,  nineteen  hundred ninety-nine, where: (A) such amounts represent
expenditures which, when made, were charged to a deferred debit  account
or  similar  asset account on the books and records of the taxpayer, and
where (B) the recognition of expense on the books  and  records  of  the
taxpayer  is  matched by revenue stemming from a procedure or adjustment
allowing the recovery of such expenditures, and where (C)  such  revenue
is recognized for federal income tax purposes in the taxable year.
  (6)  Basis for gain or loss. (A) Recognition transactions. (i) General
rule - book basis. Except as provided in subclause (ii) of this  clause,
where  transition property is sold or otherwise disposed of in the taxa-
ble year in a transaction of the type requiring recognition of  gain  or
loss  for  federal  income  tax  purposes, the basis for determining the
amount of such gain or loss under this article shall be the cost of  the
property less the accumulated depreciation on the property determined on
the  books  and  records  of  the  taxpayer in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
  (ii) Qualified gain - New York basis.  Where  a  sale  or  disposition
described in subclause (i) of this clause results in recognition of gain
for  federal  income tax purposes, and where either (I) such recognition
occurs in a taxable year ending after nineteen hundred  ninety-nine  and
before  two  thousand ten, or (II) such recognition is with respect to a
nuclear electric generating facility,  the  basis  for  determining  the
amount of such gain under this article shall be the cost of the property
less  the aggregate of the New York depreciation deductions on the prop-
erty determined under subparagraph four of this paragraph.
  (iii) No conversion of gain to loss.  In  the  event  that  the  basis
determined  under subclause (ii) of this clause results in determination

S. 6359                            18                            A. 8559

of a loss on the sale or disposition of the property, no  gain  or  loss
shall  be  recognized  under  this  article with respect to such sale or
disposition.
  (B)  Nonrecognition transactions. (i) Carryover basis. (I) where tran-
sition property is disposed of ("original disposition") in a transaction
of a type requiring deferral of recognition of gain or loss for  federal
income tax purposes, and where (II) there is a subsequent recognition of
gain  or loss for federal income tax purposes ("clause B gain or loss"),
the amount of which is determined by reference, in whole or in part,  to
the  basis  of  such transition property ("underlying transition proper-
ty"), then (III) the amount of such clause B gain  or  loss  under  this
article shall be adjusted as provided in subclause (ii) or (iii) of this
clause.
  (ii)  General  rule  -  book  basis  adjustment. Except as provided in
subclause (iii) of this clause, the amount of clause  B  gain  shall  be
reduced,  or  the  amount  of  clause B loss increased, by the amount by
which the book basis of the underlying transition property on  the  date
of  original  disposition  (determined using the provisions of subclause
(i) of clause (A) of this subparagraph) exceeds the federal  income  tax
basis of such property on such date.
  (iii)  Qualified gain - New York basis adjustment. Where clause B gain
either (I) occurs in a taxable year ending after nineteen hundred  nine-
ty-nine and before two thousand ten, or (II) is with respect to a nucle-
ar  electric  generating  facility,  the  amount of such gain under this
article shall be reduced, but not below zero, by the amount by which the
New York basis of the underlying transition  property  on  the  date  of
original  disposition (determined using the provisions of subclause (ii)
of clause (A) of this subparagraph) exceeds the federal income tax basis
of such property on such date.
  (iv) Application to replacement  property  and  transferee  taxpayers.
This  clause  shall apply whether the clause B gain or loss: (I) is with
respect to either transition property or depreciable property the  basis
of  which  is determined by reference to transition property, or (II) is
recognized by either a qualified public utility or by a  taxpayer  which
is  a  transferee of transition property (whether or not such transferee
is a qualified public utility, notwithstanding subparagraph one of  this
paragraph).
  (c-3)  Depreciation adjustments by qualified power producers and pipe-
line companies. (1) In the case of  a  qualified  taxpayer,  entire  net
income  shall be computed with the depreciation adjustments set forth in
this paragraph.

former  section one hundred eighty-six of this chapter on account of its
being principally engaged in the business of supplying electricity.
  (C) Qualified pipeline. The term "qualified pipeline" means a taxpayer
which: (i) on December thirty-first, nineteen hundred  ninety-nine,  was
subject to the ratemaking supervision of either the federal energy regu-
latory  commission  or  the state department of public service, and (ii)

nine, was subject to tax under sections one hundred eighty-three and one

S. 6359                            19                            A. 8559

erty, the deduction for federal income  tax  purposes  for  depreciation
shall not be allowed.
  (4)  New  York  depreciation.  With  respect to transition property, a
deduction shall be allowed for  the  depreciation  expense  computed  as
provided  in this subparagraph. (A) All transition property shown on the
books and records of the taxpayer on January first, two  thousand  shall
be  treated  as  a  single asset placed in service on such date. The New
York basis for purposes of computing the depreciation deduction on  such
single  asset  shall  be  the net book value of such transition property
determined on the first day of the federal taxable year  ending  in  two
thousand  (or  on  the  date  any such property is placed in service, if
later) adjusted as provided in clause (B) of this subparagraph.
  (B) If transition property is sold or otherwise disposed of,  the  New
York basis of the single asset shall be reduced on the date of such sale
or  disposition  by the amount of the adjusted federal tax basis of such
property on such date.
  (C) The New York depreciation deduction allowed for any  taxable  year
with  respect to such single asset shall be computed using the straight-
line method, a twenty-year life, and a salvage value of zero.
  (D) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "net book value" means
cost reduced by accumulated depreciation shown on the books and  records
of the taxpayer and determined, in the case of a qualified power produc-
er,  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; and in
the case of a qualified pipeline,  in  accordance  with  the  taxpayer's
regulatory  reports  filed with the federal energy regulatory commission
or state department of public service.
  (d) The [tax commission] COMMISSIONER may, whenever necessary in order
properly to reflect the entire net income of any taxpayer, determine the
year or period in which  any  item  of  income  or  deduction  shall  be
included,  without  regard  to  the method of accounting employed by the
taxpayer[;].
  (e) The entire net income of any bridge commission created by  act  of
congress  to  construct  a bridge across an international boundary means
its gross income less the expense of maintaining and operating its prop-
erties, the annual interest upon its bonds and  other  obligations,  and
the  annual  charge  for  the retirement of such bonds or obligations at
maturity[;].
  [(f) A net operating loss deduction shall be allowed  which  shall  be
presumably  the  same  as the net operating loss deduction allowed under
section one hundred seventy-two of the internal revenue code,  or  which
would  have  been allowed if the taxpayer had not made an election under
subchapter s of chapter one of the internal revenue code, except that in
every instance where such deduction is allowed under this article:
  (1) any net operating loss  included  in  determining  such  deduction
shall  be  adjusted to reflect the inclusions and exclusions from entire
net income required by paragraphs (a), (b) and (g) hereof,
  (2) such deduction shall not include any net operating loss  sustained
during  any  taxable  year  beginning  prior  to January first, nineteen

S. 6359                            20                            A. 8559

hundred sixty-one, or during any taxable year in which the taxpayer  was
not subject to the tax imposed by this article,
  (3) such deduction shall not exceed the deduction for the taxable year
allowed  under  section  one hundred seventy-two of the internal revenue
code, or the deduction for  the  taxable  year  which  would  have  been
allowed  if  the taxpayer had not made an election under subchapter s of
chapter one of the internal revenue code,
  (4) in the case of a New York S corporation, such deduction shall  not
include  any  net  operating  loss sustained during a New York C year or
during a New York S year beginning prior to nineteen hundred ninety, and
in the case of a New  York  C  corporation,  such  deduction  shall  not
include  any  net  operating  loss  sustained  during a New York S year,
provided, however, a New York S year shall be treated as a taxable  year
for  purposes  of determining the number of taxable years to which a net
operating loss may be carried back or carried forward, and
  (5) the net operating loss deduction allowed under section one hundred
seventy-two of the internal revenue code  shall  for  purposes  of  this
paragraph  be  determined  as  if  the  taxpayer  had elected under such
section to relinquish the entire carryback period with  respect  to  net
operating  losses, except with respect to the first ten thousand dollars
of each of such losses, sustained during taxable years ending after June
thirtieth, nineteen hundred eighty-nine.
  (g) For taxable years commencing  prior  to  January  first,  nineteen
hundred eighty-seven, at the election of the taxpayer, a deduction shall
be allowed for expenditures paid or incurred during the taxable year for
the  construction,  reconstruction,  erection  or  improvement of either
industrial waste treatment facilities or air pollution  control  facili-
ties,  or,  with  respect to taxable years beginning on or after January
first, nineteen hundred seventy-seven and before January first, nineteen
hundred eighty-one, industrial waste treatment controlled process facil-
ities or air pollution controlled process facilities.
  (1) (A) (1) The term "industrial  waste  treatment  facilities"  shall
mean  facilities  for  the treatment, neutralization or stabilization of
industrial waste and other wastes (as the terms "industrial  waste"  and
"other  wastes"  are  defined  in  section  17-0105 of the environmental
conservation law) from a point immediately preceding the point  of  such
treatment,  neutralization  or  stabilization  to the point of disposal,
including the necessary pumping and transmitting facilities.
  (2) The term "industrial waste treatment controlled process  facility"
shall mean such portion of the cost of an industrial production facility
designed  for  the  purpose  of  obviating the need for industrial waste
treatment facilities as defined in item one  of  this  clause  as  shall
exceed the cost of an industrial production facility of equal production
capacity  which  if constructed would require industrial waste treatment
facilities to meet emission standards in compliance with the  provisions
of the environmental conservation law and the codes, rules, regulations,
permits  or orders issued pursuant thereto but only to the extent of the
cost of such industrial waste treatment facilities.
  (B) (1) The term "air pollution control facilities" shall mean facili-
ties which remove, reduce, or render less noxious air contaminants emit-
ted from an air contamination source (as the terms "air contaminant" and
"air contamination source" are defined in section 19-0107 of  the  envi-
ronmental conservation law) from a point immediately preceding the point
of  such  removal,  reduction  or rendering to the point of discharge of
air, meeting emission standards as  established  by  the  department  of
environmental  conservation, but excluding such facilities installed for

S. 6359                            21                            A. 8559

the primary purpose of salvaging materials which are usable in the manu-
facturing process or are marketable and excluding those facilities which
rely for their efficacy on dilution, dispersion or assimilation  of  air
contaminants  in the ambient air after emission. Such term shall further
include flue gas desulfurization equipment and attendant sludge disposal
facilities, fluidized bed boilers, precombustion coal  cleaning  facili-
ties  or  other  facilities that conform with this subdivision and which
comply with the provisions of the state acid deposition control act  set
forth  in  title nine of article nineteen of the environmental conserva-
tion law.
  (2) The term "air pollution controlled process  facility"  shall  mean
such  portion  of the cost of an industrial production facility designed
for the purpose of obviating the need for air pollution control  facili-
ties  as  defined in item one of this clause as shall exceed the cost of
an industrial production facility of equal productive capacity which  if
constructed  would  require  air  pollution  control facilities to inert
emission standards as established pursuant to  title  three  of  article
nineteen of the environmental conservation law but only to the extent of
the cost of such air pollution control facilities.
  (2) However, such deduction shall be allowed only
  (A)  with  respect to tangible property which is depreciable, pursuant
to section one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code,  having
a  situs in this state and used in the taxpayer's trade or business, the
construction, reconstruction, erection or improvement of which,  in  the
case  of industrial waste treatment facilities, is initiated on or after
January first, nineteen hundred sixty-five or which, in the case of  air
pollution  control  facilities,  is initiated on or after January first,
nineteen hundred sixty-six, or which in the  case  of  industrial  waste
treatment  controlled  process  facilities  or  air pollution controlled
process facilities is initiated on and  after  January  first,  nineteen
hundred seventy-seven, and
  (B) on condition that such facilities have been certified by the state
commissioner  of  environmental conservation or his designated represen-
tative, pursuant to section 19-0309 of  the  environmental  conservation
law,  as  complying  with  applicable  provisions  of  the environmental
conservation law, the public health law, the  state  sanitary  code  and
codes,  rules,  regulations,  permits or orders issued pursuant thereto,
and
  (C) on condition that entire net income for the taxable year  and  all
succeeding  taxable  years  be  computed without any deductions for such
expenditures or for depreciation or amortization of  the  same  property
other  than  the deductions allowed by this paragraph (g), except to the
extent that the basis of the property may  be  attributable  to  factors
other than such expenditures, or in case a deduction is allowable pursu-
ant to this paragraph for only a part of such expenditures, on condition
that  any  deduction  allowed  for  federal income tax purposes for such
expenditures or for depreciation or amortization of the same property be
proportionately reduced in computing entire net income for  the  taxable
year and all succeeding taxable years, and
  (D)  where  the  election provided for in paragraph (d) of subdivision
three of section two hundred ten of this chapter has not been  exercised
in respect to the same property.
  (3)  (A)  If  expenditures in respect to an industrial waste treatment
facility, an air pollution control facility, an industrial waste  treat-
ment  controlled process facility or an air pollution controlled process
facility have been deducted as provided herein and if within  ten  years

S. 6359                            22                            A. 8559

from  the  end  of  the taxable year in which such deduction was allowed
such property or any part thereof is used for  the  primary  purpose  of
salvaging materials which are usable in the manufacturing process or are
marketable,  the  taxpayer shall report such change of use in its report
for the first taxable year during which it occurs, and the  tax  commis-
sion  may  recompute  the  tax  for  the  year  or  years for which such
deduction was allowed and any  carryback  or  carryover  year,  and  may
assess  any  additional tax resulting from such recomputation within the
time fixed by paragraph nine of subsection (c) of  section  ten  hundred
eighty-three of this chapter.
  (B) If a deduction is allowed as herein provided for expenditures paid
or  incurred during any taxable year on the basis of a temporary certif-
icate of compliance issued pursuant to  the  environmental  conservation
law  and  if  the  taxpayer  fails  to obtain a permanent certificate of
compliance upon completion of the facilities with respect to which  such
temporary certificate was issued, the taxpayer shall report such failure
in  its  report  for  the  taxable year during which such facilities are
completed, and the tax commission may recompute the tax for the year  or
years  for  which such deduction was allowed and any carryback or carry-
over year, and may assess any additional  tax  resulting  from  in  such
recomputation  within the time fixed by paragraph nine of subsection (c)
of section ten hundred eighty-three.
  (C) If a deduction is allowed as herein provided for expenditures paid
or incurred during any taxable year  in  respect  to  an  air  pollution
control  facility  on  the  basis  of a certificate of compliance issued
pursuant to the environmental conservation law and  the  certificate  is
revoked pursuant to subdivision three of section 19-0309 of the environ-
mental  conservation  law,  the tax commission may recompute the tax for
the year or years for which the facility is not or was not in compliance
with the applicable provisions of the  environmental  conservation  law,
the  state sanitary code or codes, rules, regulations, permits or orders
promulgated pursuant thereto, and for which a deduction was allowed,  as
well  as for any carryback or carryover year to which such deduction was
carried, and may assess any additional tax resulting from such  recompu-
tation  within  the  time  fixed  by paragraph nine of subsection (c) of
section ten hundred eighty-three.
  (4) In any taxable year when property is sold  or  otherwise  disposed
of,  with respect to which a deduction has been allowed pursuant to this
paragraph, such deduction shall be  disregarded  in  computing  gain  or
loss,  and  the  gain  or  loss on the sale or other disposition of such
property shall be the gain or loss  entering  into  the  computation  of
entire  taxable  income  which the taxpayer is required to report to the
United States treasury department for such taxable year.]
  (h) If the period covered by a report under this article is other than
the period covered by the report to the United States  treasury  depart-
ment,
  (1)  except  as provided in subparagraph two hereof, entire net income
shall be determined by multiplying the taxable income reported  to  such
department  (as  adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this article) by
the number of calendar months or major  parts  thereof  covered  by  the
report  under this article and dividing by the number of calendar months
or major parts thereof covered by the report to such department.  If  it
shall  appear that such method of determining entire net income does not
properly reflect the taxpayer's income during the period covered by  the
report  under  this  article, the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER shall be
authorized in its discretion to determine such entire net income  solely

S. 6359                            23                            A. 8559

on  the  basis of the taxpayer's income during the period covered by its
report under this article[;].
  (2)  [in]  IN  the  case  of  a  New York S termination year, an equal
portion of entire net income shall be assigned to each day of such year.
The portion of such entire net income thereby assigned to  the  S  short
year  and  the  C short year shall be included in the respective reports
for the S short year and the C short year under this  article.  However,
where paragraph three of subsection (s) of section six hundred twelve of
this  chapter applies, the portion of such entire net income assigned to
the S short year and the C short year shall be determined  under  normal
tax accounting rules.
  (i)  With respect to a DISC which during any taxable year or reporting
year (1) received more than five percent of its  gross  sales  from  the
sale  of  inventory or other property which it purchased from its stock-
holders, (2) received more than five percent of its gross  rentals  from
the  rental of property which it purchased or rented from its stockhold-
ers or (3) received more than five percent of its total  receipts  other
than  sales  and rentals from its stockholders, the following provisions
shall apply.
  (A) For any taxable year in which sub-paragraph (B) of this  paragraph
is  in  effect  and  not rendered invalid, a DISC meeting the above test
shall be exempt from all taxes imposed by this article.
  (B) Supplemental to the provisions of subdivision five of section  two
hundred  eleven  of this article, any taxpayer required to compute a tax
under this article, which during the taxable year being reported  was  a
stockholder  in  any DISC meeting the test prescribed in this paragraph,
shall for any taxable year ending after December thirty-first,  nineteen
hundred  seventy-one  adjust each item of its receipts, expenses, assets
and liabilities, as otherwise computed under  this  article,  by  adding
thereto  its  attributable share of each such DISC's receipts, expenses,
assets and liabilities as reportable by each such  DISC  to  the  United
States Treasury Department for its annual reporting period ending during
the  current  taxable year of such taxpayer; provided, however, (1) that
all transactions between the taxpayer and each such DISC shall be elimi-
nated from  the  taxpayer's  adjusted  receipts,  expenses,  assets  and
liabilities;  (2)  that  the  taxpayer's  entire net income as otherwise
computed under this section, shall be reduced by subtracting the  amount
of  the  deemed  distribution  of current income, if any, from each such
DISC already included in the entire  net  income  of  such  taxpayer  by
virtue  of  having  been  included in its entire taxable income for that
taxable year as reported to the United States Treasury  Department;  and
(3)  that  in  the  event this paragraph should be rendered invalid, all
DISC's and their stockholders taxable hereunder shall be  taxed  instead
under the remaining portions of this article.

code the depreciation deduction  allowable  under  section  one  hundred
sixty-seven  of  the  internal  revenue  code as such section would have
applied to property placed in service on December thirty-first, nineteen
hundred eighty. This paragraph shall not apply to property of a taxpayer
principally  engaged  in the conduct of aviation (other than air freight
forwarders acting as principal and like indirect air carriers) which  is
placed  in  service  before  taxable years beginning in nineteen hundred
eighty-nine.
  (k) QSSS. (1) New York S corporation. In the case  of  a  New  York  S
corporation  which  is the parent of a qualified subchapter S subsidiary
(QSSS) with respect to a taxable year:
  (A) where the QSSS is not an excluded corporation,
  (i) in determining the entire net income of such  parent  corporation,
all  assets,  liabilities,  income  and  deductions of the QSSS shall be
treated as assets, liabilities, income  and  deductions  of  the  parent
corporation, and
  (ii)  the QSSS shall be exempt from all taxes imposed by this article,
and
  (B) where the QSSS is an excluded corporation, the entire  net  income

corporation, and
  (ii) the QSSS shall be exempt from all taxes imposed by this  article,
and
  (B) where the QSSS is not a taxpayer,

deductions of the parent corporation, and
  (ii) in the absence of such election, or where the QSSS is an excluded
corporation,  the  entire  net income of the parent corporation shall be
determined as if the federal QSSS election had not been made.
  (3) Non-New York S corporation not excluded.  In  the  case  of  an  S
corporation which is not a taxpayer and not an excluded corporation, and
which  is  the parent of a QSSS which is a taxpayer, the shareholders of
the parent corporation shall be entitled to make the New York S election
under subsection (a) of section six hundred sixty of this chapter.
  (A) For any taxable year for which such election  is  in  effect,  the
parent  corporation  shall be subject to tax under this article as a New
York S corporation, and the provisions of clause (A) of subparagraph one
of this paragraph shall apply.
  (B) For any taxable year for which such election is not in effect, the
QSSS shall be a New York C corporation, and the entire net income of the
QSSS shall be determined as if the federal QSSS election  had  not  been

er.

an  excluded  corporation  and  which is the parent of a QSSS which is a

S. 6359                            25                            A. 8559

taxpayer, the QSSS shall be a New York C corporation and the  provisions

of a qualified emerging technologies investment held for more than thir-
ty-six months and with respect to which the taxpayer elects the applica-
tion of this paragraph, gain from such sale shall be recognized only  to
the extent that the amount realized on such sale exceeds the cost of any
qualified  emerging  technologies  investment  purchased by the taxpayer
during the three hundred sixty-five-day period beginning on the date  of
such  sale,  reduced  by  any portion of such cost previously taken into
account under this paragraph. For purposes of this paragraph the follow-
ing shall apply:
  (1) A qualified investment is stock of a corporation or  an  interest,
other  than as a creditor, in a partnership or limited liability company
that was acquired by the taxpayer as provided in Internal Revenue Code S
1202(c)(1)(B), except that the reference to the  term  "stock"  in  such
section  shall be read as "investment," or by the taxpayer from a person
who had acquired such stock or interest in such a manner.
  (2) A qualified emerging technology investment is a qualified  invest-
ment, that was held by the taxpayer for at least thirty-six months, in a
company  defined  in paragraph (c) of subdivision one of section thirty-
one hundred two-e of the public authorities law or an  investment  in  a
partnership  or limited liability company that is taxed as a partnership
to the extent that such partnership or limited liability company invests
in qualified emerging technology companies.
  (3) For purposes of determining whether  the  nonrecognition  of  gain
under  this  subsection  applies  to  a  qualified emerging technologies
investment that is sold, the taxpayer's holding period for such  invest-
ment   and  the  qualified  emerging  technologies  investment  that  is
purchased shall be determined without regard to Internal Revenue Code  S
1223.
  (m)  Amounts deferred. The amount deferred under paragraph (l) of this
subdivision shall be added to entire net income when the reinvestment in
the New York qualified emerging technology  company  which  qualified  a
taxpayer for such deferral is sold.
  [(n) Qualified gas transportation contracts.
  (1) Any tax paid under this article allocable to receipts attributable
to  a  "qualified  gas  transportation contract" shall be deemed to have
been paid under article nine of this chapter for all purposes of law for
taxable years commencing  on  or  after  January  first,  two  thousand,

S. 6359                            26                            A. 8559

computed as hereinafter provided, if all of the following conditions are
met:
  (i)  For  periods  ending  prior  to  January first, two thousand, the
taxpayer paid the franchise tax due under section  one  hundred  eighty-
four of this chapter.
  (ii)  For  the  taxable  year,  all  of the receipts from the pipeline
transportation of natural gas attributable to the taxpayer and  included
in  the  taxpayer's entire net income (without regard to this paragraph)
are solely from the transportation of natural gas for wholesale  custom-
ers and commercial retail customers.
  (iii)  The  taxpayer's  franchise tax liability under this article for
the taxable year (computed without regard to this paragraph)  is  deter-
mined  under paragraph (a) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten
of this article, and such tax liability (without regard  to  this  para-
graph)  is  greater  than the liability the taxpayer would have incurred
under sections one hundred eighty-three and one hundred  eighty-four  of
this  chapter  (as such sections existed on December thirty-first, nine-
teen hundred ninety-nine) based on the same taxable period.
  (iv) The taxpayer is  a  party  to  a  "qualified  gas  transportation
contract," as defined herein.
  (2)  The provisions of this paragraph shall apply only for the taxable
years during which such qualified gas transportation contract is in full
force and effect, and shall apply only to the receipts of  the  taxpayer
less  any  expenses of the taxpayer (but not less than zero), during the
taxable year, to the extent included in entire  net  income,  which  are
attributable   to  any  such  qualified  gas  transportation  contracts.
Provided, further, in any event, the  characterization  hereunder  shall
expire  and be of no further force and effect for taxable years commenc-
ing on or after January first, two thousand fifteen.
  (3) The term "qualified gas  transportation  contract"  shall  mean  a
service  agreement for the transportation of natural gas for an end-user
which is a qualified cogeneration facility with a rated capacity of  one
thousand  megawatts  or  more, which (i) was entered into before January
first, two thousand, and was in full force and effect and binding on the
parties thereto as of such date, (ii) as originally executed, was for  a
term of at least twenty years, and (iii) the terms of which prohibit the
pass-through  to  such  customer of the franchise tax imposed under this
article, while allowing the recovery of the gross earnings  tax  imposed
under  section one hundred eighty-four of this chapter. A contract shall
not qualify as a qualified gas transportation contract if there is:  (i)
any  renewal  or  extension of an otherwise qualified gas transportation
contract occurring on or after January first, two thousand, or (ii)  any
material amendment to, or supplementation of, an otherwise qualified gas
transportation  contract on or after such date. Such renewal, extension,
or material amendment or supplementation shall have the same  force  and
effect  of terminating the characterization hereunder as if the qualify-
ing contract had expired by its own terms.
  (o)] (N-1) For taxable years beginning  after  December  thirty-first,
two  thousand  two, in the case of qualified property described in para-
graph two of subsection k of section 168 of the internal  revenue  code,
other than qualified resurgence zone property described in paragraph (q)
of  this  subdivision,  and  other  than qualified New York Liberty Zone
property described in paragraph two of subsection b of section 1400L  of
the  internal revenue code (without regard to clause (i) of subparagraph
(C) of such paragraph), which was placed in service  on  or  after  June
first,  two  thousand three, a taxpayer shall be allowed with respect to

S. 6359                            27                            A. 8559

such property the depreciation deduction allowable under section 167  of
the  internal  revenue  code  as such section would have applied to such
property had it been acquired by the taxpayer on  September  tenth,  two
thousand one.
  (o)  Related  members  expense  add back. (1) Definitions. (A) Related
member. "Related member" means a related person as defined  in  subpara-
graph  (c)  of paragraph three of subsection (b) of section four hundred
sixty-five of the internal revenue code,  except  that  "fifty  percent"
shall be substituted for "ten percent".
  (B)  Effective  rate  of tax. "Effective rate of tax" means, as to any
state or U.S. possession, the maximum statutory rate of tax  imposed  by
the  state or possession on or measured by a related member's net income
multiplied by the apportionment percentage, if any,  applicable  to  the
related member under the laws of said jurisdiction. For purposes of this
definition, the effective rate of tax as to any state or U.S. possession
is  zero  where  the  related  member's net income tax liability in said
jurisdiction is reported on a combined or consolidated return  including
both the taxpayer and the related member where the reported transactions
between  the  taxpayer  and the related member are eliminated or offset.
Also, for purposes of this definition, when computing the effective rate
of tax for a jurisdiction in which a  related  member's  net  income  is
eliminated or offset by a credit or similar adjustment that is dependent
upon  the related member either maintaining or managing intangible prop-
erty or collecting interest income in  that  jurisdiction,  the  maximum
statutory rate of tax imposed by said jurisdiction shall be decreased to
reflect  the statutory rate of tax that applies to the related member as
effectively reduced by such credit or similar adjustment.
  (C) Royalty payments. Royalty payments are payments directly connected
to the acquisition, use, maintenance  or  management,  ownership,  sale,
exchange,  or any other disposition of licenses, trademarks, copyrights,
trade names, trade dress, service  marks,  mask  works,  trade  secrets,
patents  and  any other similar types of intangible assets as determined
by  the  commissioner,  and  include  amounts  allowable   as   interest
deductions under section one hundred sixty-three of the internal revenue
code  to the extent such amounts are directly or indirectly for, related
to or in connection with the acquisition, use,  maintenance  or  manage-
ment,  ownership,  sale,  exchange  or  disposition  of  such intangible
assets.
  (D) Valid Business Purpose. A valid business purpose is  one  or  more
business  purposes,  other  than the avoidance or reduction of taxation,
which alone or in combination constitute the primary motivation for some
business activity or transaction, which activity or transaction  changes
in  a  meaningful  way, apart from tax effects, the economic position of
the taxpayer. The economic position of the taxpayer includes an increase
in the market share of the taxpayer, or the entry by the  taxpayer  into
new business markets.
  (2) Royalty expense add backs. (A) Except where a taxpayer is included
in  a combined report with a related member pursuant to subdivision four
of section two hundred eleven  of  this  article,  for  the  purpose  of
computing entire net income or other applicable taxable basis, a taxpay-
er  must add back royalty payments directly or indirectly paid, accrued,
or incurred in connection with one or more  direct  or  indirect  trans-
actions  with one or more related members during the taxable year to the
extent deductible in calculating federal taxable income.
  (B) Exceptions. (i) The adjustment required in  this  paragraph  shall
not apply to the portion of the royalty payment that the taxpayer estab-

S. 6359                            28                            A. 8559

lishes,  by  clear  and  convincing evidence of the type and in the form
specified by the commissioner, meets all of the following  requirements:
(I) the related member was subject to tax in this state or another state
or  possession of the United States or a foreign nation or some combina-
tion thereof on a tax base  that  included  the  royalty  payment  paid,
accrued  or incurred by the taxpayer; (II) the related member during the
same taxable year directly or indirectly paid, accrued or incurred  such
portion  to  a person that is not a related member; and (III) the trans-
action giving rise to the royalty payment between the taxpayer  and  the
related member was undertaken for a valid business purpose.
  (ii)  The adjustment required in this paragraph shall not apply if the
taxpayer establishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the  type  and
in  the form specified by the commissioner, that: (I) the related member
was subject to tax on or measured by its net income  in  this  state  or
another  state  or  possession  of the United States or some combination
thereof; (II) the tax base for said tax  included  the  royalty  payment
paid,  accrued  or  incurred  by  the  taxpayer; and (III) the aggregate
effective rate of tax applied to the related member in  those  jurisdic-
tions  is  no less than eighty percent of the statutory rate of tax that
applied to the taxpayer under section two hundred ten  of  this  article
for the taxable year.
  (iii)  [The  adjustment  required in this paragraph shall not apply if
the taxpayer establishes, by clear and convincing evidence of  the  type
and  in  the  form  specified by the commissioner, that: (I) the royalty
payment was paid, accrued or incurred  to  a  related  member  organized
under  the  laws  of  a  country  other than the United States; (II) the
related member's income from the transaction was subject to a comprehen-
sive income tax treaty between such country and the United States; (III)
the related member was subject to tax in a foreign nation on a tax  base
that  included  the  royalty  payment  paid,  accrued or incurred by the
taxpayer; (IV) the related member's  income  from  the  transaction  was
taxed in such country at an effective rate of tax at least equal to that
imposed  by this state; and (V) the royalty payment was paid, accrued or
incurred pursuant to a transaction that was undertaken for a valid busi-
ness purpose and using terms that reflect an arm's length relationship.
  (iv)] The adjustment required in this paragraph shall not apply if the
taxpayer and the commissioner agree in writing to the application or use
of alternative adjustments or computations. The commissioner may, in his
or her discretion, agree  to  the  application  or  use  of  alternative
adjustments or computations when he or she concludes that in the absence
of  such  agreement  the  income  of  the taxpayer would not be properly
reflected.
  (p) For taxable years beginning after December thirty-first, two thou-
sand two, upon the disposition of  property  to  which  paragraph  [(o)]
(N-1) of this subdivision applies, the amount of any gain or loss inclu-
dible  in  entire net income shall be adjusted to reflect the inclusions
and exclusions from entire net income pursuant to subparagraph seventeen
of paragraph (a) and subparagraph seventeen of  paragraph  (b)  of  this
subdivision attributable to such property.
  (q)  For  purposes  of paragraphs [(o)] (N-1) and (p) of this subdivi-
sion, qualified resurgence zone property shall mean  qualified  property
described  in paragraph two of subsection k of section 168 of the inter-
nal revenue code substantially all of the use of which is in the  resur-
gence zone, as defined below, and is in the active conduct of a trade or
business  by the taxpayer in such zone, and the original use of which in
the resurgence zone commences with the taxpayer after  December  thirty-

first,  two thousand two. The resurgence zone shall mean the area of New
York county bounded on the south by a line running from the intersection
of the Hudson River with the Holland Tunnel, and running thence east  to
Canal  Street,  then running along the centerline of Canal Street to the
intersection of the Bowery and Canal Street, running thence in a  south-
easterly  direction  diagonally  across  Manhattan  Bridge Plaza, to the
Manhattan Bridge and thence along the centerline of the Manhattan Bridge
to the point where the centerline of the Manhattan Bridge  would  inter-
sect  with the easterly bank of the East River, and bounded on the north
by a line running from the intersection of the  Hudson  River  with  the
Holland  Tunnel and running thence north along West Avenue to the inter-
section of Clarkson Street then running east  along  the  centerline  of
Clarkson  Street  to the intersection of Washington Avenue, then running
south along the centerline of Washington Avenue to the  intersection  of
West  Houston  Street,  then  east  along the centerline of West Houston
Street, then at the intersection of the Avenue of the Americas  continu-
ing  east  along  the  centerline of East Houston Street to the easterly

sion, and (C) in the case of a  qualified  homeowners  association,  the
[sum  of (1) the] highest of the amounts prescribed in paragraphs (a)[,]
AND (b) [and (c)] of this subdivision [and (2) the amount prescribed  in
paragraph  (e) of this subdivision]. For purposes of this paragraph, the

as  such term is defined in subsection (c) of section five hundred twen-
ty-eight of the internal revenue code without regard to subparagraph (E)
of paragraph one of such subsection (relating to elections to  be  taxed
pursuant  to  such section), which has no homeowners association taxable

Provided,  however, that in the case of a small business taxpayer (other
than a New York S corporation) as  defined  in  paragraph  (f)  of  this
subdivision, FOR TAXABLE YEARS BEGINNING BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOU-
SAND  SIXTEEN,  if the amount prescribed in such paragraph (b) is higher
than the amount prescribed in such paragraph (a) solely by reason of the
application of the rate applicable to  small  business  taxpayers,  then
with  respect  to  such  taxpayer  the  tax  referred to in the previous
sentence shall be [the sum of (1) the highest]  HIGHER  of  the  amounts
prescribed in paragraphs (a)[, (c)] and (d) of this subdivision [and (2)
the amount prescribed in paragraph (e) of this subdivision].
  (a)  [Entire  net]  BUSINESS income base. [For taxable years beginning
before July first, nineteen hundred ninety-nine, the  amount  prescribed
by  this  paragraph shall be computed at the rate of nine percent of the
taxpayer's entire net income base. For  taxable  years  beginning  after
June  thirtieth, nineteen hundred ninety-nine and before July first, two
thousand, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be  computed  at
the  rate  of  eight  and  one-half percent of the taxpayer's entire net
income base. For taxable years beginning after June thirtieth, two thou-

two thousand [seven] SIXTEEN, the amount prescribed  by  this  paragraph
shall  be  computed  at  the  rate of seven and one-tenth percent of the
taxpayer's [entire net] BUSINESS income base. FOR TAXABLE  YEARS  BEGIN-
NING  ON  OR  AFTER  JANUARY  FIRST,  TWO  THOUSAND  SIXTEEN, THE AMOUNT
PRESCRIBED BY THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE SIX AND ONE-HALF  PERCENT  OF  THE
TAXPAYER'S  BUSINESS  INCOME  BASE. The taxpayer's [entire net] BUSINESS
income base shall mean the portion of the taxpayer's [entire net]  BUSI-
NESS income allocated within the state as hereinafter provided[, subject
to  any  modification  required by paragraphs (d) and (e) of subdivision
three of this section]. However, in the case of a small business taxpay-
er, as  defined  in  paragraph  (f)  of  this  subdivision,  the  amount
prescribed  by this paragraph shall be computed pursuant to subparagraph
(iv) of this paragraph and in the case of a manufacturer, as defined  in
subparagraph (vi) of this paragraph, the amount prescribed by this para-
graph shall be computed pursuant to subparagraph (vi) of this paragraph.

quarter percent of the excess of the entire net income base  over  three
hundred  fifty  thousand dollars but not over three hundred ninety thou-
sand dollars;]
  (iv) for taxable years beginning [on or after] BEFORE  January  first,
two  thousand  [seven] SIXTEEN, if the [entire net] BUSINESS income base

  (v) if the taxable period to which [subparagraphs  (i),  (ii),  (iii),
and]  SUBPARAGRAPH  (iv)  of this paragraph [apply] APPLIES is less than

taxpayer's taxable year;
  (E) Divide the result obtained in (D) by twelve.
  (vi) except as otherwise provided in this subparagraph or subparagraph

thirty-first, two thousand seven, the amount prescribed  by  this  para-
graph  for  a  taxpayer  which  is a qualified New York manufacturer, as

beginning on or after January first,  two  thousand  twelve  and  before
January first, two thousand fifteen, the amount prescribed by this para-
graph for a taxpayer which is an eligible qualified New York manufactur-
er shall be computed at the rate of three and one-quarter (3.25) percent
of the taxpayer's entire net income base.  The commissioner shall estab-
lish  guidelines  and  criteria  that  specify  requirements  by which a
manufacturer may  be  classified  as  an  eligible  qualified  New  York

S. 6359                            44                            A. 8559

manufacturer. Criteria may include but not be limited to factors such as
regional unemployment, the economic impact that manufacturing has on the
surrounding  community,  population decline within the region and median
income within the region in which the manufacturer is located. In estab-
lishing  these  guidelines and criteria, the commissioner shall endeavor
that the total annual cost of the lower rates shall not  exceed  twenty-
five million dollars.]
  For  a  qualified  New  York  manufacturer,  as defined in subdivision
fifteen of section two hundred eight of this article, the rate at  which
the  tax  is  computed in effect for taxable years beginning on or after
January first, two thousand thirteen and before January first, two thou-
sand fourteen for qualified New York manufacturers shall be  reduced  by
nine  and  two-tenths  percent  for taxable years commencing on or after
January first, two thousand fourteen and before January first, two thou-
sand fifteen, twelve and three-tenths percent for taxable years commenc-
ing on or after January first, two thousand fifteen and  before  January
first, two thousand sixteen, fifteen and four-tenths percent for taxable
years  commencing  on  or  after January first, two thousand sixteen and

teen.
  (vii)  For a qualified New York manufacturer that has an apportionment
factor for purposes of  the  metropolitan  transportation  business  tax
surcharge  computed  pursuant  to subdivision two of section two hundred
nine-B of this article equal to zero for the taxable  year,  the  amount
prescribed  by  this  paragraph  for taxable years beginning on or after
January first, two thousand fourteen shall be computed at  the  rate  of
zero percent of the taxpayer's entire net income base.
  (VIII)  IN  COMPUTING  THE  BUSINESS INCOME BASE, A NET OPERATING LOSS
DEDUCTION SHALL BE ALLOWED. A NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION IS THE AMOUNT
OF NET OPERATING LOSS OR LOSSES FROM ONE OR MORE TAXABLE YEARS THAT  ARE
CARRIED FORWARD TO A PARTICULAR INCOME YEAR. A NET OPERATING LOSS IS THE
AMOUNT  OF  A BUSINESS LOSS INCURRED IN A PARTICULAR TAX YEAR MULTIPLIED
BY THE APPORTIONMENT FACTOR FOR THAT YEAR AS  DETERMINED  UNDER  SECTION
TWO  HUNDRED  TEN-A OF THIS ARTICLE. THE MAXIMUM NET OPERATING DEDUCTION
THAT IS ALLOWED IN A TAXABLE YEAR IS THE AMOUNT THAT REDUCES THE TAXPAY-
ER'S TAX ON ALLOCATED BUSINESS INCOME TO THE HIGHER OF THE  TAX  ON  THE
CAPITAL  BASE  OR  THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM. SUCH DEDUCTION AND LOSS ARE
DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING:
  (1) SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION IS NOT  LIMITED  TO  THE  AMOUNT
ALLOWED  UNDER  SECTION  ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-TWO OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE
CODE OR THE AMOUNT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED IF THE TAXPAYER HAD  NOT
MADE  AN  ELECTION  UNDER  SUBCHAPTER  S  OF CHAPTER ONE OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE.
  (2) SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY NET  OPER-
ATING  LOSS  INCURRED DURING ANY TAXABLE YEAR BEGINNING PRIOR TO JANUARY
FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN, OR DURING ANY TAXABLE  YEAR  IN  WHICH  THE
TAXPAYER WAS NOT SUBJECT TO THE TAX IMPOSED BY THIS ARTICLE.
  (3) A TAXPAYER THAT FILES AS PART OF A FEDERAL CONSOLIDATED RETURN BUT
ON  A  SEPARATE  BASIS  FOR  PURPOSES  OF  THIS ARTICLE MUST COMPUTE ITS
DEDUCTION AND LOSS AS IF IT WERE FILING ON A SEPARATE BASIS FOR  FEDERAL
INCOME TAX PURPOSES.
  (4) A NET OPERATING LOSS MUST BE CARRIED FORWARD TO EACH OF THE TWENTY
TAXABLE  YEARS  FOLLOWING  THE TAXABLE YEAR OF THE LOSS. NO CARRYBACK OF
THE NET OPERATING LOSS IS ALLOWED. A TAXPAYER MUST APPLY BOTH  OF  THESE
LIMITATIONS IN COMPUTING SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION.

S. 6359                            45                            A. 8559

  (5)  SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY NET OPER-
ATING LOSS INCURRED DURING A NEW YORK S YEAR; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,  A  NEW
YORK  S YEAR MUST BE TREATED AS A TAXABLE YEAR FOR PURPOSES OF DETERMIN-
ING THE NUMBER OF TAXABLE YEARS TO WHICH A NET  OPERATING  LOSS  MAY  BE
CARRIED FORWARD.
  (6)  WHERE  THERE  ARE  TWO OR MORE ALLOCATED NET OPERATING LOSSES, OR
PORTIONS THEREOF, CARRIED FORWARD TO BE DEDUCTED IN ONE  PARTICULAR  TAX
YEAR  FROM  ALLOCATED  BUSINESS  INCOME,  THE  EARLIEST  ALLOCATED  LOSS
INCURRED MUST BE APPLIED FIRST.
  (b) Capital base. (1) The [amount prescribed  by  this  paragraph  for
taxable  years  beginning before January first, two thousand eight shall
be computed at .178 percent for each  dollar  of  the  taxpayer's  total
business and investment capital, or the portion thereof allocated within
the  state  as  hereinafter  provided. For taxable years beginning on or
after January first, two thousand eight, the] amount prescribed by  this
paragraph  shall  be  computed  at .15  percent  for  each dollar of the
taxpayer's total business [and investment] capital, or the portion ther-
eof allocated within the state as hereinafter provided. However, in  the
case  of  a  cooperative  housing corporation as defined in the internal
revenue code, the applicable rate shall be .04 percent.    In  no  event
shall the amount prescribed by this paragraph exceed three hundred fifty
thousand  dollars for qualified New York manufacturers and for all other
taxpayers [ten] FIVE million dollars [for taxable years beginning on  or
after  January  first,  two thousand eight but before January first, two
thousand eleven and one million dollars for taxable years  beginning  on
or after January first, two thousand eleven].
  (2)  For  a qualified New York manufacturer, as defined in subdivision
fifteen of section two hundred eight of this article, the rate at  which
the  tax  is  computed in effect for taxable years beginning on or after
January first, two thousand thirteen and before January first, two thou-
sand fourteen shall be reduced by nine and two-tenths percent for  taxa-

hundred  ninety minimum taxable income base. For taxable years beginning
in nineteen hundred eighty-nine, the amount prescribed by this paragraph

  (B)  For  taxable years beginning on or after January first, two thou-
sand twelve and before January first, two thousand fifteen,  the  amount
prescribed by this paragraph for an eligible qualified New York manufac-
turer  shall  be  computed  at the rate of seventy-five hundredths (.75)

this  clause,  the term "eligible qualified New York manufacturer" shall
have the same meaning as in subparagraph (vi) of paragraph (a)  of  this
subdivision.
  (iii)  For  a  qualified New York manufacturer, as defined in subpara-
graph (vi) of paragraph (a) of this subdivision, the rate at  which  the

  (F)  a  gross  payroll  of  one  thousand  dollars or less, with total
receipts within and without this state of one thousand dollars or  less,
and the average value of the assets of which are one thousand dollars or

S. 6359                            47                            A. 8559

the  period  for  which  the taxpayer is subject to tax is more than six
months but not more than nine months and by fifty percent if the  period
for  which  the  taxpayer is subject to tax is not more than six months.
Provided,  however,  that in determining the amount of gross payroll and
total receipts for purposes of subparagraph one of this paragraph, where
the taxable year is less than twelve months, the amount of each shall be
determined by dividing the amount of each with respect  to  the  taxable
year  by  the  number of months in such taxable year and multiplying the
result by twelve. If the taxable year is less than  twelve  months,  the
amount  of  New  York receipts for purposes of subparagraph four of this
paragraph is determined by dividing the amount of the receipts  for  the
taxable year by the number of months in the taxable year and multiplying
the result by twelve.
  (4)  Notwithstanding  subparagraphs one and two of this paragraph, for
taxable years beginning on or after January first, two  thousand  eight,
the]  amount  prescribed  by  this paragraph for New York S corporations
will be determined in accordance with the following table:

FACTOR DETERMINED UNDER section TWO HUNDRED TEN-A for the taxable year.
  (2) IF THE TAXABLE YEAR IS LESS THAN TWELVE MONTHS, THE AMOUNT OF  NEW
YORK  RECEIPTS  IS DETERMINED BY DIVIDING THE AMOUNT OF THE RECEIPTS FOR
THE TAXABLE YEAR BY THE NUMBER OF MONTHS IN THE TAXABLE YEAR AND  MULTI-
PLYING  THE RESULT BY TWELVE. IN THE CASE OF A TERMINATION YEAR OF A NEW

er" pursuant to this subdivision; AND (IV) WHICH HAS AN  AVERAGE  NUMBER
OF INDIVIDUALS, EXCLUDING GENERAL EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, EMPLOYED FULL-TIME

FOR  PURPOSES  OF  SUBPARAGRAPH (II) OF THIS PARAGRAPH, THE AMOUNT TAKEN
INTO ACCOUNT WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROPERTY OTHER THAN MONEY SHALL BE  THE
AMOUNT  EQUAL  TO THE ADJUSTED BASIS TO THE CORPORATION OF SUCH PROPERTY
FOR DETERMINING GAIN, REDUCED BY ANY LIABILITY TO WHICH THE PROPERTY WAS
SUBJECT OR WHICH WAS ASSUMED BY THE CORPORATION. THE DETERMINATION UNDER
THE  PRECEDING  SENTENCE  SHALL  BE MADE AS OF THE TIME THE PROPERTY WAS
RECEIVED BY THE CORPORATION. FOR PURPOSES OF SUBPARAGRAPH (III) OF  THIS
SECTION,  "AVERAGE  NUMBER  OF  INDIVIDUALS, EXCLUDING GENERAL EXECUTIVE
OFFICERS, EMPLOYED FULL-TIME" SHALL  BE  COMPUTED  BY  ASCERTAINING  THE
NUMBER  OF SUCH INDIVIDUALS EMPLOYED BY THE TAXPAYER ON THE THIRTY-FIRST
DAY OF MARCH, THE THIRTIETH DAY OF JUNE, THE THIRTIETH DAY OF  SEPTEMBER
AND  THE  THIRTY-FIRST DAY OF DECEMBER DURING EACH TAXABLE YEAR OR OTHER
APPLICABLE PERIOD, BY ADDING TOGETHER THE  NUMBER  OF  SUCH  INDIVIDUALS
ASCERTAINED  ON  EACH  OF SUCH DATES AND DIVIDING THE SUM SO OBTAINED BY
THE NUMBER OF SUCH DATES OCCURRING WITHIN SUCH  TAXABLE  YEAR  OR  OTHER
APPLICABLE PERIOD. AN INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYED FULL-TIME MEANS AN EMPLOYEE IN
A  JOB CONSISTING OF AT LEAST THIRTY-FIVE HOURS PER WEEK, OR TWO OR MORE
EMPLOYEES WHO ARE IN JOBS THAT TOGETHER CONSTITUTE THE EQUIVALENT  OF  A
JOB   AT  LEAST  THIRTY-FIVE  HOURS  PER  WEEK  (FULL-TIME  EQUIVALENT).

this  subdivision  (other than the amount prescribed in the final clause
of subparagraph one of that paragraph (d)) (ii) reduced by  the  article
twenty-two  tax  equivalent;  provided,  however,  that  the amount thus
determined shall not be less than the lowest of the  amounts  prescribed
in  subparagraph  one  of that paragraph (d) (applying the provisions of
subparagraph three of that paragraph as necessary).  Provided,  however,
notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph, in taxable years begin-
ning  in  two  thousand  three and before two thousand eight, the amount
prescribed by this paragraph shall be the amount prescribed in  subpara-
graph one of that paragraph (d) (applying the provisions of subparagraph
three  of  that  paragraph as necessary) and applying the calculation of
that amount in the case of a termination year as set forth  in  subpara-
graph four of this paragraph as necessary. In taxable years beginning in
two  thousand  eight and thereafter, the amount prescribed by this para-
graph is] the amount prescribed in subparagraph four of  that  paragraph
(d) [(applying the provisions of subparagraph three of that paragraph as
necessary)] and applying the calculation of that amount in the case of a
termination  year as set forth in subparagraph four of this paragraph as
necessary.
  (2) [Article twenty-two tax equivalent. For  taxable  years  beginning
before  July first, nineteen hundred ninety-nine, the article twenty-two
tax equivalent is the amount computed under paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision by substituting for the rate therein the rate of  7.875  percent.

beginning after June thirtieth, two thousand one and before July  first,
two  thousand three, the article twenty-two tax equivalent is the amount
computed under paragraph (a) of this subdivision by substituting for the
rate therein the rate of 6.85 percent. For taxable years beginning after

for the rate therein the rate of 7.5 percent, and the article twenty-two
tax equivalent under paragraph (a) of this subdivision shall be computed
as follows:
  (i) if the entire net income base is not more than two  hundred  thou-
sand  dollars,  the  article  twenty-two  tax  equivalent  is the amount
computed under paragraph (a) of this subdivision by substituting for the
rate therein the rate of 7.45 percent;
  (ii) if the entire net income base is more than two  hundred  thousand
dollars  but  not  over two hundred ninety thousand dollars, the article
twenty-two tax equivalent shall be computed as the sum of  (I)  fourteen

percent of the first fifty thousand dollars in excess of the entire  net
income  base  over  two  hundred  thousand  dollars, and (III) three and
eighty-five hundredths percent of the excess, if any, of the entire  net
income base over two hundred fifty thousand dollars.
  (C)  For  taxable  years  beginning after June thirtieth, two thousand
three, the amount computed under paragraph (a) of this  subdivision,  as
referred  to in subparagraph one of this paragraph, shall be computed by
substituting for the rate therein the rate of 7.5 percent, and the arti-
cle twenty-two tax equivalent under paragraph (a)  of  this  subdivision
shall be computed as follows:
  (i)  if  the entire net income base is not more than two hundred thou-
sand dollars, the  article  twenty-two  tax  equivalent  is  the  amount
computed under paragraph (a) of this subdivision by substituting for the
rate therein the rate of 7.4725 percent;

thousand nine hundred forty-five dollars, (II)  7.1425  percent  of  the
first  fifty  thousand  dollars  in excess of the entire net income base
over two hundred thousand dollars,  and  (III)  5.4925  percent  of  the

THE  CREDIT  PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SUBDIVISION WHICH REPRESENTS THE RATIO
WHICH THE MONTHS OF QUALIFIED USE BEAR TO THE  TOTAL  NUMBER  OF  MONTHS
OVER  WHICH THE TAXPAYER CHOOSES TO DEDUCT THE PROPERTY UNDER THE INTER-
NAL REVENUE CODE. IF PROPERTY ON WHICH CREDIT HAS BEEN TAKEN IS DISPOSED
OF OR CEASES TO BE IN QUALIFIED USE PRIOR TO THE END OF THE PERIOD  OVER
WHICH  THE  TAXPAYER  CHOOSES  TO DEDUCT THE PROPERTY UNDER THE INTERNAL

REQUIREMENTS  DESCRIBED  IN  PARAGRAPH  (A)  OF  SUBDIVISION TWO OF THIS

  (B)(I) IN COMPUTING COMBINED BUSINESS INCOME, ALL INTERCORPORATE DIVI-
DENDS SHALL BE ELIMINATED, AND  ALL  OTHER  INTERCORPORATE  TRANSACTIONS
SHALL BE DEFERRED IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO THE RULES RELATING TO INTERCOM-
PANY  TRANSACTIONS  UNDER  SECTION  FIFTEEN  HUNDRED TWO OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE.
  (II) IN COMPUTING COMBINED CAPITAL, ALL INTERCORPORATE  STOCKHOLDINGS,

COMBINED  BUSINESS INCOME BASE. SUCH DEDUCTION MAY REDUCE THE TAX ON THE
COMBINED BUSINESS INCOME BASE TO THE HIGHER OF THE TAX ON  THE  COMBINED
CAPITAL  BASE OR THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM. A COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS

S. 6359                            105                           A. 8559

DEDUCTION IS EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS OR LOSS-
ES FROM ONE OR MORE TAXABLE YEARS THAT ARE CARRIED FORWARD TO A  PARTIC-
ULAR INCOME YEAR. A COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS IS THE COMBINED BUSINESS
LOSS  INCURRED  IN  A PARTICULAR TAXABLE YEAR MULTIPLIED BY THE COMBINED
APPORTIONMENT FRACTION FOR THAT YEAR DETERMINED AS PROVIDED IN  SUBDIVI-
SION FIVE OF THIS SECTION.
  (II)  THE COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION AND COMBINED NET OPER-
ATING LOSS ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN  CLAUSES  ONE

OF SECTION TWO HUNDRED TEN OF THIS ARTICLE.
  (III) IN THE CASE OF A  CORPORATION  THAT  FILES  A  COMBINED  REPORT,
EITHER  IN THE YEAR THE NET OPERATING LOSS IS INCURRED OR IN THE YEAR IN
WHICH A DEDUCTION IS CLAIMED ON ACCOUNT OF THE LOSS,  THE  COMBINED  NET
OPERATING  LOSS  DEDUCTION  IS  DETERMINED AS IF THE COMBINED GROUP IS A
SINGLE CORPORATION AND IS SUBJECT TO THE  SAME  LIMITATIONS  THAT  WOULD
APPLY  FOR  FEDERAL  INCOME TAX PURPOSES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
AND THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS AS IF SUCH CORPORATION HAD FILED FOR
SUCH TAXABLE YEAR A CONSOLIDATED FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN WITH THE SAME
CORPORATIONS INCLUDED IN THE COMBINED REPORT. IF A CORPORATION  FILES  A
COMBINED  REPORT,  REGARDLESS  OF  WHETHER IT FILED A SEPARATE RETURN OR
CONSOLIDATED RETURN FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES, THE  NET  OPERATING
LOSS  AND  NET  OPERATING  LOSS DEDUCTION FOR THE COMBINED GROUP MUST BE
COMPUTED AS IF THE CORPORATION HAD FILED A CONSOLIDATED RETURN  FOR  THE
SAME CORPORATIONS FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES.
  (IV) IN GENERAL, ANY NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYOVER FROM A YEAR IN WHICH
A COMBINED REPORT WAS FILED SHALL BE BASED ON THE COMBINED NET OPERATING
LOSS OF THE GROUP OF CORPORATIONS FILING SUCH REPORT. THE PORTION OF THE
COMBINED LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY MEMBER OF THE GROUP THAT FILES A SEPA-
RATE  REPORT FOR A SUCCEEDING TAXABLE YEAR WILL BE AN AMOUNT BEARING THE
SAME RELATION TO THE COMBINED LOSS AS THE NET  OPERATING  LOSS  OF  SUCH
CORPORATION  BEARS TO THE TOTAL NET OPERATING LOSS OF ALL MEMBERS OF THE
GROUP HAVING SUCH LOSSES TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY ARE TAKEN INTO  ACCOUNT
IN COMPUTING THE COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS.
  (E)  ANY  ELECTION  MADE PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (B) OF SUBDIVISION SIX,
AND PARAGRAPHS (B) AND (C) OF SUBDIVISION SIX-A OF SECTION  TWO  HUNDRED
EIGHT OF THIS ARTICLE SHALL APPLY TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP.
  (F)(I)  IN  THE  CASE  OF A CAPTIVE REIT OR CAPTIVE RIC REQUIRED UNDER
THIS SECTION TO BE INCLUDED IN A  COMBINED  REPORT,  ENTIRE  NET  INCOME
SHALL  BE  COMPUTED AS REQUIRED UNDER SUBDIVISION FIVE (IN THE CASE OF A
CAPTIVE REIT) OR SUBDIVISION SEVEN (IN THE CASE OF  A  CAPTIVE  RIC)  OF
SECTION  TWO  HUNDRED NINE OF THIS ARTICLE. HOWEVER, THE DEDUCTION UNDER
THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE FOR DIVIDENDS PAID  BY  THE  CAPTIVE  REIT  OR
CAPTIVE  RIC  TO  ANY  MEMBER  OF THE AFFILIATED GROUP THAT INCLUDES THE
CORPORATION THAT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OWNS OVER FIFTY PERCENT  OF  THE
VOTING  STOCK  OF  THE CAPTIVE REIT OR CAPTIVE RIC SHALL NOT BE ALLOWED.
FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SUBPARAGRAPH, THE  TERM  "AFFILIATED  GROUP"  MEANS
"AFFILIATED  GROUP"  AS  DEFINED  IN SECTION FIFTEEN HUNDRED FOUR OF THE
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO THE EXCEPTIONS PROVIDED FOR
IN SUBSECTION (B) OF THAT SECTION.
  (II) IN THE CASE OF A COMBINABLE CAPTIVE  INSURANCE  COMPANY  REQUIRED
UNDER  THIS  SECTION  TO  BE  INCLUDED  IN A COMBINED REPORT, ENTIRE NET
INCOME SHALL BE COMPUTED AS REQUIRED BY SUBDIVISION NINE OF SECTION  TWO
HUNDRED EIGHT OF THIS ARTICLE.

TIONMENT FACTOR FOR A COMBINED REPORT, THE  RECEIPTS,  NET  INCOME,  NET
GAINS  AND  OTHER ITEMS OF ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP, WHETHER OR

NOT THEY ARE A  TAXPAYER,  ARE  INCLUDED  AND  INTERCORPORATE  RECEIPTS,
INCOME  AND  GAINS  ARE  ELIMINATED. RECEIPTS, NET INCOME, NET GAINS AND
OTHER ITEMS ARE SOURCED AS PROVIDED IN SECTION TWO HUNDRED TEN-A OF THIS
ARTICLE.
  (B)  AN  ELECTION  MADE  TO APPORTION INCOME AND GAINS FROM QUALIFYING
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS PURSUANT TO SUBPARAGRAPH ONE OF PARAGRAPH  (A)  OF
SUBDIVISION  FIVE  OF  SECTION  TWO  HUNDRED TEN-A OF THIS ARTICLE SHALL
APPLY TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP.
  6. LIABILITY OF COMBINED GROUP MEMBERS. EVERY MEMBER OF  THE  COMBINED

  2-a.  The  [tax commission] COMMISSIONER may prescribe regulations and
instructions requiring returns of information to be made  and  filed  in
conjunction  with  the reports required to be filed pursuant to [section
two hundred eleven] THIS ARTICLE, relating to payments  made  to  share-
holders  owning,  directly  or indirectly, individually or in the aggre-
gate, more than fifty percent of the issued capital stock of the taxpay-
er, where such payments are treated  as  payments  of  interest  in  the
computation of entire net income [or minimum taxable income] reported on
such reports.
  3.  If  the  amount  of taxable income [or alternative minimum taxable
income] for any year of any taxpayer (including any taxpayer  which  has
elected  to  be  taxed under subchapter s of chapter one of the internal
revenue code), as returned to the United States treasury  department  is
changed  or  corrected  by the commissioner of internal revenue or other
officer of the United States or other competent authority,  or  where  a
renegotiation  of  a  contract  or  subcontract  with  the United States
results in a change in taxable income [or  alternative  minimum  taxable
income],  such  taxpayer  shall report such changed or corrected taxable
income [or alternative minimum taxable income], or the results  of  such
renegotiation,  within  ninety  days (or one hundred twenty days, in the
case of a taxpayer making a combined report under this article for  such
year)  after  the  final  determination  of such change or correction or
renegotiation, or as required by the commissioner, and shall concede the
accuracy of such determination or state wherein  it  is  erroneous.  The

S. 6359                            107                           A. 8559

allowance of a tentative carryback adjustment based upon a net operating
loss  carryback or net capital loss carryback pursuant to section sixty-
four hundred eleven of the internal revenue code, as amended,  shall  be
treated  as  a final determination for purposes of this subdivision. Any
taxpayer filing an amended return with such department shall  also  file
within ninety days (OR ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS, IN THE CASE OF A TAXPAY-
ER MAKING A COMBINED REPORT UNDER THIS ARTICLE FOR SUCH YEAR) thereafter
an amended report with the commissioner.
  4.  [(a)  Combined  reports permitted or required. Any taxpayer, which
owns or controls either directly or  indirectly  substantially  all  the
capital  stock  of  one or more other corporations, or substantially all
the capital stock of which is owned or  controlled  either  directly  or
indirectly  by  one or more other corporations or by interests which own
or control either directly or indirectly substantially all  the  capital
stock  of  one  or  more other corporations, (hereinafter referred to in
this paragraph as "related corporations"), shall make a combined  report
covering  any  related corporations if there are substantial intercorpo-
rate transactions among the  related  corporations,  regardless  of  the
transfer price for such intercorporate transactions. It is not necessary
that  there  be  substantial intercorporate transactions between any one
corporation and every other related corporation. It is necessary, howev-
er, that there be substantial intercorporate  transactions  between  the
taxpayer  and  a  related  corporation  or collectively, a group of such
related corporations. The report shall set forth such information as the
commissioner may require, subject to the provisions of subparagraphs one
through five of this paragraph.
  In determining whether there  are  substantial  intercorporate  trans-
actions, the commissioner shall consider and evaluate all activities and
transactions  of  the  taxpayer and its related corporations. Activities
and transactions that will be considered include, but  are  not  limited
to:  (i)  manufacturing,  acquiring  goods  or  property,  or performing
services, for related corporations; (ii)  selling  goods  acquired  from
related  corporations;  (iii)  financing  sales of related corporations;
(iv) performing related customer services using  common  facilities  and
employees for related corporations; (v) incurring expenses that benefit,
directly  or  indirectly,  one  or  more  related corporations, and (vi)
transferring assets,  including  such  assets  as  accounts  receivable,
patents or trademarks from one or more related corporations.
  (1)  Any  corporation  which owns or controls either directly or indi-
rectly substantially all the capital stock of a DISC not exempt from tax
under paragraph (i) of subdivision nine of section two hundred eight  of
this  article  shall be allowed, at the election of such corporation, to
make a report on a combined basis covering such DISC, but the failure of
such corporation to make such election shall not  prohibit  the  commis-
sioner  from  requiring  a combined report covering such corporation and
such DISC.
  (2)(i) No taxpayer may be permitted to make a  report  on  a  combined
basis  covering  any  such other corporations where such taxpayer or any
such other corporation  allocates  in  accordance  with  clause  (A)  of
subparagraph  seven of paragraph (a) of subdivision three of section two
hundred ten of this article (relating to aviation corporations) and such
taxpayer or any such other corporation does not so allocate, unless such
taxpayer or such other corporation is a qualified air freight  forwarder
with  respect  to such other corporation or such taxpayer, respectively,
and all taxpayers included on such combined report elect, by filing such

S. 6359                            108                           A. 8559

combined report,  to  have  such  qualified  air  freight  forwarder  so
included.
  (ii)  A  corporation is a qualified air freight forwarder with respect
to another corporation:
  (A) if it owns or controls either directly or indirectly  all  of  the
capital  stock of such other corporation, or if all of its capital stock
is owned or controlled either  directly  or  indirectly  by  such  other
corporation,  or  if  all  of  the capital stock of both corporations is
owned or controlled either directly or indirectly by the same interests,
  (B) if it is principally  engaged  in  the  business  of  air  freight
forwarding, and
  (C)  if  its air freight forwarding business is carried on principally
with the airline or airlines operated by such other corporation.
  (3) No taxpayer may be permitted to make a report on a combined  basis
covering  any  such  other  corporations where such taxpayer or any such
other corporation allocates in accordance  with  subparagraph  eight  of
paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision three of section two hundred ten of this
article (relating  to  railroad  and  trucking  corporations)  and  such
taxpayer or any such other corporation does not so allocate.
  (4)  Except  as  provided  in the first undesignated paragraph of this
paragraph, no combined report covering any corporation shall be required
unless the commissioner  deems  such  a  report  necessary,  because  of
inter-company transactions or some agreement, understanding, arrangement
or transaction referred to in subdivision five of this section, in order
properly to reflect the tax liability under this article.
  (5) A corporation organized under the laws of a country other than the
United  States  shall not be required or permitted to make a report on a
combined basis.
  (6) (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "closest  control-
ling stockholder" means the corporation that indirectly owns or controls
over fifty percent of the voting stock of a captive REIT or captive RIC,
is subject to tax under this article, article thirty-two or thirty-three
of  this  chapter  or  otherwise  required  to be included in a combined
return or report under this article, article thirty-two or  thirty-three
of  this  chapter,  and  is the fewest tiers of corporations away in the
ownership structure from the captive REIT or captive RIC.   The  commis-
sioner  is  authorized  to prescribe by regulation or published guidance
the criteria for determining the closest controlling stockholder.
  (ii) A captive REIT or a captive RIC must be included  in  a  combined
report  with  the  corporation that directly owns or controls over fifty
percent of the voting stock of the captive REIT or captive RIC  if  that
corporation  is  subject to tax or required to be included in a combined
report under this article.
  (iii) If over fifty percent of the voting stock of a captive  REIT  or
captive RIC is not directly owned or controlled by a corporation that is
subject  to  tax  or  required to be included in a combined report under
this article, then the captive REIT or captive RIC must be included in a
combined return or report with  the  corporation  that  is  the  closest
controlling stockholder of the captive REIT or captive RIC. If the clos-
est  controlling  stockholder  of  the  captive  REIT  or captive RIC is
subject to tax or otherwise required to be included in a combined report
under this article, then  the  captive  REIT  or  captive  RIC  must  be
included in a combined report under this article.
  (iv)  If  the  corporation  that  directly owns or controls the voting
stock of the captive REIT or captive RIC is  described  in  subparagraph
two,  three  or five of this paragraph as a corporation not permitted to

S. 6359                            109                           A. 8559

make a combined report, then the provisions  in  clause  (iii)  of  this
subparagraph  must  be  applied  to  determine  the corporation in whose
combined return or report the captive REIT  or  captive  RIC  should  be
included.  If,  under clause (iii) of this subparagraph, the corporation
that is the closest controlling  stockholder  of  the  captive  REIT  or
captive  RIC  is  described  in  subparagraph two, three or five of this
paragraph as a corporation not permitted to make a combined return, then
that corporation is deemed to not be in the ownership structure  of  the
captive  REIT  or  captive  RIC, and the closest controlling stockholder
will be determined without regard to that corporation.
  (v) If a captive REIT owns the stock of a  qualified  REIT  subsidiary
(as  defined in paragraph two of subsection (i) of section eight hundred
fifty-six of the internal revenue code), then the qualified REIT subsid-
iary must be included in a combined report with the captive REIT.
  (vi) If a captive REIT or a captive RIC is required under this subpar-
agraph to be included in a combined report with another corporation, and
that other corporation is also required to be  included  in  a  combined
report with another related corporation or corporations under this para-
graph, then the captive REIT or the captive RIC must be included in that
combined report with those corporations.
  (vii)  If  a  captive  REIT  or  a  captive  RIC is not required to be
included in a combined report with another corporation under clause (ii)
or (iii) of this  subparagraph,  or  in  a  combined  return  under  the
provisions of either subparagraph (v) of paragraph two of subsection (f)
of  section  fourteen hundred sixty-two or paragraph four of subdivision
(f) of section fifteen hundred fifteen of this chapter, then the captive
REIT or captive RIC is subject to the opening provisions of  this  para-
graph  and  the  provisions  of subparagraph four of this paragraph. The
captive REIT or captive RIC must be included in a combined report  under
this  article  with another corporation if either the substantial inter-
corporate transactions requirement in the  opening  provisions  of  this
paragraph or the inter-company transactions or agreement, understanding,
arrangement  or  transaction  requirement  of  subparagraph four of this
paragraph is satisfied and more than fifty percent of the  voting  stock
of  the  captive  REIT  or  the captive RIC and substantially all of the
capital stock of  that  other  corporation  are  owned  and  controlled,
directly or indirectly, by the same corporation.
  (7)  (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "closest control-
ling stockholder" means the corporation that indirectly owns or controls
over fifty percent of the voting stock  of  an  overcapitalized  captive
insurance company; is subject to tax under this article or article thir-
ty-two  of  this  chapter,  or is otherwise required to be included in a
combined return or report under this article or  article  thirty-two  of
this chapter; and is the fewest tiers of corporations away in the owner-
ship  structure from the overcapitalized captive insurance company.  The
commissioner is authorized to prescribe by regulation or published guid-
ance the criteria for determining the closest controlling stockholder.
  (ii) An overcapitalized captive insurance company must be included  in
a  combined  report  with the corporation that directly owns or controls
over fifty percent of the voting stock of  the  overcapitalized  captive
insurance  company  if that corporation is subject to tax or required to
be included in a combined report under this article.
  (iii) If over fifty percent of the voting stock of an  overcapitalized
captive  insurance  company  is  not  directly  owned or controlled by a
corporation that is subject to tax or  required  to  be  included  in  a
combined  report  under  this  article, then the overcapitalized captive

S. 6359                            110                           A. 8559

insurance company must be included in a combined return or  report  with
the corporation that is the closest controlling stockholder of the over-
capitalized captive insurance company. If the closest controlling stock-
holder  of  the  overcapitalized captive insurance company is subject to
tax or otherwise required to be included in a combined report under this
article, then the overcapitalized  captive  insurance  company  must  be
included in a combined report under this article.
  (iv)  If  the  corporation  that  directly owns or controls the voting
stock of the overcapitalized captive insurance company is  described  in
subparagraph  two, three, or five of this paragraph as a corporation not
permitted to make a combined report, then the provisions in clause (iii)
of this subparagraph must be applied to  determine  the  corporation  in
whose  combined  return  or report the overcapitalized captive insurance
company should be included. If, under clause (iii) of this subparagraph,
the corporation that is the closest controlling stockholder of the over-
capitalized captive insurance company is described in subparagraph  two,
three or five of this paragraph as a corporation not permitted to make a
combined return, then that corporation is deemed not to be in the owner-
ship structure of the overcapitalized captive insurance company, and the
closest  controlling  stockholder  will  be determined without regard to
that corporation.
  (v) If an overcapitalized captive insurance company is required  under
this  subparagraph  to  be  included  in  a combined report with another
corporation, and that other corporation is also required to be  included
in  a  combined  report with another related corporation or corporations
under this paragraph, then the overcapitalized captive insurance company
must be included in that combined report with those corporations.
  (vi) If an overcapitalized captive insurance company is  not  required
to  be  included  in  a  combined  report with another corporation under
clause (ii) or (iii) of this subparagraph, or in a combined return under
the provisions of subparagraph (v) of paragraph two of subsection (f) of
section fourteen hundred sixty-two of this chapter, then  the  overcapi-
talized  captive  insurance company is subject to the opening provisions
of this paragraph and the provisions of subparagraph four of this  para-
graph. The overcapitalized captive insurance company must be included in
a  combined report under this article with another corporation if either
the substantial intercorporate transactions requirement in  the  opening
provisions of this paragraph or the inter-company transactions or agree-
ment,  understanding, arrangement or transaction requirement of subpara-
graph four of this paragraph is satisfied,  and  both  more  than  fifty
percent  of  the  voting  stock of the overcapitalized captive insurance
company and substantially all of the capital stock of that other  corpo-
ration  are  owned  and  controlled, directly or indirectly, by the same
corporation.
  (b) Computation. (1) Tax. (i) In the case of a combined report the tax
shall be measured by the combined entire net  income,  combined  minimum
taxable  income,  combined  pre-nineteen  hundred ninety minimum taxable
income or combined capital, of all  the  corporations  included  in  the
report,  including  any  captive  REIT,  captive  RIC or overcapitalized
captive insurance company; provided, however, in no event shall the  tax
measured by combined capital exceed the limitation provided for in para-
graph (b) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten of this article.
  (ii)  In the case of a captive REIT or captive RIC required under this
subdivision to be included in a combined report, entire net income  must
be computed as required under subdivision five (in the case of a captive
REIT) or subdivision seven (in the case of a captive RIC) of section two

S. 6359                            111                           A. 8559

hundred  nine of this article. However, the deduction under the internal
revenue code for dividends paid by the captive REIT or  captive  RIC  to
any  member  of  the affiliated group that includes the corporation that
directly  or  indirectly  owns over fifty percent of the voting stock of
the captive REIT or captive RIC shall not be allowed for  taxable  years
beginning  on  or  after  January  first,  two  thousand eight. The term
"affiliated group"  means  "affiliated  group"  as  defined  in  section
fifteen hundred four of the internal revenue code, but without regard to
the exceptions provided for in subsection (b) of that section.
  (iii)  In  the  case  of  an overcapitalized captive insurance company
required under this subdivision to be included  in  a  combined  report,
entire  net  income  must be computed as required by subdivision nine of
section two hundred eight of this article.
  (2) Tax bases. In computing combined entire net income, combined mini-
mum taxable income or combined pre-nineteen hundred ninety minimum taxa-
ble income intercorporate dividends shall be  eliminated,  in  computing
combined  business  and  investment capital intercorporate stockholdings
and intercorporate bills, notes and accounts receivable and payable  and
other  intercorporate  indebtedness shall be eliminated and in computing
combined subsidiary capital intercorporate stockholdings shall be elimi-
nated, provided, however, that intercorporate dividends from a DISC or a
former DISC not exempt from tax under paragraph (i) of subdivision  nine
of  section two hundred eight of this article which are taxable as busi-
ness income under this article shall not be eliminated.
  (3) Air freight forwarders: allocation. Notwithstanding any  provision
of law to the contrary, where a combined report includes a qualified air
freight  forwarder  and a corporation described in subparagraph seven of
paragraph (a) of subdivision three of section two hundred  ten  of  this
chapter  (relating  to aviation corporations), in computing the combined
business allocation percentage such subparagraph seven shall be  applied
with  respect  to  such  qualified air freight forwarder] FOR PROVISIONS
RELATING TO COMBINED REPORTS, SEE SECTION  TWO  HUNDRED  TEN-C  OF  THIS
ARTICLE.
  5.  In  case it shall appear to the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER that
any agreement, understanding or arrangement exists between the  taxpayer
and  any  other corporation or any person or firm, whereby the activity,
business, income or capital of the taxpayer within the state is  improp-
erly  or  inaccurately  reflected,  the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER is
authorized and empowered, in [its] THE COMMISSIONER'S discretion and  in
such  manner  as [it] THE COMMISSIONER may determine, to adjust items of
income, deductions and capital, and to eliminate assets in computing any
[allocation] APPORTIONMENT percentage  provided  only  that  any  income
directly  traceable  thereto  be  also  excluded from entire net income,
[minimum taxable income or pre-nineteen hundred ninety  minimum  taxable
income,]  so  as  equitably to determine the tax. Where (a) any taxpayer
conducts its activity or business under any  agreement,  arrangement  or
understanding in such manner as either directly or indirectly to benefit
its  members  or  stockholders, or any of them, or any person or persons
directly or indirectly interested  in  such  activity  or  business,  by
entering  into  any transaction at more or less than a fair price which,
but for such agreement, arrangement or understanding,  might  have  been
paid or received therefor, or (b) any taxpayer, a substantial portion of
whose  capital  stock  is owned either directly or indirectly by another
corporation, enters into any transaction with such other corporation  on
such terms as to create an improper loss or net income, the [tax commis-
sion]  COMMISSIONER may include in the entire net income[, minimum taxa-

S. 6359                            112                           A. 8559

ble income or pre-nineteen hundred ninety minimum taxable income] of the
taxpayer the fair profits which, but for such agreement, arrangement  or
understanding,  the  taxpayer  might have derived from such transaction.
WHERE ANY TAXPAYER OWNS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, MORE THAN FIFTY PERCENT
OF THE CAPITAL STOCK OF ANOTHER CORPORATION SUBJECT TO TAX UNDER SECTION
FIFTEEN HUNDRED TWO-A OF THIS CHAPTER AND FIFTY PERCENT OR LESS OF WHOSE
GROSS RECEIPTS FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR CONSIST OF PREMIUMS, THE COMMISSION-
ER  MAY  INCLUDE  IN  THE ENTIRE NET INCOME OF THE TAXPAYER, AS A DEEMED
DISTRIBUTION, THE AMOUNT OF THE NET INCOME OF THE OTHER CORPORATION THAT
IS IN EXCESS OF ITS NET PREMIUM INCOME.
  S 19-a. Subdivision 13 of section 211 of the tax law is REPEALED.
  S 20.  Subdivision 11 of section 2 of the tax law, as added by section
1 of part E-1 of chapter 57 of the laws of 2009, is amended to  read  as
follows:
  11.  The term "[overcapitalized] COMBINABLE captive insurance company"
means an entity that is treated as an association taxable  as  a  corpo-
ration  under  the  internal revenue code (a) more than fifty percent of
the voting stock of which is owned or controlled, directly or  indirect-
ly,  by  a  single entity that is treated as an association taxable as a
corporation under the internal revenue code and not exempt from  federal
income  tax;  (b)  that is licensed as a captive insurance company under
the laws of this state or another jurisdiction; AND (c)  whose  business
includes  providing,  directly  and indirectly, insurance or reinsurance
covering the risks of  its  parent  and/or  members  of  its  affiliated
group[;  and  (d)  fifty percent or less of whose gross receipts for the
taxable year consist of premiums].   For purposes of  this  subdivision,
"affiliated group" has the same meaning as that term is given in section
1504  of  the internal revenue code, except that the term "common parent
corporation" in that section is deemed to mean any person, as defined in
section 7701 of the internal revenue code[;] AND references to "at least
eighty percent" in section 1504 of the internal revenue code are  to  be
read  as  "fifty  percent or more;" section 1504 of the internal revenue
code is to be read without regard to  the  exclusions  provided  for  in
subsection (b) of that section[; "premiums" has the same meaning as that
term  is  given  in  paragraph one of subdivision (c) of section fifteen
hundred ten of this chapter, except that it includes  consideration  for
annuity  contracts and excludes any part of the consideration for insur-
ance, reinsurance or annuity contracts that do  not  provide  bona  fide
insurance,   reinsurance  or  annuity  benefits;  and  "gross  receipts"
includes the amounts included in gross receipts for purposes of  section
501(c) (15) of the internal revenue code, except that those amounts also
include all premiums as defined in this subdivision].
  S  21.  Subdivision  (a) of section 1500 of the tax law, as separately
amended by section 1 of part B-1 and section 8 of part E-1 of chapter 57
of the laws of 2009, is amended to read as follows:
  (a) The term "insurance corporation" includes a  corporation,  associ-
ation,  joint stock company or association, person, society, aggregation
or partnership, by whatever name known,  doing  an  insurance  business,
and, notwithstanding the provisions of section fifteen hundred twelve of
this  article,  shall  include  (1) a risk retention group as defined in
subsection (n) of section five thousand nine hundred two of  the  insur-
ance  law,  (2)  the state insurance fund and (3) a corporation, associ-
ation, joint stock company or association, person, society,  aggregation
or  partnership  doing an insurance business as a member of the New York
insurance exchange described in section six thousand two hundred one  of
the  insurance  law.  The  definition  of  the  "state  insurance  fund"

S. 6359                            113                           A. 8559

contained in this subdivision shall be limited  in  its  effect  to  the
provisions  of  this  article and the related provisions of this chapter
and shall have no force and effect  other  than  with  respect  to  such
provisions.  The  term  "insurance  corporation"  shall  also  include a
captive insurance company doing a captive insurance business, as defined
in subsections (c) and (b), respectively, of section seven thousand  two
of  the  insurance law; provided, however, "insurance corporation" shall
not include the metropolitan transportation authority, or a public bene-
fit corporation or not-for-profit corporation formed by a  city  with  a
population  of one million or more pursuant to subsection (a) of section
seven thousand five of the insurance law, each  of  which  is  expressly
exempt  from the payment of fees, taxes or assessments, whether state or
local; and provided further "insurance corporation" does not include any
[overcapitalized] COMBINABLE captive insurance company. The term "insur-
ance corporation" shall also include an unauthorized  insurer  operating
from  an  office  within  the  state,  pursuant  to  paragraph  five  of
subsection (b) of section one thousand one hundred  one  and  subsection
(i)  of section two thousand one hundred seventeen of the insurance law.
The term "insurance corporation"  also  includes  a  health  maintenance
organization required to obtain a certificate of authority under article
forty-four of the public health law.
  S  22. Subdivision (a) of section 1502-b of the tax law, as amended by
section 9 of part E-1 of chapter 57 of the laws of 2009 and  as  further
amended  by  section 104 of part A of chapter 62 of the laws of 2011, is
amended to read as follows:
  (a) In lieu of the taxes and tax surcharge imposed by sections fifteen
hundred one, fifteen hundred two-a, fifteen hundred five-a, and  fifteen
hundred ten of this article, every captive insurance company licensed by
the  superintendent  of financial services pursuant to the provisions of
article seventy of the insurance law, other than the metropolitan trans-
portation authority and a public benefit corporation  or  not-for-profit
corporation  formed  by  a city with a population of one million or more
pursuant to subsection (a) of section seven thousand five of the  insur-
ance  law,  each  of which is expressly exempt from the payment of fees,
taxes or assessments whether state or local, and other than [an overcap-
italized] COMBINABLE captive insurance company, shall, for the privilege
of exercising its corporate franchise, pay a tax on (1) all gross direct
premiums, less return premiums thereon,  written  on  risks  located  or
resident  in  this  state and (2) all assumed reinsurance premiums, less
return premiums thereon, written on risks located or  resident  in  this
state.  The  rate  of  the tax imposed on gross direct premiums shall be
four-tenths of one percent on all  or  any  part  of  the  first  twenty
million  dollars  of premiums, three-tenths of one percent on all or any
part of the second twenty million dollars of premiums, two-tenths of one
percent on all or any part of the third twenty million dollars of premi-
ums, and seventy-five thousandths of  one  percent  on  each  dollar  of
premiums thereafter. The rate of the tax on assumed reinsurance premiums
shall  be  two  hundred twenty-five thousandths of one percent on all or
any part of the first twenty million dollars of  premiums,  one  hundred
and  fifty  thousandths  of one percent on all or any part of the second

  (2) In determining New York source income of a nonresident shareholder
of an S corporation where the election provided for in subsection (a) of
section  six  hundred sixty of this article is in effect, there shall be
included only the portion derived from or connected with New York sourc-
es  of  such  shareholder's  pro  rata  share  of items of S corporation
income, loss and deduction entering  into  his  federal  adjusted  gross
income,  increased  by  reductions for taxes described in paragraphs two
and three of subsection (f) of section thirteen hundred sixty-six of the
internal revenue code, as such portion shall be determined  under  regu-
lations  of  the commissioner consistent with the applicable methods and
rules for allocation under article nine-A [or thirty-two] of this  chap-
ter,  regardless of whether or not such item or reduction is included in

provided for in subsection (a) of section  six  hundred  sixty  of  this
article  is in effect, and the S corporation has distributed an install-
ment obligation under section 453(h)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code,
then any gain recognized on the receipt of payments from the installment
obligation for federal income tax purposes will be treated as  New  York
source income allocated in a manner consistent with the applicable meth-
ods  and  rules  for  allocation under article nine-A [or thirty-two] of
this chapter in the year that the assets were sold. In addition, if  the
shareholders  of  the  S corporation have made an election under section
338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code, then any gain recognized on the
deemed asset sale for federal income tax purposes will be treated as New
York source income allocated in a manner consistent with the  applicable
methods and rules for allocation under article nine-A [or thirty-two] of
this  chapter  in  the  year  that  the  shareholder  made  the  section
338(h)(10) election. For purposes of a section 338(h)(10) election, when
a nonresident shareholder exchanges his or her S  corporation  stock  as
part  of  the  deemed  liquidation, any gain or loss recognized shall be
treated as the disposition of an intangible asset and will not  increase
or  offset  any gain recognized on the deemed assets sale as a result of
the section 338(h)(10) election.
  S 72. Subparagraph (A) of paragraph 4 of subsection (c) of section 658
of the tax law, as amended by section 1 of part DD of chapter 686 of the

  (A) General. Every entity which is a partnership, other than a public-
ly traded partnership as defined in section 7704 of the federal Internal
Revenue Code, subchapter K limited liability company or an S corporation
for which the election provided for in subsection  (a)  of  section  six

hundred thirty-one of this article as in the case of a nonresident indi-
vidual, shall pay estimated tax on such income on behalf of  such  part-
ners,  members or shareholders in the manner and at the times prescribed
by subsection (c) of section six hundred eighty-five  of  this  article.
For  purposes  of  this paragraph, the term "estimated tax" shall mean a
partner's, member's or shareholder's  distributive  share  or  pro  rata
share  of the entity income derived from New York sources, multiplied by
the highest rate of tax prescribed by section six hundred  one  of  this
article  for  the taxable year of any partner, member or shareholder who
is an individual taxpayer,  or  paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision  one  of

S. 6359                            147                           A. 8559

tive share or pro rata share of any credits determined under section one

subsection (a) as amended by section 50 and subsection (h) as amended by
section  66 of part A of chapter 389 of the laws of 1997, are amended to

subsection (b) of this section to  take  into  account,  to  the  extent
provided for in this article (or in article thirteen of this chapter, in
the case of a shareholder which is a taxpayer under such article), the S
corporation  items  of  income, loss, deduction and reductions for taxes
described in paragraphs two and three of subsection (f) of section thir-
teen hundred sixty-six of the internal revenue code which are taken into
account for federal  income  tax  purposes  for  the  taxable  year.  No
election  under this subsection shall be effective unless all sharehold-
ers of the corporation have so elected. An eligible S corporation is (i)
an S corporation which is subject to tax under article nine-A [or  thir-
ty-two] of this chapter, OR (ii) an S corporation which is the parent of
a qualified subchapter S subsidiary subject to tax under article nine-A,
where  the  shareholders of such parent corporation are entitled to make

paragraph  (k)  of subdivision nine of section two hundred eight of this
chapter[; or (iii) an S corporation which is the parent of  a  qualified
subchapter  S corporation subject to tax under article thirty-two, where
the shareholders of such parent are entitled to make the election  under
this  subsection  by  reason  of  paragraph  three  of subsection (o) of
section fourteen hundred fifty-three of this chapter].

added  by  section  1  of  part  L of chapter 60 of the laws of 2007, is
amended to read as follows:
  (1) Notwithstanding the provisions in subsection (a) of this  section,
in  the  case  of an eligible S corporation for which the election under
subsection (a) of this section is not in effect for the current  taxable
year,  the  shareholders of an eligible S corporation are deemed to have
made that election effective for the  eligible  S  corporation's  entire
current  taxable year, if the eligible S corporation's investment income
for the current taxable year is more than fifty percent of  its  federal

time  shall  publish all rulings of general public interest with respect
to any application of the provisions  of  the  preceding  sentence.  The

any part of such taxable years ending after December  thirty-first,  two
thousand  two]  after  the  deduction of any credits otherwise allowable
under this article[; provided, however, that the tax  surcharge  imposed
by  this  section  shall  not be imposed upon any taxpayer for more than
four hundred thirty-two months].  Provided  however,  that  for  taxable
years  commencing  on or after July first, two thousand, and in the case
of taxpayers subject to tax under section fifteen hundred two-a of  this
article,  for taxable years of such taxpayers beginning on or after July
first, two thousand and before January first, two thousand  three,  such

ing  the  year  of  their purchase, less an amount which shall be estab-
lished and retained by such racing corporation of  between  fourteen  to
twenty  per centum of the total deposits in pools resulting from regular
on-track bets and less sixteen to twenty-two per  centum  of  the  total
deposits  in pools resulting from multiple on-track bets and less twenty
to thirty per centum of the total deposits in pools resulting from exot-
ic on-track bets and less twenty to thirty-six per centum of  the  total
pools  resulting  from  super exotic on-track bets, plus the breaks. The
retention rate to be established is subject to the prior approval of the
[racing and wagering board] COMMISSION.  Such rate may  not  be  changed
more  than once per calendar quarter to be effective on the first day of
the calendar quarter. "Exotic bets" and "multiple bets" shall  have  the
meanings  set forth in section five hundred nineteen of this chapter and
breaks are hereby defined as the odd cents over any multiple of ten,  or
for  exotic  bets  over any multiple of fifty, or for super exotic bets,
over any multiple of one hundred, calculated on the basis of one dollar,
otherwise payable to a patron provided, however,  that  effective  after
October  fifteenth,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-four  breaks  are  hereby
defined as the odd cents over any multiple of five for  payoffs  greater
than one dollar five cents but less than five dollars, over any multiple
of  ten  for payoffs greater than five dollars but less than twenty-five
dollars, over any multiple of twenty-five for payoffs greater than twen-
ty-five dollars but less than two hundred fifty  dollars,  or  over  any
multiple  of  fifty  for  payoffs over two hundred fifty dollars. "Super
exotic bets" shall have the meaning set forth in section  three  hundred
one  of  this  chapter. Of the amount so retained there shall be paid by
such corporation to the department of taxation and finance as a  reason-
able  tax  by  the  state  for  the  privilege of conducting pari-mutuel
betting on the races run at the race meeting held by  such  corporation,
which tax is hereby levied, the following percentages of the total pool,
plus fifty-five per centum of the breaks; the applicable rates for regu-
lar and multiple bets shall be one and one-half per centum; the applica-

S. 6359                            163                           A. 8559

ble  rates for exotic bets shall be six and three-quarter per centum and
the applicable rate for super exotic bets shall be seven and three-quar-
ter per centum. Effective on and after September first, nineteen hundred
ninety-four,  the  applicable  tax  rate  shall be one per centum of all
wagers, provided that,  an  amount  equal  to  one-half  the  difference
between the taxation rate for on-track regular, multiple and exotic bets
as of December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-three and the rates
on such on-track wagers as herein provided shall be used exclusively for
purses. Provided, however, that for any twelve-month period beginning on
April  first in nineteen hundred ninety and any year thereafter, each of
the applicable rates set forth above shall be increased  by  one-quarter
of  one  per  centum on all on-track bets of any such racing corporation
that did not expend an amount equal to at  least  one-half  of  one  per
centum  of  its  on-track bets during the immediately preceding calendar
year for enhancements consisting of capital improvements as  defined  by
section  two  hundred thirty-seven of this article, repairs to its phys-
ical plant, structures, and equipment used in  its  racing  or  wagering
operations as certified by the [state racing and wagering board] COMMIS-
SION  to  the  commissioner of taxation and finance no later than eighty
days after the close of such calendar year, and five special  events  at
each  track  in each calendar year, not otherwise conducted in the ordi-
nary course of business, the purpose of which  shall  be  to  encourage,
attract  and  promote  track  attendance and encourage new and continued
patronage, which events shall be approved by the  [racing  and  wagering
board] COMMISSION for purposes of this subdivision. In the determination
of  the  amounts  expended for such enhancements, the [board] COMMISSION
may consider the immediately preceding twelve month calendar  period  or
the average of the two immediately preceding twelve month calendar peri-
ods.  Provided  further,  however,  that of the portion of the increased
amounts retained by such corporation above  those  amounts  retained  in
nineteen  hundred  eighty-four,  an  amount  of  such  increase shall be
distributed to purses in the same proportion as commissions  and  purses
were distributed during nineteen hundred eighty-four as certified by the
[board]  COMMISSION. Such corporation in the second zone shall receive a
credit against the daily tax imposed by this subdivision  in  an  amount
equal  to  one per centum of total daily pools resulting from the simul-
cast of such corporation's races  to  licensed  facilities  operated  by
regional  off-track  betting corporations in accordance with section one
thousand eight of this chapter, provided however, that sixty per  centum
of the amount of such credit shall be used exclusively to increase purs-
es  for  overnight  races  conducted  by such corporation; and, provided
further, that in no event shall such total daily credit exceed  one  per
centum  of  the total daily pool of such corporation. Provided, however,
that on and after September first,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-four  such
credit  shall be four-tenths percent of total daily pools resulting from
such simulcasting and that in no event shall  such  total  daily  credit
equal four-tenths percent of the total daily pool of such corporation.
  Such corporation shall pay to the New York state thoroughbred breeding
and  development  fund  one-half  of  one  per centum of the total daily
on-track pari-mutuel pools from regular, multiple and exotic  bets,  and
three  per  centum  of  super exotic bets. The corporation shall receive
credit as a reduction of the tax by  the  state  for  the  privilege  of
conducting pari-mutuel betting for the amounts, except amounts paid from
super  exotic  betting  pools,  paid  to the New York state thoroughbred
breeding and development fund  after  January  first,  nineteen  hundred
seventy-eight.

  Such  corporation  shall distribute to purses an amount equal to fifty
per centum of any compensation it receives  from  simulcasting  or  from
wagering conducted outside the United States. Such corporation shall pay
to the [racing and wagering board] COMMISSION as a regulatory fee, which
fee  is hereby levied, [fifty] SIXTY hundredths of one per centum of the
total daily on-track pari-mutuel pools of such corporation.
  S 2. Paragraph (d) of subdivision 1 of  section  238  of  the  racing,
pari-mutuel  wagering  and breeding law, as amended by chapter 18 of the
laws of 2008, is amended to read as follows:
  (d) The pari-mutuel tax rate  authorized  by  paragraph  (a)  of  this
subdivision shall be effective so long as a franchised corporation noti-
fies  the  [racing and wagering board] COMMISSION by August fifteenth of
each year that such pari-mutuel tax rate is effective of its  intent  to
conduct a race meeting at Aqueduct racetrack during the months of Decem-
ber,  January, February, March and April. For purposes of this paragraph
such race meeting shall consist of not less  than  ninety-five  days  of
racing.  Not later than May first of each year that such pari-mutuel tax
rate  is  effective,  the  [racing  and wagering board] COMMISSION shall
determine whether a race meeting at Aqueduct racetrack consisted of  the
number  of days as required by this paragraph. In determining the number
of race days, cancellation of a race day because of an act of God, which
the [racing and wagering board] COMMISSION approves or because of weath-
er conditions that are unsafe or hazardous which the [racing and  wager-
ing  board]  COMMISSION  approves shall not be construed as a failure to
conduct a race day. Additionally, cancellation of a race day because  of
circumstances  beyond  the  control  of  such franchised corporation for
which the [racing and wagering board] COMMISSION  gives  approval  shall
not  be construed as a failure to conduct a race day. If the [racing and
wagering board] COMMISSION determines that the number of days of  racing
as required by this paragraph have not occurred then the pari-mutuel tax
rate in paragraph (a) of this subdivision shall revert to the pari-mutu-
el  tax rates in effect prior to January first, nineteen hundred ninety-
five. Such franchised corporation shall pay to the [racing and  wagering
board]  COMMISSION  as  a  regulatory  fee,  which fee is hereby levied,
[fifty] SIXTY hundredths of one per centum of the total  daily  on-track
pari-mutuel pools of such franchised corporation.
  S  3. Paragraph d of subdivision 1 of section 318 of the racing, pari-
mutuel wagering and breeding law, as amended by section 3 of part  B  of
chapter 59 of the laws of 2005, is amended to read as follows:
  d.  Every  harness  racing association or corporation shall pay to the
[board] COMMISSION as a regulatory fee,  which  fee  is  hereby  levied,
[fifty]  SIXTY  hundredths  of  one  percent of the total daily on-track
pari-mutuel pools of such association or corporation.
  S 4. The opening paragraph of subdivision 1  of  section  527  of  the
racing,  pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, as amended by chapter 18
of the laws of 2008, is amended to read as follows:
  The disposition of the retained commission from pools  resulting  from
regular,  multiple or exotic bets, as the case may be, whether placed on
races run within a region or  outside  a  region,  conducted  by  racing
corporations, harness racing associations or corporations, quarter horse
racing associations or corporations or races run outside the state shall
be governed by the tables in paragraphs a and b of this subdivision. The
rate  denominated  "state  tax" shall represent the rate of a reasonable
tax imposed upon the retained commission for the privilege of conducting
off-track pari-mutuel betting, which tax is hereby levied and  shall  be
payable  in the manner set forth in this section. Each off-track betting

S. 6359                            165                           A. 8559

corporation shall pay to the [racing and wagering board] COMMISSION as a
regulatory fee, which fee is hereby levied, [fifty] SIXTY hundredths  of
one  percent  of  the total daily pools of such corporation. Each corpo-
ration  shall also pay twenty per centum of the breaks derived from bets
on harness races and fifty per centum of the breaks derived from bets on
all other races to the agriculture and New York State horse breeding and
development fund and to the thoroughbred breeding and development  fund,
the  total  of  such payments to be apportioned fifty per centum to each
such fund. For the purposes of this section, the New York city, Suffolk,
Nassau, and the Catskill regions shall constitute a  single  region  and
any  thoroughbred track located within the Capital District region shall
be deemed to be within such single region. A  "regional  meeting"  shall
refer to either harness or thoroughbred meetings, or both, except that a
franchised  corporation shall not be a regional track for the purpose of
receiving distributions from bets on thoroughbred races conducted  by  a
thoroughbred  track  in  the Catskill region conducting a mixed meeting.
With the exception of a harness racing association or corporation  first
licensed  to  conduct  pari-mutuel  wagering at a track located in Tioga
county after January first, two thousand five, racing corporations first
licensed to conduct pari-mutuel racing  after  January  first,  nineteen
hundred  eighty-six or a harness racing association or corporation first
licensed to conduct pari-mutuel wagering at a track located  in  Genesee
County  after January first, two thousand five, and quarter horse tracks
shall not be "regional tracks"; if there is more than one harness  track
within  a region, such tracks shall evenly divide payments made pursuant
to the tables in paragraphs a and b of  this  subdivision  when  neither
track  is  running.  In  the event a track elects to reduce its retained
percentage from any or all of its pari-mutuel pools, the payments to the
track holding the race and the regional track required by  paragraphs  a
and  b  of  this  subdivision  shall  be  reduced  in proportion to such
reduction. Nothing in this section shall be construed to  authorize  the
conduct  of off-track betting contrary to the provisions of section five
hundred twenty-three of this article.
  S 5. Paragraph a of subdivision 1 of section 904 of the racing,  pari-
mutuel  wagering  and breeding law, as amended by chapter 18 of the laws

distributed  to  purses  in  addition  to moneys distributed pursuant to

                                 PART I

  Section 1. Subsection (b) of section 612 of the tax law is amended  by
adding a new paragraph 40 to read as follows:
  (40)  IN  THE  CASE OF A BENEFICIARY OF A NONRESIDENT TRUST OR A TRUST
NOT SUBJECT TO TAX PURSUANT TO SUBPARAGRAPH (D) OF  PARAGRAPH  THREE  OF
SUBSECTION  (B)  OF SECTION SIX HUNDRED FIVE OF THIS ARTICLE (EXCEPT FOR
AN INCOMPLETE GIFT NON-GRANTOR TRUST, AS DEFINED BY PARAGRAPH  FORTY-ONE
OF  THIS  SUBSECTION),  THE  AMOUNT  OF ANY ACCUMULATION DISTRIBUTION AS
DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION (B) OF SECTION SIX  HUNDRED  SIXTY-FIVE  OF  THE
INTERNAL  REVENUE  CODE  FOR  THE TAX YEAR, SUCH AMOUNT TO BE DETERMINED
WITHOUT REGARD TO THE  PENULTIMATE  SENTENCE  OF  SUCH  SUBSECTION  THAT
REFERENCES  SECTION  SIX  HUNDRED  SIXTY-SEVEN OF SUCH CODE, AND WITHOUT
REGARD TO SUBSECTION (C) OF SECTION SIX HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE OF THE INTER-
NAL REVENUE CODE, TO THE EXTENT NOT ALREADY INCLUDED  IN  FEDERAL  GROSS

  S 2. Subsection (b) of section 612 of the tax law is amended by adding
a new paragraph 41 to read as follows:
  (41)  IN  THE CASE OF A TAXPAYER WHO TRANSFERRED PROPERTY TO AN INCOM-
PLETE GIFT  NON-GRANTOR  TRUST,  THE  INCOME  OF  THE  TRUST,  LESS  ANY
DEDUCTIONS  OF  THE  TRUST,  TO THE EXTENT SUCH INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS OF
SUCH TRUST WOULD BE TAKEN  INTO  ACCOUNT  IN  COMPUTING  THE  TAXPAYER'S
FEDERAL  TAXABLE  INCOME IF SUCH TRUST IN ITS ENTIRETY WERE TREATED AS A
GRANTOR TRUST FOR FEDERAL TAX PURPOSES. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS  PARAGRAPH,
AN "INCOMPLETE GIFT NON-GRANTOR TRUST" MEANS A RESIDENT TRUST THAT MEETS
THE  FOLLOWING  CONDITIONS:  (I) THE TRUST DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A GRANTOR
TRUST UNDER SECTION SIX HUNDRED SEVENTY-ONE THROUGH SIX  HUNDRED  SEVEN-
TY-NINE  OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, AND (2) THE GRANTOR'S TRANSFER OF
ASSETS TO THE TRUST IS TREATED AS AN INCOMPLETE GIFT UNDER SECTION TWEN-
TY-FIVE HUNDRED ELEVEN OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, AND THE REGULATIONS
THEREUNDER.
  S 3. Section 621 of the tax law, as added by chapter 272 of  the  laws
of  1963  and  subsection  (a)  as amended by chapter 267 of the laws of

distribution by such trust, as defined in section six hundred sixty-five
of the internal revenue code, INCLUDING A BENEFICIARY WHO IS REQUIRED TO
MAKE  THE  MODIFICATION REQUIRED BY PARAGRAPH FORTY OF SUBSECTION (B) OF
SECTION SIX HUNDRED TWELVE OF THIS PART, shall be allowed (1)  a  credit
against  the  tax  otherwise due under this article for all or a propor-
tionate part of any tax paid by the trust under this  article  or  under
FORMER article sixteen of this chapter (as such article was in effect on
or before December thirtieth, nineteen hundred sixty), for any preceding
taxable  year which would not have been payable if the trust had in fact
made distributions to its beneficiaries at the times and in the  amounts
specified in section six hundred sixty-six of the internal revenue code;
AND (2) A CREDIT AGAINST THE TAXES IMPOSED BY THIS ARTICLE FOR THE TAXA-

S. 6359                            172                           A. 8559

BLE YEAR FOR ANY INCOME TAX IMPOSED ON THE TRUST FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR OR
ANY  PRIOR  TAXABLE  YEAR BY ANOTHER STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, A POLI-
TICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, OR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, UPON INCOME BOTH
DERIVED  THEREFROM  AND SUBJECT TO TAX UNDER THIS ARTICLE, PROVIDED THAT
THE AMOUNT OF THE CREDIT SHALL NOT EXCEED  THE  PERCENTAGE  OF  THE  TAX
OTHERWISE  DUE  UNDER THIS ARTICLE DETERMINED BY DIVIDING THE PORTION OF
THE INCOME THAT IS BOTH TAXABLE TO THE TRUST IN SUCH OTHER  JURISDICTION
AND TAXABLE TO THE BENEFICIARY UNDER THIS ARTICLE BY THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF
THE BENEFICIARY'S NEW YORK INCOME.
  (b)  Limitation.  The  [credit]  CREDITS  under this section shall not
reduce the tax otherwise due from the beneficiary under this article  to
an amount less than would have been due if the accumulation distribution
or  his  part  thereof  were  excluded  from his New York adjusted gross
income.
  S 4. Section 658 of the tax law is amended by adding a new  subsection
(f) to read as follows:
   (F)  (1) EVERY NONRESIDENT TRUST OR A TRUST DESCRIBED BY SUBPARAGRAPH
(D) OF PARAGRAPH THREE OF SUBSECTION (B) OF SECTION SIX HUNDRED FIVE  OF
THIS  ARTICLE SHALL MAKE A RETURN FOR ANY TAXABLE YEAR IN WHICH IT MAKES
AN ACCUMULATION DISTRIBUTION WITHIN THE MEANING OF  SUBDIVISION  (B)  OF
SECTION SIX HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE TO A BENEFI-
CIARY  WHO  IS  A  RESIDENT,  WHICH RETURN SHALL INCLUDE (I) INFORMATION
IDENTIFYING SUCH RESIDENT, (II) THE AMOUNT OF SUCH ACCUMULATION DISTRIB-
UTION, AND (III) SUCH OTHER INFORMATION AS THE COMMISSIONER MAY REQUIRE.
  (2) EVERY RESIDENT TRUST THAT DOES NOT FILE  THE  RETURN  REQUIRED  BY
SECTION  SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-ONE OF THIS PART ON THE GROUND THAT IT IS NOT
SUBJECT TO TAX PURSUANT  TO  SUBPARAGRAPH  (D)  OF  PARAGRAPH  THREE  OF
SUBSECTION (B) OF SECTION SIX HUNDRED FIVE OF THIS ARTICLE FOR THE TAXA-
BLE  YEAR  SHALL  MAKE A RETURN FOR SUCH TAXABLE YEAR SUBSTANTIATING ITS
ENTITLEMENT TO THAT EXEMPTION AND PROVIDING SUCH  OTHER  INFORMATION  AS
THE COMMISSIONER MAY REQUIRE.
  (3)  THE  RETURNS  REQUIRED  BY  THIS  SUBSECTION SHALL BE FILED ON OR
BEFORE THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF THE FOURTH MONTH FOLLOWING THE CLOSE OF EACH
TAXABLE YEAR. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS PARAGRAPH,  "TAXABLE  YEAR"  MEANS  A
YEAR  OR  A PERIOD WHICH WOULD BE A TAXABLE YEAR OF THE TRUST IF IT WERE
SUBJECT TO TAX UNDER THIS ARTICLE.
  S 5. Paragraph 2 of subsection (h) of section 685 of the tax  law,  as
amended  by  chapter  190  of  the  laws  of 1990, is amended to read as

  (2) If any partnership [or], S corporation, OR TRUST required to  file
a return or report under subsection (c) OR SUBSECTION (F) of section six
hundred  fifty-eight  or  under  section  six hundred fifty-nine OF THIS
ARTICLE for any taxable year fails to file such return or report at  the
time  prescribed  therefor  (determined  with regard to any extension of
time for filing), or files a return or report which fails  to  show  the
information  required  under  such subsection (c) or section six hundred
fifty-nine OF THIS ARTICLE, unless it is shown that such failure is  due
to  reasonable  cause  and not due to willful neglect, there shall, upon
notice and demand by the commissioner and in the same manner as tax,  be
paid  by  the  partnership or S corporation a penalty for each month (or
fraction thereof) during which such failure continues (but not to exceed
five months). The amount of such penalty for any month is the product of
fifty dollars, multiplied by the number of partners in  the  partnership
or shareholders in the S corporation during any part of the taxable year
who were subject to tax under this article during any part of such taxa-
ble  year,  EXCEPT  THAT,  IN  THE CASE OF A TRUST, THE PENALTY SHALL BE

S. 6359                            173                           A. 8559

DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION (B) OF SECTION SIX  HUNDRED  SIXTY-FIVE  OF  THE
INTERNAL  REVENUE  CODE  FOR  THE TAX YEAR, SUCH AMOUNT TO BE DETERMINED
WITHOUT REGARD TO THE  PENULTIMATE  SENTENCE  OF  SUCH  SUBSECTION  THAT
REFERENCES  SECTION  SIX  HUNDRED  SIXTY-SEVEN  OF SUCH CODE AND WITHOUT
REGARD TO SUBSECTION (C) OF SECTION SIX HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE OF THE INTER-
NAL REVENUE CODE, TO THE EXTENT NOT ALREADY INCLUDED  IN  FEDERAL  GROSS
INCOME FOR THE TAX YEAR.

PLETE GIFT  NON-GRANTOR  TRUST,  THE  INCOME  OF  THE  TRUST,  LESS  ANY
DEDUCTIONS  OF  SUCH  TRUST, TO THE EXTENT SUCH INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS OF
SUCH TRUST WOULD BE TAKEN  INTO  ACCOUNT  IN  COMPUTING  THE  TAXPAYER'S

GRANTOR TRUST FOR FEDERAL TAX PURPOSES. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS  PARAGRAPH,
AN "INCOMPLETE GIFT NON-GRANTOR TRUST" MEANS A RESIDENT TRUST THAT MEETS

tionate part of any tax paid by the trust under this  chapter  or  under

taxable year which would not have been payable if the trust had in  fact
made  distributions to its beneficiaries at the times and in the amounts
specified in section six hundred sixty-six of the internal revenue code;
AND (2) A CREDIT AGAINST THE TAXES IMPOSED BY THIS CHAPTER FOR THE TAXA-
BLE YEAR FOR ANY INCOME TAX IMPOSED FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR  OR  ANY  PRIOR

IF  A  QUALIFIED  TAXPAYER  IS NOT REQUIRED TO FILE A RETURN PURSUANT TO

  4.  Tracks. The commissioner, in consultation with the commissioner of
health, shall propose within twelve months and thereafter timely promul-
gate regulations which create a multi-track approach for the remediation
of contamination, and, commencing on the effective date  of  such  regu-
lations,  utilize  such  multi-track  approach.  Such  regulations shall
provide that groundwater  use  in  Tracks  2,  3  or  4  can  be  either
restricted or unrestricted. The tracks shall be as follows:
  Track  1: The remedial program shall achieve a cleanup level that will
allow the site to be used for any purpose without restriction and  with-
out reliance on the long-term employment of institutional or engineering
controls,  and shall achieve contaminant-specific remedial action objec-
tives for soil which conform with those contained in the  generic  table
of  contaminant-specific remedial action objectives for unrestricted use
developed pursuant to subdivision six of this section.  Provided, howev-
er, that volunteers whose proposed remedial program [for the remediation
of groundwater] (1)(I) may require the long-term employment of  institu-
tional  or engineering controls FOR THE REMEDIATION OF GROUNDWATER after
the bulk reduction of groundwater contamination to asymptotic levels has
been achieved OR  (II)  MAY  REQUIRE  AN  INSTITUTIONAL  OR  ENGINEERING
CONTROL  FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS SOLELY TO ADDRESS SOIL VAPOR INTRUSION
but (2) whose program would  otherwise  conform  with  the  requirements
necessary to qualify for Track 1, shall qualify for Track 1.
  Track  2:  The remedial program may include restrictions on the use of
the site or reliance on the long-term employment of  engineering  and/or
institutional  controls, but shall achieve contaminant-specific remedial
action objectives for soil which conform with those contained in one  of
the generic tables developed pursuant to subdivision six of this section
without  the  use of institutional or engineering controls to reach such
objectives.
  Track 3: The remedial program shall achieve contaminant-specific reme-
dial action objectives for soil which conform with the criteria used  to
develop  the  generic  tables  for such objectives developed pursuant to
subdivision six of this section but may use site specific data to deter-
mine such objectives.
  Track 4: The remedial program shall achieve a cleanup level that  will
be protective for the site's current, intended or reasonably anticipated
residential,  commercial,  or  industrial use with restrictions and with
reliance on the long-term employment  of  institutional  or  engineering
controls  to  achieve  such  level.  The  regulations  shall  include  a
provision requiring that a cleanup level which poses a  risk  in  excee-
dance  of  an  excess cancer risk of one in one million for carcinogenic
end points and a hazard index of one for non-cancer  end  points  for  a
specific  contaminant  at a specific site may be approved by the depart-
ment without requiring the use of institutional or engineering  controls
to  eliminate  exposure only upon a site specific finding by the commis-
sioner, in consultation with the commissioner of health, that such level
shall be protective of public health and environment. Such finding shall

determination  that  site conditions meet the requirements of this title
without the necessity for remediation pursuant  to  section  27-1411  of
this  title,  the  department,  in consultation with the applicant, must
notify individuals on the brownfield  site  contact  list.  Such  notice
shall  include  a  fact  sheet  describing  such  plan and provide for a
forty-five day public comment period.  The  commissioner  shall  hold  a
public  meeting  if  requested by the affected community and the commis-
sioner has found that the site constitutes a significant threat  to  the
public  health  or  the environment. Further, the affected community may
request a public meeting at sites that do not constitute  a  significant
threat.  (1)  To the extent that the department has determined that site
conditions do not pose a  significant  threat  and  the  site  is  being
addressed by a volunteer, the notice shall state that the department has
determined  that  no  remediation is required for the off-site areas and
that the department's determination of a significant threat  is  subject
to  this  forty-five day comment period. (2) If the [remedial work plan]
REMEDY includes a Track 2, Track 3 or Track 4 remedy at  a  non-signifi-
cant  threat  site, such comment period shall apply both to the approval
of the alternatives analysis by the department, IF APPLICABLE,  and  the
proposed remedy selected by the applicant.

law of the state which operates to defeat the enforcement of any  inter-
est  in  real  property  shall  operate to defeat the enforcement of any
environmental easement unless such  general  law  expressly  states  the

AND SECURITY FACILITIES, TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH COSTS ARE NOT USED AS A
BASIS FOR COMPUTING THE SITE PREPARATION  COMPONENT  OF  THE  BROWNFIELD
REDEVELOPMENT  TAX CREDIT PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH TWO OF THIS SUBDIVISION;

THE  FIVE  PERCENT AFFORDABLE HOUSING TANGIBLE PROPERTY CREDIT COMPONENT
PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (III) OF SUBPARAGRAPH (B) OF PARAGRAPH FIVE  OF  THIS
SUBDIVISION, THAT PORTION OF THE TANGIBLE PROPERTY CREDIT COMPONENT WILL
BE  DETERMINED BY MULTIPLYING THE TOTAL COSTS QUALIFIED FOR THE TANGIBLE
PROPERTY CREDIT COMPONENT BY A FRACTION, THE NUMERATOR OF WHICH SHALL BE
THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF SPACE OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS DEDICATED TO
RESIDENTIAL OCCUPANCY AND THE DENOMINATOR OF WHICH SHALL  BE  THE  TOTAL
SQUARE  FOOTAGE  OF  THE SITE. The credit component amount so determined
shall be allowed for the taxable year in which such  qualified  tangible
property  is FIRST placed in service on a qualified site with respect to
which a certificate of completion has been issued to  the  taxpayer,  OR
FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR IN WHICH THE CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION IS ISSUED IF
THE  QUALIFIED TANGIBLE PROPERTY IS PLACED IN SERVICE PRIOR TO THE ISSU-
ANCE OF THE CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION, for up to [ten]  FIVE CONSECUTIVE
taxable years [after] FROM THE START OF THE REDEVELOPMENT  OF  THE  SITE
PROVIDED  THAT  THE REDEVELOPMENT STARTS WITHIN TEN YEARS OF the date of
the issuance of such certificate of completion.  The  tangible  property
credit  component  shall be allowed with respect to property leased to a
second party only if such second party is either (i) not a party respon-
sible for the disposal of hazardous waste or the discharge of  petroleum
at  the  site  according to applicable principles of statutory or common
law liability, or (ii) a party responsible according to applicable prin-
ciples of statutory or common law liability if  such  party's  liability
arises  solely  from operation of the site subsequent to the disposal of
hazardous waste or the discharge of petroleum, and is  so  certified  by
the  commissioner  of  environmental  conservation at the request of the
taxpayer, pursuant to section 27-1419 of the environmental  conservation
law.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, in the
case of allowance of credit under this section to  such  a  lessor,  the

of trade in accordance with this subdivision. For purposes of  determin-
ing  if the property is principally used in qualifying uses, the uses by
the taxpayer described in clauses (D) and (E) of this  subparagraph  may
be  aggregated.  In  addition,  the uses by the taxpayer, its affiliated
regulated broker, dealer, and registered investment adviser under either
or both of those clauses  may  be  aggregated.    Provided,  however,  a
taxpayer  shall  not  be allowed the credit provided by clauses (D), (E)
and (F) of this subparagraph unless (I) eighty percent or  more  of  the
employees  performing the administrative and support functions resulting
from or related to the qualifying uses of such equipment are located  in

administrative and support functions resulting from or  related  to  the
qualifying  uses  of such equipment and are located in this state during

employment test will be based on the number of employees located in this
state on the last day of the first taxable year the taxpayer is  subject
to  tax in this state. If the uses of the property must be aggregated to
determine whether the property is principally used in  qualifying  uses,
then  either each affiliate using the property must satisfy this employ-
ment test or this employment test must be satisfied through  the  aggre-
gation  of  the  employees  of  the  taxpayer,  its affiliated regulated
broker, dealer, and registered investment adviser  using  the  property.

dealer,  or registered investment adviser is allowed a credit under this
subsection if the property is used by its affiliated  regulated  broker,

this  state  during the thirty-six months immediately preceding the year
for which the credit is  claimed,  or  (III)  the  number  of  employees

year  beginning  in  nineteen hundred ninety-eight, then the taxpayer is
not  required  to  satisfy the employment test provided in the preceding
sentence of this subparagraph  for  its  first  taxable  year.  For  the
purposes  of  clause (III) of this subparagraph the employment test will
be based on the number of employees located in this state  on  the  last
day  of  the  first  taxable year the taxpayer is subject to tax in this
state. If the uses of the  property  must  be  aggregated  to  determine
whether the property is principally used in qualifying uses, then either
each  affiliate  using the property must satisfy this employment test or
this employment test must be satisfied through the  aggregation  of  the
employees  of the taxpayer, its affiliated regulated broker, dealer, and
registered investment adviser using the property. For purposes  of  this
subsection, the term "goods" shall not include electricity].

estate tax return is required to be filed) modified as follows:
  (1)  Reduced by the value of real or tangible personal property having
an actual situs outside New York state.
  (2) Increased by the amount  determined  under  section  nine  hundred
fifty-seven  OF  THIS  PART  (relating  to limited powers of appointment

the TIME OF THE DECEDENT'S DEATH, EXCEPT THAT IF A  FEDERAL  ESTATE  TAX
RETURN  IS  FILED  AND THE ALTERNATE VALUATION UNDER SECTION 2032 OF THE
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE IS ELECTED FOR FEDERAL ESTATE  TAX  PURPOSES,  THE
NEW YORK GROSS ESTATE SHALL BE VALUED AS OF THE applicable federal valu-
ation date or dates. Any real property qualified under section two thou-
sand thirty-two-A of the internal revenue code shall have the same value
for  purposes  of the New York gross estate as it has for federal estate

  (2) IF SUCH ALTERNATE VALUATION COULD HAVE BEEN  ELECTED  PURSUANT  TO
PARAGRAPH  ONE  OF  THIS  SUBSECTION,  BUT  FOR THE ABSENCE OF AN ESTATE
SUFFICIENT TO REQUIRE THE FILING OF A FEDERAL RETURN, THE NEW YORK GROSS
ESTATE MAY, UPON THE ELECTION OF THE  EXECUTOR,  BE  VALUED  AS  OF  THE
FEDERAL  VALUATION  DATE  OR DATES WHICH WOULD HAVE APPLIED IF A FEDERAL
RETURN HAD BEEN FILED. HOWEVER, NO ELECTION MAY BE MADE UNDER THIS PARA-
GRAPH UNLESS SUCH ELECTION WILL DECREASE THE VALUE OF THE NEW YORK GROSS
ESTATE AND THE AMOUNT OF TAX IMPOSED BY THIS ARTICLE (REDUCED BY CREDITS

SHALL  BE  IRREVOCABLE.  THE ELECTION ALLOWED BY THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE
MADE NO LATER THAN THE DATE PRESCRIBED FOR  THE  FILING  OF  THE  RETURN
UNDER  THIS ARTICLE (INCLUDING EXTENSIONS) OR ANY TIME THEREAFTER AS THE
COMMISSIONER MAY PRESCRIBE.

OF A GIFT TO SUCH SPOUSE OF SUCH INTEREST WERE BEING DETERMINED.

ing into residences, homes or other areas to be conducted jointly by one
or more regional off-track betting corporations and one or more  of  the
following:  a franchised corporation, thoroughbred racing corporation or
a harness racing corporation or association; provided (i) the simulcast-

corporation having within its  geographic  boundaries  such  residences,
homes  or  other  areas  technically  capable of receiving the simulcast
signal shall be a contracting party; (iii) the distribution of  revenues
shall  be  subject  to  contractual agreement of the parties except that
statutory payments to  non-contracting  parties,  if  any,  may  not  be
reduced;  provided,  however,  that nothing herein to the contrary shall
prevent a track from televising its races on an irregular basis primari-
ly for promotional or marketing purposes as found by the [board] COMMIS-
SION.  For purposes of this paragraph, the  provisions  of  section  one
thousand thirteen of this article shall not apply. Any agreement author-
izing  an  in-home  simulcasting  experiment  commencing  prior  to  May

receiving such notice of an intent to terminate, may request the [board]
COMMISSION to mediate between the parties new terms and conditions in  a
replacement agreement between the parties as will permit continuation of
an  in-home  experiment  until  June  thirtieth, two thousand [fourteen]
FIFTEEN; and (iv) no in-home simulcasting in  the  thoroughbred  special
betting  district  shall  occur  without  the  approval  of the regional

in  the  amount  of fifty percent of the difference in total commissions
determined by comparing the total commissions available after July twen-
ty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-five to  the  total  commissions  that

this  chapter. For purposes of this section, a "pick six bet" shall mean
a single bet or wager on the outcomes of six races. The breaks are here-
by defined as the odd cents over any multiple of five for payoffs great-
er than one dollar five cents but  less  than  five  dollars,  over  any
multiple  of  ten  for  payoffs  greater than five dollars but less than
twenty-five dollars, over any multiple of twenty-five for payoffs great-
er than twenty-five dollars but less than two hundred fifty dollars,  or
over  any  multiple of fifty for payoffs over two hundred fifty dollars.
Out of the amount so retained there shall be  paid  by  such  franchised
corporation to the commissioner of taxation and finance, as a reasonable
tax  by the state for the privilege of conducting pari-mutuel betting on
the races run at the race meetings held by such franchised  corporation,
the  following  percentages  of  the total pool for regular and multiple
bets five per centum of regular bets and four  per  centum  of  multiple
bets  plus  twenty per centum of the breaks; for exotic wagers seven and
one-half per centum plus twenty per centum of the breaks, and for  super
exotic  bets  seven and one-half per centum plus fifty per centum of the
breaks. For the period June first, nineteen hundred ninety-five  through
September  ninth,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-nine,  such  tax on regular
wagers shall be three per centum and such tax on multiple  wagers  shall
be  two  and  one-half per centum, plus twenty per centum of the breaks.
For the period September tenth,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-nine  through
March  thirty-first,  two  thousand one, such tax on all wagers shall be
two and six-tenths per centum and for the period April first, two  thou-
sand one through December thirty-first, two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN,
such  tax on all wagers shall be one and six-tenths per centum, plus, in
each such period, twenty per centum of the breaks. Payment  to  the  New
York state thoroughbred breeding and development fund by such franchised
corporation  shall be one-half of one per centum of total daily on-track
pari-mutuel pools resulting from regular, multiple and exotic  bets  and
three  per  centum  of super exotic bets provided, however, that for the
period September tenth, nineteen hundred ninety-nine through March thir-
ty-first, two thousand one, such payment shall be six-tenths of one  per
centum  of  regular,  multiple and exotic pools and for the period April
first, two thousand one  through  December  thirty-first,  two  thousand
[fourteen] FIFTEEN, such payment shall be seven-tenths of one per centum
of such pools.

ble for a vendor's capital award of up to  four  percent  of  the  total
revenue  wagered at the vendor track after payout for prizes pursuant to
this chapter, which  shall  be  used  exclusively  for  capital  project
investments  to improve the facilities of the vendor track which promote
or encourage increased attendance at the video lottery  gaming  facility
including,  but  not limited to hotels, other lodging facilities, enter-
tainment  facilities,  retail  facilities,  dining  facilities,   events
arenas,  parking  garages  and  other improvements that enhance facility
amenities; provided that such capital investments shall be  approved  by
the  division, in consultation with the state racing and wagering board,
and that such vendor track demonstrates that such  capital  expenditures
will  increase  patronage at such vendor track's facilities and increase
the amount of revenue generated to support state education programs. The
annual amount of such vendor's capital awards that a vendor track  shall
be  eligible  to  receive  shall  be limited to two million five hundred
thousand dollars, except for Aqueduct racetrack, for which  there  shall
be  no  vendor's  capital awards. Except for tracks having less than one
thousand one hundred video gaming machines,  and  except  for  a  vendor
track  located west of State Route 14 from Sodus Point to the Pennsylva-
nia border within New York, each track operator  shall  be  required  to
co-invest  an  amount  of  capital  expenditure  equal to its cumulative
vendor's capital award. For all tracks, except for  Aqueduct  racetrack,
the amount of any vendor's capital award that is not used during any one
year  period  may  be  carried  over into subsequent years ending before
April first, two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN.   Any amount  attributable
to  a  capital  expenditure  approved prior to April first, two thousand
[fourteen] FIFTEEN  and  completed  before  April  first,  two  thousand
[sixteen]  SEVENTEEN;  or  approved  prior  to April first, two thousand
[eighteen] NINETEEN and  completed  before  April  first,  two  thousand
[twenty]  TWENTY-ONE  for  a vendor track located west of State Route 14
from Sodus Point to the Pennsylvania border within New  York,  shall  be
eligible  to  receive  the  vendor's  capital award. In the event that a
vendor track's capital expenditures, approved by the division  prior  to
April  first,  two  thousand  [fourteen]  FIFTEEN and completed prior to
April first, two thousand [sixteen] SEVENTEEN, exceed the vendor track's
cumulative capital award during the five year period ending April first,
two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN, the vendor shall  continue  to  receive
the  capital  award  after  April first, two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN
until such approved capital expenditures are paid to  the  vendor  track
subject  to  any  required  co-investment.  In no event shall any vendor
track that receives a vendor fee pursuant to clause (F) or (G)  of  this
subparagraph  be  eligible  for  a  vendor's  capital  award  under this
section. Any operator of a vendor track which has  received  a  vendor's
capital  award,  choosing to divest the capital improvement toward which
the award was applied, prior to the full  depreciation  of  the  capital
improvement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
shall  reimburse  the  state  in  amounts equal to the total of any such
awards. Any capital award not approved for a capital  expenditure  at  a
video  lottery  gaming  facility by April first, two thousand [fourteen]
FIFTEEN shall be deposited into the state  lottery  fund  for  education
aid; and

and as often as he deems advisable provide for the issuance  and  exclu-
sive  use  of stamps of a new design and forbid the use of stamps of any

INTO  AND  EXECUTE  FOR  AND  IN  BEHALF  OF  THE STATE SUCH CONTRACT OR
CONTRACTS FOR DIES, PLATES AND PRINTING NECESSARY FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF
THE STAMPS PROVIDED FOR BY THIS ARTICLE, AND HIRE STAFF AND PROVIDE SUCH
STATIONARY TOGETHER WITH  SUCH  BOOKS  AND  BLANKS  AS  IN  HIS  OR  HER
DISCRETION MAY BE NECESSARY FOR PUTTING INTO OPERATION THE PROVISIONS OF
THIS  ARTICLE;  THE  COMMISSIONER  SHALL BE THE CUSTODIAN OF ALL STAMPS,

FACTURE  OF  SUCH  STATE TAX STAMPS, AND ALL EXPENSES INCURRED UNDER THE
COMMISSIONER'S DIRECTION IN CARRYING OUT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS  ARTICLE
SHALL BE PAID TO THE COMMISSIONER BY THE STATE TREASURER FROM ANY MONEYS

for the sale of such stamps at such places and at such times as  he  may
deem necessary and may license agents for such purpose. The commissioner
may  license  dealers  in  cigarettes, who maintain separate warehousing
facilities for the purpose of receiving and distributing cigarettes  and

agent  any  such  stamps,  such  agent  shall  be entitled to receive as
compensation for his services and expenses as such agent in  selling  or
affixing  such stamps, and to retain out of the moneys to be paid by him
for such stamps, a commission on the par value thereof. The commissioner
is hereby authorized to prescribe a schedule of commissions, not exceed-

such  stamps. Such schedule shall be uniform with respect to the differ-
ent types of stamps used, and may be on a graduated scale  with  respect
to  the  number  of  stamps  purchased.  The  commissioner  may,  in his
discretion, permit an agent to pay for such stamps  within  thirty  days
after  the  date of purchase and may require any such agent to file with
the department of taxation and finance a bond issued by a surety company
approved by the superintendent of financial services as to solvency  and
responsibility and authorized to transact business in the state or other
security  acceptable  to the commissioner, in such amount as the commis-
sioner may fix, to secure the payment of any sums due  from  such  agent
pursuant  to this article. If securities are deposited as security under
this subdivision, such securities shall be kept in the  custody  of  the
commissioner and may be sold by the commissioner if it becomes necessary
so  to  do  in order to recover any sums due from such agent pursuant to
this article, but no such sale shall be had until after such agent shall
have had opportunity to litigate the validity of any tax if it elects so
to do. Upon any such sale, the surplus, if any, above the sums due under
this article shall be returned to such agent.

TAXPAYER  MAKES THIS ELECTION, THE TAXPAYER MUST ALSO MAKE THE ELECTIONS

excluded  from entire net income pursuant to the provisions of paragraph
(c-1) of subdivision nine of this section and shall be computed  without

its major base of operations and in which it is organized,  resident  or
headquartered  (if  not  in  the same country as its major base of oper-

ary  1,  1987",  as  determined  under  paragraphs  five  and  seven  of
subsection (a) of section fifty-seven of the internal revenue code.
  (c) The adjustments referred to hereinabove shall be:
  (1) "Depreciation" as determined under paragraph one of subsection (a)

ty,  the  amount  of the net operating loss which may be carried over to
taxable years beginning after  nineteen  hundred  eighty-nine  shall  be

taxable year of the taxpayer beginning after  nineteen  hundred  eighty-
nine.

and carrybacks shall, subject to the provisions of subparagraph five  of
paragraph  (f)  of  subdivision nine of this section, be computed in the
manner set forth in paragraph two  of  subsection  (b)  of  section  one
hundred  seventy-two  of the internal revenue code, except that, for the
reference therein to taxable income,  there  shall  be  substituted  the
phrase  "ninety  percent  of  minimum  taxable income determined without
regard to the alternative net operating loss deduction".
  (3) The amount of such deduction shall not exceed  ninety  percent  of
minimum  taxable  income  determined  without  regard to such deduction,
provided, however, the term "ninety percent" shall be  read  as  "forty-
five  percent"  with  respect  to  taxable  years  beginning in nineteen
hundred ninety-four.
  (e) The tax commission may, whenever necessary in  order  to  properly
reflect  the  minimum taxable income of any taxpayer, determine the year
or period in which any item of income or deduction  shall  be  included,
without regard to the method of accounting employed by the taxpayer.
  (f) If the period covered by a report under this article is other than
the  period  covered by the report to the United States treasury depart-
ment, the minimum taxable income shall be appropriately modified  pursu-
ant to regulations promulgated by the tax commission.]

sixty-seven of the internal revenue code.
  (3) Federal depreciation disallowed. With respect to transition  prop-
erty,  the  deduction  for  federal income tax purposes for depreciation
shall not be allowed.
  (4) New York depreciation. With  respect  to  transition  property,  a
deduction  shall  be  allowed  for the depreciation expense shown on the
books and records of the taxpayer for the taxable year and determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
  (5) Regulatory assets. A deduction shall be allowed for amounts recog-
nized as expense on the books and records of the taxpayer for the  taxa-
ble  year,  which  amounts were recognized as expense for federal income
tax purposes in a taxable year ending  on  or  before  December  thirty-
first,  nineteen  hundred ninety-nine, where: (A) such amounts represent
expenditures which, when made, were charged to a deferred debit  account
or  similar  asset account on the books and records of the taxpayer, and
where (B) the recognition of expense on the books  and  records  of  the
taxpayer  is  matched by revenue stemming from a procedure or adjustment
allowing the recovery of such expenditures, and where (C)  such  revenue
is recognized for federal income tax purposes in the taxable year.
  (6)  Basis for gain or loss. (A) Recognition transactions. (i) General
rule - book basis. Except as provided in subclause (ii) of this  clause,
where  transition property is sold or otherwise disposed of in the taxa-
ble year in a transaction of the type requiring recognition of  gain  or

S. 6359--A                         18                         A. 8559--A

loss  for  federal  income  tax  purposes, the basis for determining the
amount of such gain or loss under this article shall be the cost of  the
property less the accumulated depreciation on the property determined on
the  books  and  records  of  the  taxpayer in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
  (ii) Qualified gain - New York basis.  Where  a  sale  or  disposition
described in subclause (i) of this clause results in recognition of gain
for  federal  income tax purposes, and where either (I) such recognition
occurs in a taxable year ending after nineteen hundred  ninety-nine  and
before  two  thousand ten, or (II) such recognition is with respect to a
nuclear electric generating facility,  the  basis  for  determining  the
amount of such gain under this article shall be the cost of the property
less  the aggregate of the New York depreciation deductions on the prop-
erty determined under subparagraph four of this paragraph.
  (iii) No conversion of gain to loss.  In  the  event  that  the  basis
determined  under subclause (ii) of this clause results in determination
of a loss on the sale or disposition of the property, no  gain  or  loss
shall  be  recognized  under  this  article with respect to such sale or
disposition.
  (B) Nonrecognition transactions. (i) Carryover basis. (I) where  tran-
sition property is disposed of ("original disposition") in a transaction
of  a type requiring deferral of recognition of gain or loss for federal
income tax purposes, and where (II) there is a subsequent recognition of
gain or loss for federal income tax purposes ("clause B gain or  loss"),
the  amount of which is determined by reference, in whole or in part, to
the basis of such transition property  ("underlying  transition  proper-
ty"),  then  (III)  the  amount of such clause B gain or loss under this
article shall be adjusted as provided in subclause (ii) or (iii) of this
clause.
  (ii) General rule - book  basis  adjustment.  Except  as  provided  in
subclause  (iii)  of  this  clause, the amount of clause B gain shall be
reduced, or the amount of clause B loss  increased,  by  the  amount  by
which  the  book basis of the underlying transition property on the date
of original disposition (determined using the  provisions  of  subclause
(i)  of  clause (A) of this subparagraph) exceeds the federal income tax
basis of such property on such date.
  (iii) Qualified gain - New York basis adjustment. Where clause B  gain
either  (I) occurs in a taxable year ending after nineteen hundred nine-
ty-nine and before two thousand ten, or (II) is with respect to a nucle-
ar electric generating facility, the amount  of  such  gain  under  this
article shall be reduced, but not below zero, by the amount by which the
New  York  basis  of  the  underlying transition property on the date of
original disposition (determined using the provisions of subclause  (ii)
of clause (A) of this subparagraph) exceeds the federal income tax basis
of such property on such date.
  (iv)  Application  to  replacement  property and transferee taxpayers.
This clause shall apply whether the clause B gain or loss: (I)  is  with
respect  to either transition property or depreciable property the basis
of which is determined by reference to transition property, or  (II)  is
recognized  by  either a qualified public utility or by a taxpayer which
is a transferee of transition property (whether or not  such  transferee
is  a qualified public utility, notwithstanding subparagraph one of this
paragraph).
  (c-3) Depreciation adjustments by qualified power producers and  pipe-
line  companies.  (1)  In  the  case of a qualified taxpayer, entire net

S. 6359--A                         19                         A. 8559--A

department of public service, and (ii) for the year ending  on  December
thirty-first,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-nine,  was subject to tax under
former section one hundred eighty-six of this chapter on account of  its
being principally engaged in the business of supplying electricity.
  (C) Qualified pipeline. The term "qualified pipeline" means a taxpayer
which:  (i)  on December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-nine, was
subject to the ratemaking supervision of either the federal energy regu-
latory commission or the state department of public  service,  and  (ii)
for  the  year ending on December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-
nine, was subject to tax under sections one hundred eighty-three and one
hundred eighty-four of this chapter on account of its being  principally
engaged in the business of pipeline transmission.

placed  in  service  by  a  qualified taxpayer before January first, two
thousand, for which a depreciation deduction is  allowed  under  section
one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code.

erty, the deduction for federal income  tax  purposes  for  depreciation
shall not be allowed.
  (4)  New  York  depreciation.  With  respect to transition property, a
deduction shall be allowed for  the  depreciation  expense  computed  as
provided  in this subparagraph. (A) All transition property shown on the
books and records of the taxpayer on January first, two  thousand  shall
be  treated  as  a  single asset placed in service on such date. The New
York basis for purposes of computing the depreciation deduction on  such
single  asset  shall  be  the net book value of such transition property
determined on the first day of the federal taxable year  ending  in  two
thousand  (or  on  the  date  any such property is placed in service, if
later) adjusted as provided in clause (B) of this subparagraph.
  (B) If transition property is sold or otherwise disposed of,  the  New
York basis of the single asset shall be reduced on the date of such sale
or  disposition  by the amount of the adjusted federal tax basis of such
property on such date.
  (C) The New York depreciation deduction allowed for any  taxable  year
with  respect to such single asset shall be computed using the straight-
line method, a twenty-year life, and a salvage value of zero.
  (D) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "net book value" means
cost reduced by accumulated depreciation shown on the books and  records
of the taxpayer and determined, in the case of a qualified power produc-
er,  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; and in
the case of a qualified pipeline,  in  accordance  with  the  taxpayer's
regulatory  reports  filed with the federal energy regulatory commission
or state department of public service.
  (d) The [tax commission] COMMISSIONER may, whenever necessary in order
properly to reflect the entire net income of any taxpayer, determine the
year or period in which  any  item  of  income  or  deduction  shall  be
included,  without  regard  to  the method of accounting employed by the
taxpayer[;].

  (e) The entire net income of any bridge commission created by  act  of
congress  to  construct  a bridge across an international boundary means
its gross income less the expense of maintaining and operating its prop-
erties, the annual interest upon its bonds and  other  obligations,  and
the  annual  charge  for  the retirement of such bonds or obligations at
maturity[;].
  [(f) A net operating loss deduction shall be allowed  which  shall  be
presumably  the  same  as the net operating loss deduction allowed under
section one hundred seventy-two of the internal revenue code,  or  which
would  have  been allowed if the taxpayer had not made an election under
subchapter s of chapter one of the internal revenue code, except that in
every instance where such deduction is allowed under this article:
  (1) any net operating loss  included  in  determining  such  deduction
shall  be  adjusted to reflect the inclusions and exclusions from entire
net income required by paragraphs (a), (b) and (g) hereof,
  (2) such deduction shall not include any net operating loss  sustained
during  any  taxable  year  beginning  prior  to January first, nineteen
hundred sixty-one, or during any taxable year in which the taxpayer  was
not subject to the tax imposed by this article,
  (3) such deduction shall not exceed the deduction for the taxable year
allowed  under  section  one hundred seventy-two of the internal revenue
code, or the deduction for  the  taxable  year  which  would  have  been
allowed  if  the taxpayer had not made an election under subchapter s of
chapter one of the internal revenue code,
  (4) in the case of a New York S corporation, such deduction shall  not
include  any  net  operating  loss sustained during a New York C year or
during a New York S year beginning prior to nineteen hundred ninety, and
in the case of a New  York  C  corporation,  such  deduction  shall  not
include  any  net  operating  loss  sustained  during a New York S year,
provided, however, a New York S year shall be treated as a taxable  year
for  purposes  of determining the number of taxable years to which a net
operating loss may be carried back or carried forward, and
  (5) the net operating loss deduction allowed under section one hundred
seventy-two of the internal revenue code  shall  for  purposes  of  this
paragraph  be  determined  as  if  the  taxpayer  had elected under such
section to relinquish the entire carryback period with  respect  to  net
operating  losses, except with respect to the first ten thousand dollars
of each of such losses, sustained during taxable years ending after June
thirtieth, nineteen hundred eighty-nine.
  (g) For taxable years commencing  prior  to  January  first,  nineteen
hundred eighty-seven, at the election of the taxpayer, a deduction shall
be allowed for expenditures paid or incurred during the taxable year for
the  construction,  reconstruction,  erection  or  improvement of either
industrial waste treatment facilities or air pollution  control  facili-
ties,  or,  with  respect to taxable years beginning on or after January
first, nineteen hundred seventy-seven and before January first, nineteen
hundred eighty-one, industrial waste treatment controlled process facil-
ities or air pollution controlled process facilities.
  (1) (A) (1) The term "industrial  waste  treatment  facilities"  shall
mean  facilities  for  the treatment, neutralization or stabilization of
industrial waste and other wastes (as the terms "industrial  waste"  and
"other  wastes"  are  defined  in  section  17-0105 of the environmental
conservation law) from a point immediately preceding the point  of  such
treatment,  neutralization  or  stabilization  to the point of disposal,
including the necessary pumping and transmitting facilities.

S. 6359--A                         21                         A. 8559--A

  (2) The term "industrial waste treatment controlled process  facility"
shall mean such portion of the cost of an industrial production facility
designed  for  the  purpose  of  obviating the need for industrial waste
treatment facilities as defined in item one  of  this  clause  as  shall
exceed the cost of an industrial production facility of equal production
capacity  which  if constructed would require industrial waste treatment
facilities to meet emission standards in compliance with the  provisions
of the environmental conservation law and the codes, rules, regulations,
permits  or orders issued pursuant thereto but only to the extent of the
cost of such industrial waste treatment facilities.
  (B) (1) The term "air pollution control facilities" shall mean facili-
ties which remove, reduce, or render less noxious air contaminants emit-
ted from an air contamination source (as the terms "air contaminant" and
"air contamination source" are defined in section 19-0107 of  the  envi-
ronmental conservation law) from a point immediately preceding the point
of  such  removal,  reduction  or rendering to the point of discharge of
air, meeting emission standards as  established  by  the  department  of
environmental  conservation, but excluding such facilities installed for
the primary purpose of salvaging materials which are usable in the manu-
facturing process or are marketable and excluding those facilities which
rely for their efficacy on dilution, dispersion or assimilation  of  air
contaminants  in the ambient air after emission. Such term shall further
include flue gas desulfurization equipment and attendant sludge disposal
facilities, fluidized bed boilers, precombustion coal  cleaning  facili-
ties  or  other  facilities that conform with this subdivision and which
comply with the provisions of the state acid deposition control act  set
forth  in  title nine of article nineteen of the environmental conserva-
tion law.
  (2) The term "air pollution controlled process  facility"  shall  mean
such  portion  of the cost of an industrial production facility designed
for the purpose of obviating the need for air pollution control  facili-
ties  as  defined in item one of this clause as shall exceed the cost of
an industrial production facility of equal productive capacity which  if
constructed  would  require  air  pollution  control facilities to inert
emission standards as established pursuant to  title  three  of  article
nineteen of the environmental conservation law but only to the extent of
the cost of such air pollution control facilities.
  (2) However, such deduction shall be allowed only
  (A)  with  respect to tangible property which is depreciable, pursuant
to section one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code,  having
a  situs in this state and used in the taxpayer's trade or business, the
construction, reconstruction, erection or improvement of which,  in  the
case  of industrial waste treatment facilities, is initiated on or after
January first, nineteen hundred sixty-five or which, in the case of  air
pollution  control  facilities,  is initiated on or after January first,
nineteen hundred sixty-six, or which in the  case  of  industrial  waste
treatment  controlled  process  facilities  or  air pollution controlled
process facilities is initiated on and  after  January  first,  nineteen
hundred seventy-seven, and
  (B) on condition that such facilities have been certified by the state
commissioner  of  environmental conservation or his designated represen-
tative, pursuant to section 19-0309 of  the  environmental  conservation
law,  as  complying  with  applicable  provisions  of  the environmental
conservation law, the public health law, the  state  sanitary  code  and
codes,  rules,  regulations,  permits or orders issued pursuant thereto,
and

S. 6359--A                         22                         A. 8559--A

  (C) on condition that entire net income for the taxable year  and  all
succeeding  taxable  years  be  computed without any deductions for such
expenditures or for depreciation or amortization of  the  same  property
other  than  the deductions allowed by this paragraph (g), except to the
extent  that  the  basis  of the property may be attributable to factors
other than such expenditures, or in case a deduction is allowable pursu-
ant to this paragraph for only a part of such expenditures, on condition
that any deduction allowed for federal  income  tax  purposes  for  such
expenditures or for depreciation or amortization of the same property be
proportionately  reduced  in computing entire net income for the taxable
year and all succeeding taxable years, and
  (D) where the election provided for in paragraph  (d)  of  subdivision
three  of section two hundred ten of this chapter has not been exercised
in respect to the same property.
  (3) (A) If expenditures in respect to an  industrial  waste  treatment
facility,  an air pollution control facility, an industrial waste treat-
ment controlled process facility or an air pollution controlled  process
facility  have  been deducted as provided herein and if within ten years
from the end of the taxable year in which  such  deduction  was  allowed
such  property  or  any  part thereof is used for the primary purpose of
salvaging materials which are usable in the manufacturing process or are
marketable, the taxpayer shall report such change of use in  its  report
for  the  first taxable year during which it occurs, and the tax commis-
sion may recompute the  tax  for  the  year  or  years  for  which  such
deduction  was  allowed  and  any  carryback  or carryover year, and may
assess any additional tax resulting from such recomputation  within  the
time  fixed  by  paragraph nine of subsection (c) of section ten hundred
eighty-three of this chapter.
  (B) If a deduction is allowed as herein provided for expenditures paid
or incurred during any taxable year on the basis of a temporary  certif-
icate  of  compliance  issued pursuant to the environmental conservation
law and if the taxpayer fails  to  obtain  a  permanent  certificate  of
compliance  upon completion of the facilities with respect to which such
temporary certificate was issued, the taxpayer shall report such failure
in its report for the taxable year  during  which  such  facilities  are
completed,  and the tax commission may recompute the tax for the year or
years for which such deduction was allowed and any carryback  or  carry-
over  year,  and  may  assess  any additional tax resulting from in such
recomputation within the time fixed by paragraph nine of subsection  (c)
of section ten hundred eighty-three.
  (C) If a deduction is allowed as herein provided for expenditures paid
or  incurred  during  any  taxable  year  in respect to an air pollution
control facility on the basis of  a  certificate  of  compliance  issued
pursuant  to  the  environmental conservation law and the certificate is
revoked pursuant to subdivision three of section 19-0309 of the environ-
mental conservation law, the tax commission may recompute  the  tax  for
the year or years for which the facility is not or was not in compliance
with  the  applicable  provisions of the environmental conservation law,
the state sanitary code or codes, rules, regulations, permits or  orders
promulgated  pursuant thereto, and for which a deduction was allowed, as
well as for any carryback or carryover year to which such deduction  was
carried,  and may assess any additional tax resulting from such recompu-
tation within the time fixed by paragraph  nine  of  subsection  (c)  of
section ten hundred eighty-three.
  (4)  In  any  taxable year when property is sold or otherwise disposed
of, with respect to which a deduction has been allowed pursuant to  this

S. 6359--A                         23                         A. 8559--A

paragraph,  such  deduction  shall  be  disregarded in computing gain or
loss, and the gain or loss on the sale  or  other  disposition  of  such
property  shall  be  the  gain  or loss entering into the computation of
entire  taxable  income  which the taxpayer is required to report to the
United States treasury department for such taxable year.]
  (h) If the period covered by a report under this article is other than
the period covered by the report to the United States  treasury  depart-
ment,
  (1)  except  as provided in subparagraph two hereof, entire net income
shall be determined by multiplying the taxable income reported  to  such
department  (as  adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this article) by
the number of calendar months or major  parts  thereof  covered  by  the
report  under this article and dividing by the number of calendar months
or major parts thereof covered by the report to such department.  If  it
shall  appear that such method of determining entire net income does not
properly reflect the taxpayer's income during the period covered by  the
report  under  this  article, the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER shall be
authorized in its discretion to determine such entire net income  solely
on  the  basis of the taxpayer's income during the period covered by its
report under this article[;].
  (2) [in] IN the case of a  New  York  S  termination  year,  an  equal
portion of entire net income shall be assigned to each day of such year.
The  portion  of  such entire net income thereby assigned to the S short
year and the C short year shall be included in  the  respective  reports
for  the  S short year and the C short year under this article. However,
where paragraph three of subsection (s) of section six hundred twelve of
this chapter applies, the portion of such entire net income assigned  to
the  S  short year and the C short year shall be determined under normal
tax accounting rules.
  (i) With respect to a DISC which during any taxable year or  reporting
year  (1)  received  more  than five percent of its gross sales from the
sale of inventory or other property which it purchased from  its  stock-
holders,  (2)  received more than five percent of its gross rentals from
the rental of property which it purchased or rented from its  stockhold-
ers  or  (3) received more than five percent of its total receipts other
than sales and rentals from its stockholders, the  following  provisions
shall apply.
  (A)  For any taxable year in which sub-paragraph (B) of this paragraph
is in effect and not rendered invalid, a DISC  meeting  the  above  test
shall be exempt from all taxes imposed by this article.
  (B)  Supplemental to the provisions of subdivision five of section two
hundred eleven of this article, any taxpayer required to compute  a  tax
under  this  article, which during the taxable year being reported was a
stockholder in any DISC meeting the test prescribed in  this  paragraph,
shall  for any taxable year ending after December thirty-first, nineteen
hundred seventy-one adjust each item of its receipts,  expenses,  assets
and  liabilities,  as  otherwise  computed under this article, by adding
thereto its attributable share of each such DISC's  receipts,  expenses,
assets  and  liabilities  as  reportable by each such DISC to the United
States Treasury Department for its annual reporting period ending during
the current taxable year of such taxpayer; provided, however,  (1)  that
all transactions between the taxpayer and each such DISC shall be elimi-
nated  from  the  taxpayer's  adjusted  receipts,  expenses,  assets and
liabilities; (2) that the taxpayer's  entire  net  income  as  otherwise
computed  under this section, shall be reduced by subtracting the amount
of the deemed distribution of current income, if  any,  from  each  such

S. 6359--A                         24                         A. 8559--A

DISC  already  included  in  the  entire  net income of such taxpayer by
virtue of having been included in its entire  taxable  income  for  that
taxable  year  as reported to the United States Treasury Department; and
(3)  that  in  the  event this paragraph should be rendered invalid, all
DISC's and their stockholders taxable hereunder shall be  taxed  instead
under the remaining portions of this article.
  (j)  in the case of property placed in service in taxable years begin-
ning before nineteen hundred ninety-four, for  taxable  years  beginning
after  December  thirty-first,  nineteen hundred eighty-one, except with
respect to property subject to the provisions  of  section  two  hundred
eighty-F  of  the  internal  revenue  code  and  property subject to the
provisions of section one hundred sixty-eight of  the  internal  revenue
code which is placed in service in this state in taxable years beginning
after  December thirty-first, nineteen hundred eighty-four, and provided
a deduction has not been excluded from entire  net  income  pursuant  to
subparagraph  eight  of  paragraph  (b)  of this subdivision, a taxpayer
shall be allowed with respect  to  property  which  is  subject  to  the
provisions  of  section  one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue
code the depreciation deduction  allowable  under  section  one  hundred
sixty-seven  of  the  internal  revenue  code as such section would have
applied to property placed in service on December thirty-first, nineteen
hundred eighty. This paragraph shall not apply to property of a taxpayer
principally engaged in the conduct of aviation (other than  air  freight
forwarders  acting as principal and like indirect air carriers) which is
placed in service before taxable years  beginning  in  nineteen  hundred
eighty-nine.

  (ii)  the QSSS shall be exempt from all taxes imposed by this article,
and
  (B) where the QSSS is not a taxpayer,
  (i) if the QSSS is not an excluded corporation, the parent corporation
may make a QSSS inclusion election to include all  assets,  liabilities,
income  and  deductions  of  the QSSS as assets, liabilities, income and
deductions of the parent corporation, and
  (ii) in the absence of such election, or where the QSSS is an excluded

which is the parent of a QSSS which is a taxpayer, the  shareholders  of
the parent corporation shall be entitled to make the New York S election
under subsection (a) of section six hundred sixty of this chapter.
  (A)  For  any  taxable  year for which such election is in effect, the
parent corporation shall be subject to tax under this article as  a  New
York S corporation, and the provisions of clause (A) of subparagraph one
of this paragraph shall apply.
  (B) For any taxable year for which such election is not in effect, the
QSSS shall be a New York C corporation, and the entire net income of the
QSSS  shall  be  determined as if the federal QSSS election had not been
made. For purposes of such determination, the taxable year of the parent
corporation shall constitute the taxable year of  the  QSSS,  excluding,
however, any portion of such year during which the QSSS is not a taxpay-
er.
  (4)  S  corporation excluded. In the case of an S corporation which is
an excluded corporation and which is the parent of a  QSSS  which  is  a

nation shall be made on such form and in such manner as the commissioner
may prescribe by regulation or instruction.
  (l) Emerging technology investment deferral. In the case of  any  sale
of a qualified emerging technologies investment held for more than thir-
ty-six months and with respect to which the taxpayer elects the applica-
tion  of this paragraph, gain from such sale shall be recognized only to
the extent that the amount realized on such sale exceeds the cost of any
qualified emerging technologies investment  purchased  by  the  taxpayer
during  the three hundred sixty-five-day period beginning on the date of
such sale, reduced by any portion of such  cost  previously  taken  into
account under this paragraph. For purposes of this paragraph the follow-
ing shall apply:
  (1)  A  qualified investment is stock of a corporation or an interest,
other than as a creditor, in a partnership or limited liability  company
that was acquired by the taxpayer as provided in Internal Revenue Code S
1202(c)(1)(B),  except  that  the  reference to the term "stock" in such
section shall be read as "investment," or by the taxpayer from a  person
who had acquired such stock or interest in such a manner.
  (2)  A qualified emerging technology investment is a qualified invest-
ment, that was held by the taxpayer for at least thirty-six months, in a
company defined in paragraph (c) of subdivision one of  section  thirty-
one  hundred  two-e  of the public authorities law or an investment in a
partnership or limited liability company that is taxed as a  partnership

S. 6359--A                         26                         A. 8559--A

to the extent that such partnership or limited liability company invests
in qualified emerging technology companies.
  (3)  For  purposes  of  determining whether the nonrecognition of gain
under this subsection  applies  to  a  qualified  emerging  technologies
investment  that is sold, the taxpayer's holding period for such invest-
ment  and  the  qualified  emerging  technologies  investment  that   is
purchased  shall be determined without regard to Internal Revenue Code S
1223.
  (m) Amounts deferred. The amount deferred under paragraph (l) of  this
subdivision shall be added to entire net income when the reinvestment in
the  New  York  qualified  emerging technology company which qualified a
taxpayer for such deferral is sold.
  [(n) Qualified gas transportation contracts.
  (1) Any tax paid under this article allocable to receipts attributable
to a "qualified gas transportation contract" shall  be  deemed  to  have
been paid under article nine of this chapter for all purposes of law for
taxable  years  commencing  on  or  after  January  first, two thousand,
computed as hereinafter provided, if all of the following conditions are
met:
  (i) For periods ending prior  to  January  first,  two  thousand,  the
taxpayer  paid  the  franchise tax due under section one hundred eighty-
four of this chapter.
  (ii) For the taxable year, all  of  the  receipts  from  the  pipeline
transportation  of natural gas attributable to the taxpayer and included
in the taxpayer's entire net income (without regard to  this  paragraph)
are  solely from the transportation of natural gas for wholesale custom-
ers and commercial retail customers.
  (iii) The taxpayer's franchise tax liability under  this  article  for
the  taxable  year (computed without regard to this paragraph) is deter-
mined under paragraph (a) of subdivision one of section two hundred  ten
of  this  article,  and such tax liability (without regard to this para-
graph) is greater than the liability the taxpayer  would  have  incurred
under  sections  one hundred eighty-three and one hundred eighty-four of
this chapter (as such sections existed on December  thirty-first,  nine-
teen hundred ninety-nine) based on the same taxable period.
  (iv)  The  taxpayer  is  a  party  to  a "qualified gas transportation
contract," as defined herein.
  (2) The provisions of this paragraph shall apply only for the  taxable
years during which such qualified gas transportation contract is in full
force  and  effect, and shall apply only to the receipts of the taxpayer
less any expenses of the taxpayer (but not less than zero),  during  the
taxable  year,  to  the  extent included in entire net income, which are
attributable  to  any  such  qualified  gas  transportation   contracts.
Provided,  further,  in  any event, the characterization hereunder shall
expire and be of no further force and effect for taxable years  commenc-
ing on or after January first, two thousand fifteen.
  (3)  The  term  "qualified  gas  transportation contract" shall mean a
service agreement for the transportation of natural gas for an  end-user
which  is a qualified cogeneration facility with a rated capacity of one
thousand megawatts or more, which (i) was entered  into  before  January
first, two thousand, and was in full force and effect and binding on the
parties  thereto as of such date, (ii) as originally executed, was for a
term of at least twenty years, and (iii) the terms of which prohibit the
pass-through to such customer of the franchise tax  imposed  under  this
article,  while  allowing the recovery of the gross earnings tax imposed
under section one hundred eighty-four of this chapter. A contract  shall

S. 6359--A                         27                         A. 8559--A

not  qualify as a qualified gas transportation contract if there is: (i)
any renewal or extension of an otherwise  qualified  gas  transportation
contract  occurring on or after January first, two thousand, or (ii) any
material amendment to, or supplementation of, an otherwise qualified gas
transportation  contract on or after such date. Such renewal, extension,
or material amendment or supplementation shall have the same  force  and
effect  of terminating the characterization hereunder as if the qualify-
ing contract had expired by its own terms.
  (o)] (N-1) For taxable years beginning  after  December  thirty-first,
two  thousand  two, in the case of qualified property described in para-
graph two of subsection k of section 168 of the internal  revenue  code,
other than qualified resurgence zone property described in paragraph (q)
of  this  subdivision,  and  other  than qualified New York Liberty Zone
property described in paragraph two of subsection b of section 1400L  of
the  internal revenue code (without regard to clause (i) of subparagraph
(C) of such paragraph), which was placed in service  on  or  after  June
first,  two  thousand three, a taxpayer shall be allowed with respect to
such property the depreciation deduction allowable under section 167  of
the  internal  revenue  code  as such section would have applied to such
property had it been acquired by the taxpayer on  September  tenth,  two
thousand one.
  (o)  Related  members  expense  add back. (1) Definitions. (A) Related
member. "Related member" means a related person as defined  in  subpara-
graph  (c)  of paragraph three of subsection (b) of section four hundred
sixty-five of the internal revenue code,  except  that  "fifty  percent"
shall be substituted for "ten percent".
  (B)  Effective  rate  of tax. "Effective rate of tax" means, as to any
state or U.S. possession, the maximum statutory rate of tax  imposed  by
the  state or possession on or measured by a related member's net income
multiplied by the apportionment percentage, if any,  applicable  to  the
related member under the laws of said jurisdiction. For purposes of this
definition, the effective rate of tax as to any state or U.S. possession
is  zero  where  the  related  member's net income tax liability in said
jurisdiction is reported on a combined or consolidated return  including
both the taxpayer and the related member where the reported transactions
between  the  taxpayer  and the related member are eliminated or offset.
Also, for purposes of this definition, when computing the effective rate
of tax for a jurisdiction in which a  related  member's  net  income  is
eliminated or offset by a credit or similar adjustment that is dependent
upon  the related member either maintaining or managing intangible prop-
erty or collecting interest income in  that  jurisdiction,  the  maximum
statutory rate of tax imposed by said jurisdiction shall be decreased to
reflect  the statutory rate of tax that applies to the related member as
effectively reduced by such credit or similar adjustment.
  (C) Royalty payments. Royalty payments are payments directly connected
to the acquisition, use, maintenance  or  management,  ownership,  sale,
exchange,  or any other disposition of licenses, trademarks, copyrights,
trade names, trade dress, service  marks,  mask  works,  trade  secrets,
patents  and  any other similar types of intangible assets as determined
by  the  commissioner,  and  include  amounts  allowable   as   interest
deductions under section one hundred sixty-three of the internal revenue
code  to the extent such amounts are directly or indirectly for, related
to or in connection with the acquisition, use,  maintenance  or  manage-
ment,  ownership,  sale,  exchange  or  disposition  of  such intangible
assets.

  (D) Valid Business Purpose. A valid business purpose is  one  or  more
business  purposes,  other  than the avoidance or reduction of taxation,
which alone or in combination constitute the primary motivation for some
business activity or transaction, which activity or transaction  changes
in  a  meaningful  way, apart from tax effects, the economic position of
the taxpayer. The economic position of the taxpayer includes an increase
in the market share of the taxpayer, or the entry by the  taxpayer  into
new business markets.
  (2) Royalty expense add backs. (A) Except where a taxpayer is included
in a combined report with a related member pursuant to [subdivision four
of]  section two hundred [eleven] TEN-C of this article, for the purpose
of computing entire net income or  other  applicable  taxable  basis,  a
taxpayer  must  add  back  royalty payments directly or indirectly paid,
accrued, or incurred in connection with one or more direct  or  indirect
transactions with one or more related members during the taxable year to
the extent deductible in calculating federal taxable income.
  (B)  Exceptions.  (i)  The adjustment required in this paragraph shall
not apply to the portion of the royalty payment that the taxpayer estab-
lishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the type  and  in  the  form
specified  by the commissioner, meets all of the following requirements:
(I) the related member was subject to tax in this state or another state
or possession of the United States or a foreign nation or some  combina-
tion  thereof  on  a  tax  base  that included the royalty payment paid,
accrued or incurred by the taxpayer; (II) the related member during  the
same  taxable year directly or indirectly paid, accrued or incurred such
portion to a person that is not a related member; and (III)  the  trans-
action  giving  rise to the royalty payment between the taxpayer and the
related member was undertaken for a valid business purpose.
  (ii) The adjustment required in this paragraph shall not apply if  the
taxpayer  establishes,  by clear and convincing evidence of the type and
in the form specified by the commissioner, that: (I) the related  member
was  subject  to  tax  on or measured by its net income in this state or
another state or possession of the United  States  or  some  combination
thereof;  (II)  the  tax  base for said tax included the royalty payment
paid, accrued or incurred by  the  taxpayer;  and  (III)  the  aggregate
effective  rate  of tax applied to the related member in those jurisdic-
tions is no less than eighty percent of the statutory rate of  tax  that
applied  to  the  taxpayer under section two hundred ten of this article
for the taxable year.
  (iii) [The adjustment required in this paragraph shall  not  apply  if
the  taxpayer  establishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the type
and in the form specified by the commissioner,  that:  (I)  the  royalty
payment  was  paid,  accrued  or  incurred to a related member organized
under the laws of a country other  than  the  United  States;  (II)  the
related member's income from the transaction was subject to a comprehen-
sive income tax treaty between such country and the United States; (III)
the  related member was subject to tax in a foreign nation on a tax base
that included the royalty payment  paid,  accrued  or  incurred  by  the
taxpayer;  (IV)  the  related  member's  income from the transaction was
taxed in such country at an effective rate of tax at least equal to that
imposed by this state; and (V) the royalty payment was paid, accrued  or
incurred pursuant to a transaction that was undertaken for a valid busi-
ness purpose and using terms that reflect an arm's length relationship.
  (iv)] The adjustment required in this paragraph shall not apply if the
taxpayer and the commissioner agree in writing to the application or use
of alternative adjustments or computations. The commissioner may, in his

S. 6359--A                         29                         A. 8559--A

or  her  discretion,  agree  to  the  application  or use of alternative
adjustments or computations when he or she concludes that in the absence
of such agreement the income of  the  taxpayer  would  not  be  properly
reflected.
  (p) For taxable years beginning after December thirty-first, two thou-
sand  two,  upon  the  disposition  of property to which paragraph [(o)]
(N-1) of this subdivision applies, the amount of any gain or loss inclu-
dible in entire net income shall be adjusted to reflect  the  inclusions
and exclusions from entire net income pursuant to subparagraph seventeen
of  paragraph  (a)  and  subparagraph seventeen of paragraph (b) of this
subdivision attributable to such property.
  (q) For purposes of paragraphs [(o)] (N-1) and (p)  of  this  subdivi-
sion,  qualified  resurgence zone property shall mean qualified property
described in paragraph two of subsection k of section 168 of the  inter-
nal  revenue code substantially all of the use of which is in the resur-
gence zone, as defined below, and is in the active conduct of a trade or
business by the taxpayer in such zone, and the original use of which  in
the  resurgence  zone commences with the taxpayer after December thirty-
first, two thousand two. The resurgence zone shall mean the area of  New
York county bounded on the south by a line running from the intersection
of  the Hudson River with the Holland Tunnel, and running thence east to
Canal Street, then running along the centerline of Canal Street  to  the
intersection  of the Bowery and Canal Street, running thence in a south-
easterly direction diagonally across  Manhattan  Bridge  Plaza,  to  the
Manhattan Bridge and thence along the centerline of the Manhattan Bridge
to  the  point where the centerline of the Manhattan Bridge would inter-
sect with the easterly bank of the East River, and bounded on the  north
by  a  line  running  from the intersection of the Hudson River with the
Holland Tunnel and running thence north along West Avenue to the  inter-
section  of  Clarkson  Street  then running east along the centerline of
Clarkson Street to the intersection of Washington Avenue,  then  running
south  along  the centerline of Washington Avenue to the intersection of
West Houston Street, then east along  the  centerline  of  West  Houston
Street,  then at the intersection of the Avenue of the Americas continu-
ing east along the centerline of East Houston  Street  to  the  easterly

THE COMBINED GROUP FOR PURPOSES OF THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE MULTIPLIED BY
A FRACTION, THE NUMERATOR OF WHICH IS THE AVERAGE TOTAL  ASSETS  OF  ALL
THE  THRIFT  INSTITUTIONS  OR  QUALIFIED COMMUNITY BANKS INCLUDED IN THE
COMBINED REPORT AND THE DENOMINATOR OF WHICH IS THE AVERAGE TOTAL ASSETS
OF ALL THE CORPORATIONS INCLUDED IN THE COMBINED REPORT.
  (II) MEASUREMENT OF ASSETS FOR PURPOSES  OF  THIS  CLAUSE.  (I)  TOTAL

LOANS OWNED BY THE THRIFT INSTITUTION OR COMMUNITY BANK DURING THE TAXA-
BLE YEAR AND THE DENOMINATOR OF WHICH IS THE AVERAGE TOTAL ASSETS OF THE
THRIFT INSTITUTION OR COMMUNITY BANK DURING THE TAXABLE YEAR.
  (II) MEASUREMENT OF ASSETS FOR PURPOSES  OF  THIS  CLAUSE.  (I)  TOTAL

HUNDRED TEN-C AND  two  hundred  eleven  shall  be  applicable  to  this
section,  except  that  for  purposes  of an automatic extension for six

section,  such  automatic  extension shall be allowed only if a taxpayer
files with the commissioner an application for extension in such form as
said commissioner may prescribe by regulation and pays on or before  the
date of such filing in addition to any other amounts required under this
article,  either  ninety percent of the entire tax surcharge required to
be paid under this section for the applicable period, or not  less  than
the tax surcharge shown on the taxpayer's return for the preceding taxa-
ble  year,  if  such preceding taxable year was a taxable year of twelve
months; provided, however, that in no event shall such  amount  be  less

the  balance  thereof,  imposed on any taxpayer which ceases to exercise
its franchise or be subject to the tax surcharge imposed by this section
shall be payable to the commissioner at the time the report is  required
to be filed, provided such tax surcharge of a domestic corporation which
continues to possess its franchise shall be subject to adjustment as the
circumstances  may require; all other tax surcharges of any such taxpay-
er, which pursuant to the foregoing provisions  of  this  section  would
otherwise  be  payable subsequent to the time such report is required to
be filed, shall nevertheless  be  payable  at  such  time.  All  of  the
provisions  of  this  article presently applicable are applicable to the
tax surcharge imposed by this section.

  1.  The  tax imposed by subdivision one of section two hundred nine of
this chapter shall be: (A) in the case of each taxpayer other than a New
York S corporation or a qualified homeowners association,  the  [sum  of
(1) the] highest of the amounts prescribed in paragraphs (a), (b), [(c)]
and  (d) of this subdivision [and (2) the amount prescribed in paragraph
(e) of this subdivision], (B) in the case of  each  New  York  S  corpo-

sion, and (C) in the case of a  qualified  homeowners  association,  the
[sum  of (1) the] highest of the amounts prescribed in paragraphs (a)[,]
AND (b) [and (c)] of this subdivision [and (2) the amount prescribed  in
paragraph  (e) of this subdivision]. For purposes of this paragraph, the
term "qualified homeowners association" means a homeowners  association,
as  such term is defined in subsection (c) of section five hundred twen-
ty-eight of the internal revenue code without regard to subparagraph (E)
of paragraph one of such subsection (relating to elections to  be  taxed
pursuant  to  such section), which has no homeowners association taxable
income, as such term is defined  in  subsection  (d)  of  such  section.
Provided,  however, that in the case of a small business taxpayer (other
than a New York S corporation) as  defined  in  paragraph  (f)  of  this
subdivision, FOR TAXABLE YEARS BEGINNING BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOU-
SAND  SIXTEEN,  if the amount prescribed in such paragraph (b) is higher
than the amount prescribed in such paragraph (a) solely by reason of the
application of the rate applicable to  small  business  taxpayers,  then
with  respect  to  such  taxpayer  the  tax  referred to in the previous
sentence shall be [the sum of (1) the highest]  HIGHER  of  the  amounts
prescribed in paragraphs (a)[, (c)] and (d) of this subdivision [and (2)
the amount prescribed in paragraph (e) of this subdivision].
  (a)  [Entire  net]  BUSINESS income base. [For taxable years beginning
before July first, nineteen hundred ninety-nine, the  amount  prescribed
by  this  paragraph shall be computed at the rate of nine percent of the
taxpayer's entire net income base. For  taxable  years  beginning  after
June  thirtieth, nineteen hundred ninety-nine and before July first, two
thousand, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be  computed  at
the  rate  of  eight  and  one-half percent of the taxpayer's entire net
income base. For taxable years beginning after June thirtieth, two thou-
sand and before July first, two thousand one, the amount  prescribed  by
this  paragraph  shall  be  computed at the rate of eight percent of the
taxpayer's entire net income base. For  taxable  years  beginning  after
June  thirtieth, two thousand one and before January first, two thousand
seven, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be computed at  the
rate  of  seven and one-half percent of the taxpayer's entire net income
base.] For taxable years beginning [on or after] BEFORE  January  first,
two  thousand  [seven]  SIXTEEN, the amount prescribed by this paragraph
shall be computed at the rate of seven  and  one-tenth  percent  of  the
taxpayer's  [entire  net] BUSINESS income base. FOR TAXABLE YEARS BEGIN-
NING ON OR  AFTER  JANUARY  FIRST,  TWO  THOUSAND  SIXTEEN,  THE  AMOUNT
PRESCRIBED  BY  THIS  PARAGRAPH SHALL BE SIX AND ONE-HALF PERCENT OF THE
TAXPAYER'S BUSINESS INCOME BASE. The taxpayer's  [entire  net]  BUSINESS
income  base shall mean the portion of the taxpayer's [entire net] BUSI-
NESS income allocated within the state as hereinafter provided[, subject
to any modification required by paragraphs (d) and  (e)  of  subdivision
three of this section]. However, in the case of a small business taxpay-

er,  as  defined  in  paragraph  (f)  of  this  subdivision,  the amount
prescribed by this paragraph shall be computed pursuant to  subparagraph
(iv)  of this paragraph and in the case of a manufacturer, as defined in
subparagraph (vi) of this paragraph, the amount prescribed by this para-
graph shall be computed pursuant to subparagraph (vi) of this paragraph.
  [(i)  if the entire net income base is not more than two hundred thou-
sand dollars, (1) for taxable years beginning before July  first,  nine-
teen  hundred  ninety-nine,  the  amount  shall  be eight percent of the

thirteen thousand seven hundred dollars, (b) 7.5 percent of  the  excess
of  the entire net income base over two hundred thousand dollars and (c)
3.25 percent of the excess of  the  entire  net  income  base  over  two

  (E) Divide the result obtained in (D) by twelve.
  (vi) except as otherwise provided in this subparagraph or subparagraph
(vii) of this paragraph, for taxable years beginning on or after January
thirty-first,  two  thousand  seven, the amount prescribed by this para-
graph for a taxpayer which is a  qualified  New  York  manufacturer,  as
defined  in  subdivision  fifteen  of  section two hundred eight of this
article, a qualified New  York  agricultural  business,  as  defined  in
clause (C) of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of subdivision [twelve]
ONE of [this] section TWO HUNDRED TEN-B OF THIS ARTICLE, and a qualified
New  York mining business, as defined in clause (D) of subparagraph (ii)
of paragraph (b) of subdivision  [twelve]  ONE  of  [this]  section  TWO
HUNDRED  TEN-B OF THIS ARTICLE, shall be computed at the rate of six and
one-half (6.5) percent of the taxpayer's [entire  net]  BUSINESS  income
base.  [For taxable years beginning on or after January first, two thou-
sand twelve and before January first, two thousand fifteen,  the  amount
prescribed  by this paragraph for a taxpayer which is an eligible quali-
fied New York manufacturer shall be computed at the rate  of  three  and
one-quarter  (3.25)  percent  of  the taxpayer's entire net income base.
The commissioner shall establish guidelines and  criteria  that  specify
requirements  by  which  a manufacturer may be classified as an eligible
qualified New York manufacturer. Criteria may include but not be limited
to factors such as regional unemployment, the economic impact that manu-
facturing has on the surrounding community,  population  decline  within
the region and median income within the region in which the manufacturer
is  located.  In establishing these guidelines and criteria, the commis-
sioner shall endeavor that the total annual  cost  of  the  lower  rates
shall not exceed twenty-five million dollars.]
  For  a  qualified  New  York  manufacturer,  as defined in subdivision
fifteen of section two hundred eight of this article,  a  qualified  New
York  agricultural  business,  as  defined in clause (C) of subparagraph
(ii) of paragraph (b) of subdivision [twelve] ONE of [this] section  TWO
HUNDRED TEN-B OF THIS ARTICLE, and a qualified New York mining business,

S. 6359--A                         45                         A. 8559--A

as defined in clause (D) of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of subdi-
vision [twelve] ONE of [this] section TWO HUNDRED TEN-B OF THIS ARTICLE,
the rate at which the tax is computed in effect for taxable years begin-
ning on or after January first, two thousand thirteen and before January
first,  two thousand fourteen for qualified New York manufacturers shall
be reduced by nine and two-tenths percent for taxable  years  commencing
on  or  after  January  first,  two thousand fourteen and before January
first, two thousand fifteen, twelve and three-tenths percent for taxable
years commencing on or after January first,  two  thousand  fifteen  and
before  January  first,  two  thousand  sixteen, fifteen and four-tenths

prescribed  by  this  paragraph  for taxable years beginning on or after
January first, two thousand fourteen shall be computed at  the  rate  of
zero percent of the taxpayer's entire net income base.
  (VIII)  IN  COMPUTING  THE  BUSINESS INCOME BASE, A NET OPERATING LOSS
DEDUCTION SHALL BE ALLOWED. A NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION IS THE AMOUNT
OF NET OPERATING LOSS OR LOSSES FROM ONE OR MORE TAXABLE YEARS THAT  ARE
CARRIED FORWARD TO A PARTICULAR INCOME YEAR. A NET OPERATING LOSS IS THE
AMOUNT  OF  A BUSINESS LOSS INCURRED IN A PARTICULAR TAX YEAR MULTIPLIED
BY THE APPORTIONMENT FACTOR FOR THAT YEAR AS  DETERMINED  UNDER  SECTION
TWO  HUNDRED  TEN-A OF THIS ARTICLE. THE MAXIMUM NET OPERATING DEDUCTION
THAT IS ALLOWED IN A TAXABLE YEAR IS THE AMOUNT THAT REDUCES THE TAXPAY-
ER'S TAX ON ALLOCATED BUSINESS INCOME TO THE HIGHER OF THE  TAX  ON  THE
CAPITAL  BASE  OR  THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM. SUCH DEDUCTION AND LOSS ARE
DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING:
  (1) SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION IS NOT  LIMITED  TO  THE  AMOUNT
ALLOWED  UNDER  SECTION  ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-TWO OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE
CODE OR THE AMOUNT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED IF THE TAXPAYER HAD  NOT
MADE  AN  ELECTION  UNDER  SUBCHAPTER  S  OF CHAPTER ONE OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE.
  (2) SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY NET  OPER-
ATING  LOSS  INCURRED DURING ANY TAXABLE YEAR BEGINNING PRIOR TO JANUARY
FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN, OR DURING ANY TAXABLE  YEAR  IN  WHICH  THE
TAXPAYER WAS NOT SUBJECT TO THE TAX IMPOSED BY THIS ARTICLE.
  (3) A TAXPAYER THAT FILES AS PART OF A FEDERAL CONSOLIDATED RETURN BUT
ON  A  SEPARATE  BASIS  FOR  PURPOSES  OF  THIS ARTICLE MUST COMPUTE ITS
DEDUCTION AND LOSS AS IF IT WERE FILING ON A SEPARATE BASIS FOR  FEDERAL
INCOME TAX PURPOSES.
  (4) A NET OPERATING LOSS MUST BE CARRIED FORWARD TO EACH OF THE TWENTY
TAXABLE  YEARS  FOLLOWING  THE TAXABLE YEAR OF THE LOSS. NO CARRYBACK OF
THE NET OPERATING LOSS IS ALLOWED. A TAXPAYER MUST APPLY BOTH  OF  THESE
LIMITATIONS IN COMPUTING SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION.
  (5)  SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY NET OPER-
ATING LOSS INCURRED DURING A NEW YORK S YEAR; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,  A  NEW
YORK  S YEAR MUST BE TREATED AS A TAXABLE YEAR FOR PURPOSES OF DETERMIN-
ING THE NUMBER OF TAXABLE YEARS TO WHICH A NET  OPERATING  LOSS  MAY  BE
CARRIED FORWARD.
  (6)  WHERE  THERE  ARE  TWO OR MORE ALLOCATED NET OPERATING LOSSES, OR
PORTIONS THEREOF, CARRIED FORWARD TO BE DEDUCTED IN ONE  PARTICULAR  TAX

YEAR  FROM  ALLOCATED  BUSINESS  INCOME,  THE  EARLIEST  ALLOCATED  LOSS
INCURRED MUST BE APPLIED FIRST.
  (b)  Capital  base.  (1)  The [amount prescribed by this paragraph for
taxable years beginning before January first, two thousand  eight  shall

after  January first, two thousand eight, the] amount prescribed by this
paragraph shall be computed  at .15  percent  for  each  dollar  of  the
taxpayer's total business [and investment] capital, or the portion ther-
eof  allocated within the state as hereinafter provided. However, in the
case of a cooperative housing corporation as  defined  in  the  internal
revenue  code,  the  applicable  rate shall be .04 percent.  In no event
shall the amount prescribed by this paragraph exceed three hundred fifty
thousand dollars for qualified New York manufacturers and for all  other
taxpayers  [ten] FIVE million dollars [for taxable years beginning on or
after January first, two thousand eight but before  January  first,  two
thousand  eleven  and one million dollars for taxable years beginning on
or after January first, two thousand eleven].
  (2) For a qualified New York manufacturer, as defined  in  subdivision
fifteen  of  section  two hundred eight of this article, a qualified New
York agricultural business, as defined in  clause  (C)  of  subparagraph
(ii)  of paragraph (b) of subdivision [twelve] ONE of [this] section TWO
HUNDRED TEN-B OF THIS ARTICLE, and a qualified New York mining business,
as defined in clause (D) of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of subdi-
vision [twelve] ONE of [this] section TWO HUNDRED TEN-B OF THIS ARTICLE,

and three-tenths percent for taxable years commencing on or after  Janu-
ary  first,  two thousand fifteen and before January first, two thousand
sixteen, fifteen and four-tenths percent for taxable years commencing on
or after January first, two thousand sixteen and before  January  first,
two  thousand eighteen, and twenty-five percent for taxable years begin-
ning on or after January first, two thousand eighteen.
  [(c) Minimum taxable income bases. (i)  For  taxable  years  beginning
after  nineteen  hundred  eighty-six and before nineteen hundred eighty-
nine, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be computed  at  the
rate  of  three  and  one-half  percent  of  the taxpayer's pre-nineteen
hundred ninety minimum taxable income base. For taxable years  beginning
in nineteen hundred eighty-nine, the amount prescribed by this paragraph
shall  be  computed  at  the rate of five percent of the taxpayer's pre-
nineteen hundred ninety minimum taxable income base. A "taxpayer's  pre-
nineteen  hundred  ninety  minimum  taxable  income base" shall mean the
portion of the taxpayer's entire net income allocated within  the  state
as  hereinafter  provided, subject to any modification required by para-
graphs (d) and (e) of subdivision three of this section;
  (ii) (A) For taxable years beginning on or after  January  first,  two
thousand  seven,  the  amount  prescribed  by  this  paragraph  shall be

cated within the state as hereinafter provided, subject to any modifica-

have the same meaning as in subparagraph (vi) of paragraph (a)  of  this
subdivision.
  (iii)  For  a  qualified New York manufacturer, as defined in subpara-
graph (vi) of paragraph (a) of this subdivision, a  qualified  New  York

paragraph (b) of subdivision twelve of this section, and a qualified New
York mining business, as defined in clause (D) of subparagraph  (ii)  of
paragraph  (b)  of subdivision twelve of this section, the rate at which
the tax is computed in effect for taxable years beginning  on  or  after
January first, two thousand thirteen and before January first, two thou-
sand  fourteen  for qualified New York manufacturers shall be reduced by
nine and two-tenths percent for taxable years  commencing  on  or  after

sand fifteen, twelve and three-tenths percent for taxable years commenc-
ing  on  or after January first, two thousand fifteen and before January

receipts within and without this state of one thousand dollars or  less,
and the average value of the assets of which are one thousand dollars or
less, eight hundred dollars.
  (2) For purposes of this paragraph:
  (A)  gross  payroll shall be the same as the total wages, salaries and
other personal service compensation of  all  the  taxpayer's  employees,
within and without this state, as defined in subparagraph three of para-
graph  (a)  of  subdivision  three  of this section, except that general

  (C) average value of the assets shall be the  same  as  prescribed  by
subdivision two of this section without reduction for liabilities.
  (3)  If  the  taxable  year  is  less  than  twelve months, the amount
prescribed by this paragraph shall be reduced by twenty-five percent  if
the  period  for  which  the taxpayer is subject to tax is more than six
months but not more than nine months and by fifty percent if the  period
for  which  the  taxpayer is subject to tax is not more than six months.
Provided, however, that in determining the amount of gross  payroll  and
total receipts for purposes of subparagraph one of this paragraph, where
the taxable year is less than twelve months, the amount of each shall be
determined  by  dividing  the amount of each with respect to the taxable
year by the number of months in such taxable year  and  multiplying  the
result  by  twelve.  If the taxable year is less than twelve months, the
amount of New York receipts for purposes of subparagraph  four  of  this
paragraph  is  determined by dividing the amount of the receipts for the
taxable year by the number of months in the taxable year and multiplying
the result by twelve.
  (4) Notwithstanding subparagraphs one and two of this  paragraph,  for
taxable  years  beginning on or after January first, two thousand eight,
the] amount prescribed by this paragraph for  New  York  S  corporations
will be determined in accordance with the following table:

If New York receipts are:                The fixed dollar minimum tax is:
 not more than $100,000                               $   25

THE  TAXABLE YEAR BY THE NUMBER OF MONTHS IN THE TAXABLE YEAR AND MULTI-
PLYING THE RESULT BY TWELVE. IN THE CASE OF A TERMINATION YEAR OF A  NEW
YORK S CORPORATION, THE SUM OF THE TAX COMPUTED UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH FOR
THE  S  SHORT  YEAR  AND FOR THE C SHORT YEAR SHALL NOT BE LESS THAN THE
AMOUNT COMPUTED UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH AS IF THE CORPORATION  WERE  A  NEW
YORK C CORPORATION FOR THE ENTIRE TAXABLE YEAR.
  [(5)  For taxable years beginning on or after January first, two thou-
sand twelve and before January first, two thousand fifteen, the  amounts
prescribed  in subparagraphs one and four of this paragraph as the fixed
dollar minimum tax for an eligible qualified New York manufacturer shall

of  this subparagraph, the term "eligible qualified New York manufactur-
er" shall have the same meaning as in subparagraph (vi) of paragraph (a)
of this subdivision.
  (6) For a qualified New York manufacturer, as defined  in  subdivision

graph shall be computed at the rate of nine-tenths of a  mill  for  each
dollar  of  the  portion  of the taxpayer's subsidiary capital allocated
within the state as hereinafter provided.
  (2) For purposes of this paragraph,  the  amount  of  such  subsidiary

indebtedness from, subsidiaries subject to tax under section one hundred
eighty-six  of this chapter (but only to the extent such indebtedness is
included in subsidiary capital), and (ii) investments in the  stock  of,
and  any  indebtedness  from,  subsidiaries subject to tax under article
thirty-two or thirty-three of this chapter (but only to the extent  such
indebtedness  is included in subsidiary capital). For purposes of clause
(i) of this subparagraph, the  applicable  percentage  shall  be  thirty
percent  for  taxable  years  beginning in two thousand, and one hundred
percent for taxable years beginning after two thousand. For purposes  of

AMOUNT  OF  MONEY  AND  OTHER  PROPERTY  RECEIVED BY THE CORPORATION FOR
STOCK, AS A CONTRIBUTION TO CAPITAL, AND AS PAID-IN  SURPLUS,  DOES  NOT
EXCEED  ONE  MILLION DOLLARS; [and] (iii) which is not part of an affil-
iated group, as defined in section 1504 of the  internal  revenue  code,
unless  such  group,  if  it  had filed a report under this article on a
combined basis, would have itself qualified as a "small business taxpay-
er" pursuant to this subdivision; AND (IV) WHICH HAS AN  AVERAGE  NUMBER
OF INDIVIDUALS, EXCLUDING GENERAL EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, EMPLOYED FULL-TIME
IN  THE  STATE  DURING THE TAXABLE YEAR OF ONE HUNDRED OR FEWER.  If the
taxable period to which subparagraph (i) of this  paragraph  applies  is
less than twelve months, entire net income under such subparagraph shall
be  placed  on  an  annual basis by multiplying the entire net income by
twelve and dividing the result by the number of months  in  the  period.
FOR  PURPOSES  OF  SUBPARAGRAPH (II) OF THIS PARAGRAPH, THE AMOUNT TAKEN
INTO ACCOUNT WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROPERTY OTHER THAN MONEY SHALL BE  THE
AMOUNT  EQUAL  TO THE ADJUSTED BASIS TO THE CORPORATION OF SUCH PROPERTY
FOR DETERMINING GAIN, REDUCED BY ANY LIABILITY TO WHICH THE PROPERTY WAS
SUBJECT OR WHICH WAS ASSUMED BY THE CORPORATION. THE DETERMINATION UNDER
THE PRECEDING SENTENCE SHALL BE MADE AS OF THE  TIME  THE  PROPERTY  WAS
RECEIVED  BY THE CORPORATION. FOR PURPOSES OF SUBPARAGRAPH (III) OF THIS
SECTION, "AVERAGE NUMBER OF  INDIVIDUALS,  EXCLUDING  GENERAL  EXECUTIVE
OFFICERS,  EMPLOYED  FULL-TIME"  SHALL  BE  COMPUTED BY ASCERTAINING THE
NUMBER OF SUCH INDIVIDUALS EMPLOYED BY THE TAXPAYER ON THE  THIRTY-FIRST
DAY  OF MARCH, THE THIRTIETH DAY OF JUNE, THE THIRTIETH DAY OF SEPTEMBER
AND THE THIRTY-FIRST DAY OF DECEMBER DURING EACH TAXABLE YEAR  OR  OTHER
APPLICABLE  PERIOD,  BY  ADDING  TOGETHER THE NUMBER OF SUCH INDIVIDUALS
ASCERTAINED ON EACH OF SUCH DATES AND DIVIDING THE SUM  SO  OBTAINED  BY
THE  NUMBER  OF  SUCH  DATES OCCURRING WITHIN SUCH TAXABLE YEAR OR OTHER
APPLICABLE PERIOD. AN INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYED FULL-TIME MEANS AN EMPLOYEE IN
A JOB CONSISTING OF AT LEAST THIRTY-FIVE HOURS PER WEEK, OR TWO OR  MORE
EMPLOYEES  WHO  ARE IN JOBS THAT TOGETHER CONSTITUTE THE EQUIVALENT OF A
JOB  AT  LEAST  THIRTY-FIVE  HOURS  PER  WEEK  (FULL-TIME   EQUIVALENT).

LARLY CONNECTED WITH OR WORKING OUT OF AN OFFICE OR PLACE OF BUSINESS OF
THE TAXPAYER WITHIN THE STATE.

this paragraph shall be, in the case of each  New  York  S  corporation,
[(i)  the  higher of the amounts prescribed in paragraphs (a) and (d) of
this subdivision (other than the amount prescribed in the  final  clause
of  subparagraph  one of that paragraph (d)) (ii) reduced by the article
twenty-two tax equivalent;  provided,  however,  that  the  amount  thus
determined  shall  not be less than the lowest of the amounts prescribed
in subparagraph one of that paragraph (d) (applying  the  provisions  of
subparagraph  three  of that paragraph as necessary). Provided, however,
notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph, in taxable years begin-
ning in two thousand three and before two  thousand  eight,  the  amount
prescribed  by this paragraph shall be the amount prescribed in subpara-
graph one of that paragraph (d) (applying the provisions of subparagraph
three of that paragraph as necessary) and applying  the  calculation  of
that  amount  in the case of a termination year as set forth in subpara-
graph four of this paragraph as necessary. In taxable years beginning in
two thousand eight and thereafter, the amount prescribed by  this  para-
graph  is]  the amount prescribed in subparagraph four of that paragraph
(d) [(applying the provisions of subparagraph three of that paragraph as
necessary)] and applying the calculation of that amount in the case of a

S. 6359--A                         52                         A. 8559--A

termination year as set forth in subparagraph four of this paragraph  as

ty-nine and before July first, two thousand, the article twenty-two  tax
equivalent  is  the amount computed under paragraph (a) of this subdivi-
sion by substituting for the rate therein the rate of 7.525 percent. For
taxable years beginning after June thirtieth, two  thousand  and  before

for the rate therein the rate of 7.5 percent, and the article twenty-two
tax equivalent under paragraph (a) of this subdivision shall be computed
as follows:
  (i) if the entire net income base is not more than two  hundred  thou-
sand  dollars,  the  article  twenty-two  tax  equivalent  is the amount
computed under paragraph (a) of this subdivision by substituting for the
rate therein the rate of 7.45 percent;
  (ii) if the entire net income base is more than two  hundred  thousand
dollars  but  not  over two hundred ninety thousand dollars, the article
twenty-two tax equivalent shall be computed as the sum of  (I)  fourteen

percent of the first fifty thousand dollars in excess of the entire  net
income  base  over  two  hundred  thousand  dollars, and (III) three and

income base over two hundred fifty thousand dollars.
  (C)  For  taxable  years  beginning after June thirtieth, two thousand

twenty-two  tax  equivalent shall be computed as the sum of (I) fourteen
thousand nine hundred forty-five dollars, (II)  7.1425  percent  of  the
first  fifty  thousand  dollars  in excess of the entire net income base
over two hundred thousand dollars,  and  (III)  5.4925  percent  of  the
excess,  if  any,  of  the entire net income base over two hundred fifty
thousand dollars.
  (4)] Termination year. In the case of a termination year, [the tax for
the S short year shall be computed under this paragraph  without  regard
to  the  fixed  dollar  minimum  tax prescribed in paragraph (d) of this
subdivision, and the tax for the C short year shall  be  computed  under
the  opening  paragraph  of this subdivision without regard to the fixed
dollar minimum tax prescribed under such paragraph (d), but in no  event
shall]  the  sum  of  the tax for the S short year and the tax for the C
short year SHALL NOT be less than the fixed  dollar  minimum  tax  under

during  the  period covered by its report by the total aircraft arrivals
and departures  within  and  without  this  state  during  such  period;
provided,  however,  arrivals  and  departures solely for maintenance or
repair, refueling  (where  no  debarkation  or  embarkation  of  traffic
occurs), arrivals and departures of ferry and personnel training flights
or  arrivals  and  departures in the event of emergency situations shall
not be included in computing  such  arrival  and  departure  percentage;
provided, further, the commissioner may also exempt from such percentage

ue  tons  handled  by  the taxpayer at airports within this state during
such period by the total revenue tons handled by it at  airports  within
and without this state during such period; and
  (iii)  the  percentage  determined  by  dividing  sixty percent of the
taxpayer's originating revenue within this state for such period by  its
total originating revenue within and without this state for such period.
  (B)  As  used herein the term "aircraft arrivals and departures" means
the number of landings and takeoffs of the aircraft of the taxpayer  and
the number of air pickups and deliveries by the aircraft of such taxpay-

wire,  cable,  fiber-optic,  laser,  microwave, radio wave, satellite or
similar successor media or any  combination  thereof,  included  in  the
numerator of the apportionment fraction is determined by multiplying the
total  of  such  receipts  by  a fraction, the numerator of which is the

Receipts  from  the  transportation or transmission of gas through pipes
are included in the numerator of the apportionment fraction as  follows.
The  amount  of  receipts from the transportation or transmission of gas

determined  by  multiplying the total amount of such receipts by a frac-
tion, the numerator of which  is  the  taxpayer's  transportation  units
within  the  state and the denominator of which is the taxpayer's trans-
portation units within and without the state. A transportation  unit  is
the transportation of one cubic foot of gas over a distance of one mile.

FOR IN THIS SUBDIVISION WHICH REPRESENTS THE RATIO WHICH THE  MONTHS  OF
QUALIFIED  USE  BEAR  TO THE MONTHS OF USEFUL LIFE. IF PROPERTY ON WHICH
CREDIT HAS BEEN TAKEN IS DISPOSED OF OR CEASES TO BE  IN  QUALIFIED  USE
PRIOR  TO  THE END OF ITS USEFUL LIFE, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CREDIT
TAKEN AND THE CREDIT ALLOWED FOR ACTUAL USE MUST BE ADDED  BACK  IN  THE

OR CEASES TO BE IN QUALIFIED USE AFTER IT HAS BEEN IN QUALIFIED USE  FOR
MORE  THAN  TWELVE  CONSECUTIVE  YEARS, IT SHALL NOT BE NECESSARY TO ADD
BACK THE CREDIT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SUBPARAGRAPH. THE AMOUNT  OF  CREDIT
ALLOWED  FOR  ACTUAL USE SHALL BE DETERMINED BY MULTIPLYING THE ORIGINAL

CREDIT IS TO BE TAKEN, THE AMOUNT OF THE CREDIT SHALL BE THAT PORTION OF
THE CREDIT PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SUBDIVISION WHICH REPRESENTS  THE  RATIO
WHICH  THE  MONTHS OF QUALIFIED USE BEAR TO SIXTY.  IF PROPERTY ON WHICH

OF  OR CEASES TO BE IN QUALIFIED USE PRIOR TO THE END OF THE PERIOD OVER
WHICH THE TAXPAYER CHOOSES TO DEDUCT THE  PROPERTY  UNDER  THE  INTERNAL
REVENUE  CODE,  THE  DIFFERENCE  BETWEEN THE CREDIT TAKEN AND THE CREDIT
ALLOWED FOR ACTUAL USE MUST BE ADDED BACK IN THE  YEAR  OF  DISPOSITION.

CREDIT  WHICH  WOULD  HAVE RESULTED FROM REDUCING, BY THE AMOUNT OF SUCH
NET INCREASE, THE COST OR OTHER BASIS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WITH RESPECT TO
SUCH PROPERTY MUST BE ADDED BACK IN SUCH TAXABLE  YEAR.  THE  AMOUNT  OF
NONQUALIFIED  NONRECOURSE FINANCING SHALL NOT BE TREATED AS INCREASED BY
REASON OF A TRANSFER OF (OR AGREEMENT TO TRANSFER) ANY  EVIDENCE  OF  AN
INDEBTEDNESS IF SUCH TRANSFER OCCURS (OR SUCH AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO)

WISE DUE BY THE TRANSFEROR ON ANY RETURN (INCLUDING AN AMENDED  RETURN),
AND  SHALL  NOT  BE  SO  DEDUCTED AS PART OF ANY AUDIT ADJUSTMENT OR ANY

DENDS  SHALL  BE  ELIMINATED,  AND ALL OTHER INTERCORPORATE TRANSACTIONS
SHALL BE DEFERRED IN A MANNER SIMILAR  TO  THE  UNITED  STATES  TREASURY
REGULATIONS  RELATING TO INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS UNDER SECTION FIFTEEN
HUNDRED TWO OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.
  (II) IN COMPUTING COMBINED CAPITAL, ALL INTERCORPORATE  STOCKHOLDINGS,

INDEBTEDNESS, SHALL BE ELIMINATED.
  (C) QUALIFICATION FOR  CREDITS,  INCLUDING  ANY  LIMITATIONS  THEREON,
SHALL  BE  DETERMINED SEPARATELY FOR EACH OF THE MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED
GROUP, AND SHALL NOT BE DETERMINED ON A COMBINED GROUP BASIS, EXCEPT  AS
OTHERWISE  PROVIDED.  HOWEVER,  THE CREDITS SHALL BE APPLIED AGAINST THE
COMBINED TAX OF THE GROUP. TO THE EXTENT THAT A PROVISION OF SECTION TWO
HUNDRED TEN-B OF THIS ARTICLE LIMITS A CREDIT TO THE FIXED DOLLAR  MINI-
MUM AMOUNT PRESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH (D) OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION TWO

THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM AMOUNT THAT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO  THE  DESIGNATED
AGENT OF THE COMBINED GROUP.
  (D)(I)  A  NET  OPERATING  LOSS  DEDUCTION IS ALLOWED IN COMPUTING THE
COMBINED BUSINESS INCOME BASE. SUCH DEDUCTION MAY REDUCE THE TAX ON  THE
COMBINED  BUSINESS  INCOME BASE TO THE HIGHER OF THE TAX ON THE COMBINED
CAPITAL BASE OR THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM. A COMBINED NET OPERATING  LOSS
DEDUCTION IS EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS OR LOSS-
ES  FROM ONE OR MORE TAXABLE YEARS THAT ARE CARRIED FORWARD TO A PARTIC-
ULAR INCOME YEAR. A COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS IS THE COMBINED BUSINESS
LOSS INCURRED IN A PARTICULAR TAXABLE YEAR MULTIPLIED  BY  THE  COMBINED
APPORTIONMENT FACTOR FOR THAT YEAR DETERMINED AS PROVIDED IN SUBDIVISION
FIVE OF THIS SECTION.
  (II)  THE COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION AND COMBINED NET OPER-
ATING LOSS ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN  CLAUSES  ONE

EITHER  IN THE YEAR THE NET OPERATING LOSS IS INCURRED OR IN THE YEAR IN
WHICH A DEDUCTION IS CLAIMED ON ACCOUNT OF THE LOSS,  THE  COMBINED  NET
OPERATING  LOSS  DEDUCTION  IS  DETERMINED AS IF THE COMBINED GROUP IS A
SINGLE CORPORATION AND IS SUBJECT TO THE  SAME  LIMITATIONS  THAT  WOULD
APPLY  FOR  FEDERAL  INCOME TAX PURPOSES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
AND THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS AS IF SUCH CORPORATION HAD FILED FOR
SUCH TAXABLE YEAR A CONSOLIDATED FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN WITH THE SAME
CORPORATIONS INCLUDED IN THE COMBINED REPORT. IF A CORPORATION  FILES  A
COMBINED  REPORT,  REGARDLESS  OF  WHETHER IT FILED A SEPARATE RETURN OR
CONSOLIDATED RETURN FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES, THE  NET  OPERATING
LOSS  AND  NET  OPERATING  LOSS DEDUCTION FOR THE COMBINED GROUP MUST BE
COMPUTED AS IF THE CORPORATION HAD FILED A CONSOLIDATED RETURN  FOR  THE
SAME CORPORATIONS FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES.
  (IV) IN GENERAL, ANY NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYOVER FROM A YEAR IN WHICH
A COMBINED REPORT WAS FILED SHALL BE BASED ON THE COMBINED NET OPERATING

S. 6359--A                         108                        A. 8559--A

LOSS OF THE GROUP OF CORPORATIONS FILING SUCH REPORT. THE PORTION OF THE
COMBINED LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY MEMBER OF THE GROUP THAT FILES A SEPA-
RATE  REPORT FOR A SUCCEEDING TAXABLE YEAR WILL BE AN AMOUNT BEARING THE
SAME  RELATION  TO  THE  COMBINED LOSS AS THE NET OPERATING LOSS OF SUCH
CORPORATION BEARS TO THE TOTAL NET OPERATING LOSS OF ALL MEMBERS OF  THE
GROUP  HAVING SUCH LOSSES TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
IN COMPUTING THE COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS.
  (E) ANY ELECTION MADE PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (B)  OF  SUBDIVISION  SIX,
AND  PARAGRAPHS  (B) AND (C) OF SUBDIVISION SIX-A OF SECTION TWO HUNDRED
EIGHT OF THIS ARTICLE SHALL APPLY TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP.
  (F)(I) IN THE CASE OF A CAPTIVE REIT OR  CAPTIVE  RIC  REQUIRED  UNDER
THIS  SECTION  TO  BE  INCLUDED  IN A COMBINED REPORT, ENTIRE NET INCOME
SHALL BE COMPUTED AS REQUIRED UNDER SUBDIVISION FIVE (IN THE CASE  OF  A
CAPTIVE  REIT)  OR  SUBDIVISION  SEVEN (IN THE CASE OF A CAPTIVE RIC) OF
SECTION TWO HUNDRED NINE OF THIS ARTICLE. HOWEVER, THE  DEDUCTION  UNDER
THE  INTERNAL  REVENUE  CODE  FOR  DIVIDENDS PAID BY THE CAPTIVE REIT OR
CAPTIVE RIC TO ANY MEMBER OF THE  AFFILIATED  GROUP  THAT  INCLUDES  THE
CORPORATION  THAT  DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OWNS OVER FIFTY PERCENT OF THE
VOTING STOCK OF THE CAPTIVE REIT OR CAPTIVE RIC SHALL  NOT  BE  ALLOWED.
FOR  PURPOSES  OF  THIS  SUBPARAGRAPH, THE TERM "AFFILIATED GROUP" MEANS
"AFFILIATED GROUP" AS DEFINED IN SECTION FIFTEEN  HUNDRED  FOUR  OF  THE
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO THE EXCEPTIONS PROVIDED FOR

INCOME  SHALL BE COMPUTED AS REQUIRED BY SUBDIVISION NINE OF SECTION TWO
HUNDRED EIGHT OF THIS ARTICLE.

TIONMENT  FACTOR  FOR  A  COMBINED REPORT, THE RECEIPTS, NET INCOME, NET
GAINS AND OTHER ITEMS OF ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP,  WHETHER  OR
NOT  THEY  ARE  A  TAXPAYER,  ARE  INCLUDED AND INTERCORPORATE RECEIPTS,
INCOME AND GAINS ARE ELIMINATED. RECEIPTS, NET  INCOME,  NET  GAINS  AND
OTHER ITEMS ARE SOURCED AS PROVIDED IN SECTION TWO HUNDRED TEN-A OF THIS
ARTICLE.
  (B)  AN  ELECTION  MADE  TO APPORTION INCOME AND GAINS FROM QUALIFYING
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS PURSUANT TO SUBPARAGRAPH ONE OF PARAGRAPH  (A)  OF
SUBDIVISION  FIVE  OF  SECTION  TWO  HUNDRED TEN-A OF THIS ARTICLE SHALL

  2-a. The [tax commission] COMMISSIONER may prescribe  regulations  and
instructions  requiring  returns  of information to be made and filed in
conjunction with the reports required to be filed pursuant  to  [section
two  hundred  eleven]  THIS ARTICLE, relating to payments made to share-
holders owning, directly or indirectly, individually or  in  the  aggre-
gate, more than fifty percent of the issued capital stock of the taxpay-
er,  where  such  payments  are  treated  as payments of interest in the
computation of entire net income [or minimum taxable income] reported on
such reports.
  3. If the amount of taxable income  [or  alternative  minimum  taxable
income]  for  any year of any taxpayer (including any taxpayer which has
elected to be taxed under subchapter s of chapter one  of  the  internal
revenue  code),  as returned to the United States treasury department is
changed or corrected by the commissioner of internal  revenue  or  other
officer  of  the  United States or other competent authority, or where a
renegotiation of a  contract  or  subcontract  with  the  United  States
results  in  a  change in taxable income [or alternative minimum taxable
income], such taxpayer shall report such changed  or  corrected  taxable
income  [or  alternative minimum taxable income], or the results of such
renegotiation, within ninety days (or one hundred twenty  days,  in  the
case  of a taxpayer making a combined report under this article for such
year) after the final determination of  such  change  or  correction  or
renegotiation, or as required by the commissioner, and shall concede the
accuracy  of  such  determination  or state wherein it is erroneous. The
allowance of a tentative carryback adjustment based upon a net operating
loss carryback or net capital loss carryback pursuant to section  sixty-
four  hundred  eleven of the internal revenue code, as amended, shall be
treated as a final determination for purposes of this  subdivision.  Any
taxpayer  filing  an amended return with such department shall also file
within ninety days (OR ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS, IN THE CASE OF A TAXPAY-
ER MAKING A COMBINED REPORT UNDER THIS ARTICLE FOR SUCH YEAR) thereafter
an amended report with the commissioner.
  4. [(a) Combined reports permitted or required.  Any  taxpayer,  which
owns  or  controls  either  directly or indirectly substantially all the
capital stock of one or more other corporations,  or  substantially  all
the  capital  stock  of  which is owned or controlled either directly or
indirectly by one or more other corporations or by interests  which  own
or  control  either directly or indirectly substantially all the capital
stock of one or more other corporations,  (hereinafter  referred  to  in
this  paragraph as "related corporations"), shall make a combined report
covering any related corporations if there are  substantial  intercorpo-
rate  transactions  among  the  related  corporations, regardless of the
transfer price for such intercorporate transactions. It is not necessary
that there be substantial intercorporate transactions  between  any  one
corporation and every other related corporation. It is necessary, howev-
er,  that  there  be substantial intercorporate transactions between the
taxpayer and a related corporation or  collectively,  a  group  of  such
related corporations. The report shall set forth such information as the
commissioner may require, subject to the provisions of subparagraphs one
through five of this paragraph.

S. 6359--A                         110                        A. 8559--A

  In  determining  whether  there  are substantial intercorporate trans-
actions, the commissioner shall consider and evaluate all activities and
transactions of the taxpayer and its  related  corporations.  Activities
and  transactions  that  will be considered include, but are not limited
to:  (i)  manufacturing,  acquiring  goods  or  property,  or performing
services, for related corporations; (ii)  selling  goods  acquired  from
related  corporations;  (iii)  financing  sales of related corporations;
(iv) performing related customer services using  common  facilities  and
employees for related corporations; (v) incurring expenses that benefit,
directly  or  indirectly,  one  or  more  related corporations, and (vi)
transferring assets,  including  such  assets  as  accounts  receivable,
patents or trademarks from one or more related corporations.
  (1)  Any  corporation  which owns or controls either directly or indi-
rectly substantially all the capital stock of a DISC not exempt from tax
under paragraph (i) of subdivision nine of section two hundred eight  of
this  article  shall be allowed, at the election of such corporation, to
make a report on a combined basis covering such DISC, but the failure of
such corporation to make such election shall not  prohibit  the  commis-
sioner  from  requiring  a combined report covering such corporation and
such DISC.
  (2)(i) No taxpayer may be permitted to make a  report  on  a  combined
basis  covering  any  such other corporations where such taxpayer or any
such other corporation  allocates  in  accordance  with  clause  (A)  of
subparagraph  seven of paragraph (a) of subdivision three of section two
hundred ten of this article (relating to aviation corporations) and such
taxpayer or any such other corporation does not so allocate, unless such
taxpayer or such other corporation is a qualified air freight  forwarder
with  respect  to such other corporation or such taxpayer, respectively,
and all taxpayers included on such combined report elect, by filing such
combined report,  to  have  such  qualified  air  freight  forwarder  so
included.
  (ii)  A  corporation is a qualified air freight forwarder with respect
to another corporation:
  (A) if it owns or controls either directly or indirectly  all  of  the
capital  stock of such other corporation, or if all of its capital stock
is owned or controlled either  directly  or  indirectly  by  such  other
corporation,  or  if  all  of  the capital stock of both corporations is
owned or controlled either directly or indirectly by the same interests,
  (B) if it is principally  engaged  in  the  business  of  air  freight
forwarding, and
  (C)  if  its air freight forwarding business is carried on principally
with the airline or airlines operated by such other corporation.
  (3) No taxpayer may be permitted to make a report on a combined  basis
covering  any  such  other  corporations where such taxpayer or any such
other corporation allocates in accordance  with  subparagraph  eight  of
paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision three of section two hundred ten of this
article (relating  to  railroad  and  trucking  corporations)  and  such
taxpayer or any such other corporation does not so allocate.
  (4)  Except  as  provided  in the first undesignated paragraph of this
paragraph, no combined report covering any corporation shall be required
unless the commissioner  deems  such  a  report  necessary,  because  of
inter-company transactions or some agreement, understanding, arrangement
or transaction referred to in subdivision five of this section, in order
properly to reflect the tax liability under this article.

S. 6359--A                         111                        A. 8559--A

  (5) A corporation organized under the laws of a country other than the
United  States  shall not be required or permitted to make a report on a
combined basis.
  (6)  (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "closest control-
ling stockholder" means the corporation that indirectly owns or controls
over fifty percent of the voting stock of a captive REIT or captive RIC,
is subject to tax under this article, article thirty-two or thirty-three
of this chapter or otherwise required  to  be  included  in  a  combined
return  or report under this article, article thirty-two or thirty-three
of this chapter, and is the fewest tiers of  corporations  away  in  the
ownership  structure  from the captive REIT or captive RIC.  The commis-
sioner is authorized to prescribe by regulation  or  published  guidance
the criteria for determining the closest controlling stockholder.
  (ii)  A  captive  REIT or a captive RIC must be included in a combined
report with the corporation that directly owns or  controls  over  fifty
percent  of  the voting stock of the captive REIT or captive RIC if that
corporation is subject to tax or required to be included in  a  combined
report under this article.
  (iii)  If  over fifty percent of the voting stock of a captive REIT or
captive RIC is not directly owned or controlled by a corporation that is
subject to tax or required to be included in  a  combined  report  under
this article, then the captive REIT or captive RIC must be included in a
combined  return  or  report  with  the  corporation that is the closest
controlling stockholder of the captive REIT or captive RIC. If the clos-
est controlling stockholder of  the  captive  REIT  or  captive  RIC  is
subject to tax or otherwise required to be included in a combined report
under  this  article,  then  the  captive  REIT  or  captive RIC must be
included in a combined report under this article.
  (iv) If the corporation that directly  owns  or  controls  the  voting
stock  of  the  captive REIT or captive RIC is described in subparagraph
two, three or five of this paragraph as a corporation not  permitted  to
make  a  combined  report,  then  the provisions in clause (iii) of this
subparagraph must be applied  to  determine  the  corporation  in  whose
combined  return  or  report  the  captive REIT or captive RIC should be
included. If, under clause (iii) of this subparagraph,  the  corporation
that  is  the  closest  controlling  stockholder  of the captive REIT or
captive RIC is described in subparagraph two,  three  or  five  of  this
paragraph as a corporation not permitted to make a combined return, then
that  corporation  is deemed to not be in the ownership structure of the
captive REIT or captive RIC, and  the  closest  controlling  stockholder
will be determined without regard to that corporation.
  (v)  If  a  captive REIT owns the stock of a qualified REIT subsidiary
(as defined in paragraph two of subsection (i) of section eight  hundred
fifty-six of the internal revenue code), then the qualified REIT subsid-
iary must be included in a combined report with the captive REIT.
  (vi) If a captive REIT or a captive RIC is required under this subpar-
agraph to be included in a combined report with another corporation, and
that  other  corporation  is  also required to be included in a combined
report with another related corporation or corporations under this para-
graph, then the captive REIT or the captive RIC must be included in that
combined report with those corporations.
  (vii) If a captive REIT or  a  captive  RIC  is  not  required  to  be
included in a combined report with another corporation under clause (ii)
or  (iii)  of  this  subparagraph,  or  in  a  combined return under the
provisions of either subparagraph (v) of paragraph two of subsection (f)
of section fourteen hundred sixty-two or paragraph four  of  subdivision

S. 6359--A                         112                        A. 8559--A

(f) of section fifteen hundred fifteen of this chapter, then the captive
REIT  or  captive RIC is subject to the opening provisions of this para-
graph and the provisions of subparagraph four  of  this  paragraph.  The
captive  REIT or captive RIC must be included in a combined report under
this article with another corporation if either the  substantial  inter-
corporate  transactions  requirement  in  the opening provisions of this
paragraph or the inter-company transactions or agreement, understanding,
arrangement or transaction requirement  of  subparagraph  four  of  this
paragraph  is  satisfied and more than fifty percent of the voting stock
of the captive REIT or the captive RIC  and  substantially  all  of  the
capital  stock  of  that  other  corporation  are  owned and controlled,
directly or indirectly, by the same corporation.
  (7) (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "closest  control-
ling stockholder" means the corporation that indirectly owns or controls
over  fifty  percent  of  the voting stock of an overcapitalized captive
insurance company; is subject to tax under this article or article thir-
ty-two of this chapter, or is otherwise required to  be  included  in  a
combined  return  or  report under this article or article thirty-two of
this chapter; and is the fewest tiers of corporations away in the owner-
ship structure from the overcapitalized captive insurance company.   The
commissioner is authorized to prescribe by regulation or published guid-
ance the criteria for determining the closest controlling stockholder.
  (ii)  An overcapitalized captive insurance company must be included in
a combined report with the corporation that directly  owns  or  controls
over  fifty  percent  of the voting stock of the overcapitalized captive
insurance company if that corporation is subject to tax or  required  to
be included in a combined report under this article.
  (iii)  If over fifty percent of the voting stock of an overcapitalized
captive insurance company is not  directly  owned  or  controlled  by  a
corporation  that  is  subject  to  tax  or required to be included in a
combined report under this article,  then  the  overcapitalized  captive
insurance  company  must be included in a combined return or report with
the corporation that is the closest controlling stockholder of the over-
capitalized captive insurance company. If the closest controlling stock-
holder of the overcapitalized captive insurance company  is  subject  to
tax or otherwise required to be included in a combined report under this
article,  then  the  overcapitalized  captive  insurance company must be
included in a combined report under this article.
  (iv) If the corporation that directly  owns  or  controls  the  voting
stock  of  the overcapitalized captive insurance company is described in
subparagraph two, three, or five of this paragraph as a corporation  not
permitted to make a combined report, then the provisions in clause (iii)
of  this  subparagraph  must  be applied to determine the corporation in
whose combined return or report the  overcapitalized  captive  insurance
company should be included. If, under clause (iii) of this subparagraph,
the corporation that is the closest controlling stockholder of the over-
capitalized  captive insurance company is described in subparagraph two,
three or five of this paragraph as a corporation not permitted to make a
combined return, then that corporation is deemed not to be in the owner-
ship structure of the overcapitalized captive insurance company, and the
closest controlling stockholder will be  determined  without  regard  to
that corporation.
  (v)  If an overcapitalized captive insurance company is required under
this subparagraph to be included  in  a  combined  report  with  another
corporation,  and that other corporation is also required to be included
in a combined report with another related  corporation  or  corporations

S. 6359--A                         113                        A. 8559--A

under this paragraph, then the overcapitalized captive insurance company
must be included in that combined report with those corporations.
  (vi)  If  an overcapitalized captive insurance company is not required
to be included in a  combined  report  with  another  corporation  under
clause (ii) or (iii) of this subparagraph, or in a combined return under
the provisions of subparagraph (v) of paragraph two of subsection (f) of
section  fourteen  hundred sixty-two of this chapter, then the overcapi-
talized captive insurance company is subject to the  opening  provisions
of  this paragraph and the provisions of subparagraph four of this para-
graph. The overcapitalized captive insurance company must be included in
a combined report under this article with another corporation if  either
the  substantial  intercorporate transactions requirement in the opening
provisions of this paragraph or the inter-company transactions or agree-
ment, understanding, arrangement or transaction requirement of  subpara-
graph  four  of  this  paragraph  is satisfied, and both more than fifty
percent of the voting stock of  the  overcapitalized  captive  insurance
company  and substantially all of the capital stock of that other corpo-
ration are owned and controlled, directly or  indirectly,  by  the  same
corporation.
  (b) Computation. (1) Tax. (i) In the case of a combined report the tax
shall  be  measured  by the combined entire net income, combined minimum
taxable income, combined pre-nineteen  hundred  ninety  minimum  taxable
income  or  combined  capital,  of  all the corporations included in the
report, including any  captive  REIT,  captive  RIC  or  overcapitalized
captive  insurance company; provided, however, in no event shall the tax
measured by combined capital exceed the limitation provided for in para-
graph (b) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten of this article.
  (ii) In the case of a captive REIT or captive RIC required under  this
subdivision  to be included in a combined report, entire net income must
be computed as required under subdivision five (in the case of a captive
REIT) or subdivision seven (in the case of a captive RIC) of section two
hundred nine of this article. However, the deduction under the  internal
revenue  code  for  dividends paid by the captive REIT or captive RIC to
any member of the affiliated group that includes  the  corporation  that
directly  or  indirectly  owns over fifty percent of the voting stock of
the captive REIT or captive RIC shall not be allowed for  taxable  years
beginning  on  or  after  January  first,  two  thousand eight. The term
"affiliated group"  means  "affiliated  group"  as  defined  in  section
fifteen hundred four of the internal revenue code, but without regard to
the exceptions provided for in subsection (b) of that section.
  (iii)  In  the  case  of  an overcapitalized captive insurance company
required under this subdivision to be included  in  a  combined  report,
entire  net  income  must be computed as required by subdivision nine of
section two hundred eight of this article.
  (2) Tax bases. In computing combined entire net income, combined mini-
mum taxable income or combined pre-nineteen hundred ninety minimum taxa-
ble income intercorporate dividends shall be  eliminated,  in  computing
combined  business  and  investment capital intercorporate stockholdings
and intercorporate bills, notes and accounts receivable and payable  and
other  intercorporate  indebtedness shall be eliminated and in computing
combined subsidiary capital intercorporate stockholdings shall be elimi-
nated, provided, however, that intercorporate dividends from a DISC or a
former DISC not exempt from tax under paragraph (i) of subdivision  nine
of  section two hundred eight of this article which are taxable as busi-
ness income under this article shall not be eliminated.

  (3) Air freight forwarders: allocation. Notwithstanding any  provision
of law to the contrary, where a combined report includes a qualified air
freight  forwarder  and a corporation described in subparagraph seven of
paragraph (a) of subdivision three of section two hundred  ten  of  this
chapter  (relating  to aviation corporations), in computing the combined
business allocation percentage such subparagraph seven shall be  applied
with  respect  to  such  qualified air freight forwarder] FOR PROVISIONS
RELATING TO COMBINED REPORTS, SEE SECTION  TWO  HUNDRED  TEN-C  OF  THIS
ARTICLE.
  5.  In  case it shall appear to the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER that
any agreement, understanding or arrangement exists between the  taxpayer
and  any  other corporation or any person or firm, whereby the activity,
business, income or capital of the taxpayer within the state is  improp-
erly  or  inaccurately  reflected,  the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER is
authorized and empowered, in [its] THE COMMISSIONER'S discretion and  in
such  manner  as [it] THE COMMISSIONER may determine, to adjust items of
income, deductions and capital, and to eliminate assets in computing any
[allocation] APPORTIONMENT percentage  provided  only  that  any  income
directly  traceable  thereto  be  also  excluded from entire net income,
[minimum taxable income or pre-nineteen hundred ninety  minimum  taxable
income,]  so  as  equitably to determine the tax. Where (a) any taxpayer
conducts its activity or business under any  agreement,  arrangement  or
understanding in such manner as either directly or indirectly to benefit
its  members  or  stockholders, or any of them, or any person or persons
directly or indirectly interested  in  such  activity  or  business,  by
entering  into  any transaction at more or less than a fair price which,
but for such agreement, arrangement or understanding,  might  have  been
paid or received therefor, or (b) any taxpayer, a substantial portion of
whose  capital  stock  is owned either directly or indirectly by another
corporation, enters into any transaction with such other corporation  on
such terms as to create an improper loss or net income, the [tax commis-
sion]  COMMISSIONER may include in the entire net income[, minimum taxa-
ble income or pre-nineteen hundred ninety minimum taxable income] of the
taxpayer the fair profits which, but for such agreement, arrangement  or
understanding,  the  taxpayer  might have derived from such transaction.
WHERE ANY TAXPAYER OWNS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, MORE THAN FIFTY PERCENT
OF THE CAPITAL STOCK OF ANOTHER CORPORATION SUBJECT TO TAX UNDER SECTION
FIFTEEN HUNDRED TWO-A OF THIS CHAPTER AND FIFTY PERCENT OR LESS OF WHOSE
GROSS RECEIPTS FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR CONSIST OF PREMIUMS, THE COMMISSION-
ER MAY INCLUDE IN THE ENTIRE NET INCOME OF THE  TAXPAYER,  AS  A  DEEMED
DISTRIBUTION, THE AMOUNT OF THE NET INCOME OF THE OTHER CORPORATION THAT
IS IN EXCESS OF ITS NET PREMIUM INCOME.
  S 19-a. Subdivision 13 of section 211 of the tax law is REPEALED.
  S 20.  Subdivision 11 of section 2 of the tax law, as added by section
1  of  part E-1 of chapter 57 of the laws of 2009, is amended to read as
follows:
  11. The term "[overcapitalized] COMBINABLE captive insurance  company"
means  an  entity  that is treated as an association taxable as a corpo-
ration under the internal revenue code (a) more than  fifty  percent  of
the  voting stock of which is owned or controlled, directly or indirect-
ly, by a single entity that is treated as an association  taxable  as  a
corporation  under the internal revenue code and not exempt from federal
income tax; (b) that is licensed as a captive  insurance  company  under
the  laws  of this state or another jurisdiction; AND (c) whose business
includes providing, directly and indirectly,  insurance  or  reinsurance
covering  the  risks  of  its  parent  and/or  members of its affiliated

S. 6359--A                         115                        A. 8559--A

group[; and (d) fifty percent or less of whose gross  receipts  for  the
taxable  year  consist of premiums].   For purposes of this subdivision,
"affiliated group" has the same meaning as that term is given in section
1504  of  the internal revenue code, except that the term "common parent
corporation" in that section is deemed to mean any person, as defined in
section 7701 of the internal revenue code[;] AND references to "at least
eighty percent" in section 1504 of the internal revenue code are  to  be
read  as  "fifty  percent or more;" section 1504 of the internal revenue
code is to be read without regard to  the  exclusions  provided  for  in
subsection (b) of that section[; "premiums" has the same meaning as that
term  is  given  in  paragraph one of subdivision (c) of section fifteen
hundred ten of this chapter, except that it includes  consideration  for
annuity  contracts and excludes any part of the consideration for insur-
ance, reinsurance or annuity contracts that do  not  provide  bona  fide
insurance,   reinsurance  or  annuity  benefits;  and  "gross  receipts"
includes the amounts included in gross receipts for purposes of  section
501(c) (15) of the internal revenue code, except that those amounts also
include all premiums as defined in this subdivision].
  S  21.  Subdivision  (a) of section 1500 of the tax law, as separately
amended by section 1 of part B-1 and section 8 of part E-1 of chapter 57
of the laws of 2009, is amended to read as follows:
  (a) The term "insurance corporation" includes a  corporation,  associ-
ation,  joint stock company or association, person, society, aggregation
or partnership, by whatever name known,  doing  an  insurance  business,
and, notwithstanding the provisions of section fifteen hundred twelve of
this  article,  shall  include  (1) a risk retention group as defined in
subsection (n) of section five thousand nine hundred two of  the  insur-
ance  law,  (2)  the state insurance fund and (3) a corporation, associ-
ation, joint stock company or association, person, society,  aggregation
or  partnership  doing an insurance business as a member of the New York
insurance exchange described in section six thousand two hundred one  of
the  insurance  law.  The  definition  of  the  "state  insurance  fund"
contained in this subdivision shall be limited  in  its  effect  to  the
provisions  of  this  article and the related provisions of this chapter
and shall have no force and effect  other  than  with  respect  to  such
provisions.  The  term  "insurance  corporation"  shall  also  include a
captive insurance company doing a captive insurance business, as defined
in subsections (c) and (b), respectively, of section seven thousand  two
of  the  insurance law; provided, however, "insurance corporation" shall
not include the metropolitan transportation authority, or a public bene-
fit corporation or not-for-profit corporation formed by a  city  with  a
population  of one million or more pursuant to subsection (a) of section
seven thousand five of the insurance law, each  of  which  is  expressly
exempt  from the payment of fees, taxes or assessments, whether state or
local; and provided further "insurance corporation" does not include any
[overcapitalized] COMBINABLE captive insurance company. The term "insur-
ance corporation" shall also include an unauthorized  insurer  operating
from  an  office  within  the  state,  pursuant  to  paragraph  five  of
subsection (b) of section one thousand one hundred  one  and  subsection
(i)  of section two thousand one hundred seventeen of the insurance law.
The term "insurance corporation"  also  includes  a  health  maintenance
organization required to obtain a certificate of authority under article
forty-four of the public health law.
  S  22. Subdivision (a) of section 1502-b of the tax law, as amended by
section 9 of part E-1 of chapter 57 of the laws of 2009 and  as  further

S. 6359--A                         116                        A. 8559--A

amended  by  section 104 of part A of chapter 62 of the laws of 2011, is
amended to read as follows:
  (a) In lieu of the taxes and tax surcharge imposed by sections fifteen
hundred  one, fifteen hundred two-a, fifteen hundred five-a, and fifteen
hundred ten of this article, every captive insurance company licensed by
the superintendent of financial services pursuant to the  provisions  of
article seventy of the insurance law, other than the metropolitan trans-
portation  authority  and a public benefit corporation or not-for-profit
corporation formed by a city with a population of one  million  or  more
pursuant  to subsection (a) of section seven thousand five of the insur-
ance law, each of which is expressly exempt from the  payment  of  fees,
taxes or assessments whether state or local, and other than [an overcap-
italized] COMBINABLE captive insurance company, shall, for the privilege
of exercising its corporate franchise, pay a tax on (1) all gross direct
premiums,  less  return  premiums  thereon,  written on risks located or
resident in this state and (2) all assumed  reinsurance  premiums,  less
return  premiums  thereon,  written on risks located or resident in this
state. The rate of the tax imposed on gross  direct  premiums  shall  be
four-tenths  of  one  percent  on  all  or  any part of the first twenty
million dollars of premiums, three-tenths of one percent on all  or  any
part of the second twenty million dollars of premiums, two-tenths of one
percent on all or any part of the third twenty million dollars of premi-

  (2) In determining New York source income of a nonresident shareholder
of an S corporation where the election provided for in subsection (a) of
section  six  hundred sixty of this article is in effect, there shall be
included only the portion derived from or connected with New York sourc-
es  of  such  shareholder's  pro  rata  share  of items of S corporation
income, loss and deduction entering  into  his  federal  adjusted  gross
income,  increased  by  reductions for taxes described in paragraphs two
and three of subsection (f) of section thirteen hundred sixty-six of the
internal revenue code, as such portion shall be determined  under  regu-
lations  of  the commissioner consistent with the applicable methods and
rules for allocation under article nine-A [or thirty-two] of this  chap-
ter,  regardless of whether or not such item or reduction is included in
entire net income under article nine-A [or thirty-two] for the tax year.
If a nonresident is a shareholder in an S corporation where the election
provided for in subsection (a) of section  six  hundred  sixty  of  this
article  is in effect, and the S corporation has distributed an install-
ment obligation under section 453(h)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code,
then any gain recognized on the receipt of payments from the installment
obligation for federal income tax purposes will be treated as  New  York
source income allocated in a manner consistent with the applicable meth-
ods  and  rules  for  allocation under article nine-A [or thirty-two] of
this chapter in the year that the assets were sold. In addition, if  the
shareholders  of  the  S corporation have made an election under section
338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code, then any gain recognized on the
deemed asset sale for federal income tax purposes will be treated as New
York source income allocated in a manner consistent with the  applicable
methods and rules for allocation under article nine-A [or thirty-two] of
this  chapter  in  the  year  that  the  shareholder  made  the  section
338(h)(10) election. For purposes of a section 338(h)(10) election, when
a nonresident shareholder exchanges his or her S  corporation  stock  as
part  of  the  deemed  liquidation, any gain or loss recognized shall be
treated as the disposition of an intangible asset and will not  increase
or  offset  any gain recognized on the deemed assets sale as a result of
the section 338(h)(10) election.
  S 72. Subparagraph (A) of paragraph 4 of subsection (c) of section 658
of the tax law, as amended by section 1 of part DD of chapter 686 of the
laws of 2003, is amended to read as follows:
  (A) General. Every entity which is a partnership, other than a public-
ly traded partnership as defined in section 7704 of the federal Internal
Revenue Code, subchapter K limited liability company or an S corporation
for which the election provided for in subsection  (a)  of  section  six
hundred  sixty  of this [article] PART is in effect, which has partners,
members or shareholders who  are  nonresident  individuals,  as  defined
under  subsection  (b) of section six hundred five of this article, or C
corporations, and which has any income derived from  New  York  sources,
determined  in  accordance  with  the  applicable  rules  of section six
hundred thirty-one of this article as in the case of a nonresident indi-
vidual, shall pay estimated tax on such income on behalf of  such  part-
ners,  members or shareholders in the manner and at the times prescribed
by subsection (c) of section six hundred eighty-five  of  this  article.
For  purposes  of  this paragraph, the term "estimated tax" shall mean a
partner's, member's or shareholder's  distributive  share  or  pro  rata
share  of the entity income derived from New York sources, multiplied by
the highest rate of tax prescribed by section six hundred  one  of  this
article  for  the taxable year of any partner, member or shareholder who
is an individual taxpayer,  or  paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision  one  of

S. 6359--A                         150                        A. 8559--A

partner, member or shareholder which is a C corporation, whether or  not
such  C corporation is subject to tax under article nine, nine-A[, thir-
ty-two,]  or  thirty-three of this chapter, and reduced by the distribu-
tive share or pro rata share of any credits determined under section one
hundred eighty-seven, one  hundred  eighty-seven-a,  six  hundred  six[,
fourteen  hundred  fifty-six] or fifteen hundred eleven of this chapter,
whichever is applicable, derived from the entity.

subsection (a) as amended by section 50 and subsection (h) as amended by
section  66 of part A of chapter 389 of the laws of 1997, are amended to
read as follows:
  (a) Election. If a corporation  is  an  eligible  S  corporation,  the
shareholders  of  the  corporation  may elect in the manner set forth in
subsection (b) of this section to  take  into  account,  to  the  extent
provided for in this article (or in article thirteen of this chapter, in
the case of a shareholder which is a taxpayer under such article), the S
corporation  items  of  income, loss, deduction and reductions for taxes
described in paragraphs two and three of subsection (f) of section thir-
teen hundred sixty-six of the internal revenue code which are taken into
account for federal  income  tax  purposes  for  the  taxable  year.  No
election  under this subsection shall be effective unless all sharehold-
ers of the corporation have so elected. An eligible S corporation is (i)
an S corporation which is subject to tax under article nine-A [or  thir-
ty-two] of this chapter, OR (ii) an S corporation which is the parent of
a qualified subchapter S subsidiary subject to tax under article nine-A,
where  the  shareholders of such parent corporation are entitled to make

time  shall  publish all rulings of general public interest with respect
to any application of the provisions  of  the  preceding  sentence.  The

thousand  two]  after  the  deduction of any credits otherwise allowable
under this article[; provided, however, that the tax  surcharge  imposed
by  this  section  shall  not be imposed upon any taxpayer for more than
four hundred thirty-two months].  Provided  however,  that  for  taxable
years  commencing  on or after July first, two thousand, and in the case
of taxpayers subject to tax under section fifteen hundred two-a of  this
article,  for taxable years of such taxpayers beginning on or after July
first, two thousand and before January first, two thousand  three,  such

  Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 236  of  the  racing,  pari-mutuel
wagering and breeding law, as amended by chapter 18 of the laws of 2008,
is amended to read as follows:
  1. Every corporation authorized under this chapter to conduct pari-mu-
tuel  betting at a race meeting on races run thereat, except as provided
in section two hundred thirty-eight of this article with respect to  the
franchised corporation, shall distribute all sums deposited in any pari-
mutuel  pool  to  the holders of winning tickets therein, providing such
tickets be presented for payment before April first of the year  follow-
ing  the  year  of  their purchase, less an amount which shall be estab-
lished and retained by such racing corporation of  between  fourteen  to
twenty  per centum of the total deposits in pools resulting from regular
on-track bets and less sixteen to twenty-two per  centum  of  the  total
deposits  in pools resulting from multiple on-track bets and less twenty
to thirty per centum of the total deposits in pools resulting from exot-
ic on-track bets and less twenty to thirty-six per centum of  the  total
pools  resulting  from  super exotic on-track bets, plus the breaks. The
retention rate to be established is subject to the prior approval of the
[racing and wagering board] COMMISSION.  Such rate may  not  be  changed
more  than once per calendar quarter to be effective on the first day of
the calendar quarter. "Exotic bets" and "multiple bets" shall  have  the
meanings  set forth in section five hundred nineteen of this chapter and
breaks are hereby defined as the odd cents over any multiple of ten,  or
for  exotic  bets  over any multiple of fifty, or for super exotic bets,
over any multiple of one hundred, calculated on the basis of one dollar,
otherwise payable to a patron provided, however,  that  effective  after
October  fifteenth,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-four  breaks  are  hereby
defined as the odd cents over any multiple of five for  payoffs  greater
than one dollar five cents but less than five dollars, over any multiple
of  ten  for payoffs greater than five dollars but less than twenty-five
dollars, over any multiple of twenty-five for payoffs greater than twen-
ty-five dollars but less than two hundred fifty  dollars,  or  over  any
multiple  of  fifty  for  payoffs over two hundred fifty dollars. "Super
exotic bets" shall have the meaning set forth in section  three  hundred
one  of  this  chapter. Of the amount so retained there shall be paid by
such corporation to the department of taxation and finance as a  reason-
able  tax  by  the  state  for  the  privilege of conducting pari-mutuel
betting on the races run at the race meeting held by  such  corporation,
which tax is hereby levied, the following percentages of the total pool,
plus fifty-five per centum of the breaks; the applicable rates for regu-
lar and multiple bets shall be one and one-half per centum; the applica-

S. 6359--A                         166                        A. 8559--A

ble  rates for exotic bets shall be six and three-quarter per centum and
the applicable rate for super exotic bets shall be seven and three-quar-
ter per centum. Effective on and after September first, nineteen hundred
ninety-four,  the  applicable  tax  rate  shall be one per centum of all
wagers, provided that,  an  amount  equal  to  one-half  the  difference
between the taxation rate for on-track regular, multiple and exotic bets
as of December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-three and the rates
on such on-track wagers as herein provided shall be used exclusively for
purses. Provided, however, that for any twelve-month period beginning on
April  first in nineteen hundred ninety and any year thereafter, each of
the applicable rates set forth above shall be increased  by  one-quarter
of  one  per  centum on all on-track bets of any such racing corporation
that did not expend an amount equal to at  least  one-half  of  one  per
centum  of  its  on-track bets during the immediately preceding calendar
year for enhancements consisting of capital improvements as  defined  by
section  two  hundred thirty-seven of this article, repairs to its phys-
ical plant, structures, and equipment used in  its  racing  or  wagering
operations as certified by the [state racing and wagering board] COMMIS-
SION  to  the  commissioner of taxation and finance no later than eighty
days after the close of such calendar year, and five special  events  at
each  track  in each calendar year, not otherwise conducted in the ordi-
nary course of business, the purpose of which  shall  be  to  encourage,
attract  and  promote  track  attendance and encourage new and continued
patronage, which events shall be approved by the  [racing  and  wagering
board] COMMISSION for purposes of this subdivision. In the determination
of  the  amounts  expended for such enhancements, the [board] COMMISSION
may consider the immediately preceding twelve month calendar  period  or
the average of the two immediately preceding twelve month calendar peri-
ods.  Provided  further,  however,  that of the portion of the increased
amounts retained by such corporation above  those  amounts  retained  in
nineteen  hundred  eighty-four,  an  amount  of  such  increase shall be
distributed to purses in the same proportion as commissions  and  purses
were distributed during nineteen hundred eighty-four as certified by the
[board]  COMMISSION. Such corporation in the second zone shall receive a
credit against the daily tax imposed by this subdivision  in  an  amount
equal  to  one per centum of total daily pools resulting from the simul-
cast of such corporation's races  to  licensed  facilities  operated  by
regional  off-track  betting corporations in accordance with section one
thousand eight of this chapter, provided however, that sixty per  centum
of the amount of such credit shall be used exclusively to increase purs-
es  for  overnight  races  conducted  by such corporation; and, provided
further, that in no event shall such total daily credit exceed  one  per
centum  of  the total daily pool of such corporation. Provided, however,
that on and after September first,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-four  such
credit  shall be four-tenths percent of total daily pools resulting from
such simulcasting and that in no event shall  such  total  daily  credit
equal four-tenths percent of the total daily pool of such corporation.
  Such corporation shall pay to the New York state thoroughbred breeding
and  development  fund  one-half  of  one  per centum of the total daily
on-track pari-mutuel pools from regular, multiple and exotic  bets,  and
three  per  centum  of  super exotic bets. The corporation shall receive
credit as a reduction of the tax by  the  state  for  the  privilege  of
conducting pari-mutuel betting for the amounts, except amounts paid from
super  exotic  betting  pools,  paid  to the New York state thoroughbred
breeding and development fund  after  January  first,  nineteen  hundred
seventy-eight.

  Such  corporation  shall distribute to purses an amount equal to fifty
per centum of any compensation it receives  from  simulcasting  or  from
wagering conducted outside the United States. Such corporation shall pay
to the [racing and wagering board] COMMISSION as a regulatory fee, which
fee  is hereby levied, [fifty] SIXTY hundredths of one per centum of the
total daily on-track pari-mutuel pools of such corporation.
  S 2. Paragraph (d) of subdivision 1 of  section  238  of  the  racing,
pari-mutuel  wagering  and breeding law, as amended by chapter 18 of the
laws of 2008, is amended to read as follows:
  (d) The pari-mutuel tax rate  authorized  by  paragraph  (a)  of  this
subdivision shall be effective so long as a franchised corporation noti-
fies  the  [racing and wagering board] COMMISSION by August fifteenth of
each year that such pari-mutuel tax rate is effective of its  intent  to
conduct a race meeting at Aqueduct racetrack during the months of Decem-
ber,  January, February, March and April. For purposes of this paragraph
such race meeting shall consist of not less  than  ninety-five  days  of
racing.  Not later than May first of each year that such pari-mutuel tax
rate  is  effective,  the  [racing  and wagering board] COMMISSION shall
determine whether a race meeting at Aqueduct racetrack consisted of  the
number  of days as required by this paragraph. In determining the number
of race days, cancellation of a race day because of an act of God, which
the [racing and wagering board] COMMISSION approves or because of weath-
er conditions that are unsafe or hazardous which the [racing and  wager-
ing  board]  COMMISSION  approves shall not be construed as a failure to
conduct a race day. Additionally, cancellation of a race day because  of
circumstances  beyond  the  control  of  such franchised corporation for
which the [racing and wagering board] COMMISSION  gives  approval  shall
not  be construed as a failure to conduct a race day. If the [racing and
wagering board] COMMISSION determines that the number of days of  racing
as required by this paragraph have not occurred then the pari-mutuel tax
rate in paragraph (a) of this subdivision shall revert to the pari-mutu-
el  tax rates in effect prior to January first, nineteen hundred ninety-
five. Such franchised corporation shall pay to the [racing and  wagering
board]  COMMISSION  as  a  regulatory  fee,  which fee is hereby levied,
[fifty] SIXTY hundredths of one per centum of the total  daily  on-track
pari-mutuel pools of such franchised corporation.
  S  3. Paragraph d of subdivision 1 of section 318 of the racing, pari-
mutuel wagering and breeding law, as amended by section 3 of part  B  of
chapter 59 of the laws of 2005, is amended to read as follows:
  d.  Every  harness  racing association or corporation shall pay to the
[board] COMMISSION as a regulatory fee,  which  fee  is  hereby  levied,
[fifty]  SIXTY  hundredths  of  one  percent of the total daily on-track
pari-mutuel pools of such association or corporation.
  S 4. The opening paragraph of subdivision 1  of  section  527  of  the
racing,  pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, as amended by chapter 18
of the laws of 2008, is amended to read as follows:
  The disposition of the retained commission from pools  resulting  from
regular,  multiple or exotic bets, as the case may be, whether placed on
races run within a region or  outside  a  region,  conducted  by  racing
corporations, harness racing associations or corporations, quarter horse
racing associations or corporations or races run outside the state shall
be governed by the tables in paragraphs a and b of this subdivision. The
rate  denominated  "state  tax" shall represent the rate of a reasonable
tax imposed upon the retained commission for the privilege of conducting
off-track pari-mutuel betting, which tax is hereby levied and  shall  be
payable  in the manner set forth in this section. Each off-track betting

S. 6359--A                         168                        A. 8559--A

corporation shall pay to the [racing and wagering board] COMMISSION as a
regulatory fee, which fee is hereby levied, [fifty] SIXTY hundredths  of
one  percent  of  the total daily pools of such corporation. Each corpo-
ration  shall also pay twenty per centum of the breaks derived from bets
on harness races and fifty per centum of the breaks derived from bets on
all other races to the agriculture and New York State horse breeding and
development fund and to the thoroughbred breeding and development  fund,
the  total  of  such payments to be apportioned fifty per centum to each
such fund. For the purposes of this section, the New York city, Suffolk,
Nassau, and the Catskill regions shall constitute a  single  region  and
any  thoroughbred track located within the Capital District region shall
be deemed to be within such single region. A  "regional  meeting"  shall
refer to either harness or thoroughbred meetings, or both, except that a
franchised  corporation shall not be a regional track for the purpose of
receiving distributions from bets on thoroughbred races conducted  by  a
thoroughbred  track  in  the Catskill region conducting a mixed meeting.
With the exception of a harness racing association or corporation  first
licensed  to  conduct  pari-mutuel  wagering at a track located in Tioga
county after January first, two thousand five, racing corporations first
licensed to conduct pari-mutuel racing  after  January  first,  nineteen
hundred  eighty-six or a harness racing association or corporation first
licensed to conduct pari-mutuel wagering at a track located  in  Genesee
County  after January first, two thousand five, and quarter horse tracks
shall not be "regional tracks"; if there is more than one harness  track
within  a region, such tracks shall evenly divide payments made pursuant
to the tables in paragraphs a and b of  this  subdivision  when  neither
track  is  running.  In  the event a track elects to reduce its retained
percentage from any or all of its pari-mutuel pools, the payments to the
track holding the race and the regional track required by  paragraphs  a
and  b  of  this  subdivision  shall  be  reduced  in proportion to such
reduction. Nothing in this section shall be construed to  authorize  the
conduct  of off-track betting contrary to the provisions of section five
hundred twenty-three of this article.
  S 5. Paragraph a of subdivision 1 of section 904 of the racing,  pari-
mutuel  wagering  and breeding law, as amended by chapter 18 of the laws

corporation authorized pursuant to this section shall pay to the [racing
and wagering board] COMMISSION as a regulatory fee, which fee is  hereby
levied, [fifty] SIXTY hundredths of one percent of the total daily pari-

                                 PART I

  Section 1. Subsection (b) of section 612 of the tax law is amended  by
adding a new paragraph 40 to read as follows:
  (40)  IN  THE  CASE OF A BENEFICIARY OF A NONRESIDENT TRUST OR A TRUST
NOT SUBJECT TO TAX PURSUANT TO SUBPARAGRAPH (D) OF  PARAGRAPH  THREE  OF
SUBSECTION  (B)  OF SECTION SIX HUNDRED FIVE OF THIS ARTICLE (EXCEPT FOR
AN INCOMPLETE GIFT NON-GRANTOR TRUST, AS DEFINED BY PARAGRAPH  FORTY-ONE
OF  THIS  SUBSECTION),  THE  AMOUNT  OF ANY ACCUMULATION DISTRIBUTION AS
DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION (B) OF SECTION SIX  HUNDRED  SIXTY-FIVE  OF  THE
INTERNAL  REVENUE  CODE  FOR  THE TAX YEAR, SUCH AMOUNT TO BE DETERMINED
WITHOUT REGARD TO SUBSECTION (C) OF SECTION SIX  HUNDRED  SIXTY-FIVE  OF
THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, TO THE EXTENT NOT ALREADY INCLUDED IN FEDERAL

BE ADDED UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH, SUCH BENEFICIARY SHALL  DISREGARD  INCOME
EARNED  BY A TRUST IN A TAXABLE YEAR PRIOR TO WHEN THE BENEFICIARY FIRST

SUCH TRUST WOULD BE TAKEN  INTO  ACCOUNT  IN  COMPUTING  THE  TAXPAYER'S
FEDERAL  TAXABLE  INCOME IF SUCH TRUST IN ITS ENTIRETY WERE TREATED AS A
GRANTOR TRUST FOR FEDERAL TAX PURPOSES. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS  PARAGRAPH,
AN "INCOMPLETE GIFT NON-GRANTOR TRUST" MEANS A RESIDENT TRUST THAT MEETS
THE  FOLLOWING  CONDITIONS:  (I) THE TRUST DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A GRANTOR
TRUST UNDER SECTION SIX HUNDRED SEVENTY-ONE THROUGH SIX  HUNDRED  SEVEN-
TY-NINE  OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, AND (2) THE GRANTOR'S TRANSFER OF
ASSETS TO THE TRUST IS TREATED AS AN INCOMPLETE GIFT UNDER SECTION TWEN-

taxable  year which would not have been payable if the trust had in fact
made distributions to its beneficiaries at the times and in the  amounts

THE  AMOUNT  OF  THE  CREDIT  SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PERCENTAGE OF THE TAX
OTHERWISE DUE UNDER THIS ARTICLE DETERMINED BY DIVIDING THE  PORTION  OF
THE  INCOME THAT IS BOTH TAXABLE TO THE TRUST IN SUCH OTHER JURISDICTION
AND TAXABLE TO THE BENEFICIARY UNDER THIS ARTICLE BY THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF
THE BENEFICIARY'S NEW YORK INCOME.
  (b) Limitation. The [credit] CREDITS  under  this  section  shall  not

(f) to read as follows:
   (F) (1) EVERY NONRESIDENT TRUST OR A TRUST DESCRIBED BY  SUBPARAGRAPH

THIS ARTICLE SHALL MAKE A RETURN FOR ANY TAXABLE YEAR IN WHICH IT  MAKES
AN  ACCUMULATION  DISTRIBUTION  WITHIN THE MEANING OF SUBDIVISION (B) OF
SECTION SIX HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE TO A BENEFI-
CIARY WHO IS A RESIDENT, WHICH  RETURN  SHALL  INCLUDE  (I)  INFORMATION
IDENTIFYING SUCH RESIDENT, (II) THE AMOUNT OF SUCH ACCUMULATION DISTRIB-
UTION, AND (III) SUCH OTHER INFORMATION AS THE COMMISSIONER MAY REQUIRE.
  (2)  EVERY  RESIDENT  TRUST  THAT DOES NOT FILE THE RETURN REQUIRED BY

THE COMMISSIONER MAY REQUIRE.
  (3) THE RETURNS REQUIRED BY THIS  SUBSECTION  SHALL  BE  FILED  ON  OR

hundred fifty-eight or under section  six  hundred  fifty-nine  OF  THIS
ARTICLE  for any taxable year fails to file such return or report at the
time prescribed therefor (determined with regard  to  any  extension  of
time  for  filing),  or files a return or report which fails to show the
information required under such subsection (c) or  section  six  hundred
fifty-nine  OF THIS ARTICLE, unless it is shown that such failure is due
to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect,  there  shall,  upon
notice  and demand by the commissioner and in the same manner as tax, be
paid by the partnership or S corporation a penalty for  each  month  (or
fraction thereof) during which such failure continues (but not to exceed
five months). The amount of such penalty for any month is the product of
fifty  dollars,  multiplied by the number of partners in the partnership
or shareholders in the S corporation during any part of the taxable year

who were subject to tax under this article during any part of such taxa-
ble year, EXCEPT THAT, IN THE CASE OF A  TRUST,  THE  PENALTY  SHALL  BE

DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION (B) OF SECTION SIX  HUNDRED  SIXTY-FIVE  OF  THE
INTERNAL  REVENUE  CODE  FOR  THE TAX YEAR, SUCH AMOUNT TO BE DETERMINED
WITHOUT REGARD TO SUBSECTION (C) OF SECTION SIX  HUNDRED  SIXTY-FIVE  OF
THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, TO THE EXTENT NOT ALREADY INCLUDED IN FEDERAL
GROSS  INCOME  FOR THE TAX YEAR, EXCEPT THAT, IN COMPUTING THE AMOUNT TO
BE ADDED UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH, SUCH BENEFICIARY SHALL  DISREGARD  INCOME
EARNED  BY A TRUST IN A TAXABLE YEAR PRIOR TO WHEN THE BENEFICIARY FIRST
BECAME A RESIDENT OF THE STATE OR IN ANY TAXABLE  YEAR  STARTING  BEFORE

  4. Tracks. The commissioner, in consultation with the commissioner  of
health, shall propose within twelve months and thereafter timely promul-
gate regulations which create a multi-track approach for the remediation
of  contamination,  and,  commencing on the effective date of such regu-
lations, utilize  such  multi-track  approach.  Such  regulations  shall
provide  that  groundwater  use  in  Tracks  2,  3  or  4  can be either
restricted or unrestricted. The tracks shall be as follows:
  Track 1: The remedial program shall achieve a cleanup level that  will
allow  the site to be used for any purpose without restriction and with-
out reliance on the long-term employment of institutional or engineering
controls, and shall achieve contaminant-specific remedial action  objec-
tives  for  soil which conform with those contained in the generic table
of contaminant-specific remedial action objectives for unrestricted  use
developed pursuant to subdivision six of this section.  Provided, howev-
er, that volunteers whose proposed remedial program [for the remediation
of  groundwater] (1)(I) may require the long-term employment of institu-
tional or engineering controls FOR THE REMEDIATION OF GROUNDWATER  after
the bulk reduction of groundwater contamination to asymptotic levels has
been  achieved  OR  (II)  MAY  REQUIRE  AN  INSTITUTIONAL OR ENGINEERING
CONTROL FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS SOLELY TO ADDRESS SOIL VAPOR  INTRUSION
but  (2)  whose  program  would  otherwise conform with the requirements
necessary to qualify for Track 1, shall qualify for Track 1.
  Track 2: The remedial program may include restrictions on the  use  of
the  site  or reliance on the long-term employment of engineering and/or
institutional controls, but shall achieve contaminant-specific  remedial
action  objectives for soil which conform with those contained in one of
the generic tables developed pursuant to subdivision six of this section
without the use of institutional or engineering controls to  reach  such
objectives.
  Track 3: The remedial program shall achieve contaminant-specific reme-
dial  action objectives for soil which conform with the criteria used to
develop the generic tables for such  objectives  developed  pursuant  to
subdivision six of this section but may use site specific data to deter-
mine such objectives.
  Track  4: The remedial program shall achieve a cleanup level that will
be protective for the site's current, intended or reasonably anticipated
residential, commercial, or industrial use with  restrictions  and  with
reliance  on  the  long-term  employment of institutional or engineering

S. 6359--A                         200                        A. 8559--A

controls  to  achieve  such  level.  The  regulations  shall  include  a
provision  requiring  that  a cleanup level which poses a risk in excee-
dance of an excess cancer risk of one in one  million  for  carcinogenic
end  points  and  a  hazard index of one for non-cancer end points for a
specific contaminant at a specific site may be approved by  the  depart-
ment  without requiring the use of institutional or engineering controls
to eliminate exposure only upon a site specific finding by  the  commis-
sioner, in consultation with the commissioner of health, that such level
shall be protective of public health and environment. Such finding shall
be  included  in  the  draft  remedial  work plan for the site and fully
described in the notice and fact sheet provided for such work plan.

shall include a fact sheet  describing  such  plan  and  provide  for  a
forty-five  day  public  comment  period.  The commissioner shall hold a
public meeting if requested by the affected community  and  the  commis-
sioner  has  found that the site constitutes a significant threat to the
public health or the environment. Further, the  affected  community  may

conditions  do  not  pose  a  significant  threat  and the site is being
addressed by a volunteer, the notice shall state that the department has
determined that no remediation is required for the  off-site  areas  and
that  the  department's determination of a significant threat is subject
to this forty-five day comment period. (2) If the [remedial  work  plan]
REMEDY  includes  a Track 2, Track 3 or Track 4 remedy at a non-signifi-
cant threat site, such comment period shall apply both to  the  approval

conditioning. For purposes of clauses (iv) and (v) of this subparagraph,
property  purchased  by  a  taxpayer affiliated with a regulated broker,
dealer, or registered investment adviser is allowed a credit under  this
subsection  if  the property is used by its affiliated regulated broker,
dealer  or  registered  investment  adviser  in  accordance  with   this
subsection.  For  purposes of determining if the property is principally
used in qualifying uses, the uses by the taxpayer described  in  clauses
(iv)  and  (v)  of this subparagraph may be aggregated. In addition, the
uses by the taxpayer, its affiliated regulated broker, dealer and regis-
tered investment adviser under either or both of those  clauses  may  be
aggregated. Provided, however, a taxpayer shall not be allowed the cred-
it  provided  by  clauses  (iv)  and (v) of this subparagraph unless (I)
eighty percent or more of the employees  performing  the  administrative
and  support  functions resulting from or related to the qualifying uses
of such equipment are located in this state, or (II) the average  number
of  employees  that  perform  the  administrative  and support functions
resulting from or related to the qualifying uses of such  equipment  and

is claimed is equal to or greater than ninety-five percent of the  aver-
age  number of employees that perform these functions and are located in
this state during the thirty-six months immediately preceding  the  year
for  which  the  credit  is  claimed,  or  (III) the number of employees
located in this state during the taxable year for which  the  credit  is
claimed  is  equal  to  or  greater than ninety percent of the number of
employees located in  this  state  on  December  thirty-first,  nineteen
hundred ninety-eight or, if the taxpayer was not a calendar year taxpay-
er  in  nineteen hundred ninety-eight, the last day of its first taxable
year ending after December thirty-first, nineteen hundred  ninety-eight.
If  the  taxpayer becomes subject to tax in this state after the taxable
year beginning in nineteen hundred ninety-eight, then  the  taxpayer  is
not  required  to  satisfy the employment test provided in the preceding
sentence of this subparagraph  for  its  first  taxable  year.  For  the
purposes  of  clause (III) of this subparagraph the employment test will
be based on the number of employees located in this state  on  the  last
day  of  the  first  taxable year the taxpayer is subject to tax in this
state. If the uses of the  property  must  be  aggregated  to  determine
whether the property is principally used in qualifying uses, then either
each  affiliate  using the property must satisfy this employment test or
this employment test must be satisfied through the  aggregation  of  the
employees  of the taxpayer, its affiliated regulated broker, dealer, and
registered investment adviser using the property. For purposes  of  this
subsection, the term "goods" shall not include electricity].

A participant may not claim both the  excelsior  investment  tax  credit
component  and the investment tax credit set forth in subdivision twelve
of section two hundred ten[,] OR subsection (a) of section  six  hundred
six[,  subsection (i) of section fourteen hundred fifty-six, or subdivi-

under  section  2056 of the internal revenue code if not for the limita-
tion imposed by subsection (d)(1) of such section shall  nonetheless  be
treated  as  qualifying for the federal estate tax marital deduction for

surviving spouse in a qualified domestic trust as required  for  federal
purposes by internal revenue code section 2056(d)(2).

of  part  I  of  chapter  60  of the laws of 2004, is amended to read as
follows:
  S 952. Tax imposed. (a) A tax is hereby imposed on the transfer of the
New York estate by every deceased individual who at his or her death was
a resident of New York state. [The tax imposed by this subsection  shall
be  an  amount equal to the maximum amount allowable against the federal
estate tax as a credit for state death taxes under section two  thousand
eleven of the internal revenue code.]
  (b)  [If the transfer of any part of the estate of a deceased resident
includes real or tangible  personal  property  having  an  actual  situs
outside  New  York  state,  the  tax  imposed  by subsection (a) of this
section shall be reduced by an  amount  determined  by  multiplying  the
maximum  amount  of  the federal credit for state death taxes by a frac-
tion, the numerator of which is  the  decedent's  federal  gross  estate
reduced by his or her New York gross estate and the denominator of which
is his or her federal gross estate.] COMPUTATION OF TAX. THE TAX IMPOSED

  S  954.  Resident's New York gross estate. (a) General.-- The New York
gross estate of a deceased resident  means  his  OR  HER  federal  gross
estate as defined in the internal revenue code (whether or not a federal
estate tax return is required to be filed) modified as follows:
  (1)  Reduced by the value of real or tangible personal property having
an actual situs outside New York state.
  (2) Increased by the amount  determined  under  section  nine  hundred
fifty-seven  OF  THIS  PART  (relating  to limited powers of appointment
created prior to September first, nineteen hundred thirty).
  (3) INCREASED BY THE AMOUNT OF ANY TAXABLE GIFT UNDER SECTION 2503  OF
THE  INTERNAL  REVENUE CODE, ON OR AFTER APRIL FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FOUR-
TEEN, IF THE DECEDENT WAS A RESIDENT OF NEW YORK STATE AT THE TIME  SUCH
GIFT WAS MADE.
  (b)  Valuation. -- (1) The New York gross estate shall be valued as of
the TIME OF THE DECEDENT'S DEATH, EXCEPT THAT IF A  FEDERAL  ESTATE  TAX
RETURN  IS  FILED  AND THE ALTERNATE VALUATION UNDER SECTION 2032 OF THE
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE IS ELECTED FOR FEDERAL ESTATE  TAX  PURPOSES,  THE
NEW YORK GROSS ESTATE SHALL BE VALUED AS OF THE applicable federal valu-
ation date or dates. Any real property qualified under section two thou-
sand thirty-two-A of the internal revenue code shall have the same value
for  purposes  of the New York gross estate as it has for federal estate
tax purposes.
  (2) IF SUCH ALTERNATE VALUATION COULD HAVE BEEN  ELECTED  PURSUANT  TO
PARAGRAPH  ONE  OF  THIS  SUBSECTION,  BUT  FOR THE ABSENCE OF AN ESTATE
SUFFICIENT TO REQUIRE THE FILING OF A FEDERAL RETURN, THE NEW YORK GROSS
ESTATE MAY, UPON THE ELECTION OF THE  EXECUTOR,  BE  VALUED  AS  OF  THE
FEDERAL  VALUATION  DATE  OR DATES WHICH WOULD HAVE APPLIED IF A FEDERAL
RETURN HAD BEEN FILED. HOWEVER, NO ELECTION MAY BE MADE UNDER THIS PARA-
GRAPH UNLESS SUCH ELECTION WILL DECREASE THE VALUE OF THE NEW YORK GROSS
ESTATE AND THE AMOUNT OF TAX IMPOSED BY THIS ARTICLE (REDUCED BY CREDITS
ALLOWABLE AGAINST SUCH TAX). ANY  ELECTION  MADE  UNDER  THIS  PARAGRAPH
SHALL  BE  IRREVOCABLE.  THE ELECTION ALLOWED BY THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE
MADE NO LATER THAN THE DATE PRESCRIBED FOR  THE  FILING  OF  THE  RETURN
UNDER  THIS ARTICLE (INCLUDING EXTENSIONS) OR ANY TIME THEREAFTER AS THE
COMMISSIONER MAY PRESCRIBE.

  Section  1.  Paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision  1 of section 1003 of the
racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, as amended by chapter 174
of the laws of 2013, is amended to read as follows:
  (a)  Any  racing  association  or  corporation  or  regional off-track
betting corporation, authorized to conduct  pari-mutuel  wagering  under
this  chapter, desiring to display the simulcast of horse races on which
pari-mutuel betting shall be permitted in the manner and subject to  the
conditions  provided for in this article may apply to the commission for
a license so to do.  Applications for licenses shall be in such form  as
may  be  prescribed by the commission and shall contain such information
or other material or evidence as the commission may require. No  license
shall be issued by the commission authorizing the simulcast transmission
of  thoroughbred  races  from a track located in Suffolk county. The fee
for such licenses shall be five hundred dollars per  simulcast  facility
and  for  account wagering licensees that do not operate either a simul-
cast facility that is open to the public within the state of New York or
a licensed racetrack within the state, twenty thousand dollars per  year
payable  by  the licensee to the commission for deposit into the general
fund. Except as provided in  this  section,  the  commission  shall  not
approve any application to conduct simulcasting into individual or group
residences,  homes  or  other areas for the purposes of or in connection
with pari-mutuel wagering. The [board] COMMISSION may approve simulcast-
ing into residences, homes or other areas to be conducted jointly by one
or more regional off-track betting corporations and one or more  of  the
following:  a franchised corporation, thoroughbred racing corporation or
a harness racing corporation or association; provided (i) the simulcast-
ing consists only of those races on which pari-mutuel betting is author-
ized by this chapter at one or more simulcast facilities for each of the
contracting off-track betting corporations which  shall  include  wagers
made  in  accordance  with  section  one  thousand fifteen, one thousand
sixteen and one thousand seventeen of  this  article;  provided  further
that  the  contract  provisions or other simulcast arrangements for such
simulcast facility shall be no less favorable than those  in  effect  on
January  first,  two  thousand  five;  (ii)  that each off-track betting
corporation having within its  geographic  boundaries  such  residences,
homes  or  other  areas  technically  capable of receiving the simulcast
signal shall be a contracting party; (iii) the distribution of  revenues
shall  be  subject  to  contractual agreement of the parties except that
statutory payments to  non-contracting  parties,  if  any,  may  not  be
reduced;  provided,  however,  that nothing herein to the contrary shall
prevent a track from televising its races on an irregular basis primari-
ly for promotional or marketing purposes as found by the [board] COMMIS-
SION.  For purposes of this paragraph, the  provisions  of  section  one
thousand thirteen of this article shall not apply. Any agreement author-
izing  an  in-home  simulcasting  experiment  commencing  prior  to  May
fifteenth, nineteen hundred ninety-five, may,  and  all  its  terms,  be
extended   until   June  thirtieth,  two  thousand  [fourteen]  FIFTEEN;

nate  such  agreement upon conveying written notice to all other parties
of such agreement at least forty-five days prior to the  effective  date

receiving such notice of an intent to terminate, may request the [board]
COMMISSION to mediate between the parties new terms and conditions in  a
replacement agreement between the parties as will permit continuation of
an  in-home  experiment  until  June  thirtieth, two thousand [fourteen]

for  purses  to  be  awarded  at races conducted by such receiving track
shall be computed as follows: of the sums so retained, two and  one-half
percent  of the total pools. Such amount shall be increased or decreased
in the amount of fifty percent of the difference  in  total  commissions
determined by comparing the total commissions available after July twen-
ty-first,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-five  to the total commissions that
would have been available to such  track  prior  to  July  twenty-first,

corporation located within the state is conducting  racing,  every  off-
track  betting corporation branch office and every simulcasting facility
licensed in accordance  with  section  one  thousand  seven  (that  have
entered  into  a  written  agreement with such facility's representative

  (a) The  franchised  corporation  authorized  under  this  chapter  to
conduct pari-mutuel betting at a race meeting or races run thereat shall
distribute  all sums deposited in any pari-mutuel pool to the holders of
winning tickets therein, provided such tickets be presented for  payment
before  April  first  of  the year following the year of their purchase,
less an amount which shall be established and  retained  by  such  fran-
chised  corporation  of  between  twelve  to seventeen per centum of the
total deposits in pools resulting from on-track regular bets, and  four-
teen  to  twenty-one per centum of the total deposits in pools resulting
from on-track multiple bets and fifteen to twenty-five per centum of the
total deposits in pools resulting from on-track exotic bets and  fifteen
to  thirty-six  per centum of the total deposits in pools resulting from
on-track super exotic bets, plus the breaks. The retention  rate  to  be
established is subject to the prior approval of the [racing and wagering
board]  GAMING  COMMISSION.  Such rate may not be changed more than once
per calendar quarter to be effective on the first day  of  the  calendar
quarter.  "Exotic  bets" and "multiple bets" shall have the meanings set
forth in section five hundred nineteen of this chapter.   "Super  exotic
bets"  shall  have the meaning set forth in section three hundred one of
this chapter. For purposes of this section, a "pick six bet" shall  mean

twenty-five dollars, over any multiple of twenty-five for payoffs great-
er  than twenty-five dollars but less than two hundred fifty dollars, or
over any multiple of fifty for payoffs over two hundred  fifty  dollars.
Out  of  the  amount  so retained there shall be paid by such franchised
corporation to the commissioner of taxation and finance, as a reasonable
tax by the state for the privilege of conducting pari-mutuel betting  on
the  races run at the race meetings held by such franchised corporation,
the following percentages of the total pool  for  regular  and  multiple
bets  five  per  centum  of regular bets and four per centum of multiple
bets plus twenty per centum of the breaks; for exotic wagers  seven  and
one-half  per centum plus twenty per centum of the breaks, and for super
exotic bets seven and one-half per centum plus fifty per centum  of  the
breaks.  For the period June first, nineteen hundred ninety-five through
September ninth, nineteen  hundred  ninety-nine,  such  tax  on  regular
wagers  shall  be three per centum and such tax on multiple wagers shall
be two and one-half per centum, plus twenty per centum  of  the  breaks.
For  the  period  September  tenth, nineteen hundred ninety-nine through
March thirty-first, two thousand one, such tax on all  wagers  shall  be
two  and six-tenths per centum and for the period April first, two thou-
sand one through December thirty-first, two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN,

  Section  1. Clause (H) of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph 1 of subdivi-
sion b of section 1612 of the tax law, as separately amended by chapters
174 and 175 of the laws of 2013, is amended to read as follows:
  (H) notwithstanding clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F)  and  (G)  of
this  subparagraph, the track operator of a vendor track shall be eligi-
ble for a vendor's capital award of up to  four  percent  of  the  total
revenue  wagered at the vendor track after payout for prizes pursuant to
this chapter, which  shall  be  used  exclusively  for  capital  project
investments  to improve the facilities of the vendor track which promote
or encourage increased attendance at the video lottery  gaming  facility
including,  but  not limited to hotels, other lodging facilities, enter-
tainment  facilities,  retail  facilities,  dining  facilities,   events
arenas,  parking  garages  and  other improvements that enhance facility
amenities; provided that such capital investments shall be  approved  by
the  division, in consultation with the state racing and wagering board,
and that such vendor track demonstrates that such  capital  expenditures
will  increase  patronage at such vendor track's facilities and increase
the amount of revenue generated to support state education programs. The
annual amount of such vendor's capital awards that a vendor track  shall
be  eligible  to  receive  shall  be limited to two million five hundred
thousand dollars, except for Aqueduct racetrack, for which  there  shall
be  no  vendor's  capital awards. Except for tracks having less than one
thousand one hundred video gaming machines,  and  except  for  a  vendor
track  located west of State Route 14 from Sodus Point to the Pennsylva-
nia border within New York, each track operator  shall  be  required  to
co-invest  an  amount  of  capital  expenditure  equal to its cumulative
vendor's capital award. For all tracks, except for  Aqueduct  racetrack,
the amount of any vendor's capital award that is not used during any one
year  period  may  be  carried  over into subsequent years ending before
April first, two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN.   Any amount  attributable
to  a  capital  expenditure  approved prior to April first, two thousand
[fourteen] FIFTEEN  and  completed  before  April  first,  two  thousand
[sixteen]  SEVENTEEN;  or  approved  prior  to April first, two thousand
[eighteen] NINETEEN and  completed  before  April  first,  two  thousand
[twenty]  TWENTY-ONE  for  a vendor track located west of State Route 14
from Sodus Point to the Pennsylvania border within New  York,  shall  be
eligible  to  receive  the  vendor's  capital award. In the event that a
vendor track's capital expenditures, approved by the division  prior  to
April  first,  two  thousand  [fourteen]  FIFTEEN and completed prior to
April first, two thousand [sixteen] SEVENTEEN, exceed the vendor track's
cumulative capital award during the five year period ending April first,
two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN, the vendor shall  continue  to  receive
the  capital  award  after  April first, two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN
until such approved capital expenditures are paid to  the  vendor  track
subject  to  any  required  co-investment.  In no event shall any vendor

subparagraph  be  eligible  for  a  vendor's  capital  award  under this
section. Any operator of a vendor track which has  received  a  vendor's
capital  award,  choosing to divest the capital improvement toward which
the award was applied, prior to the full  depreciation  of  the  capital
improvement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
shall  reimburse  the  state  in  amounts equal to the total of any such
awards. Any capital award not approved for a capital  expenditure  at  a
video  lottery  gaming  facility by April first, two thousand [fourteen]
FIFTEEN shall be deposited into the state  lottery  fund  for  education
aid; and

and as often as he deems advisable provide for the issuance  and  exclu-
sive  use  of stamps of a new design and forbid the use of stamps of any

CONTRACTS FOR DIES, PLATES AND PRINTING NECESSARY FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF
THE STAMPS PROVIDED FOR BY THIS ARTICLE, AND HIRE STAFF AND PROVIDE SUCH

such  stamps. Such schedule shall be uniform with respect to the differ-

to  the  number  of  stamps  purchased.  The  commissioner  may,  in his
discretion, permit an agent to pay for such stamps  within  thirty  days
after  the  date of purchase and may require any such agent to file with
the department of taxation and finance a bond issued by a surety company
approved by the superintendent of financial services as to solvency  and
responsibility and authorized to transact business in the state or other
security  acceptable  to the commissioner, in such amount as the commis-
sioner may fix, to secure the payment of any sums due  from  such  agent
pursuant  to this article. If securities are deposited as security under
this subdivision, such securities shall be kept in the  custody  of  the
commissioner and may be sold by the commissioner if it becomes necessary
so  to  do  in order to recover any sums due from such agent pursuant to
this article, but no such sale shall be had until after such agent shall
have had opportunity to litigate the validity of any tax if it elects so
to do. Upon any such sale, the surplus, if any, above the sums due under
this article shall be returned to such agent.

of any net operating loss deduction allowable in  computing  entire  net

RATION  DIVIDENDS  WILL  NOT  BE  PRECLUDED  FROM  MAKING  THOSE   OTHER
ELECTIONS.
  (D)  IF  THE  TAXPAYER  ATTRIBUTES INTEREST DEDUCTIONS TO OTHER EXEMPT
INCOME AND THE AMOUNT SUBTRACTED EXCEEDS OTHER EXEMPT INCOME, THE EXCESS
OF THE INTEREST DEDUCTIONS OVER OTHER EXEMPT INCOME MUST BE  ADDED  BACK
TO ENTIRE NET INCOME. IN NO CASE SHALL OTHER EXEMPT INCOME EXCEED ENTIRE
NET INCOME.

operating  in the foreign country or countries in which the taxpayer has
its major base of operations and in which it is organized,  resident  or
headquartered  (if  not  in  the same country as its major base of oper-
ations) are not subject to any tax  based  on  or  measured  by  capital
imposed  by  such foreign country or countries or any political subdivi-
sion thereof, or if taxed, are provided an exemption, equivalent to that

from  a  former  DISC attributable to amounts includible in a taxpayer's
entire net income for a prior taxable year  under  subparagraph  (B)  of
paragraph (i) of subdivision nine of this section shall be excluded from
entire net income,
  (c)  any gain recognized for federal income tax purposes on the dispo-
sition of stock in a DISC, and any gain recognized on the disposition of
stock in a former DISC, includible in gross income as a dividend  pursu-
ant  to subsection (c) of section nine hundred ninety-five of the inter-

business income, and
  (d)  except  as  provided in paragraph (i) of subdivision nine of this
section, any actual distribution from a DISC or a former DISC  shall  be
treated  as  business  income  except  an  actual distribution which for
federal income tax purposes is treated as made out  of  "other  earnings
and  profits"  under  section  nine  hundred  ninety-six of the internal
revenue code of nineteen hundred fifty-four, in which case  such  actual
distribution  shall  be treated as [either subsidiary income or] invest-

shall be determined with the adjustments provided in subparagraph two of
paragraph  (a) of this subdivision, and shall be reduced by the items of
tax preference determined under subparagraph one  of  paragraph  (a)  of
this  subdivision,  attributable to such year. An item of tax preference
shall be taken into account only to the extent such item  increased  the

minimum  taxable  income  determined  without  regard to such deduction,
provided, however, the term "ninety percent" shall be  read  as  "forty-
five  percent"  with  respect  to  taxable  years  beginning in nineteen
hundred ninety-four.

or if so subject to such tax, are provided an exemption  from  such  tax
equivalent to that provided for herein.
  (c-2)  Adjustments by qualified public utilities. (1) In the case of a
taxpayer which is a qualified public utility, entire net income shall be
computed with the adjustments set forth in this paragraph.
  (2) Definitions. (A) Qualified public  utility.  The  term  "qualified
public  utility"  means  a taxpayer which: (i) on December thirty-first,
nineteen hundred ninety-nine, was subject to the ratemaking  supervision
of  the state department of public service, and (ii) for the year ending
on December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-nine, was  subject  to
tax under former section one hundred eighty-six of this chapter.
  (B) Transition property. The term "transition property" means property
placed  in  service  by the taxpayer before January first, two thousand,
for which a depreciation deduction is allowed under section one  hundred

erty, the deduction for federal income  tax  purposes  for  depreciation
shall not be allowed.
  (4)  New  York  depreciation.  With  respect to transition property, a
deduction shall be allowed for the depreciation  expense  shown  on  the
books and records of the taxpayer for the taxable year and determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
  (5) Regulatory assets. A deduction shall be allowed for amounts recog-
nized  as expense on the books and records of the taxpayer for the taxa-
ble year, which amounts were recognized as expense  for  federal  income
tax  purposes  in  a  taxable  year ending on or before December thirty-
first, nineteen hundred ninety-nine, where: (A) such  amounts  represent
expenditures  which, when made, were charged to a deferred debit account
or similar asset account on the books and records of the  taxpayer,  and
where  (B)  the  recognition  of expense on the books and records of the
taxpayer is matched by revenue stemming from a procedure  or  adjustment
allowing  the  recovery of such expenditures, and where (C) such revenue
is recognized for federal income tax purposes in the taxable year.
  (6) Basis for gain or loss. (A) Recognition transactions. (i)  General

S. 6359--B                         19                         A. 8559--B

ble  year  in a transaction of the type requiring recognition of gain or
loss for federal income tax purposes,  the  basis  for  determining  the
amount  of such gain or loss under this article shall be the cost of the
property less the accumulated depreciation on the property determined on
the  books  and  records  of  the  taxpayer in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
  (ii) Qualified gain - New York basis.  Where  a  sale  or  disposition
described in subclause (i) of this clause results in recognition of gain
for  federal  income tax purposes, and where either (I) such recognition
occurs in a taxable year ending after nineteen hundred  ninety-nine  and
before  two  thousand ten, or (II) such recognition is with respect to a
nuclear electric generating facility,  the  basis  for  determining  the
amount of such gain under this article shall be the cost of the property
less  the aggregate of the New York depreciation deductions on the prop-
erty determined under subparagraph four of this paragraph.
  (iii) No conversion of gain to loss.  In  the  event  that  the  basis
determined  under subclause (ii) of this clause results in determination
of a loss on the sale or disposition of the property, no  gain  or  loss
shall  be  recognized  under  this  article with respect to such sale or
disposition.
  (B) Nonrecognition transactions. (i) Carryover basis. (I) where  tran-
sition property is disposed of ("original disposition") in a transaction
of  a type requiring deferral of recognition of gain or loss for federal
income tax purposes, and where (II) there is a subsequent recognition of
gain or loss for federal income tax purposes ("clause B gain or  loss"),
the  amount of which is determined by reference, in whole or in part, to
the basis of such transition property  ("underlying  transition  proper-
ty"),  then  (III)  the  amount of such clause B gain or loss under this
article shall be adjusted as provided in subclause (ii) or (iii) of this
clause.
  (ii) General rule - book  basis  adjustment.  Except  as  provided  in
subclause  (iii)  of  this  clause, the amount of clause B gain shall be
reduced, or the amount of clause B loss  increased,  by  the  amount  by
which  the  book basis of the underlying transition property on the date
of original disposition (determined using the  provisions  of  subclause
(i)  of  clause (A) of this subparagraph) exceeds the federal income tax
basis of such property on such date.
  (iii) Qualified gain - New York basis adjustment. Where clause B  gain
either  (I) occurs in a taxable year ending after nineteen hundred nine-
ty-nine and before two thousand ten, or (II) is with respect to a nucle-
ar electric generating facility, the amount  of  such  gain  under  this
article shall be reduced, but not below zero, by the amount by which the
New  York  basis  of  the  underlying transition property on the date of
original disposition (determined using the provisions of subclause  (ii)
of clause (A) of this subparagraph) exceeds the federal income tax basis
of such property on such date.
  (iv)  Application  to  replacement  property and transferee taxpayers.
This clause shall apply whether the clause B gain or loss: (I)  is  with
respect  to either transition property or depreciable property the basis
of which is determined by reference to transition property, or  (II)  is
recognized  by  either a qualified public utility or by a taxpayer which
is a transferee of transition property (whether or not  such  transferee
is  a qualified public utility, notwithstanding subparagraph one of this
paragraph).

provided  in this subparagraph. (A) All transition property shown on the
books and records of the taxpayer on January first, two  thousand  shall
be  treated  as  a  single asset placed in service on such date. The New
York basis for purposes of computing the depreciation deduction on  such
single  asset  shall  be  the net book value of such transition property
determined on the first day of the federal taxable year  ending  in  two
thousand  (or  on  the  date  any such property is placed in service, if
later) adjusted as provided in clause (B) of this subparagraph.
  (B) If transition property is sold or otherwise disposed of,  the  New
York basis of the single asset shall be reduced on the date of such sale
or  disposition  by the amount of the adjusted federal tax basis of such
property on such date.
  (C) The New York depreciation deduction allowed for any  taxable  year
with  respect to such single asset shall be computed using the straight-
line method, a twenty-year life, and a salvage value of zero.
  (D) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "net book value" means
cost reduced by accumulated depreciation shown on the books and  records
of the taxpayer and determined, in the case of a qualified power produc-
er,  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; and in
the case of a qualified pipeline,  in  accordance  with  the  taxpayer's
regulatory  reports  filed with the federal energy regulatory commission

included,  without  regard  to  the method of accounting employed by the
taxpayer[;].

erties, the annual interest upon its bonds and  other  obligations,  and
the  annual  charge  for  the retirement of such bonds or obligations at
maturity[;].
  [(f) A net operating loss deduction shall be allowed  which  shall  be
presumably  the  same  as the net operating loss deduction allowed under
section one hundred seventy-two of the internal revenue code,  or  which
would  have  been allowed if the taxpayer had not made an election under
subchapter s of chapter one of the internal revenue code, except that in
every instance where such deduction is allowed under this article:
  (1) any net operating loss  included  in  determining  such  deduction
shall  be  adjusted to reflect the inclusions and exclusions from entire
net income required by paragraphs (a), (b) and (g) hereof,
  (2) such deduction shall not include any net operating loss  sustained
during  any  taxable  year  beginning  prior  to January first, nineteen
hundred sixty-one, or during any taxable year in which the taxpayer  was
not subject to the tax imposed by this article,
  (3) such deduction shall not exceed the deduction for the taxable year
allowed  under  section  one hundred seventy-two of the internal revenue
code, or the deduction for  the  taxable  year  which  would  have  been
allowed  if  the taxpayer had not made an election under subchapter s of
chapter one of the internal revenue code,
  (4) in the case of a New York S corporation, such deduction shall  not
include  any  net  operating  loss sustained during a New York C year or
during a New York S year beginning prior to nineteen hundred ninety, and
in the case of a New  York  C  corporation,  such  deduction  shall  not
include  any  net  operating  loss  sustained  during a New York S year,
provided, however, a New York S year shall be treated as a taxable  year
for  purposes  of determining the number of taxable years to which a net
operating loss may be carried back or carried forward, and
  (5) the net operating loss deduction allowed under section one hundred
seventy-two of the internal revenue code  shall  for  purposes  of  this
paragraph  be  determined  as  if  the  taxpayer  had elected under such
section to relinquish the entire carryback period with  respect  to  net
operating  losses, except with respect to the first ten thousand dollars
of each of such losses, sustained during taxable years ending after June
thirtieth, nineteen hundred eighty-nine.
  (g) For taxable years commencing  prior  to  January  first,  nineteen
hundred eighty-seven, at the election of the taxpayer, a deduction shall

industrial waste treatment facilities or air pollution  control  facili-
ties,  or,  with  respect to taxable years beginning on or after January
first, nineteen hundred seventy-seven and before January first, nineteen

environmental  conservation, but excluding such facilities installed for
the primary purpose of salvaging materials which are usable in the manu-
facturing process or are marketable and excluding those facilities which
rely for their efficacy on dilution, dispersion or assimilation  of  air
contaminants  in the ambient air after emission. Such term shall further

such  portion  of the cost of an industrial production facility designed
for the purpose of obviating the need for air pollution control  facili-
ties  as  defined in item one of this clause as shall exceed the cost of
an industrial production facility of equal productive capacity which  if
constructed  would  require  air  pollution  control facilities to inert
emission standards as established pursuant to  title  three  of  article
nineteen of the environmental conservation law but only to the extent of
the cost of such air pollution control facilities.
  (2) However, such deduction shall be allowed only
  (A)  with  respect to tangible property which is depreciable, pursuant
to section one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code,  having
a  situs in this state and used in the taxpayer's trade or business, the
construction, reconstruction, erection or improvement of which,  in  the

that any deduction allowed for federal  income  tax  purposes  for  such
expenditures or for depreciation or amortization of the same property be
proportionately  reduced  in computing entire net income for the taxable
year and all succeeding taxable years, and
  (D) where the election provided for in paragraph  (d)  of  subdivision
three  of section two hundred ten of this chapter has not been exercised
in respect to the same property.
  (3) (A) If expenditures in respect to an  industrial  waste  treatment
facility,  an air pollution control facility, an industrial waste treat-
ment controlled process facility or an air pollution controlled  process
facility  have  been deducted as provided herein and if within ten years
from the end of the taxable year in which  such  deduction  was  allowed
such  property  or  any  part thereof is used for the primary purpose of
salvaging materials which are usable in the manufacturing process or are
marketable, the taxpayer shall report such change of use in  its  report
for  the  first taxable year during which it occurs, and the tax commis-
sion may recompute the  tax  for  the  year  or  years  for  which  such
deduction  was  allowed  and  any  carryback  or carryover year, and may
assess any additional tax resulting from such recomputation  within  the
time  fixed  by  paragraph nine of subsection (c) of section ten hundred
eighty-three of this chapter.
  (B) If a deduction is allowed as herein provided for expenditures paid
or incurred during any taxable year on the basis of a temporary  certif-
icate  of  compliance  issued pursuant to the environmental conservation
law and if the taxpayer fails  to  obtain  a  permanent  certificate  of
compliance  upon completion of the facilities with respect to which such
temporary certificate was issued, the taxpayer shall report such failure
in its report for the taxable year  during  which  such  facilities  are
completed,  and the tax commission may recompute the tax for the year or
years for which such deduction was allowed and any carryback  or  carry-
over  year,  and  may  assess  any additional tax resulting from in such
recomputation within the time fixed by paragraph nine of subsection  (c)
of section ten hundred eighty-three.
  (C) If a deduction is allowed as herein provided for expenditures paid
or  incurred  during  any  taxable  year  in respect to an air pollution
control facility on the basis of  a  certificate  of  compliance  issued
pursuant  to  the  environmental conservation law and the certificate is
revoked pursuant to subdivision three of section 19-0309 of the environ-
mental conservation law, the tax commission may recompute  the  tax  for
the year or years for which the facility is not or was not in compliance
with  the  applicable  provisions of the environmental conservation law,
the state sanitary code or codes, rules, regulations, permits or  orders
promulgated  pursuant thereto, and for which a deduction was allowed, as
well as for any carryback or carryover year to which such deduction  was
carried,  and may assess any additional tax resulting from such recompu-
tation within the time fixed by paragraph  nine  of  subsection  (c)  of
section ten hundred eighty-three.
  (4)  In  any  taxable year when property is sold or otherwise disposed
of, with respect to which a deduction has been allowed pursuant to  this

S. 6359--B                         24                         A. 8559--B

paragraph,  such  deduction  shall  be  disregarded in computing gain or
loss, and the gain or loss on the sale  or  other  disposition  of  such
property  shall  be  the  gain  or loss entering into the computation of
entire  taxable  income  which the taxpayer is required to report to the
United States treasury department for such taxable year.]
  (h) If the period covered by a report under this article is other than
the period covered by the report to the United States  treasury  depart-
ment,
  (1)  except  as provided in subparagraph two hereof, entire net income
shall be determined by multiplying the taxable income reported  to  such
department  (as  adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this article) by
the number of calendar months or major  parts  thereof  covered  by  the
report  under this article and dividing by the number of calendar months
or major parts thereof covered by the report to such department.  If  it
shall  appear that such method of determining entire net income does not
properly reflect the taxpayer's income during the period covered by  the
report  under  this  article, the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER shall be
authorized in its discretion to determine such entire net income  solely
on  the  basis of the taxpayer's income during the period covered by its
report under this article[;].
  (2) [in] IN the case of a  New  York  S  termination  year,  an  equal
portion of entire net income shall be assigned to each day of such year.
The  portion  of  such entire net income thereby assigned to the S short
year and the C short year shall be included in  the  respective  reports
for  the  S short year and the C short year under this article. However,
where paragraph three of subsection (s) of section six hundred twelve of
this chapter applies, the portion of such entire net income assigned  to
the  S  short year and the C short year shall be determined under normal
tax accounting rules.
  (i) With respect to a DISC which during any taxable year or  reporting
year  (1)  received  more  than five percent of its gross sales from the
sale of inventory or other property which it purchased from  its  stock-
holders,  (2)  received more than five percent of its gross rentals from
the rental of property which it purchased or rented from its  stockhold-
ers  or  (3) received more than five percent of its total receipts other
than sales and rentals from its stockholders, the  following  provisions
shall apply.
  (A)  For any taxable year in which sub-paragraph (B) of this paragraph
is in effect and not rendered invalid, a DISC  meeting  the  above  test
shall be exempt from all taxes imposed by this article.
  (B)  Supplemental to the provisions of subdivision five of section two
hundred eleven of this article, any taxpayer required to compute  a  tax
under  this  article, which during the taxable year being reported was a
stockholder in any DISC meeting the test prescribed in  this  paragraph,
shall  for any taxable year ending after December thirty-first, nineteen
hundred seventy-one adjust each item of its receipts,  expenses,  assets
and  liabilities,  as  otherwise  computed under this article, by adding
thereto its attributable share of each such DISC's  receipts,  expenses,
assets  and  liabilities  as  reportable by each such DISC to the United
States Treasury Department for its annual reporting period ending during
the current taxable year of such taxpayer; provided, however,  (1)  that
all transactions between the taxpayer and each such DISC shall be elimi-
nated  from  the  taxpayer's  adjusted  receipts,  expenses,  assets and
liabilities; (2) that the taxpayer's  entire  net  income  as  otherwise
computed  under this section, shall be reduced by subtracting the amount
of the deemed distribution of current income, if  any,  from  each  such

S. 6359--B                         25                         A. 8559--B

DISC  already  included  in  the  entire  net income of such taxpayer by
virtue of having been included in its entire  taxable  income  for  that
taxable  year  as reported to the United States Treasury Department; and
(3)  that  in  the  event this paragraph should be rendered invalid, all
DISC's and their stockholders taxable hereunder shall be  taxed  instead
under the remaining portions of this article.
  (j)  in the case of property placed in service in taxable years begin-
ning before nineteen hundred ninety-four, for  taxable  years  beginning
after  December  thirty-first,  nineteen hundred eighty-one, except with
respect to property subject to the provisions  of  section  two  hundred
eighty-F  of  the  internal  revenue  code  and  property subject to the
provisions of section one hundred sixty-eight of  the  internal  revenue
code which is placed in service in this state in taxable years beginning
after  December thirty-first, nineteen hundred eighty-four, and provided
a deduction has not been excluded from entire  net  income  pursuant  to
subparagraph  eight  of  paragraph  (b)  of this subdivision, a taxpayer
shall be allowed with respect  to  property  which  is  subject  to  the
provisions  of  section  one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue
code the depreciation deduction  allowable  under  section  one  hundred
sixty-seven  of  the  internal  revenue  code as such section would have
applied to property placed in service on December thirty-first, nineteen
hundred eighty. This paragraph shall not apply to property of a taxpayer
principally engaged in the conduct of aviation (other than  air  freight
forwarders  acting as principal and like indirect air carriers) which is
placed in service before taxable years  beginning  in  nineteen  hundred
eighty-nine.
  (k)  QSSS.  (1)  New  York  S corporation. In the case of a New York S
corporation which is the parent of a qualified subchapter  S  subsidiary
(QSSS) with respect to a taxable year:
  (A) where the QSSS is not an excluded corporation,
  (i)  in  determining the entire net income of such parent corporation,
all assets, liabilities, income and deductions  of  the  QSSS  shall  be
treated  as  assets,  liabilities,  income  and deductions of the parent
corporation, and
  (ii) the QSSS shall be exempt from all taxes imposed by this  article,
and
  (B)  where  the QSSS is an excluded corporation, the entire net income
of the parent corporation shall be determined as  if  the  federal  QSSS
election had not been made.
  (2)  New  York  C corporation. In the case of a New York C corporation
which is the parent of a QSSS with respect to a taxable year:
  (A) where the QSSS is a taxpayer,
  (i) in determining the entire net income of such  parent  corporation,
all  assets,  liabilities,  income  and  deductions of the QSSS shall be
treated as assets, liabilities, income  and  deductions  of  the  parent
corporation, and
  (ii)  the QSSS shall be exempt from all taxes imposed by this article,
and
  (B) where the QSSS is not a taxpayer,
  (i) if the QSSS is not an excluded corporation, the parent corporation
may make a QSSS inclusion election to include all  assets,  liabilities,
income  and  deductions  of  the QSSS as assets, liabilities, income and
deductions of the parent corporation, and
  (ii) in the absence of such election, or where the QSSS is an excluded
corporation, the entire net income of the parent  corporation  shall  be
determined as if the federal QSSS election had not been made.

S. 6359--B                         26                         A. 8559--B

  (3)  Non-New  York  S  corporation  not  excluded. In the case of an S
corporation which is not a taxpayer and not an excluded corporation, and
which is the parent of a QSSS which is a taxpayer, the  shareholders  of
the parent corporation shall be entitled to make the New York S election
under subsection (a) of section six hundred sixty of this chapter.
  (A)  For  any  taxable  year for which such election is in effect, the
parent corporation shall be subject to tax under this article as  a  New
York S corporation, and the provisions of clause (A) of subparagraph one
of this paragraph shall apply.
  (B) For any taxable year for which such election is not in effect, the
QSSS shall be a New York C corporation, and the entire net income of the
QSSS  shall  be  determined as if the federal QSSS election had not been
made. For purposes of such determination, the taxable year of the parent
corporation shall constitute the taxable year of  the  QSSS,  excluding,
however, any portion of such year during which the QSSS is not a taxpay-
er.
  (4)  S  corporation excluded. In the case of an S corporation which is
an excluded corporation and which is the parent of a  QSSS  which  is  a
taxpayer,  the QSSS shall be a New York C corporation and the provisions
of clause (B) of subparagraph three of this paragraph shall apply.
  (5) Excluded corporation. The  term  "excluded  corporation"  means  a
corporation  subject  to  tax  under  sections  one hundred eighty-three
through one hundred eighty-six, inclusive, or  article  [thirty-two  or]
thirty-three  of  this  chapter, or a foreign corporation not taxable by
this state which, if it were taxable, would be subject to tax under  any
of such sections or [articles] ARTICLE.
  (6)  Taxpayer.  For  purposes  of  this paragraph, the term "taxpayer"
means a parent corporation or QSSS subject to tax  under  this  article,
determined without regard to the provisions of this paragraph.
  (7)  QSSS  inclusion  election.  The  election  under subclause (i) of
clause (B) of subparagraph two of this paragraph shall be effective  for
the  taxable year for which made and for all succeeding taxable years of
the corporation until such election is terminated. An election or termi-
nation shall be made on such form and in such manner as the commissioner
may prescribe by regulation or instruction.
  (l) Emerging technology investment deferral. In the case of  any  sale
of a qualified emerging technologies investment held for more than thir-
ty-six months and with respect to which the taxpayer elects the applica-
tion  of this paragraph, gain from such sale shall be recognized only to
the extent that the amount realized on such sale exceeds the cost of any
qualified emerging technologies investment  purchased  by  the  taxpayer
during  the three hundred sixty-five-day period beginning on the date of
such sale, reduced by any portion of such  cost  previously  taken  into
account under this paragraph. For purposes of this paragraph the follow-
ing shall apply:
  (1)  A  qualified investment is stock of a corporation or an interest,
other than as a creditor, in a partnership or limited liability  company
that was acquired by the taxpayer as provided in Internal Revenue Code S
1202(c)(1)(B),  except  that  the  reference to the term "stock" in such
section shall be read as "investment," or by the taxpayer from a  person
who had acquired such stock or interest in such a manner.
  (2)  A qualified emerging technology investment is a qualified invest-
ment, that was held by the taxpayer for at least thirty-six months, in a
company defined in paragraph (c) of subdivision one of  section  thirty-
one  hundred  two-e  of the public authorities law or an investment in a
partnership or limited liability company that is taxed as a  partnership

S. 6359--B                         27                         A. 8559--B

to the extent that such partnership or limited liability company invests
in qualified emerging technology companies.
  (3)  For  purposes  of  determining whether the nonrecognition of gain
under this subsection  applies  to  a  qualified  emerging  technologies
investment  that is sold, the taxpayer's holding period for such invest-
ment  and  the  qualified  emerging  technologies  investment  that   is
purchased  shall be determined without regard to Internal Revenue Code S
1223.
  (m) Amounts deferred. The amount deferred under paragraph (l) of  this
subdivision shall be added to entire net income when the reinvestment in
the  New  York  qualified  emerging technology company which qualified a
taxpayer for such deferral is sold.
  [(n) Qualified gas transportation contracts.
  (1) Any tax paid under this article allocable to receipts attributable
to a "qualified gas transportation contract" shall  be  deemed  to  have
been paid under article nine of this chapter for all purposes of law for
taxable  years  commencing  on  or  after  January  first, two thousand,
computed as hereinafter provided, if all of the following conditions are
met:
  (i) For periods ending prior  to  January  first,  two  thousand,  the
taxpayer  paid  the  franchise tax due under section one hundred eighty-
four of this chapter.
  (ii) For the taxable year, all  of  the  receipts  from  the  pipeline
transportation  of natural gas attributable to the taxpayer and included
in the taxpayer's entire net income (without regard to  this  paragraph)
are  solely from the transportation of natural gas for wholesale custom-
ers and commercial retail customers.
  (iii) The taxpayer's franchise tax liability under  this  article  for
the  taxable  year (computed without regard to this paragraph) is deter-
mined under paragraph (a) of subdivision one of section two hundred  ten
of  this  article,  and such tax liability (without regard to this para-
graph) is greater than the liability the taxpayer  would  have  incurred
under  sections  one hundred eighty-three and one hundred eighty-four of
this chapter (as such sections existed on December  thirty-first,  nine-
teen hundred ninety-nine) based on the same taxable period.
  (iv)  The  taxpayer  is  a  party  to  a "qualified gas transportation
contract," as defined herein.
  (2) The provisions of this paragraph shall apply only for the  taxable
years during which such qualified gas transportation contract is in full
force  and  effect, and shall apply only to the receipts of the taxpayer
less any expenses of the taxpayer (but not less than zero),  during  the
taxable  year,  to  the  extent included in entire net income, which are
attributable  to  any  such  qualified  gas  transportation   contracts.
Provided,  further,  in  any event, the characterization hereunder shall
expire and be of no further force and effect for taxable years  commenc-
ing on or after January first, two thousand fifteen.
  (3)  The  term  "qualified  gas  transportation contract" shall mean a
service agreement for the transportation of natural gas for an  end-user
which  is a qualified cogeneration facility with a rated capacity of one
thousand megawatts or more, which (i) was entered  into  before  January
first, two thousand, and was in full force and effect and binding on the
parties  thereto as of such date, (ii) as originally executed, was for a
term of at least twenty years, and (iii) the terms of which prohibit the
pass-through to such customer of the franchise tax  imposed  under  this
article,  while  allowing the recovery of the gross earnings tax imposed
under section one hundred eighty-four of this chapter. A contract  shall

S. 6359--B                         28                         A. 8559--B

not  qualify as a qualified gas transportation contract if there is: (i)
any renewal or extension of an otherwise  qualified  gas  transportation
contract  occurring on or after January first, two thousand, or (ii) any
material amendment to, or supplementation of, an otherwise qualified gas
transportation  contract on or after such date. Such renewal, extension,
or material amendment or supplementation shall have the same  force  and
effect  of terminating the characterization hereunder as if the qualify-
ing contract had expired by its own terms.
  (o)] (N-1) For taxable years beginning  after  December  thirty-first,
two  thousand  two, in the case of qualified property described in para-
graph two of subsection k of section 168 of the internal  revenue  code,
other than qualified resurgence zone property described in paragraph (q)
of  this  subdivision,  and  other  than qualified New York Liberty Zone
property described in paragraph two of subsection b of section 1400L  of
the  internal revenue code (without regard to clause (i) of subparagraph
(C) of such paragraph), which was placed in service  on  or  after  June
first,  two  thousand three, a taxpayer shall be allowed with respect to
such property the depreciation deduction allowable under section 167  of
the  internal  revenue  code  as such section would have applied to such
property had it been acquired by the taxpayer on  September  tenth,  two
thousand one.
  (o)  Related  members  expense  add back. (1) Definitions. (A) Related
member. "Related member" means a related person as defined  in  subpara-
graph  (c)  of paragraph three of subsection (b) of section four hundred
sixty-five of the internal revenue code,  except  that  "fifty  percent"
shall be substituted for "ten percent".
  (B)  Effective  rate  of tax. "Effective rate of tax" means, as to any
state or U.S. possession, the maximum statutory rate of tax  imposed  by
the  state or possession on or measured by a related member's net income
multiplied by the apportionment percentage, if any,  applicable  to  the
related member under the laws of said jurisdiction. For purposes of this
definition, the effective rate of tax as to any state or U.S. possession
is  zero  where  the  related  member's net income tax liability in said
jurisdiction is reported on a combined or consolidated return  including
both the taxpayer and the related member where the reported transactions
between  the  taxpayer  and the related member are eliminated or offset.
Also, for purposes of this definition, when computing the effective rate
of tax for a jurisdiction in which a  related  member's  net  income  is
eliminated or offset by a credit or similar adjustment that is dependent
upon  the related member either maintaining or managing intangible prop-
erty or collecting interest income in  that  jurisdiction,  the  maximum
statutory rate of tax imposed by said jurisdiction shall be decreased to
reflect  the statutory rate of tax that applies to the related member as
effectively reduced by such credit or similar adjustment.
  (C) Royalty payments. Royalty payments are payments directly connected
to the acquisition, use, maintenance  or  management,  ownership,  sale,
exchange,  or any other disposition of licenses, trademarks, copyrights,
trade names, trade dress, service  marks,  mask  works,  trade  secrets,
patents  and  any other similar types of intangible assets as determined
by  the  commissioner,  and  include  amounts  allowable   as   interest
deductions under section one hundred sixty-three of the internal revenue
code  to the extent such amounts are directly or indirectly for, related
to or in connection with the acquisition, use,  maintenance  or  manage-
ment,  ownership,  sale,  exchange  or  disposition  of  such intangible
assets.

S. 6359--B                         29                         A. 8559--B

  (D) Valid Business Purpose. A valid business purpose is  one  or  more
business  purposes,  other  than the avoidance or reduction of taxation,
which alone or in combination constitute the primary motivation for some
business activity or transaction, which activity or transaction  changes
in  a  meaningful  way, apart from tax effects, the economic position of
the taxpayer. The economic position of the taxpayer includes an increase
in the market share of the taxpayer, or the entry by the  taxpayer  into
new business markets.
  (2) Royalty expense add backs. (A) Except where a taxpayer is included
in a combined report with a related member pursuant to [subdivision four
of]  section two hundred [eleven] TEN-C of this article, for the purpose
of computing entire net income or  other  applicable  taxable  basis,  a
taxpayer  must  add  back  royalty payments directly or indirectly paid,
accrued, or incurred in connection with one or more direct  or  indirect
transactions with one or more related members during the taxable year to
the extent deductible in calculating federal taxable income.
  (B)  Exceptions.  (i)  The adjustment required in this paragraph shall
not apply to the portion of the royalty payment that the taxpayer estab-
lishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the type  and  in  the  form
specified  by the commissioner, meets all of the following requirements:
(I) the related member was subject to tax in this state or another state
or possession of the United States or a foreign nation or some  combina-
tion  thereof  on  a  tax  base  that included the royalty payment paid,
accrued or incurred by the taxpayer; (II) the related member during  the
same  taxable year directly or indirectly paid, accrued or incurred such
portion to a person that is not a related member; and (III)  the  trans-
action  giving  rise to the royalty payment between the taxpayer and the
related member was undertaken for a valid business purpose.
  (ii) The adjustment required in this paragraph shall not apply if  the
taxpayer  establishes,  by clear and convincing evidence of the type and
in the form specified by the commissioner, that: (I) the related  member
was  subject  to  tax  on or measured by its net income in this state or
another state or possession of the United  States  or  some  combination
thereof;  (II)  the  tax  base for said tax included the royalty payment
paid, accrued or incurred by  the  taxpayer;  and  (III)  the  aggregate
effective  rate  of tax applied to the related member in those jurisdic-
tions is no less than eighty percent of the statutory rate of  tax  that
applied  to  the  taxpayer under section two hundred ten of this article
for the taxable year.
  (iii) The adjustment required in this paragraph shall not apply if the
taxpayer establishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the  type  and
in the form specified by the commissioner, that: (I) the royalty payment
was  paid,  accrued  or incurred to a related member organized under the
laws of a country  other  than  the  United  States;  (II)  the  related
member's  income  from  the  transaction  was subject to a comprehensive
income tax treaty between such country and the United States; (III)  the
related member was subject to tax in a foreign nation on a tax base that
included  the royalty payment paid, accrued or incurred by the taxpayer;
(IV) the related member's income from the transaction was taxed in  such
country  at  an  effective rate of tax at least equal to that imposed by
this state; and (V) the royalty payment was paid,  accrued  or  incurred
pursuant  to  a  transaction  that  was  undertaken for a valid business
purpose and using terms that reflect an arm's length relationship.
  (iv) The adjustment required in this paragraph shall not apply if  the
taxpayer and the commissioner agree in writing to the application or use
of alternative adjustments or computations. The commissioner may, in his

S. 6359--B                         30                         A. 8559--B

or  her  discretion,  agree  to  the  application  or use of alternative
adjustments or computations when he or she concludes that in the absence
of such agreement the income of  the  taxpayer  would  not  be  properly
reflected.
  (p) For taxable years beginning after December thirty-first, two thou-
sand  two,  upon  the  disposition  of property to which paragraph [(o)]
(N-1) of this subdivision applies, the amount of any gain or loss inclu-
dible in entire net income shall be adjusted to reflect  the  inclusions
and exclusions from entire net income pursuant to subparagraph seventeen
of  paragraph  (a)  and  subparagraph seventeen of paragraph (b) of this
subdivision attributable to such property.
  (q) For purposes of paragraphs [(o)] (N-1) and (p)  of  this  subdivi-
sion,  qualified  resurgence zone property shall mean qualified property
described in paragraph two of subsection k of section 168 of the  inter-
nal  revenue code substantially all of the use of which is in the resur-
gence zone, as defined below, and is in the active conduct of a trade or
business by the taxpayer in such zone, and the original use of which  in
the  resurgence  zone commences with the taxpayer after December thirty-
first, two thousand two. The resurgence zone shall mean the area of  New
York county bounded on the south by a line running from the intersection
of  the Hudson River with the Holland Tunnel, and running thence east to
Canal Street, then running along the centerline of Canal Street  to  the
intersection  of the Bowery and Canal Street, running thence in a south-
easterly direction diagonally across  Manhattan  Bridge  Plaza,  to  the
Manhattan Bridge and thence along the centerline of the Manhattan Bridge
to  the  point where the centerline of the Manhattan Bridge would inter-
sect with the easterly bank of the East River, and bounded on the  north
by  a  line  running  from the intersection of the Hudson River with the
Holland Tunnel and running thence north along West Avenue to the  inter-
section  of  Clarkson  Street  then running east along the centerline of
Clarkson Street to the intersection of Washington Avenue,  then  running
south  along  the centerline of Washington Avenue to the intersection of
West Houston Street, then east along  the  centerline  of  West  Houston
Street,  then at the intersection of the Avenue of the Americas continu-
ing east along the centerline of East Houston  Street  to  the  easterly
bank of the East River.

THE  THRIFT  INSTITUTIONS  OR  QUALIFIED COMMUNITY BANKS INCLUDED IN THE
COMBINED REPORT AND THE DENOMINATOR OF WHICH IS THE AVERAGE TOTAL ASSETS
OF ALL THE CORPORATIONS INCLUDED IN THE COMBINED REPORT.
  (II) MEASUREMENT OF ASSETS FOR PURPOSES  OF  THIS  CLAUSE.  (I)  TOTAL

fied  New  York  manufacturer shall be computed at the rate of three and
one-quarter (3.25) percent of the taxpayer's  entire  net  income  base.
The  commissioner  shall  establish guidelines and criteria that specify
requirements by which a manufacturer may be classified  as  an  eligible
qualified New York manufacturer. Criteria may include but not be limited
to factors such as regional unemployment, the economic impact that manu-
facturing  has  on  the surrounding community, population decline within
the region and median income within the region in which the manufacturer
is located. In establishing these guidelines and criteria,  the  commis-
sioner  shall  endeavor  that  the  total annual cost of the lower rates
shall not exceed twenty-five million dollars.]
  For a qualified New  York  manufacturer,  as  defined  in  subdivision
fifteen  of  section  two hundred eight of this article, a qualified New
York agricultural business, as defined in  clause  (C)  of  subparagraph
(ii)  of paragraph (b) of subdivision [twelve] ONE of [this] section TWO
HUNDRED TEN-B OF THIS ARTICLE, and a qualified New York mining business,
as defined in clause (D) of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of subdi-
vision [twelve] ONE of [this] section TWO HUNDRED TEN-B OF THIS ARTICLE,
the rate at which the tax is computed in effect for taxable years begin-
ning on or after January first, two thousand thirteen and before January
first, two thousand fourteen for qualified New York manufacturers  shall
be  reduced  by nine and two-tenths percent for taxable years commencing
on or after January first, two  thousand  fourteen  and  before  January
first, two thousand fifteen, twelve and three-tenths percent for taxable
years  commencing  on  or  after January first, two thousand fifteen and
before January first, two  thousand  sixteen,  fifteen  and  four-tenths
percent  for  taxable  years  commencing  on or after January first, two
thousand sixteen and before January first, two  thousand  eighteen,  and
twenty-five  percent  for  taxable  years  beginning on or after January
first, two thousand eighteen.
  (vii) For [a qualified] AN UPSTATE New York manufacturer [that has  an
apportionment  factor  for  purposes  of the metropolitan transportation
business tax surcharge computed pursuant to subdivision two  of  section
two  hundred nine-B of this article equal to zero for the taxable year],
the amount prescribed by this paragraph for taxable years  beginning  on
or  after  January first, two thousand fourteen shall be computed at the
rate of zero percent of the taxpayer's  entire  net  income  base.    AN
UPSTATE  NEW YORK MANUFACTURER IS A QUALIFIED NEW YORK MANUFACTURER THAT
DOES NOT OWN OR LEASE ANY TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY OR REAL PROPERTY IN
THE METROPOLITAN COMMUTER TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT AND DOES NOT  PAY  ANY
WAGES,  SALARIES  OR  OTHER  PERSONAL  SERVICE  COMPENSATION WITHIN SUCH

  (VIII) (A) IN COMPUTING THE BUSINESS INCOME BASE, TAXPAYERS  SHALL  BE
ALLOWED  BOTH  A  PRIOR  NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION UNDER
THIS SUBPARAGRAPH AND A NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION UNDER  SUBPARAGRAPH
(IX)  OF  THIS  PARAGRAPH.  THE  PRIOR  NET  OPERATING  LOSS  CONVERSION
SUBTRACTION COMPUTED UNDER THIS SUBPARAGRAPH SHALL  BE  APPLIED  AGAINST
THE  BUSINESS  INCOME  BASE  BEFORE  THE  NET  OPERATING  LOSS DEDUCTION
COMPUTED UNDER SUBPARAGRAPH (IX) OF THIS PARAGRAPH.

  (I) "BASE YEAR" MEANS THE LAST TAXABLE  YEAR  BEGINNING  ON  OR  AFTER
JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN AND BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOU-
SAND FIFTEEN.
  (II)  "UNABSORBED  NET OPERATING LOSS" MEANS THE UNABSORBED PORTION OF
NET OPERATING LOSS AS CALCULATED UNDER PARAGRAPH (F) OF SUBDIVISION NINE
OF SECTION TWO HUNDRED EIGHT OF THIS  ARTICLE  OR  SUBSECTION  (K-1)  OF
SECTION  FOURTEEN  HUNDRED  FIFTY-THREE OF THIS CHAPTER AS SUCH SECTIONS
WERE IN EFFECT ON DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN, THAT WAS
NOT DEDUCTIBLE IN PREVIOUS TAXABLE YEARS AND WAS ELIGIBLE FOR  CARRYOVER
ON  THE  LAST  DAY  OF  THE  BASE YEAR, INCLUDING ANY NET OPERATING LOSS
SUSTAINED BY THE TAXPAYER DURING THE BASE YEAR.
  (III)  "BASE  YEAR  BAP"  MEANS  THE  TAXPAYER'S  BUSINESS  ALLOCATION
PERCENTAGE  AS  CALCULATED  UNDER  PARAGRAPH (A) OF SUBDIVISION THREE OF
SECTION TWO HUNDRED TEN OF THIS  ARTICLE  FOR  THE  BASE  YEAR,  OR  THE
TAXPAYER'S  ALLOCATION  PERCENTAGE  AS CALCULATED UNDER SECTION FOURTEEN
HUNDRED FIFTY-FOUR OF THIS CHAPTER FOR PURPOSES  OF  CALCULATING  ENTIRE
NET  INCOME FOR THE BASE YEAR, AS SUCH SECTIONS WERE IN EFFECT ON DECEM-
BER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN.
  (IV) "BASE YEAR TAX RATE" MEANS THE TAXPAYER'S TAX RATE FOR  THE  BASE
YEAR  AS  CALCULATED  UNDER  THIS PARAGRAPH OR SUBSECTION (A) OF SECTION
FOURTEEN HUNDRED FIFTY-FIVE OF THIS CHAPTER, AS SUCH PROVISIONS WERE  IN
EFFECT ON DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN.
  (2)  THE  PRIOR  NET  OPERATING  LOSS  CONVERSION SUBTRACTION SHALL BE
CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS:
  (I) THE TAXPAYER SHALL FIRST CALCULATE THE TAX VALUE OF ITS UNABSORBED
NET OPERATING LOSS FOR THE BASE YEAR. THE VALUE IS EQUAL TO THE  PRODUCT
OF  (I) THE AMOUNT OF THE TAXPAYER'S UNABSORBED NET OPERATING LOSS, (II)
THE TAXPAYER'S BASE YEAR BAP, AND (III) THE  TAXPAYER'S  BASE  YEAR  TAX
RATE.
  (II)  THE  PRODUCT  DETERMINED  UNDER ITEM I OF THIS SUBCLAUSE IS THEN
DIVIDED BY SIX AND ONE-HALF PERCENT, OR IN THE CASE OF A  QUALIFIED  NEW
YORK  MANUFACTURER,  FIVE  AND  SEVEN  TENTHS PERCENT. THIS RESULT SHALL
EQUAL THE TAXPAYER'S PRIOR NET  OPERATING  LOSS  CONVERSION  SUBTRACTION
POOL.
  (III)  THE  TAXPAYER'S PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION
FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR SHALL EQUAL ONE TENTH OF  ITS  NET  OPERATING  LOSS
CONVERSION  SUBTRACTION POOL PLUS ANY AMOUNT OF UNUSED PRIOR NET OPERAT-
ING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION FROM PRECEDING TAXABLE YEARS.  PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, THE PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION OF A  SMALL
BUSINESS  CORPORATION,  AS DEFINED IN PARAGRAPH (F) OF THIS SUBDIVISION,
AS OF THE LAST DAY OF THE BASE YEAR, SHALL NOT BE  SUBJECT  TO  THE  ONE
TENTH LIMITATION IN THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE.

SECTION  FOURTEEN  HUNDRED  SIXTY-TWO  OF THIS CHAPTER, AS SUCH SECTIONS
WERE IN EFFECT ON DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN, AND  THE
MEMBERS  OF  THE  COMBINED  GROUP  FOR THE BASE YEAR ARE THE SAME AS THE
MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR IMMEDIATELY  SUCCEED-
ING  THE  BASE  YEAR,  THE  COMBINED GROUP SHALL CALCULATE ITS PRIOR NET
OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION POOL USING  THE  COMBINED  GROUP'S
TOTAL  UNABSORBED  NET  OPERATING LOSS, BASE YEAR BAP, AND BASE YEAR TAX
RATE.
  (II) IF A COMBINED GROUP INCLUDES ADDITIONAL MEMBERS  IN  THE  TAXABLE
YEAR  IMMEDIATELY SUCCEEDING THE BASE YEAR THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE
COMBINED GROUP DURING THE BASE YEAR, EACH BASE YEAR COMBINED  GROUP  AND

S. 6359--B                         48                         A. 8559--B

EACH  TAXPAYER THAT FILED SEPARATELY IN THE BASE YEAR BUT IS INCLUDED IN
THE COMBINED GROUP IN THE TAXABLE YEAR SUCCEEDING THE  BASE  YEAR  SHALL
CALCULATE  ITS PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION POOL, AND
THE  SUM  OF  THE  POOLS  SHALL BE THE COMBINED PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS
CONVERSION SUBTRACTION POOL OF THE COMBINED GROUP.
  (III) IF A TAXPAYER WAS PROPERLY INCLUDED IN A COMBINED REPORT FOR THE
BASE YEAR AND FILES A SEPARATE REPORT IN A SUBSEQUENT TAXABLE YEAR, THEN
THE AMOUNT OF REMAINING PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION  SUBTRACTION
ALLOWED  TO  THE  TAXPAYER  FILING SUCH SEPARATE REPORT SHALL BE PROPOR-
TIONATE TO THE AMOUNT THAT SUCH TAXPAYER CONTRIBUTED TO  THE  PRIOR  NET
OPERATING  LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION POOL ON A COMBINED BASIS, AND THE
REMAINING PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION ALLOWED TO THE
REMAINING MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP SHALL BE REDUCED ACCORDINGLY.
  (4) THE PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION MAY BE USED TO
REDUCE THE TAXPAYER'S TAX ON ALLOCATED BUSINESS INCOME TO THE HIGHER  OF
THE  TAX  ON THE CAPITAL BASE UNDER PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SUBDIVISION OR
THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM UNDER PARAGRAPH (D) OF  THIS  SUBDIVISION.  ANY
AMOUNT  OF UNUSED SUBTRACTION SHALL BE CARRIED FORWARD TO SUBSEQUENT TAX
YEAR OR YEARS UNTIL TAX YEARS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANUARY  FIRST,  TWO
THOUSAND  THIRTY-SIX,  AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE ONE TENTH LIMITA-
TION IN THE SUBSEQUENT TAX YEAR OR YEARS.
  (IX) NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION.  IN COMPUTING THE  BUSINESS  INCOME
BASE,  A  NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION SHALL BE ALLOWED. A NET OPERATING
LOSS DEDUCTION IS THE AMOUNT OF NET OPERATING LOSS OR LOSSES FROM ONE OR
MORE TAXABLE YEARS THAT ARE CARRIED FORWARD TO A PARTICULAR INCOME YEAR.
A NET OPERATING LOSS IS THE AMOUNT OF A  BUSINESS  LOSS  INCURRED  IN  A
PARTICULAR TAX YEAR MULTIPLIED BY THE APPORTIONMENT FACTOR FOR THAT YEAR
AS DETERMINED UNDER SECTION TWO HUNDRED TEN-A OF THIS ARTICLE. THE MAXI-
MUM  NET  OPERATING  DEDUCTION  THAT IS ALLOWED IN A TAXABLE YEAR IS THE
AMOUNT THAT REDUCES THE TAXPAYER'S TAX ON ALLOCATED BUSINESS  INCOME  TO
THE  HIGHER  OF THE TAX ON THE CAPITAL BASE OR THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM.
SUCH DEDUCTION AND LOSS ARE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING:
  (1) SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION IS NOT  LIMITED  TO  THE  AMOUNT
ALLOWED  UNDER  SECTION  ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-TWO OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE
CODE OR THE AMOUNT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED IF THE TAXPAYER HAD  NOT
MADE  AN  ELECTION  UNDER  SUBCHAPTER  S  OF CHAPTER ONE OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE.
  (2) SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY NET  OPER-
ATING  LOSS  INCURRED DURING ANY TAXABLE YEAR BEGINNING PRIOR TO JANUARY
FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN, OR DURING ANY TAXABLE  YEAR  IN  WHICH  THE
TAXPAYER WAS NOT SUBJECT TO THE TAX IMPOSED BY THIS ARTICLE.
  (3) A TAXPAYER THAT FILES AS PART OF A FEDERAL CONSOLIDATED RETURN BUT
ON  A  SEPARATE  BASIS  FOR  PURPOSES  OF  THIS ARTICLE MUST COMPUTE ITS
DEDUCTION AND LOSS AS IF IT WERE FILING ON A SEPARATE BASIS FOR  FEDERAL
INCOME TAX PURPOSES.
  (4) A NET OPERATING LOSS MUST BE CARRIED FORWARD TO EACH OF THE TWENTY
TAXABLE  YEARS  FOLLOWING  THE TAXABLE YEAR OF THE LOSS. NO CARRYBACK OF
THE NET OPERATING LOSS IS ALLOWED. A TAXPAYER MUST APPLY BOTH  OF  THESE
LIMITATIONS IN COMPUTING SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION.
  (5)  SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY NET OPER-
ATING LOSS INCURRED DURING A NEW YORK S YEAR; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,  A  NEW
YORK  S YEAR MUST BE TREATED AS A TAXABLE YEAR FOR PURPOSES OF DETERMIN-
ING THE NUMBER OF TAXABLE YEARS TO WHICH A NET  OPERATING  LOSS  MAY  BE
CARRIED FORWARD.
  (6)  WHERE  THERE  ARE  TWO OR MORE ALLOCATED NET OPERATING LOSSES, OR
PORTIONS THEREOF, CARRIED FORWARD TO BE DEDUCTED IN ONE  PARTICULAR  TAX

S. 6359--B                         49                         A. 8559--B

YEAR  FROM  ALLOCATED  BUSINESS  INCOME,  THE  EARLIEST  ALLOCATED  LOSS
INCURRED MUST BE APPLIED FIRST.
  (b)  Capital  base.  (1)  The [amount prescribed by this paragraph for
taxable years beginning before January first, two thousand  eight  shall
be  computed  at .178  percent  for  each dollar of the taxpayer's total
business and investment capital, or the portion thereof allocated within
the state as hereinafter provided. For taxable  years  beginning  on  or
after  January first, two thousand eight, the] amount prescribed by this
paragraph shall be computed  at .15  percent  for  each  dollar  of  the
taxpayer's total business [and investment] capital, or the portion ther-
eof  allocated within the state as hereinafter provided. However, in the
case of a cooperative housing corporation as  defined  in  the  internal
revenue  code,  the  applicable  rate shall be .04 percent.  In no event
shall the amount prescribed by this paragraph exceed three hundred fifty
thousand dollars for qualified New York manufacturers and for all  other
taxpayers  [ten] FIVE million dollars [for taxable years beginning on or
after January first, two thousand eight but before  January  first,  two
thousand  eleven  and one million dollars for taxable years beginning on
or after January first, two thousand eleven].
  (2) For a qualified New York manufacturer, as defined  in  subdivision
fifteen  of  section  two hundred eight of this article, a qualified New
York agricultural business, as defined in  clause  (C)  of  subparagraph
(ii)  of paragraph (b) of subdivision [twelve] ONE of [this] section TWO
HUNDRED TEN-B OF THIS ARTICLE, and a qualified New York mining business,

thousand fourteen and before January first, two thousand fifteen, twelve
and three-tenths percent for taxable years commencing on or after  Janu-
ary  first,  two thousand fifteen and before January first, two thousand
sixteen, fifteen and four-tenths percent for taxable years commencing on
or after January first, two thousand sixteen and before  January  first,
two  thousand eighteen, and twenty-five percent for taxable years begin-
ning on or after January first, two thousand eighteen.
  [(c) Minimum taxable income bases. (i)  For  taxable  years  beginning
after  nineteen  hundred  eighty-six and before nineteen hundred eighty-
nine, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be computed  at  the
rate  of  three  and  one-half  percent  of  the taxpayer's pre-nineteen
hundred ninety minimum taxable income base. For taxable years  beginning
in nineteen hundred eighty-nine, the amount prescribed by this paragraph
shall  be  computed  at  the rate of five percent of the taxpayer's pre-
nineteen hundred ninety minimum taxable income base. A "taxpayer's  pre-
nineteen  hundred  ninety  minimum  taxable  income base" shall mean the
portion of the taxpayer's entire net income allocated within  the  state
as  hereinafter  provided, subject to any modification required by para-
graphs (d) and (e) of subdivision three of this section;
  (ii) (A) For taxable years beginning on or after  January  first,  two
thousand  seven,  the  amount  prescribed  by  this  paragraph  shall be
computed at the rate of one and one-half percent of the taxpayer's mini-
mum taxable income base. The "taxpayer's minimum  taxable  income  base"
shall  mean  the  portion of the taxpayer's minimum taxable income allo-
cated within the state as hereinafter provided, subject to any modifica-

tions required by paragraphs (d) and (e) of subdivision  three  of  this
section.
  (B)  For  taxable years beginning on or after January first, two thou-
sand twelve and before January first, two thousand fifteen,  the  amount
prescribed by this paragraph for an eligible qualified New York manufac-
turer  shall  be  computed  at the rate of seventy-five hundredths (.75)
percent of the taxpayer's minimum taxable income base. For  purposes  of
this  clause,  the term "eligible qualified New York manufacturer" shall
have the same meaning as in subparagraph (vi) of paragraph (a)  of  this
subdivision.
  (iii)  For  a  qualified New York manufacturer, as defined in subpara-
graph (vi) of paragraph (a) of this subdivision, a  qualified  New  York
agricultural  business, as defined in clause (C) of subparagraph (ii) of
paragraph (b) of subdivision twelve of this section, and a qualified New
York mining business, as defined in clause (D) of subparagraph  (ii)  of
paragraph  (b)  of subdivision twelve of this section, the rate at which
the tax is computed in effect for taxable years beginning  on  or  after
January first, two thousand thirteen and before January first, two thou-
sand  fourteen  for qualified New York manufacturers shall be reduced by
nine and two-tenths percent for taxable years  commencing  on  or  after
January first, two thousand fourteen and before January first, two thou-
sand fifteen, twelve and three-tenths percent for taxable years commenc-
ing  on  or after January first, two thousand fifteen and before January

teen.]
  (d) Fixed dollar minimum. (1) The [amount prescribed by this paragraph
shall be for a taxpayer which during the taxable year has:
  (A) a gross payroll of six million two hundred fifty thousand  dollars
or more, one thousand five hundred dollars;

dollars;
  (C) a gross payroll of no more than one million dollars but more  than
five hundred thousand dollars, three hundred twenty-five dollars;
  (D)  a gross payroll of no more than five hundred thousand dollars but

  (A)  gross  payroll shall be the same as the total wages, salaries and
other personal service compensation of  all  the  taxpayer's  employees,
within and without this state, as defined in subparagraph three of para-
graph  (a)  of  subdivision  three  of this section, except that general
executive officers shall not be excluded.

S. 6359--B                         51                         A. 8559--B

  (C) average value of the assets shall be the  same  as  prescribed  by
subdivision two of this section without reduction for liabilities.
  (3)  If  the  taxable  year  is  less  than  twelve months, the amount
prescribed by this paragraph shall be reduced by twenty-five percent  if
the  period  for  which  the taxpayer is subject to tax is more than six
months but not more than nine months and by fifty percent if the  period
for  which  the  taxpayer is subject to tax is not more than six months.
Provided, however, that in determining the amount of gross  payroll  and
total receipts for purposes of subparagraph one of this paragraph, where
the taxable year is less than twelve months, the amount of each shall be
determined  by  dividing  the amount of each with respect to the taxable
year by the number of months in such taxable year  and  multiplying  the
result  by  twelve.  If the taxable year is less than twelve months, the
amount of New York receipts for purposes of subparagraph  four  of  this
paragraph  is  determined by dividing the amount of the receipts for the
taxable year by the number of months in the taxable year and multiplying
the result by twelve.
  (4) Notwithstanding subparagraphs one and two of this  paragraph,  for
taxable  years  beginning on or after January first, two thousand eight,
the] amount prescribed by this paragraph for  New  York  S  corporations

eighty-six  of this chapter (but only to the extent such indebtedness is
included in subsidiary capital), and (ii) investments in the  stock  of,
and  any  indebtedness  from,  subsidiaries subject to tax under article

er" pursuant to this subdivision; AND (IV) WHICH HAS AN  AVERAGE  NUMBER
OF INDIVIDUALS, EXCLUDING GENERAL EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, EMPLOYED FULL-TIME
IN  THE  STATE  DURING THE TAXABLE YEAR OF ONE HUNDRED OR FEWER.  If the
taxable period to which subparagraph (i) of this  paragraph  applies  is
less than twelve months, entire net income under such subparagraph shall
be  placed  on  an  annual basis by multiplying the entire net income by
twelve and dividing the result by the number of months  in  the  period.

ASCERTAINED ON EACH OF SUCH DATES AND DIVIDING THE SUM  SO  OBTAINED  BY
THE  NUMBER  OF  SUCH  DATES OCCURRING WITHIN SUCH TAXABLE YEAR OR OTHER
APPLICABLE PERIOD. AN INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYED FULL-TIME MEANS AN EMPLOYEE IN
A JOB CONSISTING OF AT LEAST THIRTY-FIVE HOURS PER WEEK, OR TWO OR  MORE

prescribed  by this paragraph shall be the amount prescribed in subpara-
graph one of that paragraph (d) (applying the provisions of subparagraph
three of that paragraph as necessary) and applying  the  calculation  of
that  amount  in the case of a termination year as set forth in subpara-
graph four of this paragraph as necessary. In taxable years beginning in
two thousand eight and thereafter, the amount prescribed by  this  para-
graph  is]  the amount prescribed in subparagraph four of that paragraph
(d) [(applying the provisions of subparagraph three of that paragraph as
necessary)] and applying the calculation of that amount in the case of a

sleeping car business) or a trucking business are included in the numer-
ator of the apportionment fraction as follows. The  amount  of  receipts
from  the conduct of a railroad business or a trucking business included
in the numerator of the apportionment fraction is determined  by  multi-
plying  the  amount  of  receipts  from such business by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the miles in such business within the state during
the period covered by the taxpayer's report and the denominator of which
is the miles in such business within and without the state  during  such

fraction  as  follows:  one hundred percent of such receipts if both the
pickup and delivery associated with such receipts are made in the  state
and  fifty  percent  of  such  receipts if either the pickup or delivery
associated with such receipts is made in this  state.    Such  receipts,
whether the pickup or delivery associated with the receipts is within or
without  the  state,  shall be included in the denominator of the appor-
tionment fraction.
  (b) Other aviation services. (1)(A)  The  portion  of  receipts  of  a
taxpayer  from aviation services (other than services described in para-
graph (a) of this subdivision) to be included in the  numerator  of  the
apportionment  fraction  shall be determined by multiplying its receipts
from such aviation services by a percentage which is equal to the arith-
metic average of the following three percentages:
  (i) the  percentage  determined  by  dividing  sixty  percent  of  the
aircraft  arrivals  and  departures  within  this  state by the taxpayer
during the period covered by its report by the total  aircraft  arrivals
and  departures  within  and  without  this  state  during  such period;
provided, however, arrivals and departures  solely  for  maintenance  or
repair,  refueling  (where  no  debarkation  or  embarkation  of traffic
occurs), arrivals and departures of ferry and personnel training flights
or arrivals and departures in the event of  emergency  situations  shall
not  be  included  in  computing  such arrival and departure percentage;

provided, further, the commissioner may also exempt from such percentage
aircraft arrivals and departures of all  non-revenue  flights  including
flights  involving the transportation of officers or employees receiving
air  transportation  to  perform maintenance or repair services or where
such officers or employees are transported in conjunction with an  emer-
gency situation or the investigation of an air disaster (other than on a
scheduled  flight);  provided,  however, that arrivals and departures of
flights transporting officers and employees receiving air transportation
for purposes other than specified above (without regard to remuneration)
shall be included in computing such arrival and departure percentage;
  (ii) the percentage determined by dividing sixty percent of the reven-
ue tons handled by the taxpayer at airports  within  this  state  during
such  period  by the total revenue tons handled by it at airports within
and without this state during such period; and
  (iii) the percentage determined  by  dividing  sixty  percent  of  the
taxpayer's  originating revenue within this state for such period by its
total originating revenue within and without this state for such period.
  (B) As used herein the term "aircraft arrivals and  departures"  means
the  number of landings and takeoffs of the aircraft of the taxpayer and
the number of air pickups and deliveries by the aircraft of such taxpay-
er; the term "originating revenue" means revenue to  the  taxpayer  from
the  transportation  or  revenue  passengers  and revenue property first
received by the taxpayer either as originating or connecting traffic  at
airports;  and  the  term  "revenue  tons  handled"  by  the taxpayer at
airports means the weight in tons of revenue passengers (at two  hundred
pounds  per passenger) and revenue cargo first received either as origi-
nating or connecting traffic or finally discharged by  the  taxpayer  at
airports;

in this paragraph are included in the denominator of  the  apportionment
fraction.
  8. Receipts from sales of advertising. (a) The amount of receipts from
sales of advertising in newspapers or periodicals included in the numer-
ator  of  the  apportionment  fraction  is determined by multiplying the
total of such receipts by a fraction, the  numerator  of  which  is  the
number  of  newspapers  and  periodicals  delivered to points within the
state and the denominator of which is the number of newspapers and peri-
odicals delivered to points within and without the state. The  total  of
such  receipts from sales of advertising in newspapers or periodicals is
included in the denominator of the apportionment fraction.
  (b) The amount of receipts from sales of advertising on television  or
radio  included in the apportionment fraction is determined by multiply-
ing the total of such receipts by a fraction, the numerator of which  is
the  number of viewers or listeners within the state and the denominator
of which is the number of viewers or listeners within  and  without  the
state.  The  total  of  such receipts from sales of advertising on tele-
vision and radio is included in the  denominator  of  the  apportionment
fraction.

paragraph (a) or (b) of this subdivision that is furnished, provided  or
delivered  to,  or accessed by the viewer or listener through the use of
wire, cable, fiber-optic, laser, microwave,  radio  wave,  satellite  or
similar  successor  media  or  any  combination thereof, included in the
numerator of the apportionment fraction is determined by multiplying the
total of such receipts by a fraction, the  numerator  of  which  is  the
number  of  viewers or listeners within the state and the denominator of

S. 6359--B                         68                         A. 8559--B

which is the number of viewers  or  listeners  within  and  without  the
state. The total of such receipts from sales of advertising described in
this paragraph is included in the denominator of the apportionment frac-
tion.
  9.  Receipts from transportation or transmission of gas through pipes.
Receipts from the transportation or transmission of  gas  through  pipes
are  included in the numerator of the apportionment fraction as follows.
The amount of receipts from the transportation or  transmission  of  gas
through pipes included in the numerator of the apportionment fraction is
determined  by  multiplying the total amount of such receipts by a frac-
tion, the numerator of which  is  the  taxpayer's  transportation  units
within  the  state and the denominator of which is the taxpayer's trans-
portation units within and without the state. A transportation  unit  is
the transportation of one cubic foot of gas over a distance of one mile.
The  total amount of receipts from the transportation or transmission of
gas through pipes is included in the denominator  of  the  apportionment
fraction.

PERCENTAGE OF THE TAXPAYER'S RECEIPTS WITHIN THE STATE  IN  THE  CURRENT
TAXABLE YEAR DETERMINED PURSUANT TO THIS SUBDIVISION.
  11.  IF  IT  SHALL  APPEAR  TO THE COMMISSIONER THAT THE APPORTIONMENT
FRACTION DETERMINED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION DOES NOT RESULT IN A PROPER
REFLECTION OF THE TAXPAYER'S  BUSINESS  INCOME  OR  CAPITAL  WITHIN  THE
STATE, THE COMMISSIONER IS AUTHORIZED IN HIS OR HER DISCRETION TO ADJUST

THE  MONTHS  OF  QUALIFIED  USE BEAR TO THIRTY-SIX. IF PROPERTY ON WHICH
CREDIT HAS BEEN TAKEN IS DISPOSED OF OR CEASES TO BE  IN  QUALIFIED  USE
PRIOR TO THE END OF THIRTY-SIX MONTHS, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CREDIT
TAKEN  AND  THE  CREDIT ALLOWED FOR ACTUAL USE MUST BE ADDED BACK IN THE
YEAR OF DISPOSITION. THE AMOUNT OF CREDIT ALLOWED FOR ACTUAL  USE  SHALL
BE  DETERMINED BY MULTIPLYING THE ORIGINAL CREDIT BY THE RATIO WHICH THE
MONTHS OF QUALIFIED USE BEAR TO THIRTY-SIX.
  (III) EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THAT PROPERTY TO WHICH PARAGRAPH (IV)  OF
THIS  SUBDIVISION  APPLIES,  WITH  RESPECT  TO  PROPERTY  SUBJECT TO THE

WHICH  THE  MONTHS OF QUALIFIED USE BEAR TO SIXTY.  IF PROPERTY ON WHICH
CREDIT HAS BEEN TAKEN IS DISPOSED OF OR CEASES TO BE  IN  QUALIFIED  USE
PRIOR  TO  THE  END  OF  SIXTY MONTHS, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CREDIT
TAKEN AND THE CREDIT ALLOWED FOR ACTUAL USE MUST BE ADDED  BACK  IN  THE
YEAR  OF  DISPOSITION. THE AMOUNT OF CREDIT ALLOWED FOR ACTUAL USE SHALL

STRUCTURAL COMPONENT OF A BUILDING AND WHICH IS DISPOSED OF OR CEASES TO
BE  IN  QUALIFIED  USE PRIOR TO THE END OF THE TAXABLE YEAR IN WHICH THE
CREDIT IS TO BE TAKEN, THE AMOUNT OF THE CREDIT SHALL BE THAT PORTION OF
THE CREDIT PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SUBDIVISION WHICH REPRESENTS  THE  RATIO
WHICH  THE  MONTHS  OF  QUALIFIED USE BEAR TO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MONTHS
OVER WHICH THE TAXPAYER CHOOSES TO DEDUCT THE PROPERTY UNDER THE  INTER-
NAL REVENUE CODE. IF PROPERTY ON WHICH CREDIT HAS BEEN TAKEN IS DISPOSED

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, IF SUCH PROPERTY IS DISPOSED OF OR CEASES  TO  BE  IN
QUALIFIED  USE  AFTER  IT HAS BEEN IN QUALIFIED USE FOR MORE THAN TWELVE
CONSECUTIVE YEARS, IT SHALL NOT BE NECESSARY TO ADD BACK THE  CREDIT  AS
PROVIDED  IN  THIS SUBPARAGRAPH. THE AMOUNT OF CREDIT ALLOWED FOR ACTUAL
USE SHALL BE DETERMINED BY MULTIPLYING THE ORIGINAL CREDIT BY THE  RATIO

UNDER  THIS  SUBDIVISION  WAS LIMITED BASED ON ATTRIBUTABLE NONQUALIFIED
NONRECOURSE FINANCING, THEN AN AMOUNT EQUAL  TO  THE  DECREASE  IN  SUCH
CREDIT  WHICH  WOULD  HAVE RESULTED FROM REDUCING, BY THE AMOUNT OF SUCH
NET INCREASE, THE COST OR OTHER BASIS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WITH RESPECT TO
SUCH PROPERTY MUST BE ADDED BACK IN SUCH TAXABLE  YEAR.  THE  AMOUNT  OF
NONQUALIFIED  NONRECOURSE FINANCING SHALL NOT BE TREATED AS INCREASED BY
REASON OF A TRANSFER OF (OR AGREEMENT TO TRANSFER) ANY  EVIDENCE  OF  AN
INDEBTEDNESS IF SUCH TRANSFER OCCURS (OR SUCH AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO)
MORE THAN ONE YEAR AFTER THE DATE SUCH INDEBTEDNESS WAS INCURRED.
  (VIII)(A) WHERE PROPERTY WITH RESPECT TO WHICH CREDIT HAS BEEN ALLOWED
UNDER  THIS  SUBDIVISION IS DISPOSED OF BY TRANSFER TO THE TAXPAYER IN A
QUALIFIED TRANSACTION, AND SUCH DISPOSITION REQUIRES, PURSUANT  TO  THIS
PARAGRAPH  (WITHOUT  REGARD  TO  THIS  SUBPARAGRAPH) THAT SUCH CREDIT BE
DECREASED (WHERE THE DISPOSITION OCCURS IN THE TAXABLE YEAR IN WHICH THE
PROPERTY IS PLACED IN SERVICE BY THE TRANSFEROR) OR THAT  A  PORTION  OF
SUCH  CREDIT  BE ADDED BACK BY THE TRANSFEROR, THEN CLAUSE (B) OR CLAUSE
(C) OF THIS SUBPARAGRAPH SHALL APPLY.
  (B) IF THE TAXPAYER AND THE TRANSFEROR JOINTLY ELECT, AT SUCH TIME AND
IN SUCH MANNER AS THE COMMISSIONER MAY PRESCRIBE,  THE  FOLLOWING  SHALL
APPLY:

CREDIT  ALLOWED  TO  THE  TRANSFEROR  WITH  RESPECT TO SUCH PROPERTY HAD
ORIGINALLY BEEN ALLOWED TO THE TAXPAYER BOTH AS TO AMOUNT AND FIRST DATE
OF  QUALIFIED USE, AND AS IF THE PERIOD OF QUALIFIED USE BY THE TRANSFE-

ER  BOTH  AS  TO  AMOUNT  AND FIRST DATE OF QUALIFIED USE, AND AS IF THE
PERIOD OF QUALIFIED USE BY THE TRANSFEROR PRIOR TO THE TRANSFER HAD BEEN
A PERIOD OF SUCH USE BY THE TAXPAYER. ANY AMOUNT OF  CREDIT  TREATED  AS

COMBINED GROUP AS DETERMINED UNDER SUBDIVISION SEVEN OF THIS SECTION.
  3. COMMONLY OWNED GROUP ELECTION. (A) SUBJECT  TO  THE  PROVISIONS  OF
PARAGRAPH  (C)  OF SUBDIVISION TWO OF THIS SECTION, A TAXPAYER MAY ELECT
TO TREAT AS ITS COMBINED GROUP ALL CORPORATIONS THAT MEET THE  OWNERSHIP
REQUIREMENTS  DESCRIBED  IN  PARAGRAPH  (A)  OF  SUBDIVISION TWO OF THIS
SECTION (SUCH CORPORATIONS COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO IN THIS  SUBDIVISION
AS  THE  "COMMONLY OWNED GROUP"). IF THAT ELECTION IS MADE, THE COMMONLY
OWNED GROUP SHALL CALCULATE THE COMBINED BUSINESS INCOME, COMBINED CAPI-
TAL, AND FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM BASES OF  ALL  MEMBERS  OF  THE  GROUP  IN
ACCORDANCE  WITH PARAGRAPH FOUR OF THIS SUBDIVISION, WHETHER OR NOT THAT
BUSINESS INCOME OR BUSINESS CAPITAL IS FROM A SINGLE UNITARY BUSINESS.
  (B) THE ELECTION UNDER THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL BE MADE ON AN  ORIGINAL,
TIMELY  FILED  RETURN  OF THE COMBINED GROUP. ANY CORPORATION ENTERING A
COMMONLY OWNED GROUP  SUBSEQUENT  TO  THE  YEAR  OF  ELECTION  SHALL  BE

OBJECTION TO ITS INCLUSION IN THE COMBINED GROUP.
  (C) THE ELECTION SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE, AND BINDING FOR AND  APPLICABLE
TO  THE  TAXABLE  YEAR FOR WHICH IT IS MADE AND FOR THE NEXT SIX TAXABLE
YEARS. THE ELECTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY  BE  RENEWED  FOR  ANOTHER  SEVEN
TAXABLE YEARS AFTER IT HAS BEEN IN EFFECT FOR SEVEN TAXABLE YEARS UNLESS
IT  IS  AFFIRMATIVELY  REVOKED.  THE  REVOCATION  SHALL  BE  MADE  ON AN
ORIGINAL, TIMELY FILED RETURN FOR  THE  FIRST  TAXABLE  YEAR  AFTER  THE
COMPLETION  OF  A  SEVEN  YEAR  PERIOD  FOR WHICH AN ELECTION UNDER THIS
SUBDIVISION WAS IN PLACE. IN THE CASE OF A REVOCATION,  A  NEW  ELECTION
UNDER  THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL NOT BE PERMITTED IN ANY OF THE IMMEDIATELY
FOLLOWING THREE TAXABLE YEARS. IN DETERMINING THE SEVEN AND  THREE  YEAR
PERIODS  DESCRIBED  IN  THIS PARAGRAPH, SHORT TAXABLE YEARS SHALL NOT BE
CONSIDERED OR COUNTED.
  4. COMPUTATION OF TAX BASES ON A COMBINED REPORT. (A) IN COMPUTING THE
TAX BASES FOR A COMBINED REPORT, THE COMBINED GROUP SHALL  GENERALLY  BE
TREATED  AS  A  SINGLE  CORPORATION,  EXCEPT  AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED, AND
SUBJECT TO ANY REGULATIONS OR GUIDANCE ISSUED BY THE COMMISSIONER OR THE
DEPARTMENT.
  (B)(I) IN COMPUTING COMBINED BUSINESS INCOME, ALL INTERCORPORATE DIVI-
DENDS SHALL BE ELIMINATED, AND  ALL  OTHER  INTERCORPORATE  TRANSACTIONS
SHALL  BE  DEFERRED  IN  A  MANNER SIMILAR TO THE UNITED STATES TREASURY
REGULATIONS RELATING TO INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS UNDER SECTION  FIFTEEN
HUNDRED TWO OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.
  (II)  IN COMPUTING COMBINED CAPITAL, ALL INTERCORPORATE STOCKHOLDINGS,
INTERCORPORATE  BILLS,  INTERCORPORATE  NOTES  RECEIVABLE  AND  PAYABLE,
INTERCORPORATE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND PAYABLE, AND OTHER INTERCORPORATE
INDEBTEDNESS, SHALL BE ELIMINATED.

S. 6359--B                         109                        A. 8559--B

  (C)  QUALIFICATION  FOR  CREDITS,  INCLUDING  ANY LIMITATIONS THEREON,
SHALL BE DETERMINED SEPARATELY FOR EACH OF THE MEMBERS OF  THE  COMBINED
GROUP,  AND SHALL NOT BE DETERMINED ON A COMBINED GROUP BASIS, EXCEPT AS
OTHERWISE PROVIDED. HOWEVER, THE CREDITS SHALL BE  APPLIED  AGAINST  THE
COMBINED TAX OF THE GROUP. TO THE EXTENT THAT A PROVISION OF SECTION TWO
HUNDRED  TEN-B OF THIS ARTICLE LIMITS A CREDIT TO THE FIXED DOLLAR MINI-
MUM AMOUNT PRESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH (D) OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION TWO
HUNDRED TEN OF THIS ARTICLE, SUCH FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM AMOUNT  SHALL  BE
THE  FIXED  DOLLAR MINIMUM AMOUNT THAT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE DESIGNATED
AGENT OF THE COMBINED GROUP.
  (D)(I) A NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION  IS  ALLOWED  IN  COMPUTING  THE
COMBINED  BUSINESS INCOME BASE. SUCH DEDUCTION MAY REDUCE THE TAX ON THE
COMBINED BUSINESS INCOME BASE TO THE HIGHER OF THE TAX ON  THE  COMBINED
CAPITAL  BASE OR THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM. A COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS
DEDUCTION IS EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS OR LOSS-
ES FROM ONE OR MORE TAXABLE YEARS THAT ARE CARRIED FORWARD TO A  PARTIC-
ULAR INCOME YEAR. A COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS IS THE COMBINED BUSINESS
LOSS  INCURRED  IN  A PARTICULAR TAXABLE YEAR MULTIPLIED BY THE COMBINED
APPORTIONMENT FACTOR FOR THAT YEAR DETERMINED AS PROVIDED IN SUBDIVISION
FIVE OF THIS SECTION.
  (II) THE COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION AND COMBINED NET  OPER-
ATING  LOSS  ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN CLAUSES ONE
THROUGH SIX OF SUBPARAGRAPH (VIII) OF PARAGRAPH (A) OF  SUBDIVISION  ONE
OF SECTION TWO HUNDRED TEN OF THIS ARTICLE.
  (III)  IN  THE  CASE  OF  A  CORPORATION THAT FILES A COMBINED REPORT,
EITHER IN THE YEAR THE NET OPERATING LOSS IS INCURRED OR IN THE YEAR  IN
WHICH  A  DEDUCTION  IS CLAIMED ON ACCOUNT OF THE LOSS, THE COMBINED NET
OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION IS DETERMINED AS IF THE  COMBINED  GROUP  IS  A
SINGLE  CORPORATION  AND  IS  SUBJECT TO THE SAME LIMITATIONS THAT WOULD
APPLY FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES UNDER THE  INTERNAL  REVENUE  CODE
AND THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS AS IF SUCH CORPORATION HAD FILED FOR
SUCH TAXABLE YEAR A CONSOLIDATED FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN WITH THE SAME
CORPORATIONS  INCLUDED  IN THE COMBINED REPORT. IF A CORPORATION FILES A
COMBINED REPORT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT FILED  A  SEPARATE  RETURN  OR
CONSOLIDATED  RETURN  FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES, THE NET OPERATING
LOSS AND NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION FOR THE  COMBINED  GROUP  MUST  BE
COMPUTED  AS  IF THE CORPORATION HAD FILED A CONSOLIDATED RETURN FOR THE
SAME CORPORATIONS FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES.
  (IV) IN GENERAL, ANY NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYOVER FROM A YEAR IN WHICH
A COMBINED REPORT WAS FILED SHALL BE BASED ON THE COMBINED NET OPERATING
LOSS OF THE GROUP OF CORPORATIONS FILING SUCH REPORT. THE PORTION OF THE
COMBINED LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY MEMBER OF THE GROUP THAT FILES A SEPA-
RATE REPORT FOR A SUCCEEDING TAXABLE YEAR WILL BE AN AMOUNT BEARING  THE
SAME  RELATION  TO  THE  COMBINED LOSS AS THE NET OPERATING LOSS OF SUCH
CORPORATION BEARS TO THE TOTAL NET OPERATING LOSS OF ALL MEMBERS OF  THE
GROUP  HAVING SUCH LOSSES TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
IN COMPUTING THE COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS.
  (E) ANY ELECTION MADE PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (B)  OF  SUBDIVISION  SIX,
AND  PARAGRAPHS  (B) AND (C) OF SUBDIVISION SIX-A OF SECTION TWO HUNDRED
EIGHT OF THIS ARTICLE SHALL APPLY TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP.
  (F)(I) IN THE CASE OF A CAPTIVE REIT OR  CAPTIVE  RIC  REQUIRED  UNDER
THIS  SECTION  TO  BE  INCLUDED  IN A COMBINED REPORT, ENTIRE NET INCOME
SHALL BE COMPUTED AS REQUIRED UNDER SUBDIVISION FIVE (IN THE CASE  OF  A
CAPTIVE  REIT)  OR  SUBDIVISION  SEVEN (IN THE CASE OF A CAPTIVE RIC) OF
SECTION TWO HUNDRED NINE OF THIS ARTICLE. HOWEVER, THE  DEDUCTION  UNDER
THE  INTERNAL  REVENUE  CODE  FOR  DIVIDENDS PAID BY THE CAPTIVE REIT OR

S. 6359--B                         110                        A. 8559--B

CAPTIVE RIC TO ANY MEMBER OF THE  AFFILIATED  GROUP  THAT  INCLUDES  THE
CORPORATION  THAT  DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OWNS OVER FIFTY PERCENT OF THE
VOTING STOCK OF THE CAPTIVE REIT OR CAPTIVE RIC SHALL  NOT  BE  ALLOWED.
FOR  PURPOSES  OF  THIS  SUBPARAGRAPH, THE TERM "AFFILIATED GROUP" MEANS
"AFFILIATED GROUP" AS DEFINED IN SECTION FIFTEEN  HUNDRED  FOUR  OF  THE
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO THE EXCEPTIONS PROVIDED FOR
IN SUBSECTION (B) OF THAT SECTION.
  (II)  IN  THE  CASE OF A COMBINABLE CAPTIVE INSURANCE COMPANY REQUIRED
UNDER THIS SECTION TO BE INCLUDED  IN  A  COMBINED  REPORT,  ENTIRE  NET
INCOME  SHALL BE COMPUTED AS REQUIRED BY SUBDIVISION NINE OF SECTION TWO
HUNDRED EIGHT OF THIS ARTICLE.
  5. APPORTIONMENT ON A COMBINED REPORT. (A) IN DETERMINING  THE  APPOR-
TIONMENT  FACTOR  FOR  A  COMBINED REPORT, THE RECEIPTS, NET INCOME, NET
GAINS AND OTHER ITEMS OF ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP,  WHETHER  OR
NOT  THEY  ARE  A  TAXPAYER,  ARE  INCLUDED AND INTERCORPORATE RECEIPTS,
INCOME AND GAINS ARE ELIMINATED. RECEIPTS, NET  INCOME,  NET  GAINS  AND
OTHER ITEMS ARE SOURCED AS PROVIDED IN SECTION TWO HUNDRED TEN-A OF THIS
ARTICLE.
  (B)  AN  ELECTION  MADE  TO APPORTION INCOME AND GAINS FROM QUALIFYING
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS PURSUANT TO SUBPARAGRAPH ONE OF PARAGRAPH  (A)  OF
SUBDIVISION  FIVE  OF  SECTION  TWO  HUNDRED TEN-A OF THIS ARTICLE SHALL
APPLY TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP.
  6. LIABILITY OF COMBINED GROUP MEMBERS. EVERY MEMBER OF  THE  COMBINED
GROUP  THAT  IS  SUBJECT  TO TAX UNDER THIS ARTICLE SHALL BE JOINTLY AND
SEVERALLY LIABLE FOR THE TAX DUE PURSUANT TO A COMBINED REPORT.
  7. DESIGNATED AGENT. EACH COMBINED GROUP  SHALL  HAVE  ONE  DESIGNATED
AGENT,  WHICH  SHALL  BE  A TAXPAYER. THE DESIGNATED AGENT IS THE PARENT
CORPORATION OF THE COMBINED GROUP. IF THERE IS  NO  SUCH  PARENT  CORPO-
RATION, OR THE PARENT CORPORATION IS NOT A TAXPAYER, THEN ANOTHER MEMBER
OF  THE COMBINED GROUP THAT IS A TAXPAYER MAY BE APPOINTED AS THE DESIG-
NATED AGENT. ONLY THE DESIGNATED AGENT MAY ACT ON BEHALF OF THE  MEMBERS
OF THE COMBINED GROUP FOR MATTERS RELATING TO THE COMBINED REPORT.
  S  19.  Subdivisions  2-a,  3,  4 and 5 of section 211 of the tax law,

  2-a.  The  [tax commission] COMMISSIONER may prescribe regulations and
instructions requiring returns of information to be made  and  filed  in
conjunction  with  the reports required to be filed pursuant to [section
two hundred eleven] THIS ARTICLE, relating to payments  made  to  share-
holders  owning,  directly  or indirectly, individually or in the aggre-
gate, more than fifty percent of the issued capital stock of the taxpay-
er, where such payments are treated  as  payments  of  interest  in  the
computation of entire net income [or minimum taxable income] reported on
such reports.

S. 6359--B                         111                        A. 8559--B

  3.  If  the  amount  of taxable income [or alternative minimum taxable
income] for any year of any taxpayer (including any taxpayer  which  has
elected  to  be  taxed under subchapter s of chapter one of the internal
revenue code), as returned to the United States treasury  department  is
changed  or  corrected  by the commissioner of internal revenue or other
officer of the United States or other competent authority,  or  where  a
renegotiation  of  a  contract  or  subcontract  with  the United States
results in a change in taxable income [or  alternative  minimum  taxable
income],  such  taxpayer  shall report such changed or corrected taxable
income [or alternative minimum taxable income], or the results  of  such
renegotiation,  within  ninety  days (or one hundred twenty days, in the
case of a taxpayer making a combined report under this article for  such
year)  after  the  final  determination  of such change or correction or
renegotiation, or as required by the commissioner, and shall concede the
accuracy of such determination or state wherein  it  is  erroneous.  The
allowance of a tentative carryback adjustment based upon a net operating
loss  carryback or net capital loss carryback pursuant to section sixty-
four hundred eleven of the internal revenue code, as amended,  shall  be
treated  as  a final determination for purposes of this subdivision. Any
taxpayer filing an amended return with such department shall  also  file
within ninety days (OR ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS, IN THE CASE OF A TAXPAY-
ER MAKING A COMBINED REPORT UNDER THIS ARTICLE FOR SUCH YEAR) thereafter
an amended report with the commissioner.
  4.  [(a)  Combined  reports permitted or required. Any taxpayer, which
owns or controls either directly or  indirectly  substantially  all  the
capital  stock  of  one or more other corporations, or substantially all
the capital stock of which is owned or  controlled  either  directly  or
indirectly  by  one or more other corporations or by interests which own
or control either directly or indirectly substantially all  the  capital
stock  of  one  or  more other corporations, (hereinafter referred to in
this paragraph as "related corporations"), shall make a combined  report
covering  any  related corporations if there are substantial intercorpo-
rate transactions among the  related  corporations,  regardless  of  the
transfer price for such intercorporate transactions. It is not necessary
that  there  be  substantial intercorporate transactions between any one
corporation and every other related corporation. It is necessary, howev-
er, that there be substantial intercorporate  transactions  between  the
taxpayer  and  a  related  corporation  or collectively, a group of such
related corporations. The report shall set forth such information as the
commissioner may require, subject to the provisions of subparagraphs one
through five of this paragraph.
  In determining whether there  are  substantial  intercorporate  trans-
actions, the commissioner shall consider and evaluate all activities and
transactions  of  the  taxpayer and its related corporations. Activities
and transactions that will be considered include, but  are  not  limited
to:  (i)  manufacturing,  acquiring  goods  or  property,  or performing
services, for related corporations; (ii)  selling  goods  acquired  from
related  corporations;  (iii)  financing  sales of related corporations;
(iv) performing related customer services using  common  facilities  and
employees for related corporations; (v) incurring expenses that benefit,
directly  or  indirectly,  one  or  more  related corporations, and (vi)
transferring assets,  including  such  assets  as  accounts  receivable,
patents or trademarks from one or more related corporations.
  (1)  Any  corporation  which owns or controls either directly or indi-
rectly substantially all the capital stock of a DISC not exempt from tax
under paragraph (i) of subdivision nine of section two hundred eight  of

S. 6359--B                         112                        A. 8559--B

this  article  shall be allowed, at the election of such corporation, to
make a report on a combined basis covering such DISC, but the failure of
such corporation to make such election shall not  prohibit  the  commis-
sioner  from  requiring  a combined report covering such corporation and
such DISC.
  (2)(i) No taxpayer may be permitted to make a  report  on  a  combined
basis  covering  any  such other corporations where such taxpayer or any
such other corporation  allocates  in  accordance  with  clause  (A)  of
subparagraph  seven of paragraph (a) of subdivision three of section two
hundred ten of this article (relating to aviation corporations) and such
taxpayer or any such other corporation does not so allocate, unless such
taxpayer or such other corporation is a qualified air freight  forwarder
with  respect  to such other corporation or such taxpayer, respectively,
and all taxpayers included on such combined report elect, by filing such
combined report,  to  have  such  qualified  air  freight  forwarder  so
included.
  (ii)  A  corporation is a qualified air freight forwarder with respect
to another corporation:
  (A) if it owns or controls either directly or indirectly  all  of  the
capital  stock of such other corporation, or if all of its capital stock
is owned or controlled either  directly  or  indirectly  by  such  other
corporation,  or  if  all  of  the capital stock of both corporations is
owned or controlled either directly or indirectly by the same interests,
  (B) if it is principally  engaged  in  the  business  of  air  freight
forwarding, and
  (C)  if  its air freight forwarding business is carried on principally
with the airline or airlines operated by such other corporation.
  (3) No taxpayer may be permitted to make a report on a combined  basis
covering  any  such  other  corporations where such taxpayer or any such
other corporation allocates in accordance  with  subparagraph  eight  of
paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision three of section two hundred ten of this
article (relating  to  railroad  and  trucking  corporations)  and  such
taxpayer or any such other corporation does not so allocate.
  (4)  Except  as  provided  in the first undesignated paragraph of this
paragraph, no combined report covering any corporation shall be required
unless the commissioner  deems  such  a  report  necessary,  because  of
inter-company transactions or some agreement, understanding, arrangement
or transaction referred to in subdivision five of this section, in order
properly to reflect the tax liability under this article.
  (5) A corporation organized under the laws of a country other than the
United  States  shall not be required or permitted to make a report on a
combined basis.
  (6) (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "closest  control-
ling stockholder" means the corporation that indirectly owns or controls
over fifty percent of the voting stock of a captive REIT or captive RIC,
is subject to tax under this article, article thirty-two or thirty-three
of  this  chapter  or  otherwise  required  to be included in a combined
return or report under this article, article thirty-two or  thirty-three
of  this  chapter,  and  is the fewest tiers of corporations away in the
ownership structure from the captive REIT or captive RIC.   The  commis-
sioner  is  authorized  to prescribe by regulation or published guidance
the criteria for determining the closest controlling stockholder.
  (ii) A captive REIT or a captive RIC must be included  in  a  combined
report  with  the  corporation that directly owns or controls over fifty
percent of the voting stock of the captive REIT or captive RIC  if  that

S. 6359--B                         113                        A. 8559--B

corporation  is  subject to tax or required to be included in a combined
report under this article.
  (iii)  If  over fifty percent of the voting stock of a captive REIT or
captive RIC is not directly owned or controlled by a corporation that is
subject to tax or required to be included in  a  combined  report  under
this article, then the captive REIT or captive RIC must be included in a
combined  return  or  report  with  the  corporation that is the closest
controlling stockholder of the captive REIT or captive RIC. If the clos-
est controlling stockholder of  the  captive  REIT  or  captive  RIC  is
subject to tax or otherwise required to be included in a combined report
under  this  article,  then  the  captive  REIT  or  captive RIC must be
included in a combined report under this article.
  (iv) If the corporation that directly  owns  or  controls  the  voting
stock  of  the  captive REIT or captive RIC is described in subparagraph
two, three or five of this paragraph as a corporation not  permitted  to
make  a  combined  report,  then  the provisions in clause (iii) of this
subparagraph must be applied  to  determine  the  corporation  in  whose
combined  return  or  report  the  captive REIT or captive RIC should be
included. If, under clause (iii) of this subparagraph,  the  corporation
that  is  the  closest  controlling  stockholder  of the captive REIT or
captive RIC is described in subparagraph two,  three  or  five  of  this
paragraph as a corporation not permitted to make a combined return, then
that  corporation  is deemed to not be in the ownership structure of the
captive REIT or captive RIC, and  the  closest  controlling  stockholder
will be determined without regard to that corporation.
  (v)  If  a  captive REIT owns the stock of a qualified REIT subsidiary
(as defined in paragraph two of subsection (i) of section eight  hundred
fifty-six of the internal revenue code), then the qualified REIT subsid-
iary must be included in a combined report with the captive REIT.
  (vi) If a captive REIT or a captive RIC is required under this subpar-
agraph to be included in a combined report with another corporation, and
that  other  corporation  is  also required to be included in a combined
report with another related corporation or corporations under this para-
graph, then the captive REIT or the captive RIC must be included in that
combined report with those corporations.
  (vii) If a captive REIT or  a  captive  RIC  is  not  required  to  be
included in a combined report with another corporation under clause (ii)
or  (iii)  of  this  subparagraph,  or  in  a  combined return under the
provisions of either subparagraph (v) of paragraph two of subsection (f)
of section fourteen hundred sixty-two or paragraph four  of  subdivision
(f) of section fifteen hundred fifteen of this chapter, then the captive
REIT  or  captive RIC is subject to the opening provisions of this para-
graph and the provisions of subparagraph four  of  this  paragraph.  The
captive  REIT or captive RIC must be included in a combined report under
this article with another corporation if either the  substantial  inter-
corporate  transactions  requirement  in  the opening provisions of this
paragraph or the inter-company transactions or agreement, understanding,
arrangement or transaction requirement  of  subparagraph  four  of  this
paragraph  is  satisfied and more than fifty percent of the voting stock
of the captive REIT or the captive RIC  and  substantially  all  of  the
capital  stock  of  that  other  corporation  are  owned and controlled,
directly or indirectly, by the same corporation.
  (7) (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "closest  control-
ling stockholder" means the corporation that indirectly owns or controls
over  fifty  percent  of  the voting stock of an overcapitalized captive
insurance company; is subject to tax under this article or article thir-

S. 6359--B                         114                        A. 8559--B

ty-two of this chapter, or is otherwise required to  be  included  in  a
combined  return  or  report under this article or article thirty-two of
this chapter; and is the fewest tiers of corporations away in the owner-
ship  structure from the overcapitalized captive insurance company.  The
commissioner is authorized to prescribe by regulation or published guid-
ance the criteria for determining the closest controlling stockholder.
  (ii) An overcapitalized captive insurance company must be included  in
a  combined  report  with the corporation that directly owns or controls
over fifty percent of the voting stock of  the  overcapitalized  captive
insurance  company  if that corporation is subject to tax or required to
be included in a combined report under this article.
  (iii) If over fifty percent of the voting stock of an  overcapitalized
captive  insurance  company  is  not  directly  owned or controlled by a
corporation that is subject to tax or  required  to  be  included  in  a
combined  report  under  this  article, then the overcapitalized captive
insurance company must be included in a combined return or  report  with
the corporation that is the closest controlling stockholder of the over-
capitalized captive insurance company. If the closest controlling stock-
holder  of  the  overcapitalized captive insurance company is subject to
tax or otherwise required to be included in a combined report under this
article, then the overcapitalized  captive  insurance  company  must  be
included in a combined report under this article.
  (iv)  If  the  corporation  that  directly owns or controls the voting
stock of the overcapitalized captive insurance company is  described  in
subparagraph  two, three, or five of this paragraph as a corporation not
permitted to make a combined report, then the provisions in clause (iii)
of this subparagraph must be applied to  determine  the  corporation  in
whose  combined  return  or report the overcapitalized captive insurance
company should be included. If, under clause (iii) of this subparagraph,
the corporation that is the closest controlling stockholder of the over-
capitalized captive insurance company is described in subparagraph  two,
three or five of this paragraph as a corporation not permitted to make a
combined return, then that corporation is deemed not to be in the owner-
ship structure of the overcapitalized captive insurance company, and the
closest  controlling  stockholder  will  be determined without regard to
that corporation.
  (v) If an overcapitalized captive insurance company is required  under
this  subparagraph  to  be  included  in  a combined report with another
corporation, and that other corporation is also required to be  included
in  a  combined  report with another related corporation or corporations
under this paragraph, then the overcapitalized captive insurance company
must be included in that combined report with those corporations.

clause (ii) or (iii) of this subparagraph, or in a combined return under

section fourteen hundred sixty-two of this chapter, then  the  overcapi-
talized  captive  insurance company is subject to the opening provisions
of this paragraph and the provisions of subparagraph four of this  para-
graph. The overcapitalized captive insurance company must be included in

  (b) Computation. (1) Tax. (i) In the case of a combined report the tax
shall  be  measured  by the combined entire net income, combined minimum
taxable income, combined pre-nineteen  hundred  ninety  minimum  taxable
income  or  combined  capital,  of  all the corporations included in the
report, including any  captive  REIT,  captive  RIC  or  overcapitalized
captive  insurance company; provided, however, in no event shall the tax
measured by combined capital exceed the limitation provided for in para-
graph (b) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten of this article.
  (ii) In the case of a captive REIT or captive RIC required under  this
subdivision  to be included in a combined report, entire net income must
be computed as required under subdivision five (in the case of a captive
REIT) or subdivision seven (in the case of a captive RIC) of section two
hundred nine of this article. However, the deduction under the  internal
revenue  code  for  dividends paid by the captive REIT or captive RIC to
any member of the affiliated group that includes  the  corporation  that
directly  or  indirectly  owns over fifty percent of the voting stock of
the captive REIT or captive RIC shall not be allowed for  taxable  years
beginning  on  or  after  January  first,  two  thousand eight. The term

fifteen hundred four of the internal revenue code, but without regard to
the exceptions provided for in subsection (b) of that section.
  (iii)  In  the  case  of  an overcapitalized captive insurance company

mum taxable income or combined pre-nineteen hundred ninety minimum taxa-
ble income intercorporate dividends shall be  eliminated,  in  computing
combined  business  and  investment capital intercorporate stockholdings
and intercorporate bills, notes and accounts receivable and payable  and
other  intercorporate  indebtedness shall be eliminated and in computing
combined subsidiary capital intercorporate stockholdings shall be elimi-
nated, provided, however, that intercorporate dividends from a DISC or a
former DISC not exempt from tax under paragraph (i) of subdivision  nine
of  section two hundred eight of this article which are taxable as busi-
ness income under this article shall not be eliminated.
  (3) Air freight forwarders: allocation. Notwithstanding any  provision
of law to the contrary, where a combined report includes a qualified air
freight  forwarder  and a corporation described in subparagraph seven of
paragraph (a) of subdivision three of section two hundred  ten  of  this
chapter  (relating  to aviation corporations), in computing the combined
business allocation percentage such subparagraph seven shall be  applied
with  respect  to  such  qualified air freight forwarder] FOR PROVISIONS

any agreement, understanding or arrangement exists between the  taxpayer
and  any  other corporation or any person or firm, whereby the activity,
business, income or capital of the taxpayer within the state is  improp-
erly  or  inaccurately  reflected,  the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER is

directly  traceable  thereto  be  also  excluded from entire net income,
[minimum taxable income or pre-nineteen hundred ninety  minimum  taxable
income,]  so  as  equitably to determine the tax. Where (a) any taxpayer
conducts its activity or business under any  agreement,  arrangement  or
understanding in such manner as either directly or indirectly to benefit
its  members  or  stockholders, or any of them, or any person or persons
directly or indirectly interested  in  such  activity  or  business,  by
entering  into  any transaction at more or less than a fair price which,
but for such agreement, arrangement or understanding,  might  have  been
paid or received therefor, or (b) any taxpayer, a substantial portion of
whose  capital  stock  is owned either directly or indirectly by another
corporation, enters into any transaction with such other corporation  on
such terms as to create an improper loss or net income, the [tax commis-
sion]  COMMISSIONER may include in the entire net income[, minimum taxa-
ble income or pre-nineteen hundred ninety minimum taxable income] of the
taxpayer the fair profits which, but for such agreement, arrangement  or
understanding,  the  taxpayer  might have derived from such transaction.
WHERE ANY TAXPAYER OWNS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, MORE THAN FIFTY PERCENT

term is given in paragraph one of subdivision  (c)  of  section  fifteen
hundred  ten  of this chapter, except that it includes consideration for
annuity contracts and excludes any part of the consideration for  insur-

in the case of the tax imposed under paragraph (a) of subdivision one of
section  one hundred eighty-six-a of this article (relating to providers

  (b) In addition to the surcharge imposed  by  paragraph  (a)  of  this
subdivision,  there  is hereby imposed a surcharge on the gross receipts

be calculated as if the tax imposed under section  one  hundred  eighty-
six-e  of  this  article  were  imposed  at a rate of three and one-half
percent.

included only the portion derived from or connected with New York sourc-
es  of  such  shareholder's  pro  rata  share  of items of S corporation
income, loss and deduction entering  into  his  federal  adjusted  gross
income,  increased  by  reductions for taxes described in paragraphs two

deemed asset sale for federal income tax purposes will be treated as New
York source income allocated in a manner consistent with the  applicable
methods and rules for allocation under article nine-A [or thirty-two] of
this  chapter  in  the  year  that  the  shareholder  made  the  section
338(h)(10) election. For purposes of a section 338(h)(10) election, when
a nonresident shareholder exchanges his or her S  corporation  stock  as
part  of  the  deemed  liquidation, any gain or loss recognized shall be
treated as the disposition of an intangible asset and will not  increase

thousand two] after the deduction of  any  credits  otherwise  allowable
under  this  article[; provided, however, that the tax surcharge imposed
by this section shall not be imposed upon any  taxpayer  for  more  than
four  hundred  thirty-two  months].  Provided  however, that for taxable
years commencing on or after July first, two thousand, and in  the  case
of  taxpayers subject to tax under section fifteen hundred two-a of this
article, for taxable years of such taxpayers beginning on or after  July
first,  two  thousand and before January first, two thousand three, such
surcharge shall be calculated as if (i) the rate  of  the  tax  computed

  Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 236  of  the  racing,  pari-mutuel
wagering and breeding law, as amended by chapter 18 of the laws of 2008,
is amended to read as follows:
  1. Every corporation authorized under this chapter to conduct pari-mu-
tuel  betting at a race meeting on races run thereat, except as provided
in section two hundred thirty-eight of this article with respect to  the
franchised corporation, shall distribute all sums deposited in any pari-
mutuel  pool  to  the holders of winning tickets therein, providing such

S. 6359--B                         164                        A. 8559--B

twenty  per centum of the total deposits in pools resulting from regular
on-track bets and less sixteen to twenty-two per  centum  of  the  total
deposits  in pools resulting from multiple on-track bets and less twenty
to thirty per centum of the total deposits in pools resulting from exot-
ic  on-track  bets and less twenty to thirty-six per centum of the total
pools resulting from super exotic on-track bets, plus  the  breaks.  The
retention rate to be established is subject to the prior approval of the
[racing  and  wagering board] COMMISSION.   Such rate may not be changed
more than once per calendar quarter to be effective on the first day  of
the  calendar  quarter. "Exotic bets" and "multiple bets" shall have the
meanings set forth in section five hundred nineteen of this chapter  and
breaks  are hereby defined as the odd cents over any multiple of ten, or
for exotic bets over any multiple of fifty, or for  super  exotic  bets,
over any multiple of one hundred, calculated on the basis of one dollar,
otherwise  payable  to  a patron provided, however, that effective after
October  fifteenth,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-four  breaks  are  hereby
defined  as  the odd cents over any multiple of five for payoffs greater
than one dollar five cents but less than five dollars, over any multiple
of ten for payoffs greater than five dollars but less  than  twenty-five
dollars, over any multiple of twenty-five for payoffs greater than twen-
ty-five  dollars  but  less  than two hundred fifty dollars, or over any
multiple of fifty for payoffs over two  hundred  fifty  dollars.  "Super
exotic  bets"  shall have the meaning set forth in section three hundred
one of this chapter. Of the amount so retained there shall  be  paid  by
such  corporation to the department of taxation and finance as a reason-
able tax by the  state  for  the  privilege  of  conducting  pari-mutuel
betting  on  the races run at the race meeting held by such corporation,
which tax is hereby levied, the following percentages of the total pool,
plus fifty-five per centum of the breaks; the applicable rates for regu-
lar and multiple bets shall be one and one-half per centum; the applica-
ble rates for exotic bets shall be six and three-quarter per centum  and
the applicable rate for super exotic bets shall be seven and three-quar-
ter per centum. Effective on and after September first, nineteen hundred
ninety-four,  the  applicable  tax  rate  shall be one per centum of all
wagers, provided that,  an  amount  equal  to  one-half  the  difference
between the taxation rate for on-track regular, multiple and exotic bets
as of December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-three and the rates
on such on-track wagers as herein provided shall be used exclusively for
purses. Provided, however, that for any twelve-month period beginning on
April  first in nineteen hundred ninety and any year thereafter, each of
the applicable rates set forth above shall be increased  by  one-quarter
of  one  per  centum on all on-track bets of any such racing corporation
that did not expend an amount equal to at  least  one-half  of  one  per
centum  of  its  on-track bets during the immediately preceding calendar
year for enhancements consisting of capital improvements as  defined  by
section  two  hundred thirty-seven of this article, repairs to its phys-
ical plant, structures, and equipment used in  its  racing  or  wagering
operations as certified by the [state racing and wagering board] COMMIS-
SION  to  the  commissioner of taxation and finance no later than eighty
days after the close of such calendar year, and five special  events  at
each  track  in each calendar year, not otherwise conducted in the ordi-
nary course of business, the purpose of which  shall  be  to  encourage,
attract  and  promote  track  attendance and encourage new and continued
patronage, which events shall be approved by the  [racing  and  wagering
board] COMMISSION for purposes of this subdivision. In the determination
of  the  amounts  expended for such enhancements, the [board] COMMISSION

S. 6359--B                         165                        A. 8559--B

may consider the immediately preceding twelve month calendar  period  or
the average of the two immediately preceding twelve month calendar peri-
ods.  Provided  further,  however,  that of the portion of the increased
amounts  retained  by  such  corporation above those amounts retained in
nineteen hundred eighty-four,  an  amount  of  such  increase  shall  be
distributed  to  purses in the same proportion as commissions and purses
were distributed during nineteen hundred eighty-four as certified by the
[board] COMMISSION. Such corporation in the second zone shall receive  a
credit  against  the  daily tax imposed by this subdivision in an amount
equal to one per centum of total daily pools resulting from  the  simul-
cast  of  such  corporation's  races  to licensed facilities operated by
regional off-track betting corporations in accordance with  section  one
thousand  eight of this chapter, provided however, that sixty per centum
of the amount of such credit shall be used exclusively to increase purs-
es for overnight races conducted  by  such  corporation;  and,  provided
further,  that  in no event shall such total daily credit exceed one per
centum of the total daily pool of such corporation.  Provided,  however,
that  on  and  after  September first, nineteen hundred ninety-four such
credit shall be four-tenths percent of total daily pools resulting  from
such  simulcasting  and  that  in no event shall such total daily credit
equal four-tenths percent of the total daily pool of such corporation.
  Such corporation shall pay to the New York state thoroughbred breeding
and development fund one-half of one  per  centum  of  the  total  daily
on-track  pari-mutuel  pools from regular, multiple and exotic bets, and
three per centum of super exotic bets.  The  corporation  shall  receive
credit  as  a  reduction  of  the  tax by the state for the privilege of
conducting pari-mutuel betting for the amounts, except amounts paid from
super exotic betting pools, paid to  the  New  York  state  thoroughbred
breeding  and  development  fund  after  January first, nineteen hundred
seventy-eight.
  Such corporation shall distribute to purses an amount equal  to  fifty
per  centum  of  any  compensation it receives from simulcasting or from
wagering conducted outside the United States. Such corporation shall pay
to the [racing and wagering board] COMMISSION as a regulatory fee, which
fee is hereby levied, [fifty] SIXTY hundredths of one per centum of  the
total daily on-track pari-mutuel pools of such corporation.
  S  2.  Paragraph  (d)  of  subdivision 1 of section 238 of the racing,
pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, as amended by chapter 18  of  the
laws of 2008, is amended to read as follows:
  (d)  The  pari-mutuel  tax  rate  authorized  by paragraph (a) of this
subdivision shall be effective so long as a franchised corporation noti-
fies the [racing and wagering board] COMMISSION by August  fifteenth  of
each  year  that such pari-mutuel tax rate is effective of its intent to
conduct a race meeting at Aqueduct racetrack during the months of Decem-
ber, January, February, March and April. For purposes of this  paragraph
such  race  meeting  shall  consist of not less than ninety-five days of
racing.  Not later than May first of each year that such pari-mutuel tax
rate is effective, the [racing  and  wagering  board]  COMMISSION  shall
determine  whether a race meeting at Aqueduct racetrack consisted of the
number of days as required by this paragraph. In determining the  number
of race days, cancellation of a race day because of an act of God, which
the [racing and wagering board] COMMISSION approves or because of weath-
er  conditions that are unsafe or hazardous which the [racing and wager-
ing board] COMMISSION approves shall not be construed as  a  failure  to
conduct  a race day. Additionally, cancellation of a race day because of
circumstances beyond the control  of  such  franchised  corporation  for

S. 6359--B                         166                        A. 8559--B

which  the  [racing  and wagering board] COMMISSION gives approval shall
not be construed as a failure to conduct a race day. If the [racing  and
wagering  board] COMMISSION determines that the number of days of racing
as required by this paragraph have not occurred then the pari-mutuel tax
rate in paragraph (a) of this subdivision shall revert to the pari-mutu-
el  tax rates in effect prior to January first, nineteen hundred ninety-
five. Such franchised corporation shall pay to the [racing and  wagering
board]  COMMISSION  as  a  regulatory  fee,  which fee is hereby levied,
[fifty] SIXTY hundredths of one per centum of the total  daily  on-track
pari-mutuel pools of such franchised corporation.
  S  3. Paragraph d of subdivision 1 of section 318 of the racing, pari-
mutuel wagering and breeding law, as amended by section 3 of part  B  of
chapter 59 of the laws of 2005, is amended to read as follows:
  d.  Every  harness  racing association or corporation shall pay to the
[board] COMMISSION as a regulatory fee,  which  fee  is  hereby  levied,
[fifty]  SIXTY  hundredths  of  one  percent of the total daily on-track
pari-mutuel pools of such association or corporation.
  S 4. The opening paragraph of subdivision 1  of  section  527  of  the
racing,  pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, as amended by chapter 18
of the laws of 2008, is amended to read as follows:
  The disposition of the retained commission from pools  resulting  from
regular,  multiple or exotic bets, as the case may be, whether placed on
races run within a region or  outside  a  region,  conducted  by  racing
corporations, harness racing associations or corporations, quarter horse
racing associations or corporations or races run outside the state shall
be governed by the tables in paragraphs a and b of this subdivision. The
rate  denominated  "state  tax" shall represent the rate of a reasonable
tax imposed upon the retained commission for the privilege of conducting
off-track pari-mutuel betting, which tax is hereby levied and  shall  be
payable  in the manner set forth in this section. Each off-track betting
corporation shall pay to the [racing and wagering board] COMMISSION as a
regulatory fee, which fee is hereby levied, [fifty] SIXTY hundredths  of
one  percent  of  the total daily pools of such corporation. Each corpo-
ration shall also pay twenty per centum of the breaks derived from  bets
on harness races and fifty per centum of the breaks derived from bets on
all other races to the agriculture and New York State horse breeding and
development  fund and to the thoroughbred breeding and development fund,
the total of such payments to be apportioned fifty per  centum  to  each
such fund. For the purposes of this section, the New York city, Suffolk,
Nassau,  and  the  Catskill regions shall constitute a single region and
any thoroughbred track located within the Capital District region  shall
be  deemed  to  be within such single region. A "regional meeting" shall
refer to either harness or thoroughbred meetings, or both, except that a
franchised corporation shall not be a regional track for the purpose  of
receiving  distributions  from bets on thoroughbred races conducted by a
thoroughbred track in the Catskill region conducting  a  mixed  meeting.
With  the exception of a harness racing association or corporation first
licensed to conduct pari-mutuel wagering at a  track  located  in  Tioga
county after January first, two thousand five, racing corporations first
licensed  to  conduct  pari-mutuel  racing after January first, nineteen
hundred eighty-six or a harness racing association or corporation  first
licensed  to  conduct pari-mutuel wagering at a track located in Genesee
County after January first, two thousand five, and quarter horse  tracks
shall  not be "regional tracks"; if there is more than one harness track
within a region, such tracks shall evenly divide payments made  pursuant
to  the  tables  in  paragraphs a and b of this subdivision when neither

S. 6359--B                         167                        A. 8559--B

track is running. In the event a track elects  to  reduce  its  retained
percentage from any or all of its pari-mutuel pools, the payments to the
track  holding  the race and the regional track required by paragraphs a
and  b  of  this  subdivision  shall  be  reduced  in proportion to such
reduction. Nothing in this section shall be construed to  authorize  the
conduct  of off-track betting contrary to the provisions of section five
hundred twenty-three of this article.
  S 5. Paragraph a of subdivision 1 of section 904 of the racing,  pari-
mutuel  wagering  and breeding law, as amended by chapter 18 of the laws
of 2008, is amended to read as follows:

                                 PART I

  Section 1. Subsection (b) of section 612 of the tax law is amended  by
adding a new paragraph 40 to read as follows:
  (40)  IN  THE  CASE OF A BENEFICIARY OF A NONRESIDENT TRUST OR A TRUST
NOT SUBJECT TO TAX PURSUANT TO SUBPARAGRAPH (D) OF  PARAGRAPH  THREE  OF
SUBSECTION  (B)  OF SECTION SIX HUNDRED FIVE OF THIS ARTICLE (EXCEPT FOR
AN INCOMPLETE GIFT NON-GRANTOR TRUST, AS DEFINED BY PARAGRAPH  FORTY-ONE
OF  THIS  SUBSECTION),  THE  AMOUNT  OF ANY ACCUMULATION DISTRIBUTION AS
DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION (B) OF SECTION SIX  HUNDRED  SIXTY-FIVE  OF  THE
INTERNAL  REVENUE  CODE  FOR  THE TAX YEAR, SUCH AMOUNT TO BE DETERMINED
WITHOUT REGARD TO SUBSECTION (C) OF SECTION SIX  HUNDRED  SIXTY-FIVE  OF
THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, TO THE EXTENT NOT ALREADY INCLUDED IN FEDERAL
GROSS  INCOME  FOR THE TAX YEAR, EXCEPT THAT, IN COMPUTING THE AMOUNT TO
BE ADDED UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH, SUCH BENEFICIARY SHALL  DISREGARD  INCOME
EARNED  BY A TRUST IN A TAXABLE YEAR PRIOR TO WHEN THE BENEFICIARY FIRST
BECAME A RESIDENT OF THE STATE OR IN ANY TAXABLE  YEAR  STARTING  BEFORE
JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN.
  S 2. Subsection (b) of section 612 of the tax law is amended by adding
a new paragraph 41 to read as follows:

S. 6359--B                         173                        A. 8559--B

  (41)  IN  THE CASE OF A TAXPAYER WHO TRANSFERRED PROPERTY TO AN INCOM-
PLETE GIFT  NON-GRANTOR  TRUST,  THE  INCOME  OF  THE  TRUST,  LESS  ANY
DEDUCTIONS  OF  THE  TRUST,  TO THE EXTENT SUCH INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS OF
SUCH TRUST WOULD BE TAKEN  INTO  ACCOUNT  IN  COMPUTING  THE  TAXPAYER'S
FEDERAL  TAXABLE  INCOME IF SUCH TRUST IN ITS ENTIRETY WERE TREATED AS A
GRANTOR TRUST FOR FEDERAL TAX PURPOSES. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS  PARAGRAPH,
AN "INCOMPLETE GIFT NON-GRANTOR TRUST" MEANS A RESIDENT TRUST THAT MEETS
THE  FOLLOWING  CONDITIONS:  (I) THE TRUST DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A GRANTOR
TRUST UNDER SECTION SIX HUNDRED SEVENTY-ONE THROUGH SIX  HUNDRED  SEVEN-
TY-NINE  OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, AND (2) THE GRANTOR'S TRANSFER OF
ASSETS TO THE TRUST IS TREATED AS AN INCOMPLETE GIFT UNDER SECTION TWEN-
TY-FIVE HUNDRED ELEVEN OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, AND THE REGULATIONS

  S 621. [Credit] CREDITS to trust  beneficiary  receiving  accumulation
distribution.   (a) General. A resident beneficiary of a trust whose New
York adjusted gross income includes  all  or  part  of  an  accumulation
distribution by such trust, as defined in section six hundred sixty-five
of the internal revenue code, INCLUDING A BENEFICIARY WHO IS REQUIRED TO
MAKE  THE  MODIFICATION REQUIRED BY PARAGRAPH FORTY OF SUBSECTION (B) OF
SECTION SIX HUNDRED TWELVE OF THIS PART, shall be allowed (1)  a  credit
against  the  tax  otherwise due under this article for all or a propor-
tionate part of any tax paid by the trust under this  article  or  under
FORMER article sixteen of this chapter (as such article was in effect on
or before December thirtieth, nineteen hundred sixty), for any preceding
taxable  year which would not have been payable if the trust had in fact
made distributions to its beneficiaries at the times and in the  amounts
specified in section six hundred sixty-six of the internal revenue code;
AND (2) A CREDIT AGAINST THE TAXES IMPOSED BY THIS ARTICLE FOR THE TAXA-
BLE YEAR FOR ANY INCOME TAX IMPOSED ON THE TRUST FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR OR
ANY  PRIOR  TAXABLE  YEAR BY ANOTHER STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, A POLI-
TICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, OR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, UPON INCOME BOTH
DERIVED THEREFROM AND SUBJECT TO TAX UNDER THIS ARTICLE,  PROVIDED  THAT
THE  AMOUNT  OF  THE  CREDIT  SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PERCENTAGE OF THE TAX
OTHERWISE DUE UNDER THIS ARTICLE DETERMINED BY DIVIDING THE  PORTION  OF
THE  INCOME THAT IS BOTH TAXABLE TO THE TRUST IN SUCH OTHER JURISDICTION
AND TAXABLE TO THE BENEFICIARY UNDER THIS ARTICLE BY THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF
THE BENEFICIARY'S NEW YORK INCOME.
  (b) Limitation. The [credit] CREDITS  under  this  section  shall  not
reduce  the tax otherwise due from the beneficiary under this article to
an amount less than would have been due if the accumulation distribution
or his part thereof were excluded  from  his  New  York  adjusted  gross
income.
  S  4. Section 658 of the tax law is amended by adding a new subsection
(f) to read as follows:
   (F) (1) EVERY NONRESIDENT TRUST OR A TRUST DESCRIBED BY  SUBPARAGRAPH
(D)  OF PARAGRAPH THREE OF SUBSECTION (B) OF SECTION SIX HUNDRED FIVE OF
THIS ARTICLE SHALL MAKE A RETURN FOR ANY TAXABLE YEAR IN WHICH IT  MAKES
AN  ACCUMULATION  DISTRIBUTION  WITHIN THE MEANING OF SUBDIVISION (B) OF
SECTION SIX HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE TO A BENEFI-
CIARY WHO IS A RESIDENT, WHICH  RETURN  SHALL  INCLUDE  (I)  INFORMATION
IDENTIFYING SUCH RESIDENT, (II) THE AMOUNT OF SUCH ACCUMULATION DISTRIB-
UTION, AND (III) SUCH OTHER INFORMATION AS THE COMMISSIONER MAY REQUIRE.

S. 6359--B                         174                        A. 8559--B

  (2)  EVERY  RESIDENT  TRUST  THAT DOES NOT FILE THE RETURN REQUIRED BY
SECTION SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-ONE OF THIS PART ON THE GROUND THAT IT IS  NOT
SUBJECT  TO  TAX  PURSUANT  TO  SUBPARAGRAPH  (D)  OF PARAGRAPH THREE OF
SUBSECTION (B) OF SECTION SIX HUNDRED FIVE OF THIS ARTICLE FOR THE TAXA-
BLE  YEAR  SHALL  MAKE A RETURN FOR SUCH TAXABLE YEAR SUBSTANTIATING ITS
ENTITLEMENT TO THAT EXEMPTION AND PROVIDING SUCH  OTHER  INFORMATION  AS
THE COMMISSIONER MAY REQUIRE.
  (3)  THE  RETURNS  REQUIRED  BY  THIS  SUBSECTION SHALL BE FILED ON OR
BEFORE THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF THE FOURTH MONTH FOLLOWING THE CLOSE OF EACH
TAXABLE YEAR. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS PARAGRAPH,  "TAXABLE  YEAR"  MEANS  A
YEAR  OR  A PERIOD WHICH WOULD BE A TAXABLE YEAR OF THE TRUST IF IT WERE
SUBJECT TO TAX UNDER THIS ARTICLE.
  S 5. Paragraph 2 of subsection (h) of section 685 of the tax  law,  as
amended  by  chapter  190  of  the  laws  of 1990, is amended to read as
follows:
  (2) If any partnership [or], S corporation, OR TRUST required to  file
a return or report under subsection (c) OR SUBSECTION (F) of section six
hundred  fifty-eight  or  under  section  six hundred fifty-nine OF THIS
ARTICLE for any taxable year fails to file such return or report at  the
time  prescribed  therefor  (determined  with regard to any extension of
time for filing), or files a return or report which fails  to  show  the
information  required  under  such subsection (c) or section six hundred
fifty-nine OF THIS ARTICLE, unless it is shown that such failure is  due
to  reasonable  cause  and not due to willful neglect, there shall, upon
notice and demand by the commissioner and in the same manner as tax,  be
paid  by  the  partnership or S corporation a penalty for each month (or
fraction thereof) during which such failure continues (but not to exceed
five months). The amount of such penalty for any month is the product of
fifty dollars, multiplied by the number of partners in  the  partnership
or shareholders in the S corporation during any part of the taxable year
who were subject to tax under this article during any part of such taxa-
ble  year,  EXCEPT  THAT,  IN  THE CASE OF A TRUST, THE PENALTY SHALL BE
EQUAL TO ONE HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS A MONTH UP TO A  MAXIMUM  OF  FIFTEEN
HUNDRED DOLLARS PER TAXABLE YEAR.
  S  6. Subdivision (b) of section 11-1712 of the administrative code of
the city of New York is amended by adding a new paragraph 36 to read  as

PLETE GIFT NON-GRANTOR TRUST, AS DEFINED BY  PARAGRAPH  THIRTY-SEVEN  OF
THIS  SUBDIVISION),  THE  AMOUNT  OF  ANY  ACCUMULATION  DISTRIBUTION AS

INTERNAL  REVENUE  CODE  FOR  THE TAX YEAR, SUCH AMOUNT TO BE DETERMINED
WITHOUT REGARD TO SUBSECTION (C) OF SECTION SIX  HUNDRED  SIXTY-FIVE  OF
THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, TO THE EXTENT NOT ALREADY INCLUDED IN FEDERAL
GROSS  INCOME  FOR THE TAX YEAR, EXCEPT THAT, IN COMPUTING THE AMOUNT TO
BE ADDED UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH, SUCH BENEFICIARY SHALL  DISREGARD  INCOME
EARNED  BY A TRUST IN A TAXABLE YEAR PRIOR TO WHEN THE BENEFICIARY FIRST
BECAME A RESIDENT OF THE STATE OR IN ANY TAXABLE  YEAR  STARTING  BEFORE
JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN.
  S  7. Subdivision (b) of section 11-1712 of the administrative code of
the city of New York is amended by adding a new paragraph 37 to read  as

DEDUCTIONS  OF  SUCH  TRUST, TO THE EXTENT SUCH INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS OF
SUCH TRUST WOULD BE TAKEN  INTO  ACCOUNT  IN  COMPUTING  THE  TAXPAYER'S

AN "INCOMPLETE GIFT NON-GRANTOR TRUST" MEANS A RESIDENT TRUST THAT MEETS
THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: (I) THE TRUST DOES NOT QUALIFY  AS  A  GRANTOR
TRUST  UNDER  SECTION SIX HUNDRED SEVENTY-ONE THROUGH SIX HUNDRED SEVEN-
TY-NINE OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, AND (2) THE GRANTOR'S TRANSFER  OF
ASSETS TO THE TRUST IS TREATED AS AN INCOMPLETE GIFT UNDER SECTION TWEN-
TY FIVE HUNDRED ELEVEN OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, AND THE REGULATIONS
THEREUNDER.
  S  8.  Section  11-1721  of the administrative code of the city of New
York, subdivisions (a) and (b) as amended by section 72 and such section
as renumbered by section 43 of chapter 639  of  the  laws  of  1986,  is

(B) OF SECTION 11-1712 OF THIS SUBCHAPTER, shall be allowed (1) a credit
against the tax otherwise due under this chapter for all  or  a  propor-
tionate  part  of  any tax paid by the trust under this chapter or under
FORMER title T of chapter forty-six of this code, as it  was  in  effect
prior to September first, nineteen hundred eighty-six, for any preceding
taxable  year which would not have been payable if the trust had in fact
made distributions to its beneficiaries at the times and in the  amounts
specified in section six hundred sixty-six of the internal revenue code;
AND (2) A CREDIT AGAINST THE TAXES IMPOSED BY THIS CHAPTER FOR THE TAXA-
BLE  YEAR  FOR  ANY INCOME TAX IMPOSED FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR OR ANY PRIOR

THEREFROM  AND  SUBJECT  TO  TAX  UNDER  THIS CHAPTER, PROVIDED THAT THE
AMOUNT OF THE CREDIT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PERCENTAGE OF THE  TAX  OTHER-
WISE  DUE  UNDER  THIS CHAPTER DETERMINED BY DIVIDING THE PORTION OF THE
INCOME THAT IS BOTH TAXABLE TO THE TRUST IN SUCH OTHER JURISDICTION  AND
TAXABLE TO THE BENEFICIARY UNDER THIS CHAPTER BY THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE
BENEFICIARY'S NEW YORK CITY INCOME.
  (b)  Limitation.  The  [credit]  CREDITS  under this section shall not
reduce the tax otherwise due from the beneficiary under this chapter  to
an amount less than would have been due if the accumulation distribution
or  his  or her part thereof were excluded from his or her city adjusted
gross income.

[claimed] CLAIM one or more dependent children who were under the age of
seventeen on the last day of the taxable year, (c) [had] HAVE  New  York
adjusted  gross income of at least forty thousand dollars but no greater
than three hundred thousand dollars, and (d) [had] HAVE a tax  liability

ble  for  this credit, the commissioner shall advance a payment of three

taxable year, such taxpayer shall properly reconcile that payment on his
or her return.

provide that groundwater  use  in  Tracks  2,  3  or  4  can  be  either
restricted or unrestricted. The tracks shall be as follows:
  Track  1: The remedial program shall achieve a cleanup level that will
allow the site to be used for any purpose without restriction and  with-
out reliance on the long-term employment of institutional or engineering
controls,  and shall achieve contaminant-specific remedial action objec-

S. 6359--B                         198                        A. 8559--B

tives for soil which conform with those contained in the  generic  table
of  contaminant-specific remedial action objectives for unrestricted use
developed pursuant to subdivision six of this section.  Provided, howev-
er, that volunteers whose proposed remedial program [for the remediation
of  groundwater] (1)(I) may require the long-term employment of institu-
tional or engineering controls FOR THE REMEDIATION OF GROUNDWATER  after
the bulk reduction of groundwater contamination to asymptotic levels has
been  achieved  OR  (II)  MAY  REQUIRE  AN  INSTITUTIONAL OR ENGINEERING
CONTROL FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS SOLELY TO ADDRESS SOIL VAPOR  INTRUSION
but  (2)  whose  program  would  otherwise conform with the requirements
necessary to qualify for Track 1, shall qualify for Track 1.
  Track 2: The remedial program may include restrictions on the  use  of
the  site  or reliance on the long-term employment of engineering and/or
institutional controls, but shall achieve contaminant-specific  remedial
action  objectives for soil which conform with those contained in one of
the generic tables developed pursuant to subdivision six of this section
without the use of institutional or engineering controls to  reach  such
objectives.
  Track 3: The remedial program shall achieve contaminant-specific reme-
dial  action objectives for soil which conform with the criteria used to
develop the generic tables for such  objectives  developed  pursuant  to
subdivision six of this section but may use site specific data to deter-
mine such objectives.
  Track  4: The remedial program shall achieve a cleanup level that will
be protective for the site's current, intended or reasonably anticipated
residential, commercial, or industrial use with  restrictions  and  with
reliance  on  the  long-term  employment of institutional or engineering
controls  to  achieve  such  level.  The  regulations  shall  include  a
provision  requiring  that  a cleanup level which poses a risk in excee-
dance of an excess cancer risk of one in one  million  for  carcinogenic
end  points  and  a  hazard index of one for non-cancer end points for a
specific contaminant at a specific site may be approved by  the  depart-
ment  without requiring the use of institutional or engineering controls
to eliminate exposure only upon a site specific finding by  the  commis-
sioner, in consultation with the commissioner of health, that such level
shall be protective of public health and environment. Such finding shall
be  included  in  the  draft  remedial  work plan for the site and fully
described in the notice and fact sheet provided for such work plan.

without  the  necessity  for  remediation pursuant to section 27-1411 of
this title, the department, in consultation  with  the  applicant,  must
notify  individuals  on  the  brownfield  site contact list. Such notice
shall  include  a  fact  sheet  describing  such  plan and provide for a
forty-five day public comment period.  The  commissioner  shall  hold  a
public  meeting  if  requested by the affected community and the commis-
sioner has found that the site constitutes a significant threat  to  the
public  health  or  the environment. Further, the affected community may
request a public meeting at sites that do not constitute  a  significant
threat.  (1)  To the extent that the department has determined that site
conditions do not pose a  significant  threat  and  the  site  is  being
addressed by a volunteer, the notice shall state that the department has
determined  that  no  remediation is required for the off-site areas and
that the department's determination of a significant threat  is  subject
to  this  forty-five day comment period. (2) If the [remedial work plan]
REMEDY includes a Track 2, Track 3 or Track 4 remedy at  a  non-signifi-
cant  threat  site, such comment period shall apply both to the approval
of the alternatives analysis by the department, IF APPLICABLE,  and  the
proposed remedy selected by the applicant.

law  of the state which operates to defeat the enforcement of any inter-
est in real property shall operate to  defeat  the  enforcement  of  any
environmental  easement  unless  such  general  law expressly states the
intent to defeat the enforcement of such easement or  provides  for  the

the  tangible  property  credit component allowed under this section the
taxpayer to whom the certificate of completion is  issued,  as  provided
for  under  subdivision  five  of  section  27-1419 of the environmental
conservation law, may transfer the benefits and burdens of  the  certif-
icate  of  completion,  which  run  with the land and to the applicant's
successors or assigns upon transfer or sale of all or any portion of  an
interest  or estate in the qualified site. However, the taxpayer to whom
certificate's benefits and burdens are transferred shall not include the
cost of acquiring all or any portion of an interest  or  estate  in  the
site  and  the  amounts  included in the cost or other basis for federal
income tax purposes of qualified tangible property  already  claimed  by

laws  of 1978, subsection (a) as amended by section 1 of part T of chap-
ter 57 of the laws of 2010, subsection (b) as amended by  section  5  of
part A of chapter 389 of the laws of 1997 and subsection (c) as added by
chapter 538 of the laws of 2013, is amended to read as follows:
  S  951.  Applicable  internal  revenue code provisions.-- (a) [Dates]
GENERAL.  For purposes of this article, any reference  to  the  internal
revenue code means the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, with

S. 6359--B                         247                        A. 8559--B

all  amendments  enacted  on  or  before  [July  twenty-second, nineteen
hundred ninety-eight,] JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN and,  unless
specifically provided otherwise in this article, any reference to Decem-
ber  thirty-first,  nineteen hundred seventy-six or January first, nine-
teen hundred seventy-seven contained in  the  provisions  of  such  code
which  are  applicable  to  the determination of the tax imposed by this
article shall be read as a reference to June thirtieth, nineteen hundred
seventy-eight or July first, nineteen hundred seventy-eight, respective-
ly. [Notwithstanding the  foregoing,  the  unified  credit  against  the
estate  tax provided in section two thousand ten of the internal revenue
code shall, for purposes of this article, be the amount allowable as  if
the federal applicable exclusion amount were one million dollars.]
  (b)  [Applicable  generation-skipping  transfer tax provisions.--Where
any reference is made in this article  (or  in  the  provisions  of  the
internal  revenue  code  which  are  made  applicable by section two, as
amended, of chapter one  thousand  thirteen  of  the  laws  of  nineteen
hundred sixty-two, to the determination of the tax imposed by this arti-
cle  and  appended  thereto)  to provisions of the internal revenue code
contained in section one thousand  twenty-five  of  this  chapter,  such
internal  revenue code provisions contained in such section one thousand
twenty-five shall apply to the provisions of this article  in  the  same
manner  and  with  the  same force and effect as if the language of such
provisions of the internal revenue code had been  incorporated  in  full
into this article except to the extent that any such provision is either
inconsistent  with a provision of this article or is not relevant there-
to.
  (c)] Disposition to surviving spouse who is not a United States  citi-
zen.  In  the case of an estate where a federal estate tax return is not
required for federal estate tax purposes, a disposition to  a  surviving
spouse  that  would qualify for the federal estate tax marital deduction
under section 2056 of the internal revenue code if not for  the  limita-
tion  imposed  by subsection (d)(1) of such section shall nonetheless be
treated as qualifying for the federal estate tax marital  deduction  for
purposes  of computing the tax imposed by section nine hundred fifty-two
of this part, without  requiring  that  such  disposition  pass  to  the
surviving  spouse  in a qualified domestic trust as required for federal
purposes by internal revenue code section 2056(d)(2).
  S 2. Section 952 of the tax law, as added by section 9 of  part  A  of
chapter  389 of the laws of 1997, subsection (b) as amended by section 3
of part I of chapter 60 of the laws of  2004,  is  amended  to  read  as
follows:
  S 952. Tax imposed. (a) A tax is hereby imposed on the transfer of the
New York estate by every deceased individual who at his or her death was
a  resident of New York state. [The tax imposed by this subsection shall
be an amount equal to the maximum amount allowable against  the  federal
estate  tax as a credit for state death taxes under section two thousand
eleven of the internal revenue code.]
  (b) [If the transfer of any part of the estate of a deceased  resident
includes  real  or  tangible  personal  property  having an actual situs
outside New York state, the  tax  imposed  by  subsection  (a)  of  this
section  shall  be  reduced  by  an amount determined by multiplying the
maximum amount of the federal credit for state death taxes  by  a  frac-
tion,  the  numerator  of  which  is the decedent's federal gross estate
reduced by his or her New York gross estate and the denominator of which
is his or her federal gross estate.] COMPUTATION OF TAX. THE TAX IMPOSED

chapter 407 of the laws of 1999 and such subsection (c) as relettered by
section 12 of part A of chapter 389 of the laws of 1997, is  amended  to
read as follows:
  S  954.  Resident's New York gross estate. (a) General.-- The New York
gross estate of a deceased resident  means  his  OR  HER  federal  gross
estate as defined in the internal revenue code (whether or not a federal
estate tax return is required to be filed) modified as follows:
  (1)  Reduced by the value of real or tangible personal property having
an actual situs outside New York state.
  (2) Increased by the amount  determined  under  section  nine  hundred
fifty-seven  OF  THIS  PART  (relating  to limited powers of appointment
created prior to September first, nineteen hundred thirty).

THE  INTERNAL  REVENUE CODE, ON OR AFTER APRIL FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FOUR-
TEEN, IF THE DECEDENT WAS A RESIDENT OF NEW YORK STATE AT THE TIME  SUCH
GIFT WAS MADE.
  (b)  Valuation. -- (1) The New York gross estate shall be valued as of
the TIME OF THE DECEDENT'S DEATH, EXCEPT THAT IF A  FEDERAL  ESTATE  TAX
RETURN  IS  FILED  AND THE ALTERNATE VALUATION UNDER SECTION 2032 OF THE
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE IS ELECTED FOR FEDERAL ESTATE  TAX  PURPOSES,  THE
NEW YORK GROSS ESTATE SHALL BE VALUED AS OF THE applicable federal valu-
ation date or dates. Any real property qualified under section two thou-
sand thirty-two-A of the internal revenue code shall have the same value

for  purposes  of the New York gross estate as it has for federal estate
tax purposes.
  (2)  IF  SUCH  ALTERNATE VALUATION COULD HAVE BEEN ELECTED PURSUANT TO
PARAGRAPH ONE OF THIS SUBSECTION, BUT  FOR  THE  ABSENCE  OF  AN  ESTATE
SUFFICIENT TO REQUIRE THE FILING OF A FEDERAL RETURN, THE NEW YORK GROSS
ESTATE  MAY,  UPON  THE  ELECTION  OF  THE EXECUTOR, BE VALUED AS OF THE
FEDERAL VALUATION DATE OR DATES WHICH WOULD HAVE APPLIED  IF  A  FEDERAL
RETURN HAD BEEN FILED. HOWEVER, NO ELECTION MAY BE MADE UNDER THIS PARA-
GRAPH UNLESS SUCH ELECTION WILL DECREASE THE VALUE OF THE NEW YORK GROSS

bets  plus  twenty per centum of the breaks; for exotic wagers seven and
one-half per centum plus twenty per centum of the breaks, and for  super
exotic  bets  seven and one-half per centum plus fifty per centum of the
breaks.  For the period June first, nineteen hundred ninety-five through

  Section 1. Clause (H) of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph 1 of  subdivi-
sion b of section 1612 of the tax law, as separately amended by chapters
174 and 175 of the laws of 2013, is amended to read as follows:
  (H)  notwithstanding  clauses  (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) and (G) of
this subparagraph, the track operator of a vendor track shall be  eligi-
ble  for  a  vendor's  capital  award of up to four percent of the total
revenue wagered at the vendor track after payout for prizes pursuant  to
this  chapter,  which  shall  be  used  exclusively  for capital project
investments to improve the facilities of the vendor track which  promote
or  encourage  increased attendance at the video lottery gaming facility
including, but not limited to hotels, other lodging  facilities,  enter-
tainment   facilities,  retail  facilities,  dining  facilities,  events
arenas, parking garages and other  improvements  that  enhance  facility
amenities;  provided  that such capital investments shall be approved by
the division, in consultation with the state racing and wagering  board,
and  that  such vendor track demonstrates that such capital expenditures
will increase patronage at such vendor track's facilities  and  increase
the amount of revenue generated to support state education programs. The
annual  amount of such vendor's capital awards that a vendor track shall
be eligible to receive shall be limited  to  two  million  five  hundred
thousand  dollars,  except for Aqueduct racetrack, for which there shall
be no vendor's capital awards. Except for tracks having  less  than  one
thousand  one  hundred  video  gaming  machines, and except for a vendor
track located west of State Route 14 from Sodus Point to the  Pennsylva-
nia  border  within  New  York, each track operator shall be required to
co-invest an amount of  capital  expenditure  equal  to  its  cumulative
vendor's  capital  award. For all tracks, except for Aqueduct racetrack,
the amount of any vendor's capital award that is not used during any one
year period may be carried over  into  subsequent  years  ending  before

April  first,  two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN.  Any amount attributable
to a capital expenditure approved prior to  April  first,  two  thousand
[fourteen]  FIFTEEN  and  completed  before  April  first,  two thousand
[sixteen]  SEVENTEEN;  or  approved  prior  to April first, two thousand
[eighteen] NINETEEN and  completed  before  April  first,  two  thousand
[twenty]  TWENTY-ONE  for  a vendor track located west of State Route 14
from Sodus Point to the Pennsylvania border within New  York,  shall  be
eligible  to  receive  the  vendor's  capital award. In the event that a
vendor track's capital expenditures, approved by the division  prior  to
April  first,  two  thousand  [fourteen]  FIFTEEN and completed prior to
April first, two thousand [sixteen] SEVENTEEN, exceed the vendor track's
cumulative capital award during the five year period ending April first,
two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN, the vendor shall  continue  to  receive
the  capital  award  after  April first, two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN
until such approved capital expenditures are paid to  the  vendor  track
subject  to  any  required  co-investment.  In no event shall any vendor
track that receives a vendor fee pursuant to clause (F) or (G)  of  this
subparagraph  be  eligible  for  a  vendor's  capital  award  under this
section. Any operator of a vendor track which has  received  a  vendor's
capital  award,  choosing to divest the capital improvement toward which
the award was applied, prior to the full  depreciation  of  the  capital
improvement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
shall  reimburse  the  state  in  amounts equal to the total of any such
awards. Any capital award not approved for a capital  expenditure  at  a
video  lottery  gaming  facility by April first, two thousand [fourteen]
FIFTEEN shall be deposited into the state  lottery  fund  for  education
aid; and

THE STAMPS PROVIDED FOR BY THIS ARTICLE, AND HIRE STAFF AND PROVIDE SUCH

COMMISSIONER'S  DIRECTION IN CARRYING OUT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ARTICLE
SHALL BE PAID TO THE COMMISSIONER BY THE STATE TREASURER FROM ANY MONEYS
APPROPRIATED  FOR  SUCH  PURPOSE. The commissioner shall make provisions
for the sale of such stamps at such places and at such times as  he  may
deem necessary and may license agents for such purpose. The commissioner
may  license  dealers  in  cigarettes, who maintain separate warehousing
facilities for the purpose of receiving and distributing cigarettes  and
conducting  their  business, who have received commitments from at least

license. Whenever the commissioner shall sell and deliver  to  any  such
agent  any  such  stamps,  such  agent  shall  be entitled to receive as
compensation for his services and expenses as such agent in  selling  or
affixing  such stamps, and to retain out of the moneys to be paid by him
for such stamps, a commission on the par value thereof. The commissioner
is hereby authorized to prescribe a schedule of commissions, not exceed-
ing five per centum, allowable to such agent  for  buying  and  affixing
such  stamps. Such schedule shall be uniform with respect to the differ-
ent types of stamps used, and may be on a graduated scale  with  respect
to  the  number  of  stamps  purchased.  The  commissioner  may,  in his
discretion, permit an agent to pay for such stamps  within  thirty  days
after  the  date of purchase and may require any such agent to file with
the department of taxation and finance a bond issued by a surety company
approved by the superintendent of financial services as to solvency  and
responsibility and authorized to transact business in the state or other
security  acceptable  to the commissioner, in such amount as the commis-
sioner may fix, to secure the payment of any sums due  from  such  agent
pursuant  to this article. If securities are deposited as security under
this subdivision, such securities shall be kept in the  custody  of  the
commissioner and may be sold by the commissioner if it becomes necessary
so  to  do  in order to recover any sums due from such agent pursuant to
this article, but no such sale shall be had until after such agent shall
have had opportunity to litigate the validity of any tax if it elects so
to do. Upon any such sale, the surplus, if any, above the sums due under
this article shall be returned to such agent.

the following provisions shall apply:
  (a)  investments in the stocks, bonds or other securities of a DISC or

entire  net  income  for  a prior taxable year under subparagraph (B) of
paragraph (i) of subdivision nine of this section shall be excluded from
entire net income,
  (c) any gain recognized for federal income tax purposes on the  dispo-
sition of stock in a DISC, and any gain recognized on the disposition of
stock  in a former DISC, includible in gross income as a dividend pursu-
ant to subsection (c) of section nine hundred ninety-five of the  inter-
nal  revenue  code  of  nineteen hundred fifty-four, shall be treated as
business income, and
  (d) except as provided in paragraph (i) of subdivision  nine  of  this
section,  any  actual distribution from a DISC or a former DISC shall be
treated as business income  except  an  actual  distribution  which  for
federal  income  tax  purposes is treated as made out of "other earnings
and profits" under section  nine  hundred  ninety-six  of  the  internal
revenue  code  of nineteen hundred fifty-four, in which case such actual
distribution shall be treated as [either subsidiary income  or]  invest-
ment income under this article.
  [8-B.  (a) The term "minimum taxable income" shall mean the entire net
income of the taxpayer for the taxable year:
  (1) increased by the amount of the federal items of tax preference set
forth in section fifty-seven of the  internal  revenue  code  (with  the
modifications  set  forth  in  paragraph (b) of this subdivision), which
items of tax preference shall have the same meaning and be  computed  in

S. 6359--C                         12

the  same  manner  as  under section fifty-seven of the internal revenue
code,
  (2) determined with the federal adjustments described in paragraph (c)
of  this  subdivision, which adjustments shall have the same meaning and
be computed in the same manner as under sections  fifty-six  and  fifty-
eight of the internal revenue code,
  (3)  increased  by  the net operating loss deduction otherwise allowed
under paragraph (f) of subdivision nine of this section, and
  (4) reduced, for taxable years beginning after nineteen hundred  nine-
ty-three, by the alternative net operating loss deduction, as defined in
paragraph (d) of this subdivision.
  (b)  The federal items of tax preference referred to hereinabove shall
be modified by deducting "tax-exempt interest" and "accelerated depreci-
ation or amortization on certain property placed in service before Janu-
ary  1,  1987",  as  determined  under  paragraphs  five  and  seven  of
subsection (a) of section fifty-seven of the internal revenue code.
  (c) The adjustments referred to hereinabove shall be:
  (1) "Depreciation" as determined under paragraph one of subsection (a)
of  section fifty-six of the internal revenue code. For purposes of this
subparagraph, the depreciation item  of  adjustment  provided  for  here
shall  not include any amount attributable to property for which the tax
benefits of the accelerated cost recovery system are not available under
this article by reason of subparagraph ten of paragraph (b) of  subdivi-

  (8) "Adjusted basis", as it appears in paragraph seven  of  subsection
(a)  of  section  fifty-six  of  the  internal revenue code, but without
taking  into  account  the  references  therein  to  paragraph  five  of
subsection (a) of section fifty-six of the internal revenue code.
  (d)  The term "alternative net operating loss deduction" means the net
operating loss deduction allowed for the taxable  year  under  paragraph
(f) of subdivision nine of this section, except as provided herein.
  (1)(A)  The  net  operating loss for any year beginning after nineteen
hundred eighty-nine which is  included  in  determining  such  deduction
shall be determined with the adjustments provided in subparagraph two of
paragraph  (a) of this subdivision, and shall be reduced by the items of
tax preference determined under subparagraph one  of  paragraph  (a)  of
this  subdivision,  attributable to such year. An item of tax preference
shall be taken into account only to the extent such item  increased  the

S. 6359--C                         13

amount  of  the  net operating loss for the taxable year under paragraph
(f) of subdivision nine of this section.
  (B)  In the case of loss years beginning before nineteen hundred nine-
ty, the amount of the net operating loss which may be  carried  over  to
taxable  years  beginning  after  nineteen  hundred eighty-nine shall be
equal to an amount which may be carried from the loss year to the  first
taxable  year  of  the taxpayer beginning after nineteen hundred eighty-
nine.
  (2) In determining the amount of such  deduction,  loss  carryforwards
and  carrybacks shall, subject to the provisions of subparagraph five of
paragraph (f) of subdivision nine of this section, be  computed  in  the
manner  set  forth  in  paragraph  two  of subsection (b) of section one
hundred seventy-two of the internal revenue code, except that,  for  the
reference  therein  to  taxable  income,  there shall be substituted the
phrase "ninety percent of  minimum  taxable  income  determined  without
regard to the alternative net operating loss deduction".
  (3)  The  amount  of such deduction shall not exceed ninety percent of
minimum taxable income determined  without  regard  to  such  deduction,
provided,  however,  the  term "ninety percent" shall be read as "forty-
five percent" with  respect  to  taxable  years  beginning  in  nineteen
hundred ninety-four.
  (e)  The  tax  commission may, whenever necessary in order to properly
reflect the minimum taxable income of any taxpayer, determine  the  year
or  period  in  which any item of income or deduction shall be included,
without regard to the method of accounting employed by the taxpayer.
  (f) If the period covered by a report under this article is other than
the period covered by the report to the United States  treasury  depart-
ment,  the minimum taxable income shall be appropriately modified pursu-
ant to regulations promulgated by the tax commission.]
  9. The term "entire net income" means total net income from all sourc-
es, which shall be presumably the same  as  the  entire  taxable  income

to report  to  the  United  States  treasury  department  but  for  such

two hundred ten of this article] OR

income  described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this subparagraph in
the case of taxpayers not described in the previous sentence.
  (2) A taxpayer is qualified under this subparagraph  if  air  carriers
organized  in  the United States and operating in the foreign country or
countries in which the taxpayer has its major base of operations and  in
which  it  is  organized,  resident or headquartered (if not in the same
country as its major base of operations) are not subject to  any  income
tax  or  other tax based on or measured by income or receipts imposed by
such foreign country or countries or any political subdivision  thereof,
or  if  so  subject to such tax, are provided an exemption from such tax
equivalent to that provided for herein.
  (c-2) Adjustments by qualified public utilities. (1) In the case of  a
taxpayer which is a qualified public utility, entire net income shall be
computed with the adjustments set forth in this paragraph.
  (2)  Definitions.  (A)  Qualified  public utility. The term "qualified
public utility" means a taxpayer which: (i)  on  December  thirty-first,
nineteen  hundred ninety-nine, was subject to the ratemaking supervision
of the state department of public service, and (ii) for the year  ending
on  December  thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-nine, was subject to
tax under former section one hundred eighty-six of this chapter.
  (B) Transition property. The term "transition property" means property
placed in service by the taxpayer before January  first,  two  thousand,
for  which a depreciation deduction is allowed under section one hundred

erty,  the  deduction  for  federal income tax purposes for depreciation
shall not be allowed.
  (4) New York depreciation. With  respect  to  transition  property,  a
deduction  shall  be  allowed  for the depreciation expense shown on the
books and records of the taxpayer for the taxable year and determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
  (5) Regulatory assets. A deduction shall be allowed for amounts recog-
nized as expense on the books and records of the taxpayer for the  taxa-
ble  year,  which  amounts were recognized as expense for federal income
tax purposes in a taxable year ending  on  or  before  December  thirty-
first,  nineteen  hundred ninety-nine, where: (A) such amounts represent
expenditures which, when made, were charged to a deferred debit  account
or  similar  asset account on the books and records of the taxpayer, and
where (B) the recognition of expense on the books  and  records  of  the
taxpayer  is  matched by revenue stemming from a procedure or adjustment
allowing the recovery of such expenditures, and where (C)  such  revenue
is recognized for federal income tax purposes in the taxable year.
  (6)  Basis for gain or loss. (A) Recognition transactions. (i) General
rule - book basis. Except as provided in subclause (ii) of this  clause,
where  transition property is sold or otherwise disposed of in the taxa-
ble year in a transaction of the type requiring recognition of  gain  or
loss  for  federal  income  tax  purposes, the basis for determining the
amount of such gain or loss under this article shall be the cost of  the
property less the accumulated depreciation on the property determined on

S. 6359--C                         20

the  books  and  records  of  the  taxpayer in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
  (ii)  Qualified  gain  -  New  York basis. Where a sale or disposition
described in subclause (i) of this clause results in recognition of gain
for federal income tax purposes, and where either (I)  such  recognition
occurs  in  a taxable year ending after nineteen hundred ninety-nine and
before two thousand ten, or (II) such recognition is with respect  to  a
nuclear  electric  generating  facility,  the  basis for determining the
amount of such gain under this article shall be the cost of the property
less the aggregate of the New York depreciation deductions on the  prop-
erty determined under subparagraph four of this paragraph.
  (iii)  No  conversion  of  gain  to  loss. In the event that the basis
determined under subclause (ii) of this clause results in  determination
of  a  loss  on the sale or disposition of the property, no gain or loss
shall be recognized under this article with  respect  to  such  sale  or
disposition.
  (B)  Nonrecognition transactions. (i) Carryover basis. (I) where tran-
sition property is disposed of ("original disposition") in a transaction
of a type requiring deferral of recognition of gain or loss for  federal
income tax purposes, and where (II) there is a subsequent recognition of
gain  or loss for federal income tax purposes ("clause B gain or loss"),
the amount of which is determined by reference, in whole or in part,  to
the  basis  of  such transition property ("underlying transition proper-
ty"), then (III) the amount of such clause B gain  or  loss  under  this
article shall be adjusted as provided in subclause (ii) or (iii) of this
clause.
  (ii)  General  rule  -  book  basis  adjustment. Except as provided in
subclause (iii) of this clause, the amount of clause  B  gain  shall  be
reduced,  or  the  amount  of  clause B loss increased, by the amount by
which the book basis of the underlying transition property on  the  date
of  original  disposition  (determined using the provisions of subclause
(i) of clause (A) of this subparagraph) exceeds the federal  income  tax
basis of such property on such date.
  (iii)  Qualified gain - New York basis adjustment. Where clause B gain
either (I) occurs in a taxable year ending after nineteen hundred  nine-
ty-nine and before two thousand ten, or (II) is with respect to a nucle-
ar  electric  generating  facility,  the  amount of such gain under this
article shall be reduced, but not below zero, by the amount by which the
New York basis of the underlying transition  property  on  the  date  of
original  disposition (determined using the provisions of subclause (ii)
of clause (A) of this subparagraph) exceeds the federal income tax basis
of such property on such date.
  (iv) Application to replacement  property  and  transferee  taxpayers.
This  clause  shall apply whether the clause B gain or loss: (I) is with
respect to either transition property or depreciable property the  basis
of  which  is determined by reference to transition property, or (II) is
recognized by either a qualified public utility or by a  taxpayer  which
is  a  transferee of transition property (whether or not such transferee
is a qualified public utility, notwithstanding subparagraph one of  this
paragraph).

means  a  taxpayer which: (i) on December thirty-first, nineteen hundred
ninety-nine, was not subject to the ratemaking supervision of the  state
department  of  public service, and (ii) for the year ending on December
thirty-first,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-nine,  was subject to tax under
former section one hundred eighty-six of this chapter on account of  its
being principally engaged in the business of supplying electricity.
  (C) Qualified pipeline. The term "qualified pipeline" means a taxpayer
which:  (i)  on December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-nine, was
subject to the ratemaking supervision of either the federal energy regu-
latory commission or the state department of public  service,  and  (ii)
for  the  year ending on December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-
nine, was subject to tax under sections one hundred eighty-three and one
hundred eighty-four of this chapter on account of its being  principally
engaged in the business of pipeline transmission.
  (D) Transition property. The term "transition property" means property
placed  in  service  by  a  qualified taxpayer before January first, two
thousand, for which a depreciation deduction is  allowed  under  section
one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code.
  (3)  Federal depreciation disallowed. With respect to transition prop-
erty, the deduction for federal income  tax  purposes  for  depreciation
shall not be allowed.
  (4)  New  York  depreciation.  With  respect to transition property, a
deduction shall be allowed for  the  depreciation  expense  computed  as
provided  in this subparagraph. (A) All transition property shown on the
books and records of the taxpayer on January first, two  thousand  shall
be  treated  as  a  single asset placed in service on such date. The New
York basis for purposes of computing the depreciation deduction on  such
single  asset  shall  be  the net book value of such transition property
determined on the first day of the federal taxable year  ending  in  two
thousand  (or  on  the  date  any such property is placed in service, if
later) adjusted as provided in clause (B) of this subparagraph.
  (B) If transition property is sold or otherwise disposed of,  the  New
York basis of the single asset shall be reduced on the date of such sale
or  disposition  by the amount of the adjusted federal tax basis of such
property on such date.
  (C) The New York depreciation deduction allowed for any  taxable  year
with  respect to such single asset shall be computed using the straight-
line method, a twenty-year life, and a salvage value of zero.
  (D) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "net book value" means
cost reduced by accumulated depreciation shown on the books and  records
of the taxpayer and determined, in the case of a qualified power produc-
er,  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; and in
the case of a qualified pipeline,  in  accordance  with  the  taxpayer's
regulatory  reports  filed with the federal energy regulatory commission
or state department of public service.
  (d) The [tax commission] COMMISSIONER may, whenever necessary in order
properly to reflect the entire net income of any taxpayer, determine the
year or period in which  any  item  of  income  or  deduction  shall  be
included,  without  regard  to  the method of accounting employed by the
taxpayer[;].
  (e) The entire net income of any bridge commission created by  act  of
congress  to  construct  a bridge across an international boundary means
its gross income less the expense of maintaining and operating its prop-
erties, the annual interest upon its bonds and  other  obligations,  and

S. 6359--C                         22

the  annual  charge  for  the retirement of such bonds or obligations at
maturity[;].
  [(f)  A  net  operating loss deduction shall be allowed which shall be
presumably the same as the net operating loss  deduction  allowed  under
section  one  hundred seventy-two of the internal revenue code, or which
would have been allowed if the taxpayer had not made an  election  under
subchapter s of chapter one of the internal revenue code, except that in
every instance where such deduction is allowed under this article:
  (1)  any  net  operating  loss  included in determining such deduction
shall be adjusted to reflect the inclusions and exclusions  from  entire
net income required by paragraphs (a), (b) and (g) hereof,
  (2)  such deduction shall not include any net operating loss sustained
during any taxable year  beginning  prior  to  January  first,  nineteen
hundred  sixty-one, or during any taxable year in which the taxpayer was
not subject to the tax imposed by this article,
  (3) such deduction shall not exceed the deduction for the taxable year
allowed under section one hundred seventy-two of  the  internal  revenue
code,  or  the  deduction  for  the  taxable  year which would have been
allowed if the taxpayer had not made an election under subchapter  s  of
chapter one of the internal revenue code,
  (4)  in the case of a New York S corporation, such deduction shall not
include any net operating loss sustained during a New  York  C  year  or
during a New York S year beginning prior to nineteen hundred ninety, and
in  the  case  of  a  New  York  C corporation, such deduction shall not
include any net operating loss sustained  during  a  New  York  S  year,
provided,  however, a New York S year shall be treated as a taxable year
for purposes of determining the number of taxable years to which  a  net
operating loss may be carried back or carried forward, and
  (5) the net operating loss deduction allowed under section one hundred
seventy-two  of  the  internal  revenue  code shall for purposes of this
paragraph be determined as  if  the  taxpayer  had  elected  under  such
section  to  relinquish  the entire carryback period with respect to net
operating losses, except with respect to the first ten thousand  dollars
of each of such losses, sustained during taxable years ending after June
thirtieth, nineteen hundred eighty-nine.
  (g)  For  taxable  years  commencing  prior to January first, nineteen
hundred eighty-seven, at the election of the taxpayer, a deduction shall
be allowed for expenditures paid or incurred during the taxable year for
the construction, reconstruction,  erection  or  improvement  of  either
industrial  waste  treatment facilities or air pollution control facili-
ties, or, with respect to taxable years beginning on  or  after  January
first, nineteen hundred seventy-seven and before January first, nineteen
hundred eighty-one, industrial waste treatment controlled process facil-
ities or air pollution controlled process facilities.
  (1)  (A)  (1)  The  term "industrial waste treatment facilities" shall
mean facilities for the treatment, neutralization  or  stabilization  of
industrial  waste  and other wastes (as the terms "industrial waste" and
"other wastes" are defined  in  section  17-0105  of  the  environmental
conservation  law)  from a point immediately preceding the point of such
treatment, neutralization or stabilization to  the  point  of  disposal,
including the necessary pumping and transmitting facilities.
  (2)  The term "industrial waste treatment controlled process facility"
shall mean such portion of the cost of an industrial production facility
designed for the purpose of obviating  the  need  for  industrial  waste
treatment  facilities  as  defined  in  item one of this clause as shall
exceed the cost of an industrial production facility of equal production

S. 6359--C                         23

capacity which if constructed would require industrial  waste  treatment
facilities  to meet emission standards in compliance with the provisions
of the environmental conservation law and the codes, rules, regulations,
permits  or orders issued pursuant thereto but only to the extent of the
cost of such industrial waste treatment facilities.
  (B) (1) The term "air pollution control facilities" shall mean facili-
ties which remove, reduce, or render less noxious air contaminants emit-
ted from an air contamination source (as the terms "air contaminant" and
"air contamination source" are defined in section 19-0107 of  the  envi-
ronmental conservation law) from a point immediately preceding the point
of  such  removal,  reduction  or rendering to the point of discharge of
air, meeting emission standards as  established  by  the  department  of
environmental  conservation, but excluding such facilities installed for
the primary purpose of salvaging materials which are usable in the manu-
facturing process or are marketable and excluding those facilities which
rely for their efficacy on dilution, dispersion or assimilation  of  air
contaminants  in the ambient air after emission. Such term shall further
include flue gas desulfurization equipment and attendant sludge disposal
facilities, fluidized bed boilers, precombustion coal  cleaning  facili-
ties  or  other  facilities that conform with this subdivision and which
comply with the provisions of the state acid deposition control act  set
forth  in  title nine of article nineteen of the environmental conserva-
tion law.
  (2) The term "air pollution controlled process  facility"  shall  mean
such  portion  of the cost of an industrial production facility designed
for the purpose of obviating the need for air pollution control  facili-
ties  as  defined in item one of this clause as shall exceed the cost of
an industrial production facility of equal productive capacity which  if
constructed  would  require  air  pollution  control facilities to inert
emission standards as established pursuant to  title  three  of  article
nineteen of the environmental conservation law but only to the extent of
the cost of such air pollution control facilities.
  (2) However, such deduction shall be allowed only
  (A)  with  respect to tangible property which is depreciable, pursuant
to section one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code,  having
a  situs in this state and used in the taxpayer's trade or business, the
construction, reconstruction, erection or improvement of which,  in  the
case  of industrial waste treatment facilities, is initiated on or after
January first, nineteen hundred sixty-five or which, in the case of  air
pollution  control  facilities,  is initiated on or after January first,
nineteen hundred sixty-six, or which in the  case  of  industrial  waste
treatment  controlled  process  facilities  or  air pollution controlled
process facilities is initiated on and  after  January  first,  nineteen
hundred seventy-seven, and
  (B) on condition that such facilities have been certified by the state
commissioner  of  environmental conservation or his designated represen-
tative, pursuant to section 19-0309 of  the  environmental  conservation
law,  as  complying  with  applicable  provisions  of  the environmental
conservation law, the public health law, the  state  sanitary  code  and
codes,  rules,  regulations,  permits or orders issued pursuant thereto,
and
  (C) on condition that entire net income for the taxable year  and  all
succeeding  taxable  years  be  computed without any deductions for such
expenditures or for depreciation or amortization of  the  same  property
other  than  the deductions allowed by this paragraph (g), except to the
extent that the basis of the property may  be  attributable  to  factors

S. 6359--C                         24

other than such expenditures, or in case a deduction is allowable pursu-
ant to this paragraph for only a part of such expenditures, on condition
that  any  deduction  allowed  for  federal income tax purposes for such
expenditures or for depreciation or amortization of the same property be
proportionately  reduced  in computing entire net income for the taxable
year and all succeeding taxable years, and
  (D) where the election provided for in paragraph  (d)  of  subdivision
three  of section two hundred ten of this chapter has not been exercised
in respect to the same property.
  (3) (A) If expenditures in respect to an  industrial  waste  treatment
facility,  an air pollution control facility, an industrial waste treat-
ment controlled process facility or an air pollution controlled  process
facility  have  been deducted as provided herein and if within ten years
from the end of the taxable year in which  such  deduction  was  allowed
such  property  or  any  part thereof is used for the primary purpose of
salvaging materials which are usable in the manufacturing process or are
marketable, the taxpayer shall report such change of use in  its  report
for  the  first taxable year during which it occurs, and the tax commis-
sion may recompute the  tax  for  the  year  or  years  for  which  such
deduction  was  allowed  and  any  carryback  or carryover year, and may
assess any additional tax resulting from such recomputation  within  the
time  fixed  by  paragraph nine of subsection (c) of section ten hundred
eighty-three of this chapter.
  (B) If a deduction is allowed as herein provided for expenditures paid
or incurred during any taxable year on the basis of a temporary  certif-
icate  of  compliance  issued pursuant to the environmental conservation
law and if the taxpayer fails  to  obtain  a  permanent  certificate  of
compliance  upon completion of the facilities with respect to which such
temporary certificate was issued, the taxpayer shall report such failure
in its report for the taxable year  during  which  such  facilities  are
completed,  and the tax commission may recompute the tax for the year or
years for which such deduction was allowed and any carryback  or  carry-
over  year,  and  may  assess  any additional tax resulting from in such
recomputation within the time fixed by paragraph nine of subsection  (c)
of section ten hundred eighty-three.
  (C) If a deduction is allowed as herein provided for expenditures paid
or  incurred  during  any  taxable  year  in respect to an air pollution
control facility on the basis of  a  certificate  of  compliance  issued
pursuant  to  the  environmental conservation law and the certificate is
revoked pursuant to subdivision three of section 19-0309 of the environ-
mental conservation law, the tax commission may recompute  the  tax  for
the year or years for which the facility is not or was not in compliance
with  the  applicable  provisions of the environmental conservation law,
the state sanitary code or codes, rules, regulations, permits or  orders
promulgated  pursuant thereto, and for which a deduction was allowed, as
well as for any carryback or carryover year to which such deduction  was
carried,  and may assess any additional tax resulting from such recompu-
tation within the time fixed by paragraph  nine  of  subsection  (c)  of
section ten hundred eighty-three.
  (4)  In  any  taxable year when property is sold or otherwise disposed
of, with respect to which a deduction has been allowed pursuant to  this
paragraph,  such  deduction  shall  be  disregarded in computing gain or
loss, and the gain or loss on the sale  or  other  disposition  of  such
property  shall  be  the  gain  or loss entering into the computation of
entire taxable income which the taxpayer is required to  report  to  the
United States treasury department for such taxable year.]

S. 6359--C                         25

  (h) If the period covered by a report under this article is other than
the  period  covered by the report to the United States treasury depart-
ment,
  (1)  except  as provided in subparagraph two hereof, entire net income
shall be determined by multiplying the taxable income reported  to  such
department  (as  adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this article) by
the number of calendar months or major  parts  thereof  covered  by  the
report  under this article and dividing by the number of calendar months
or major parts thereof covered by the report to such department.  If  it
shall  appear that such method of determining entire net income does not
properly reflect the taxpayer's income during the period covered by  the
report  under  this  article, the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER shall be
authorized in its discretion to determine such entire net income  solely
on  the  basis of the taxpayer's income during the period covered by its
report under this article[;].
  (2) [in] IN the case of a  New  York  S  termination  year,  an  equal
portion of entire net income shall be assigned to each day of such year.
The  portion  of  such entire net income thereby assigned to the S short
year and the C short year shall be included in  the  respective  reports
for  the  S short year and the C short year under this article. However,
where paragraph three of subsection (s) of section six hundred twelve of
this chapter applies, the portion of such entire net income assigned  to
the  S  short year and the C short year shall be determined under normal
tax accounting rules.
  (i) With respect to a DISC which during any taxable year or  reporting
year  (1)  received  more  than five percent of its gross sales from the
sale of inventory or other property which it purchased from  its  stock-
holders,  (2)  received more than five percent of its gross rentals from
the rental of property which it purchased or rented from its  stockhold-
ers  or  (3) received more than five percent of its total receipts other
than sales and rentals from its stockholders, the  following  provisions
shall apply.
  (A)  For any taxable year in which sub-paragraph (B) of this paragraph
is in effect and not rendered invalid, a DISC  meeting  the  above  test
shall be exempt from all taxes imposed by this article.
  (B)  Supplemental to the provisions of subdivision five of section two
hundred eleven of this article, any taxpayer required to compute  a  tax
under  this  article, which during the taxable year being reported was a
stockholder in any DISC meeting the test prescribed in  this  paragraph,
shall  for any taxable year ending after December thirty-first, nineteen
hundred seventy-one adjust each item of its receipts,  expenses,  assets
and  liabilities,  as  otherwise  computed under this article, by adding
thereto its attributable share of each such DISC's  receipts,  expenses,
assets  and  liabilities  as  reportable by each such DISC to the United
States Treasury Department for its annual reporting period ending during
the current taxable year of such taxpayer; provided, however,  (1)  that
all transactions between the taxpayer and each such DISC shall be elimi-
nated  from  the  taxpayer's  adjusted  receipts,  expenses,  assets and
liabilities; (2) that the taxpayer's  entire  net  income  as  otherwise
computed  under this section, shall be reduced by subtracting the amount
of the deemed distribution of current income, if  any,  from  each  such
DISC  already  included  in  the  entire  net income of such taxpayer by
virtue of having been included in its entire  taxable  income  for  that
taxable  year  as reported to the United States Treasury Department; and
(3) that in the event this paragraph should  be  rendered  invalid,  all

S. 6359--C                         26

DISC's  and  their stockholders taxable hereunder shall be taxed instead
under the remaining portions of this article.
  (j)  in the case of property placed in service in taxable years begin-
ning before nineteen hundred ninety-four, for  taxable  years  beginning
after  December  thirty-first,  nineteen hundred eighty-one, except with
respect to property subject to the provisions  of  section  two  hundred
eighty-F  of  the  internal  revenue  code  and  property subject to the
provisions of section one hundred sixty-eight of  the  internal  revenue
code which is placed in service in this state in taxable years beginning
after  December thirty-first, nineteen hundred eighty-four, and provided
a deduction has not been excluded from entire  net  income  pursuant  to
subparagraph  eight  of  paragraph  (b)  of this subdivision, a taxpayer
shall be allowed with respect  to  property  which  is  subject  to  the
provisions  of  section  one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue
code the depreciation deduction  allowable  under  section  one  hundred
sixty-seven  of  the  internal  revenue  code as such section would have
applied to property placed in service on December thirty-first, nineteen
hundred eighty. This paragraph shall not apply to property of a taxpayer
principally engaged in the conduct of aviation (other than  air  freight
forwarders  acting as principal and like indirect air carriers) which is
placed in service before taxable years  beginning  in  nineteen  hundred
eighty-nine.
  (k)  QSSS.  (1)  New  York  S corporation. In the case of a New York S
corporation which is the parent of a qualified subchapter  S  subsidiary
(QSSS) with respect to a taxable year:
  (A) where the QSSS is not an excluded corporation,
  (i)  in  determining the entire net income of such parent corporation,
all assets, liabilities, income and deductions  of  the  QSSS  shall  be

corporation, and
  (ii) the QSSS shall be exempt from all taxes imposed by this  article,

which is the parent of a QSSS with respect to a taxable year:
  (A) where the QSSS is a taxpayer,
  (i) in determining the entire net income of such  parent  corporation,
all  assets,  liabilities,  income  and  deductions of the QSSS shall be
treated as assets, liabilities, income  and  deductions  of  the  parent
corporation, and
  (ii)  the QSSS shall be exempt from all taxes imposed by this article,
and
  (B) where the QSSS is not a taxpayer,
  (i) if the QSSS is not an excluded corporation, the parent corporation
may make a QSSS inclusion election to include all  assets,  liabilities,
income  and  deductions  of  the QSSS as assets, liabilities, income and
deductions of the parent corporation, and
  (ii) in the absence of such election, or where the QSSS is an excluded
corporation, the entire net income of the parent  corporation  shall  be
determined as if the federal QSSS election had not been made.
  (3)  Non-New  York  S  corporation  not  excluded. In the case of an S
corporation which is not a taxpayer and not an excluded corporation, and
which is the parent of a QSSS which is a taxpayer, the  shareholders  of

the parent corporation shall be entitled to make the New York S election
under subsection (a) of section six hundred sixty of this chapter.

parent corporation shall be subject to tax under this article as  a  New
York S corporation, and the provisions of clause (A) of subparagraph one
of this paragraph shall apply.
  (B) For any taxable year for which such election is not in effect, the
QSSS shall be a New York C corporation, and the entire net income of the
QSSS  shall  be  determined as if the federal QSSS election had not been
made. For purposes of such determination, the taxable year of the parent
corporation shall constitute the taxable year of  the  QSSS,  excluding,
however, any portion of such year during which the QSSS is not a taxpay-
er.
  (4)  S  corporation excluded. In the case of an S corporation which is
an excluded corporation and which is the parent of a  QSSS  which  is  a
taxpayer,  the QSSS shall be a New York C corporation and the provisions
of clause (B) of subparagraph three of this paragraph shall apply.

corporation  subject  to  tax  under  sections  one hundred eighty-three
through one hundred eighty-six, inclusive, or  article  [thirty-two  or]

clause (B) of subparagraph two of this paragraph shall be effective  for
the  taxable year for which made and for all succeeding taxable years of
the corporation until such election is terminated. An election or termi-
nation shall be made on such form and in such manner as the commissioner
may prescribe by regulation or instruction.
  (l) Emerging technology investment deferral. In the case of  any  sale
of a qualified emerging technologies investment held for more than thir-
ty-six months and with respect to which the taxpayer elects the applica-
tion  of this paragraph, gain from such sale shall be recognized only to
the extent that the amount realized on such sale exceeds the cost of any
qualified emerging technologies investment  purchased  by  the  taxpayer
during  the three hundred sixty-five-day period beginning on the date of
such sale, reduced by any portion of such  cost  previously  taken  into
account under this paragraph. For purposes of this paragraph the follow-
ing shall apply:
  (1)  A  qualified investment is stock of a corporation or an interest,
other than as a creditor, in a partnership or limited liability  company
that was acquired by the taxpayer as provided in Internal Revenue Code S
1202(c)(1)(B),  except  that  the  reference to the term "stock" in such
section shall be read as "investment," or by the taxpayer from a  person
who had acquired such stock or interest in such a manner.
  (2)  A qualified emerging technology investment is a qualified invest-
ment, that was held by the taxpayer for at least thirty-six months, in a
company defined in paragraph (c) of subdivision one of  section  thirty-
one  hundred  two-e  of the public authorities law or an investment in a
partnership or limited liability company that is taxed as a  partnership
to the extent that such partnership or limited liability company invests
in qualified emerging technology companies.

S. 6359--C                         28

  (3)  For  purposes  of  determining whether the nonrecognition of gain
under this subsection  applies  to  a  qualified  emerging  technologies
investment  that is sold, the taxpayer's holding period for such invest-
ment  and  the  qualified  emerging  technologies  investment  that   is
purchased  shall be determined without regard to Internal Revenue Code S
1223.
  (m) Amounts deferred. The amount deferred under paragraph (l) of  this
subdivision shall be added to entire net income when the reinvestment in
the  New  York  qualified  emerging technology company which qualified a
taxpayer for such deferral is sold.
  [(n) Qualified gas transportation contracts.
  (1) Any tax paid under this article allocable to receipts attributable
to a "qualified gas transportation contract" shall  be  deemed  to  have
been paid under article nine of this chapter for all purposes of law for
taxable  years  commencing  on  or  after  January  first, two thousand,
computed as hereinafter provided, if all of the following conditions are
met:
  (i) For periods ending prior  to  January  first,  two  thousand,  the
taxpayer  paid  the  franchise tax due under section one hundred eighty-
four of this chapter.
  (ii) For the taxable year, all  of  the  receipts  from  the  pipeline
transportation  of natural gas attributable to the taxpayer and included
in the taxpayer's entire net income (without regard to  this  paragraph)
are  solely from the transportation of natural gas for wholesale custom-
ers and commercial retail customers.
  (iii) The taxpayer's franchise tax liability under  this  article  for
the  taxable  year (computed without regard to this paragraph) is deter-
mined under paragraph (a) of subdivision one of section two hundred  ten
of  this  article,  and such tax liability (without regard to this para-
graph) is greater than the liability the taxpayer  would  have  incurred
under  sections  one hundred eighty-three and one hundred eighty-four of
this chapter (as such sections existed on December  thirty-first,  nine-
teen hundred ninety-nine) based on the same taxable period.
  (iv)  The  taxpayer  is  a  party  to  a "qualified gas transportation
contract," as defined herein.
  (2) The provisions of this paragraph shall apply only for the  taxable
years during which such qualified gas transportation contract is in full
force  and  effect, and shall apply only to the receipts of the taxpayer
less any expenses of the taxpayer (but not less than zero),  during  the
taxable  year,  to  the  extent included in entire net income, which are
attributable  to  any  such  qualified  gas  transportation   contracts.
Provided,  further,  in  any event, the characterization hereunder shall
expire and be of no further force and effect for taxable years  commenc-
ing on or after January first, two thousand fifteen.
  (3)  The  term  "qualified  gas  transportation contract" shall mean a
service agreement for the transportation of natural gas for an  end-user
which  is a qualified cogeneration facility with a rated capacity of one
thousand megawatts or more, which (i) was entered  into  before  January
first, two thousand, and was in full force and effect and binding on the
parties  thereto as of such date, (ii) as originally executed, was for a
term of at least twenty years, and (iii) the terms of which prohibit the
pass-through to such customer of the franchise tax  imposed  under  this
article,  while  allowing the recovery of the gross earnings tax imposed
under section one hundred eighty-four of this chapter. A contract  shall
not  qualify as a qualified gas transportation contract if there is: (i)
any renewal or extension of an otherwise  qualified  gas  transportation

S. 6359--C                         29

contract  occurring on or after January first, two thousand, or (ii) any
material amendment to, or supplementation of, an otherwise qualified gas
transportation contract on or after such date. Such renewal,  extension,
or  material  amendment or supplementation shall have the same force and
effect of terminating the characterization hereunder as if the  qualify-
ing contract had expired by its own terms.
  (o)]  (N-1)  For  taxable years beginning after December thirty-first,
two thousand two, in the case of qualified property described  in  para-
graph  two  of subsection k of section 168 of the internal revenue code,
other than qualified resurgence zone property described in paragraph (q)
of this subdivision, and other than  qualified  New  York  Liberty  Zone
property  described in paragraph two of subsection b of section 1400L of
the internal revenue code (without regard to clause (i) of  subparagraph
(C)  of  such  paragraph),  which was placed in service on or after June
first, two thousand three, a taxpayer shall be allowed with  respect  to
such  property the depreciation deduction allowable under section 167 of
the internal revenue code as such section would  have  applied  to  such
property  had  it  been acquired by the taxpayer on September tenth, two
thousand one.
  (o) Related members expense add back.  (1)  Definitions.  (A)  Related
member.  "Related  member" means a related person as defined in subpara-
graph (c) of paragraph three of subsection (b) of section  four  hundred
sixty-five  of  the  internal  revenue code, except that "fifty percent"
shall be substituted for "ten percent".
  (B) Effective rate of tax. "Effective rate of tax" means,  as  to  any
state  or  U.S. possession, the maximum statutory rate of tax imposed by
the state or possession on or measured by a related member's net  income
multiplied  by  the  apportionment percentage, if any, applicable to the
related member under the laws of said jurisdiction. For purposes of this
definition, the effective rate of tax as to any state or U.S. possession
is zero where the related member's net  income  tax  liability  in  said
jurisdiction  is reported on a combined or consolidated return including
both the taxpayer and the related member where the reported transactions
between the taxpayer and the related member are  eliminated  or  offset.
Also, for purposes of this definition, when computing the effective rate
of  tax  for  a  jurisdiction  in which a related member's net income is
eliminated or offset by a credit or similar adjustment that is dependent
upon the related member either maintaining or managing intangible  prop-
erty  or  collecting  interest  income in that jurisdiction, the maximum
statutory rate of tax imposed by said jurisdiction shall be decreased to
reflect the statutory rate of tax that applies to the related member  as
effectively reduced by such credit or similar adjustment.
  (C) Royalty payments. Royalty payments are payments directly connected
to  the  acquisition,  use,  maintenance or management, ownership, sale,
exchange, or any other disposition of licenses, trademarks,  copyrights,
trade  names,  trade  dress,  service  marks, mask works, trade secrets,
patents and any other similar types of intangible assets  as  determined
by   the   commissioner,  and  include  amounts  allowable  as  interest
deductions under section one hundred sixty-three of the internal revenue
code to the extent such amounts are directly or indirectly for,  related
to  or  in  connection with the acquisition, use, maintenance or manage-
ment, ownership,  sale,  exchange  or  disposition  of  such  intangible
assets.
  (D)  Valid  Business  Purpose. A valid business purpose is one or more
business purposes, other than the avoidance or  reduction  of  taxation,
which alone or in combination constitute the primary motivation for some

S. 6359--C                         30

business  activity or transaction, which activity or transaction changes
in a meaningful way, apart from tax effects, the  economic  position  of
the taxpayer. The economic position of the taxpayer includes an increase
in  the  market share of the taxpayer, or the entry by the taxpayer into
new business markets.
  (2) Royalty expense add backs. (A) Except where a taxpayer is included
in a combined report with a related member pursuant to [subdivision four
of] section two hundred [eleven] TEN-C of this article, for the  purpose
of  computing  entire  net  income  or other applicable taxable basis, a
taxpayer must add back royalty payments  directly  or  indirectly  paid,
accrued,  or  incurred in connection with one or more direct or indirect
transactions with one or more related members during the taxable year to
the extent deductible in calculating federal taxable income.
  (B) Exceptions. (i) The adjustment required in  this  paragraph  shall
not apply to the portion of the royalty payment that the taxpayer estab-
lishes,  by  clear  and  convincing evidence of the type and in the form
specified by the commissioner, meets all of the following  requirements:
(I) the related member was subject to tax in this state or another state
or  possession of the United States or a foreign nation or some combina-
tion thereof on a tax base  that  included  the  royalty  payment  paid,
accrued  or incurred by the taxpayer; (II) the related member during the
same taxable year directly or indirectly paid, accrued or incurred  such
portion  to  a person that is not a related member; and (III) the trans-
action giving rise to the royalty payment between the taxpayer  and  the
related member was undertaken for a valid business purpose.
  (ii)  The adjustment required in this paragraph shall not apply if the
taxpayer establishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the  type  and
in  the form specified by the commissioner, that: (I) the related member
was subject to tax on or measured by its net income  in  this  state  or
another  state  or  possession  of the United States or some combination
thereof; (II) the tax base for said tax  included  the  royalty  payment
paid,  accrued  or  incurred  by  the  taxpayer; and (III) the aggregate
effective rate of tax applied to the related member in  those  jurisdic-
tions  is  no less than eighty percent of the statutory rate of tax that
applied to the taxpayer under section two hundred ten  of  this  article
for the taxable year.
  (iii) The adjustment required in this paragraph shall not apply if the
taxpayer  establishes,  by clear and convincing evidence of the type and
in the form specified by the commissioner, that: (I) the royalty payment
was paid, accrued or incurred to a related member  organized  under  the
laws  of  a  country  other  than  the  United  States; (II) the related
member's income from the transaction  was  subject  to  a  comprehensive
income  tax treaty between such country and the United States; (III) the
related member was subject to tax in a foreign nation on a tax base that
included the royalty payment paid, accrued or incurred by the  taxpayer;
(IV)  the related member's income from the transaction was taxed in such
country at an effective rate of tax at least equal to  that  imposed  by
this  state;  and  (V) the royalty payment was paid, accrued or incurred
pursuant to a transaction that  was  undertaken  for  a  valid  business
purpose and using terms that reflect an arm's length relationship.
  (iv)  The adjustment required in this paragraph shall not apply if the
taxpayer and the commissioner agree in writing to the application or use
of alternative adjustments or computations. The commissioner may, in his
or her discretion, agree  to  the  application  or  use  of  alternative
adjustments or computations when he or she concludes that in the absence

S. 6359--C                         31

of  such  agreement  the  income  of  the taxpayer would not be properly
reflected.
  (p) For taxable years beginning after December thirty-first, two thou-
sand  two,  upon  the  disposition  of property to which paragraph [(o)]
(N-1) of this subdivision applies, the amount of any gain or loss inclu-
dible in entire net income shall be adjusted to reflect  the  inclusions
and exclusions from entire net income pursuant to subparagraph seventeen
of  paragraph  (a)  and  subparagraph seventeen of paragraph (b) of this
subdivision attributable to such property.
  (q) For purposes of paragraphs [(o)] (N-1) and (p)  of  this  subdivi-
sion,  qualified  resurgence zone property shall mean qualified property
described in paragraph two of subsection k of section 168 of the  inter-
nal  revenue code substantially all of the use of which is in the resur-
gence zone, as defined below, and is in the active conduct of a trade or
business by the taxpayer in such zone, and the original use of which  in
the  resurgence  zone commences with the taxpayer after December thirty-
first, two thousand two. The resurgence zone shall mean the area of  New
York county bounded on the south by a line running from the intersection
of  the Hudson River with the Holland Tunnel, and running thence east to
Canal Street, then running along the centerline of Canal Street  to  the
intersection  of the Bowery and Canal Street, running thence in a south-
easterly direction diagonally across  Manhattan  Bridge  Plaza,  to  the
Manhattan Bridge and thence along the centerline of the Manhattan Bridge
to  the  point where the centerline of the Manhattan Bridge would inter-
sect with the easterly bank of the East River, and bounded on the  north
by  a  line  running  from the intersection of the Hudson River with the
Holland Tunnel and running thence north along West Avenue to the  inter-
section  of  Clarkson  Street  then running east along the centerline of
Clarkson Street to the intersection of Washington Avenue,  then  running
south  along  the centerline of Washington Avenue to the intersection of
West Houston Street, then east along  the  centerline  of  West  Houston
Street,  then at the intersection of the Avenue of the Americas continu-
ing east along the centerline of East Houston  Street  to  the  easterly
bank of the East River.

section, such automatic extension shall be allowed only  if  a  taxpayer
files with the commissioner an application for extension in such form as
said  commissioner may prescribe by regulation and pays on or before the
date of such filing in addition to any other amounts required under this
article, either ninety percent of the entire tax surcharge  required  to
be  paid  under this section for the applicable period, or not less than
the tax surcharge shown on the taxpayer's return for the preceding taxa-
ble year, if such preceding taxable year was a taxable  year  of  twelve
months;  provided,  however,  that in no event shall such amount be less
than the product of the following three amounts: (1) the  tax  surcharge
rate  in effect for the taxable year pursuant to subdivision one of this

the  time  the report is required to be filed, and such tax surcharge or
the balance thereof, imposed on any taxpayer which  ceases  to  exercise
its franchise or be subject to the tax surcharge imposed by this section

provisions of this article presently applicable are  applicable  to  the
tax surcharge imposed by this section.

  1.  The  tax imposed by subdivision one of section two hundred nine of
this chapter shall be: (A) in the case of each taxpayer other than a New
York S corporation or a qualified homeowners association,  the  [sum  of
(1) the] highest of the amounts prescribed in paragraphs (a), (b), [(c)]
and  (d) of this subdivision [and (2) the amount prescribed in paragraph
(e) of this subdivision], (B) in the case of  each  New  York  S  corpo-
ration,  the  amount  prescribed in paragraph [(g)] (D) of this subdivi-
sion, and (C) in the case of a  qualified  homeowners  association,  the
[sum  of (1) the] highest of the amounts prescribed in paragraphs (a)[,]
AND (b) [and (c)] of this subdivision [and (2) the amount prescribed  in
paragraph  (e) of this subdivision]. For purposes of this paragraph, the
term "qualified homeowners association" means a homeowners  association,
as  such term is defined in subsection (c) of section five hundred twen-
ty-eight of the internal revenue code without regard to subparagraph (E)
of paragraph one of such subsection (relating to elections to  be  taxed
pursuant  to  such section), which has no homeowners association taxable
income, as such term is defined  in  subsection  (d)  of  such  section.
Provided,  however, that in the case of a small business taxpayer (other
than a New York S corporation) as  defined  in  paragraph  (f)  of  this
subdivision, FOR TAXABLE YEARS BEGINNING BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOU-
SAND  SIXTEEN,  if the amount prescribed in such paragraph (b) is higher
than the amount prescribed in such paragraph (a) solely by reason of the

S. 6359--C                         45

application of the rate applicable to  small  business  taxpayers,  then
with  respect  to  such  taxpayer  the  tax  referred to in the previous
sentence shall be [the sum of (1) the highest]  HIGHER  of  the  amounts
prescribed in paragraphs (a)[, (c)] and (d) of this subdivision [and (2)
the amount prescribed in paragraph (e) of this subdivision].
  (a)  [Entire  net]  BUSINESS income base. [For taxable years beginning
before July first, nineteen hundred ninety-nine, the  amount  prescribed
by  this  paragraph shall be computed at the rate of nine percent of the
taxpayer's entire net income base. For  taxable  years  beginning  after
June  thirtieth, nineteen hundred ninety-nine and before July first, two
thousand, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be  computed  at
the  rate  of  eight  and  one-half percent of the taxpayer's entire net
income base. For taxable years beginning after June thirtieth, two thou-
sand and before July first, two thousand one, the amount  prescribed  by
this  paragraph  shall  be  computed at the rate of eight percent of the
taxpayer's entire net income base. For  taxable  years  beginning  after
June  thirtieth, two thousand one and before January first, two thousand
seven, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be computed at  the
rate  of  seven and one-half percent of the taxpayer's entire net income

two  thousand  [seven]  SIXTEEN, the amount prescribed by this paragraph
shall be computed at the rate of seven  and  one-tenth  percent  of  the
taxpayer's  [entire  net] BUSINESS income base. FOR TAXABLE YEARS BEGIN-
NING ON OR  AFTER  JANUARY  FIRST,  TWO  THOUSAND  SIXTEEN,  THE  AMOUNT
PRESCRIBED  BY  THIS  PARAGRAPH SHALL BE SIX AND ONE-HALF PERCENT OF THE
TAXPAYER'S BUSINESS INCOME BASE. The taxpayer's  [entire  net]  BUSINESS
income  base shall mean the portion of the taxpayer's [entire net] BUSI-
NESS income allocated within the state as hereinafter provided[, subject
to any modification required by paragraphs (d) and  (e)  of  subdivision
three of this section]. However, in the case of a small business taxpay-
er,  as  defined  in  paragraph  (f)  of  this  subdivision,  the amount
prescribed by this paragraph shall be computed pursuant to  subparagraph
(iv)  of this paragraph and in the case of a manufacturer, as defined in
subparagraph (vi) of this paragraph, the amount prescribed by this para-
graph shall be computed pursuant to subparagraph (vi) of this paragraph.
  [(i) if the entire net income base is not more than two hundred  thou-
sand  dollars,  (1) for taxable years beginning before July first, nine-
teen hundred ninety-nine, the amount  shall  be  eight  percent  of  the
entire net income base; (2) for taxable years beginning after June thir-
tieth,  nineteen hundred ninety-nine and before July first, two thousand
three, the amount shall be seven and one-half percent of the entire  net
income  base;  and (3) for taxable years beginning after June thirtieth,

  (ii)  if  the entire net income base is more than two hundred thousand
dollars but not over two hundred ninety thousand dollars, (1) for  taxa-
ble years beginning before July first, nineteen hundred ninety-nine, the
amount  shall  be  the  sum  of  (a)  sixteen thousand dollars, (b) nine
percent of the excess of the entire net income  base  over  two  hundred
thousand  dollars  and  (c) five percent of the excess of the entire net
income base over two hundred fifty thousand  dollars;  (2)  for  taxable
years  beginning  after June thirtieth, nineteen hundred ninety-nine and
before July first, two thousand, the amount shall  be  the  sum  of  (a)
fifteen  thousand  dollars, (b) eight and one-half percent of the excess
of the entire net income base over two hundred thousand dollars and  (c)
five  percent  of  the  excess  of  the  entire net income base over two

hundred fifty thousand dollars; (3) for taxable  years  beginning  after
June  thirtieth,  two  thousand and before July first, two thousand one,
the amount shall be the sum of (a) fifteen thousand dollars,  (b)  eight
percent  of  the  excess  of the entire net income base over two hundred
thousand dollars and (c) two and one-half percent of the excess  of  the
entire  net income base over two hundred fifty thousand dollars; (4) for
taxable years beginning after  June  thirtieth,  two  thousand  one  and
before  July  first,  two  thousand three, the amount shall be seven and
one-half percent of the entire net income  base;  and  (5)  for  taxable
years  beginning  after  June  thirtieth,  two thousand three and before
January first, two thousand five, the amount shall be  the  sum  of  (a)
thirteen  thousand  seven hundred dollars, (b) 7.5 percent of the excess
of the entire net income base over two hundred thousand dollars and  (c)
3.25  percent  of  the  excess  of  the  entire net income base over two
hundred fifty thousand dollars;
  (iii) for taxable years beginning on or after January first, two thou-
sand five and ending before January first, two thousand  seven,  if  the
entire  net  income  base  is  not more than two hundred ninety thousand
dollars the amount shall be six and one-half percent of the  entire  net
income  base;  if  the  entire  net income base is more than two hundred
ninety thousand dollars but  not  over  three  hundred  ninety  thousand
dollars  the  amount  shall  be  the  sum of (1) eighteen thousand eight
hundred fifty dollars, (2) seven and one-half percent of the  excess  of
the  entire net income base over two hundred ninety thousand dollars but
not over three hundred ninety thousand dollars and (3)  seven  and  one-
quarter  percent  of the excess of the entire net income base over three
hundred fifty thousand dollars but not over three hundred  ninety  thou-
sand dollars;]
  (iv)  for  taxable years beginning [on or after] BEFORE January first,
two thousand [seven] SIXTEEN, if the [entire net] BUSINESS  income  base
is not more than two hundred ninety thousand dollars the amount shall be
six  and  one-half  percent of the [entire net] BUSINESS income base; if
the [entire net] BUSINESS income base is more than  two  hundred  ninety
thousand  dollars but not over three hundred ninety thousand dollars the
amount shall be the sum of (1) eighteen  thousand  eight  hundred  fifty
dollars,  (2)  seven  and one-tenth percent of the excess of the [entire

hundred ninety thousand dollars;
  (v)  if  the  taxable period to which [subparagraphs (i), (ii), (iii),
and] SUBPARAGRAPH (iv) of this paragraph [apply] APPLIES  is  less  than
twelve months, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be computed
as follows:
  (A)  Multiply  the [entire net] BUSINESS income base for such taxpayer
by twelve;
  (B) Divide the result obtained in (A) by the number of months  in  the
taxable year;
  (C) Compute an amount pursuant to [subparagraphs (i) and (ii)] SUBPAR-
AGRAPH (IV) as if the result obtained in (B) were the taxpayer's [entire

  (E) Divide the result obtained in (D) by twelve.

S. 6359--C                         47

  (vi) for taxable years beginning on or after January thirty-first, two
thousand  seven,  the amount prescribed by this paragraph for a taxpayer
which is a qualified New York manufacturer, shall  be  computed  at  the
rate  of  six  and one-half (6.5) percent of the taxpayer's [entire net]
BUSINESS  income  base. [For taxable years beginning on or after January
first, two thousand  twelve  and  before  January  first,  two  thousand
fifteen, the amount prescribed by this paragraph for a taxpayer which is
an  eligible  qualified  New  York manufacturer shall be computed at the
rate of three and one-quarter (3.25) percent of  the  taxpayer's  entire
net  income  base.]  The term "manufacturer" shall mean a taxpayer which
during the taxable year is principally  engaged  in  the  production  of
goods   by  manufacturing,  processing,  assembling,  refining,  mining,
extracting, farming, agriculture, horticulture,  floriculture,  viticul-
ture  or commercial fishing. However, the generation and distribution of
electricity, the distribution of natural  gas,  and  the  production  of
steam  associated with the generation of electricity shall not be quali-
fying activities for a manufacturer under this  subparagraph.  Moreover,
the  combined group shall be considered a "manufacturer" for purposes of
this subparagraph only if the combined group during the taxable year  is
principally  engaged  in  the activities set forth in this paragraph, or
any combination thereof. A taxpayer or a combined group shall be  "prin-
cipally  engaged"  in  activities described above if, during the taxable
year, more than fifty percent of the gross receipts of the  taxpayer  or
combined group, respectively, are derived from receipts from the sale of
goods produced by such activities. In computing a combined group's gross
receipts,  intercorporate receipts shall be eliminated. A "qualified New
York manufacturer" is a manufacturer which  has  property  in  New  York
which  is  described in [clause (A) of subparagraph (i) of paragraph (b)
of] subdivision [twelve of this section]  ONE  OF  SECTION  TWO  HUNDRED
TEN-B OF THIS ARTICLE and either (I) the adjusted basis of such property
for  federal  income tax purposes at the close of the taxable year is at
least one million dollars or (II) all of its real and personal  property
is located in New York. In addition, a "qualified New York manufacturer"
means  a  taxpayer  which  is defined as a qualified emerging technology
company under paragraph (c) of subdivision  one  of  section  thirty-one
hundred  two-e  of  the  public  authorities  law  regardless of the ten
million dollar limitation expressed in subparagraph one  of  such  para-
graph  (c).  [The  commissioner  shall establish guidelines and criteria
that specify requirements by which a manufacturer may be  classified  as
an  eligible  qualified  New York manufacturer. Criteria may include but
not be limited to factors such as regional  unemployment,  the  economic
impact  that  manufacturing has on the surrounding community, population
decline within the region and median income within the region  in  which
the manufacturer is located. In establishing these guidelines and crite-
ria,  the  commissioner shall endeavor that the total annual cost of the
lower rates shall not exceed twenty-five million  dollars.]  A  TAXPAYER
OR,  IN  THE  CASE OF A COMBINED REPORT, A COMBINED GROUP, THAT DOES NOT
SATISFY THE CRITERIA IN SUBDIVISION THIRTEEN OF THIS SECTION  MAY  BE  A
QUALIFIED  NEW  YORK  MANUFACTURER IF THE TAXPAYER OR THE COMBINED GROUP
EMPLOYS DURING THE TAXABLE YEAR  AT  LEAST  TWO  THOUSAND  FIVE  HUNDRED
EMPLOYEES  IN MANUFACTURING IN NEW YORK AND THE TAXPAYER OR THE COMBINED
GROUP HAS PROPERTY IN THE STATE  USED  IN  MANUFACTURING,  THE  ADJUSTED
BASIS OF WHICH FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES AT THE CLOSE OF THE TAXA-
BLE YEAR IS AT LEAST ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.
  (vii)  For  a  qualified New York manufacturer, as defined in subpara-
graph (vi) of this paragraph, the rate at which the tax is computed  [in

S. 6359--C                         48

effect  for taxable years beginning on or after January first, two thou-
sand thirteen and before January first, two thousand fourteen for quali-
fied New York manufacturers shall be  reduced  by  nine  and  two-tenths
percent  for  taxable  years  commencing  on or after January first, two
thousand fourteen and before January first, two thousand fifteen, twelve
and three-tenths percent for taxable years commencing on or after  Janu-
ary  first,  two thousand fifteen and before January first, two thousand
sixteen, fifteen and four-tenths percent for taxable years commencing on
or after January first, two thousand sixteen and before  January  first,
two  thousand eighteen, and twenty-five percent for taxable years begin-
ning on or after January first, two thousand  eighteen]  SHALL  BE  ZERO
PERCENT OF THE TAXPAYER'S BUSINESS INCOME  BASE.
  (VIII)  (A)  IN COMPUTING THE BUSINESS INCOME BASE, TAXPAYERS SHALL BE
ALLOWED BOTH A PRIOR NET OPERATING  LOSS  CONVERSION  SUBTRACTION  UNDER
THIS  SUBPARAGRAPH AND A NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION UNDER SUBPARAGRAPH
(IX)  OF  THIS  PARAGRAPH.  THE  PRIOR  NET  OPERATING  LOSS  CONVERSION
SUBTRACTION  COMPUTED  UNDER  THIS SUBPARAGRAPH SHALL BE APPLIED AGAINST
THE BUSINESS  INCOME  BASE  BEFORE  THE  NET  OPERATING  LOSS  DEDUCTION
COMPUTED UNDER SUBPARAGRAPH (IX) OF THIS PARAGRAPH.
  (B) PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION.
  (1) DEFINITIONS.
  (I)  "BASE  YEAR"  MEANS  THE  LAST TAXABLE YEAR BEGINNING ON OR AFTER
JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN AND BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOU-
SAND FIFTEEN.
  (II) "UNABSORBED NET OPERATING LOSS" MEANS THE UNABSORBED  PORTION  OF
NET OPERATING LOSS AS CALCULATED UNDER PARAGRAPH (F) OF SUBDIVISION NINE
OF  SECTION  TWO  HUNDRED  EIGHT  OF THIS ARTICLE OR SUBSECTION (K-1) OF
SECTION FOURTEEN HUNDRED FIFTY-THREE OF THIS CHAPTER  AS  SUCH  SECTIONS
WERE IN EFFECT ON DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN, THAT WAS
NOT  DEDUCTIBLE IN PREVIOUS TAXABLE YEARS AND WAS ELIGIBLE FOR CARRYOVER
ON THE LAST DAY OF THE BASE  YEAR,  INCLUDING  ANY  NET  OPERATING  LOSS
SUSTAINED BY THE TAXPAYER DURING THE BASE YEAR.
  (III)  "BASE  YEAR  BAP"  MEANS  THE  TAXPAYER'S  BUSINESS  ALLOCATION
PERCENTAGE AS CALCULATED UNDER PARAGRAPH (A)  OF  SUBDIVISION  THREE  OF
THIS  SECTION FOR THE BASE YEAR, OR THE TAXPAYER'S ALLOCATION PERCENTAGE
AS CALCULATED UNDER SECTION FOURTEEN HUNDRED FIFTY-FOUR OF THIS  CHAPTER
FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING ENTIRE NET INCOME FOR THE BASE YEAR, AS SUCH
SECTIONS WERE IN EFFECT ON DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN.
  (IV)  "BASE  YEAR TAX RATE" MEANS THE TAXPAYER'S TAX RATE FOR THE BASE
YEAR AS CALCULATED UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH OR  SUBSECTION  (A)  OF  SECTION
FOURTEEN  HUNDRED FIFTY-FIVE OF THIS CHAPTER, AS SUCH PROVISIONS WERE IN
EFFECT ON DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN.
  (2) THE PRIOR NET  OPERATING  LOSS  CONVERSION  SUBTRACTION  SHALL  BE
CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS:
  (I) THE TAXPAYER SHALL FIRST CALCULATE THE TAX VALUE OF ITS UNABSORBED
NET  OPERATING LOSS FOR THE BASE YEAR. THE VALUE IS EQUAL TO THE PRODUCT
OF (I) THE AMOUNT OF THE TAXPAYER'S UNABSORBED NET OPERATING LOSS,  (II)
THE  TAXPAYER'S  BASE  YEAR  BAP, AND (III) THE TAXPAYER'S BASE YEAR TAX
RATE.
  (II) THE PRODUCT DETERMINED UNDER ITEM (I) OF THIS SUBCLAUSE  IS  THEN
DIVIDED  BY  SIX AND ONE-HALF PERCENT, OR IN THE CASE OF A QUALIFIED NEW
YORK MANUFACTURER, FIVE AND  SEVEN-TENTHS  PERCENT.  THIS  RESULT  SHALL
EQUAL  THE  TAXPAYER'S  PRIOR  NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION
POOL.
  (III) THE TAXPAYER'S PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS  CONVERSION  SUBTRACTION
FOR  THE  TAXABLE YEAR SHALL EQUAL ONE-HALF FOR NO MORE THAN TWO CONSEC-

S. 6359--C                         49

UTIVE TAX YEARS OR  ONE-TENTH  OF  ITS  NET  OPERATING  LOSS  CONVERSION
SUBTRACTION  POOL  PLUS  ANY  AMOUNT  OF UNUSED PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS
CONVERSION SUBTRACTION FROM PRECEDING TAXABLE YEARS.  PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
THE  PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION OF A SMALL BUSINESS
CORPORATION, AS DEFINED IN PARAGRAPH (F) OF THIS SUBDIVISION, AS OF  THE
LAST DAY OF THE BASE YEAR, SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE ONE-TENTH LIMITA-
TION IN THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE.
  (3)  COMBINED  GROUPS.  (I)  WHERE A TAXPAYER WAS PROPERLY INCLUDED OR
REQUIRED TO BE INCLUDED IN A COMBINED REPORT FOR THE BASE YEAR  PURSUANT
TO SECTION TWO HUNDRED ELEVEN OF THIS ARTICLE OR A COMBINED RETURN UNDER
SECTION  FOURTEEN  HUNDRED  SIXTY-TWO  OF THIS CHAPTER, AS SUCH SECTIONS
WERE IN EFFECT ON DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN, AND  THE
MEMBERS  OF  THE  COMBINED  GROUP  FOR THE BASE YEAR ARE THE SAME AS THE
MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR IMMEDIATELY  SUCCEED-
ING  THE  BASE  YEAR,  THE  COMBINED GROUP SHALL CALCULATE ITS PRIOR NET
OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION POOL USING  THE  COMBINED  GROUP'S
TOTAL  UNABSORBED  NET  OPERATING LOSS, BASE YEAR BAP, AND BASE YEAR TAX
RATE.
  (II) IF A COMBINED GROUP INCLUDES ADDITIONAL MEMBERS  IN  THE  TAXABLE
YEAR  IMMEDIATELY SUCCEEDING THE BASE YEAR THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE
COMBINED GROUP DURING THE BASE YEAR, EACH BASE YEAR COMBINED  GROUP  AND
EACH  TAXPAYER THAT FILED SEPARATELY IN THE BASE YEAR BUT IS INCLUDED IN
THE COMBINED GROUP IN THE TAXABLE YEAR SUCCEEDING THE  BASE  YEAR  SHALL
CALCULATE  ITS PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION POOL, AND
THE SUM OF THE POOLS SHALL BE THE  COMBINED  PRIOR  NET  OPERATING  LOSS
CONVERSION SUBTRACTION POOL OF THE COMBINED GROUP.
  (III) IF A TAXPAYER WAS PROPERLY INCLUDED IN A COMBINED REPORT FOR THE
BASE YEAR AND FILES A SEPARATE REPORT IN A SUBSEQUENT TAXABLE YEAR, THEN
THE  AMOUNT OF REMAINING PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION
ALLOWED TO THE TAXPAYER FILING SUCH SEPARATE  REPORT  SHALL  BE  PROPOR-
TIONATE  TO  THE  AMOUNT THAT SUCH TAXPAYER CONTRIBUTED TO THE PRIOR NET
OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION POOL ON A COMBINED BASIS, AND  THE
REMAINING PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION ALLOWED TO THE
REMAINING MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP SHALL BE REDUCED ACCORDINGLY.
  (4) THE PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION MAY BE USED TO
REDUCE  THE TAXPAYER'S TAX ON ALLOCATED BUSINESS INCOME TO THE HIGHER OF
THE TAX ON THE CAPITAL BASE UNDER PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS  SUBDIVISION  OR
THE  FIXED  DOLLAR  MINIMUM UNDER PARAGRAPH (D) OF THIS SUBDIVISION. ANY
AMOUNT OF UNUSED SUBTRACTION SHALL BE CARRIED FORWARD TO SUBSEQUENT  TAX
YEAR  OR  YEARS UNTIL TAX YEARS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO
THOUSAND THIRTY-SIX, AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE  ONE-TENTH  LIMITA-
TION IN THE SUBSEQUENT TAX YEAR OR YEARS.
  (IX)  NET  OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION.  IN COMPUTING THE BUSINESS INCOME
BASE, A NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION SHALL BE ALLOWED. A  NET  OPERATING
LOSS DEDUCTION IS THE AMOUNT OF NET OPERATING LOSS OR LOSSES FROM ONE OR
MORE TAXABLE YEARS THAT ARE CARRIED FORWARD TO A PARTICULAR INCOME YEAR.
A  NET  OPERATING  LOSS  IS  THE AMOUNT OF A BUSINESS LOSS INCURRED IN A
PARTICULAR TAX YEAR MULTIPLIED BY THE APPORTIONMENT FACTOR FOR THAT YEAR
AS DETERMINED UNDER SECTION TWO HUNDRED TEN-A OF THIS ARTICLE. THE MAXI-
MUM NET OPERATING DEDUCTION THAT IS ALLOWED IN A  TAXABLE  YEAR  IS  THE
AMOUNT  THAT  REDUCES THE TAXPAYER'S TAX ON ALLOCATED BUSINESS INCOME TO
THE HIGHER OF THE TAX ON THE CAPITAL BASE OR THE FIXED  DOLLAR  MINIMUM.
SUCH DEDUCTION AND LOSS ARE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING:
  (1)  SUCH  NET  OPERATING  LOSS DEDUCTION IS NOT LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT
ALLOWED UNDER SECTION ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-TWO OF  THE  INTERNAL  REVENUE
CODE  OR THE AMOUNT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED IF THE TAXPAYER HAD NOT

S. 6359--C                         50

MADE AN ELECTION UNDER SUBCHAPTER S  OF  CHAPTER  ONE  OF  THE  INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE.
  (2)  SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY NET OPER-
ATING LOSS INCURRED DURING ANY TAXABLE YEAR BEGINNING PRIOR  TO  JANUARY
FIRST,  TWO  THOUSAND  FIFTEEN,  OR DURING ANY TAXABLE YEAR IN WHICH THE
TAXPAYER WAS NOT SUBJECT TO THE TAX IMPOSED BY THIS ARTICLE.
  (3) A TAXPAYER THAT FILES AS PART OF A FEDERAL CONSOLIDATED RETURN BUT
ON A SEPARATE BASIS FOR  PURPOSES  OF  THIS  ARTICLE  MUST  COMPUTE  ITS
DEDUCTION  AND LOSS AS IF IT WERE FILING ON A SEPARATE BASIS FOR FEDERAL
INCOME TAX PURPOSES.
  (4) A NET OPERATING LOSS MUST BE CARRIED FORWARD TO EACH OF THE TWENTY
TAXABLE YEARS FOLLOWING THE TAXABLE YEAR OF THE LOSS.  NO  CARRYBACK  OF
THE  NET  OPERATING LOSS IS ALLOWED. A TAXPAYER MUST APPLY BOTH OF THESE
LIMITATIONS IN COMPUTING SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION.
  (5) SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY NET  OPER-
ATING  LOSS  INCURRED DURING A NEW YORK S YEAR; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, A NEW
YORK S YEAR MUST BE TREATED AS A TAXABLE YEAR FOR PURPOSES OF  DETERMIN-
ING  THE  NUMBER  OF  TAXABLE YEARS TO WHICH A NET OPERATING LOSS MAY BE
CARRIED FORWARD.
  (6) WHERE THERE ARE TWO OR MORE ALLOCATED  NET  OPERATING  LOSSES,  OR
PORTIONS  THEREOF,  CARRIED FORWARD TO BE DEDUCTED IN ONE PARTICULAR TAX
YEAR  FROM  ALLOCATED  BUSINESS  INCOME,  THE  EARLIEST  ALLOCATED  LOSS
INCURRED MUST BE APPLIED FIRST.
  (b)  Capital  base.  (1)  The [amount prescribed by this paragraph for
taxable years beginning before January first, two thousand  eight  shall
be  computed  at .178  percent  for  each dollar of the taxpayer's total
business and investment capital, or the portion thereof allocated within
the state as hereinafter provided. For taxable  years  beginning  on  or
after  January first, two thousand eight, the] amount prescribed by this
paragraph shall be computed  at .15  percent  for  each  dollar  of  the
taxpayer's total business [and investment] capital, or the portion ther-
eof  allocated within the state as hereinafter provided. However, in the
case of a cooperative housing corporation as  defined  in  the  internal
revenue  code,  the  applicable  rate shall be .04 percent.  In no event
shall the amount prescribed by this paragraph exceed three hundred fifty
thousand dollars for qualified New York manufacturers and for all  other
taxpayers  [ten] FIVE million dollars [for taxable years beginning on or
after January first, two thousand eight but before  January  first,  two
thousand  eleven  and one million dollars for taxable years beginning on
or after January first, two thousand eleven].
  (2) For purposes of subparagraph  one  of  this  paragraph,  the  term
"manufacturer"  shall  mean  a taxpayer which during the taxable year is
principally engaged in the production of goods by  manufacturing,  proc-
essing,  assembling, refining, mining, extracting, farming, agriculture,
horticulture, floriculture, viticulture or commercial fishing. Moreover,
for purposes of computing the capital base in  a  combined  report,  the
combined group shall be considered a "manufacturer" for purposes of this
subparagraph only if the combined group during the taxable year is prin-
cipally engaged in the activities set forth in this subparagraph, or any
combination thereof. A taxpayer or a combined group shall be "principal-
ly  engaged"  in activities described above if, during the taxable year,
more than fifty percent  of  the  gross  receipts  of  the  taxpayer  or
combined group, respectively, are derived from receipts from the sale of
goods produced by such activities. In computing a combined group's gross
receipts,  intercorporate receipts shall be eliminated. A "qualified New
York manufacturer" is a manufacturer that has property in New York  that

S. 6359--C                         51

is  described  in  [clause  (A) of subparagraph (i) of paragraph (b) of]
subdivision [twelve of this section] ONE OF SECTION TWO HUNDRED TEN-B OF
THIS ARTICLE and either (i) the adjusted  basis  of  that  property  for
federal income tax purposes at the close of the taxable year is at least
one  million  dollars  or  (ii) all of its real and personal property is
located in New York. In addition, a "qualified  New  York  manufacturer"
means  a  taxpayer  that  is  defined as a qualified emerging technology
company under paragraph (c) of subdivision  one  of  section  thirty-one
hundred  two-e  of  the  public  authorities  law  regardless of the ten
million dollar limitation expressed in subparagraph one  of  such  para-
graph.
  (3)  For a qualified New York manufacturer, as defined in subparagraph
two of this paragraph, the rate at which the tax is computed  in  effect
for  taxable  years  beginning  on  or after January first, two thousand
thirteen and before  January  first,  two  thousand  fourteen  shall  be
reduced  by  nine and two-tenths percent for taxable years commencing on
or after January first, two thousand fourteen and before January  first,
two  thousand fifteen, twelve and three-tenths percent for taxable years
commencing on or after January first, two thousand  fifteen  and  before
January first, two thousand sixteen, fifteen and four-tenths percent for
taxable years commencing on or after January first, two thousand sixteen
and before January first, two thousand eighteen, and twenty-five percent
for  taxable  years  beginning  on  or after January first, two thousand
eighteen.
  (c) [Minimum taxable income bases. (i)  For  taxable  years  beginning
after  nineteen  hundred  eighty-six and before nineteen hundred eighty-
nine, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be computed  at  the
rate  of  three  and  one-half  percent  of  the taxpayer's pre-nineteen
hundred ninety minimum taxable income base. For taxable years  beginning
in nineteen hundred eighty-nine, the amount prescribed by this paragraph
shall  be  computed  at  the rate of five percent of the taxpayer's pre-
nineteen hundred ninety minimum taxable income base. A "taxpayer's  pre-
nineteen  hundred  ninety  minimum  taxable  income base" shall mean the
portion of the taxpayer's entire net income allocated within  the  state
as  hereinafter  provided, subject to any modification required by para-
graphs (d) and (e) of subdivision three of this section;
  (ii) (A) For taxable years beginning on or after  January  first,  two
thousand  seven,  the  amount  prescribed  by  this  paragraph  shall be
computed at the rate of one and one-half percent of the taxpayer's mini-
mum taxable income base. The "taxpayer's minimum  taxable  income  base"
shall  mean  the  portion of the taxpayer's minimum taxable income allo-
cated within the state as hereinafter provided, subject to any modifica-
tions required by paragraphs (d) and (e) of subdivision  three  of  this
section.
  (B)  For  taxable years beginning on or after January first, two thou-
sand twelve and before January first, two thousand fifteen,  the  amount
prescribed by this paragraph for an eligible qualified New York manufac-
turer  shall  be  computed  at the rate of seventy-five hundredths (.75)
percent of the taxpayer's minimum taxable income base. For  purposes  of
this  clause,  the term "eligible qualified New York manufacturer" shall
have the same meaning as in subparagraph (vi) of paragraph (a)  of  this
subdivision.
  (iii)  For  a  qualified New York manufacturer, as defined in subpara-
graph (vi) of paragraph (a) of this subdivision, the rate at  which  the
tax  is computed in effect for taxable years beginning on or after Janu-
ary first, two thousand thirteen and before January first, two  thousand

S. 6359--C                         52

fourteen  for  qualified New York manufacturers shall be reduced by nine
and two-tenths percent for taxable years commencing on or after  January
first,  two  thousand  fourteen  and  before January first, two thousand
fifteen, twelve and three-tenths percent for taxable years commencing on
or  after  January first, two thousand fifteen and before January first,
two thousand sixteen, fifteen and four-tenths percent for taxable  years
commencing  on  or  after January first, two thousand sixteen and before
January first, two thousand eighteen, and twenty-five percent for  taxa-
ble years beginning on or after January first, two thousand eighteen.]
  (d) Fixed dollar minimum. (1) The [amount prescribed by this paragraph
shall be for a taxpayer which during the taxable year has:
  (A)  a gross payroll of six million two hundred fifty thousand dollars
or more, one thousand five hundred dollars;
  (B) a gross payroll of less than six million two hundred  fifty  thou-
sand dollars but more than one million dollars, four hundred twenty-five
dollars;
  (C)  a gross payroll of no more than one million dollars but more than
five hundred thousand dollars, three hundred twenty-five dollars;
  (D) a gross payroll of no more than five hundred thousand dollars  but
more  than  two  hundred fifty thousand dollars, two hundred twenty-five
dollars;
  (E) a gross payroll of two hundred  fifty  thousand  dollars  or  less
(except  as  prescribed in clause (F) of this subparagraph), one hundred
dollars;
  (F) a gross payroll of  one  thousand  dollars  or  less,  with  total
receipts  within and without this state of one thousand dollars or less,
and the average value of the assets of which are one thousand dollars or
less, eight hundred dollars.
  (2) For purposes of this paragraph:
  (A) gross payroll shall be the same as the total wages,  salaries  and
other  personal  service  compensation  of all the taxpayer's employees,
within and without this state, as defined in subparagraph three of para-
graph (a) of subdivision three of  this  section,  except  that  general
executive officers shall not be excluded.
  (B)  total  receipts  shall be the same as receipts within and without
this state as defined in subparagraph two of paragraph (a)  of  subdivi-
sion three of this section.
  (C)  average  value  of  the assets shall be the same as prescribed by
subdivision two of this section without reduction for liabilities.
  (3) If the taxable  year  is  less  than  twelve  months,  the  amount
prescribed  by this paragraph shall be reduced by twenty-five percent if
the period for which the taxpayer is subject to tax  is  more  than  six
months  but not more than nine months and by fifty percent if the period
for which the taxpayer is subject to tax is not more  than  six  months.
Provided,  however,  that in determining the amount of gross payroll and
total receipts for purposes of subparagraph one of this paragraph, where
the taxable year is less than twelve months, the amount of each shall be
determined by dividing the amount of each with respect  to  the  taxable
year  by  the  number of months in such taxable year and multiplying the
result by twelve. If the taxable year is less than  twelve  months,  the
amount  of  New  York receipts for purposes of subparagraph four of this
paragraph is determined by dividing the amount of the receipts  for  the
taxable year by the number of months in the taxable year and multiplying
the result by twelve.
  (4)  Notwithstanding  subparagraphs one and two of this paragraph, for
taxable years beginning on or after January first, two  thousand  eight,

S. 6359--C                         53

the]  amount  prescribed  by  this paragraph for New York S corporations
will be determined in accordance with the following table:

If New York receipts are:                The fixed dollar minimum tax is:

graph shall be computed at the rate of nine-tenths of a  mill  for  each
dollar  of  the  portion  of the taxpayer's subsidiary capital allocated
within the state as hereinafter provided.
  (2)  For  purposes  of  this  paragraph, the amount of such subsidiary
capital, prior  to  allocation,  shall  be  reduced  by  the  applicable
percentage  of  the  taxpayer's (i) investments in the stock of, and any
indebtedness from, subsidiaries subject to tax under section one hundred
eighty-six of this chapter (but only to the extent such indebtedness  is
included  in  subsidiary capital), and (ii) investments in the stock of,
and any indebtedness from, subsidiaries subject  to  tax  under  article
thirty-two  or thirty-three of this chapter (but only to the extent such
indebtedness is included in subsidiary capital). For purposes of  clause

percent for taxable years beginning in two  thousand,  and  one  hundred
percent  for taxable years beginning after two thousand. For purposes of

hundred percent for taxable years beginning after nineteen hundred nine-
ty-nine.]

than three hundred ninety thousand dollars for the  taxable  year;  (ii)
[which  constitutes a small business as defined in section 1244(c)(3) of
internal revenue code (without regard to the second sentence of subpara-
graph (A) thereof) as of the last day of the taxable year] THE AGGREGATE
AMOUNT OF MONEY AND OTHER  PROPERTY  RECEIVED  BY  THE  CORPORATION  FOR
STOCK,  AS  A  CONTRIBUTION TO CAPITAL, AND AS PAID-IN SURPLUS, DOES NOT
EXCEED ONE MILLION DOLLARS; [and] (iii) which is not part of  an  affil-
iated  group,  as  defined in section 1504 of the internal revenue code,
unless such group, if it had filed a report  under  this  article  on  a
combined basis, would have itself qualified as a "small business taxpay-
er"  pursuant  to this subdivision; AND (IV) WHICH HAS AN AVERAGE NUMBER
OF INDIVIDUALS, EXCLUDING GENERAL EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, EMPLOYED FULL-TIME
IN THE STATE DURING THE TAXABLE YEAR OF ONE HUNDRED OR FEWER.    If  the
taxable  period  to  which subparagraph (i) of this paragraph applies is
less than twelve months, entire net income under such subparagraph shall
be placed on an annual basis by multiplying the  entire  net  income  by
twelve  and  dividing  the result by the number of months in the period.
FOR PURPOSES OF SUBPARAGRAPH (II) OF THIS PARAGRAPH,  THE  AMOUNT  TAKEN
INTO  ACCOUNT WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROPERTY OTHER THAN MONEY SHALL BE THE
AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE ADJUSTED BASIS TO THE CORPORATION OF  SUCH  PROPERTY
FOR DETERMINING GAIN, REDUCED BY ANY LIABILITY TO WHICH THE PROPERTY WAS
SUBJECT OR WHICH WAS ASSUMED BY THE CORPORATION. THE DETERMINATION UNDER
THE  PRECEDING  SENTENCE  SHALL  BE MADE AS OF THE TIME THE PROPERTY WAS
RECEIVED BY THE CORPORATION. FOR PURPOSES OF SUBPARAGRAPH (III) OF  THIS
SECTION,  "AVERAGE  NUMBER  OF  INDIVIDUALS, EXCLUDING GENERAL EXECUTIVE

NUMBER  OF SUCH INDIVIDUALS EMPLOYED BY THE TAXPAYER ON THE THIRTY-FIRST
DAY OF MARCH, THE THIRTIETH DAY OF JUNE, THE THIRTIETH DAY OF  SEPTEMBER
AND  THE  THIRTY-FIRST DAY OF DECEMBER DURING EACH TAXABLE YEAR OR OTHER
APPLICABLE PERIOD, BY ADDING TOGETHER THE  NUMBER  OF  SUCH  INDIVIDUALS
ASCERTAINED  ON  EACH  OF SUCH DATES AND DIVIDING THE SUM SO OBTAINED BY
THE NUMBER OF SUCH DATES OCCURRING WITHIN SUCH  TAXABLE  YEAR  OR  OTHER
APPLICABLE PERIOD. AN INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYED FULL-TIME MEANS AN EMPLOYEE IN
A  JOB CONSISTING OF AT LEAST THIRTY-FIVE HOURS PER WEEK, OR TWO OR MORE
EMPLOYEES WHO ARE IN JOBS THAT TOGETHER CONSTITUTE THE EQUIVALENT  OF  A

FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT EMPLOYEES IN THE STATE INCLUDES ALL EMPLOYEES REGU-
LARLY CONNECTED WITH OR WORKING OUT OF AN OFFICE OR PLACE OF BUSINESS OF
THE TAXPAYER WITHIN THE STATE.
  (g)  New  York S corporations.   (1) General. The amount prescribed by
this paragraph shall be, in the case of each  New  York  S  corporation,
[(i)  the  higher of the amounts prescribed in paragraphs (a) and (d) of
this subdivision (other than the amount prescribed in the  final  clause
of  subparagraph  one of that paragraph (d)) (ii) reduced by the article
twenty-two tax equivalent;  provided,  however,  that  the  amount  thus
determined  shall  not be less than the lowest of the amounts prescribed
in subparagraph one of that paragraph (d) (applying  the  provisions  of
subparagraph  three  of that paragraph as necessary). Provided, however,
notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph, in taxable years begin-
ning in two thousand three and before two  thousand  eight,  the  amount
prescribed  by this paragraph shall be the amount prescribed in subpara-
graph one of that paragraph (d) (applying the provisions of subparagraph
three of that paragraph as necessary) and applying  the  calculation  of
that  amount  in the case of a termination year as set forth in subpara-
graph four of this paragraph as necessary. In taxable years beginning in
two thousand eight and thereafter, the amount prescribed by  this  para-
graph  is]  the amount prescribed in subparagraph four of that paragraph
(d) [(applying the provisions of subparagraph three of that paragraph as
necessary)] and applying the calculation of that amount in the case of a
termination year as set forth in subparagraph four of this paragraph  as
necessary.
  (2)  [Article  twenty-two  tax equivalent. For taxable years beginning
before July first, nineteen hundred ninety-nine, the article  twenty-two
tax equivalent is the amount computed under paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision  by  substituting for the rate therein the rate of 7.875 percent.
For taxable years beginning after June thirtieth, nineteen hundred nine-
ty-nine and before July first, two thousand, the article twenty-two  tax
equivalent  is  the amount computed under paragraph (a) of this subdivi-

June  thirtieth,  two  thousand three, the article twenty-two tax equiv-
alent is the amount computed under paragraph (a) of this subdivision  by

THE CREDIT PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SUBDIVISION WHICH REPRESENTS  THE  RATIO
WHICH  THE  MONTHS  OF  QUALIFIED USE BEAR TO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MONTHS

NAL REVENUE CODE. IF PROPERTY ON WHICH CREDIT HAS BEEN TAKEN IS DISPOSED
OF  OR CEASES TO BE IN QUALIFIED USE PRIOR TO THE END OF THE PERIOD OVER
WHICH THE TAXPAYER CHOOSES TO DEDUCT THE  PROPERTY  UNDER  THE  INTERNAL
REVENUE  CODE,  THE  DIFFERENCE  BETWEEN THE CREDIT TAKEN AND THE CREDIT
ALLOWED FOR ACTUAL USE MUST BE ADDED BACK IN THE  YEAR  OF  DISPOSITION.

QUALIFIED USE AFTER IT HAS BEEN IN QUALIFIED USE FOR  MORE  THAN  TWELVE

SUBJECT TO ANY REGULATIONS OR GUIDANCE ISSUED BY THE COMMISSIONER OR THE
DEPARTMENT.
  (B)(I) IN COMPUTING COMBINED BUSINESS INCOME, ALL INTERCORPORATE DIVI-
DENDS  SHALL  BE  ELIMINATED,  AND ALL OTHER INTERCORPORATE TRANSACTIONS
SHALL BE DEFERRED IN A MANNER SIMILAR  TO  THE  UNITED  STATES  TREASURY

OR LOSS RECOGNITION OR CREDIT RECAPTURE EVENT THAT WOULD OTHERWISE OCCUR

GROUP SHALL BE DEEMED NOT TO OCCUR WHEN SUCH  RECOGNITION  OR  RECAPTURE
EVENT  RESULTS  FROM  A  CORPORATION FILING A COMBINED REPORT UNDER THIS
ARTICLE FOR ITS FIRST TAXABLE YEAR COMMENCING ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST,
TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN, WITH  ANOTHER  CORPORATION  OR  CORPORATIONS  WITH
WHICH  IT  COULD NOT HAVE FILED COMBINED REPORTS FOR PRIOR TAXABLE YEARS
OR FROM A CORPORATION NOT FILING A COMBINED REPORT FOR ITS FIRST TAXABLE
YEAR COMMENCING ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN, WITH  A

INTERCORPORATE  BILLS,  INTERCORPORATE  NOTES  RECEIVABLE  AND  PAYABLE,
INTERCORPORATE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND PAYABLE, AND OTHER INTERCORPORATE
INDEBTEDNESS, SHALL BE ELIMINATED.
  (C) QUALIFICATION FOR  CREDITS,  INCLUDING  ANY  LIMITATIONS  THEREON,
SHALL  BE  DETERMINED SEPARATELY FOR EACH OF THE MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED
GROUP, AND SHALL NOT BE DETERMINED ON A COMBINED GROUP BASIS, EXCEPT  AS
OTHERWISE  PROVIDED.  HOWEVER,  THE CREDITS SHALL BE APPLIED AGAINST THE
COMBINED TAX OF THE GROUP. TO THE EXTENT THAT A PROVISION OF SECTION TWO
HUNDRED TEN-B OF THIS ARTICLE LIMITS A CREDIT TO THE FIXED DOLLAR  MINI-
MUM AMOUNT PRESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH (D) OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION TWO
HUNDRED  TEN  OF THIS ARTICLE, SUCH FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM AMOUNT SHALL BE

AGENT OF THE COMBINED GROUP.
  (D)(I)  A  NET  OPERATING  LOSS  DEDUCTION IS ALLOWED IN COMPUTING THE
COMBINED BUSINESS INCOME BASE. SUCH DEDUCTION MAY REDUCE THE TAX ON  THE
COMBINED  BUSINESS  INCOME BASE TO THE HIGHER OF THE TAX ON THE COMBINED
CAPITAL BASE OR THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM. A COMBINED NET OPERATING  LOSS
DEDUCTION IS EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS OR LOSS-
ES  FROM ONE OR MORE TAXABLE YEARS THAT ARE CARRIED FORWARD TO A PARTIC-
ULAR INCOME YEAR. A COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS IS THE COMBINED BUSINESS

S. 6359--C                         112

  (III) IN THE CASE OF A  CORPORATION  THAT  FILES  A  COMBINED  REPORT,
EITHER  IN THE YEAR THE NET OPERATING LOSS IS INCURRED OR IN THE YEAR IN
WHICH A DEDUCTION IS CLAIMED ON ACCOUNT OF THE LOSS,  THE  COMBINED  NET
OPERATING  LOSS  DEDUCTION  IS  DETERMINED AS IF THE COMBINED GROUP IS A
SINGLE  CORPORATION  AND  IS  SUBJECT TO THE SAME LIMITATIONS THAT WOULD
APPLY FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES UNDER THE  INTERNAL  REVENUE  CODE
AND THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS AS IF SUCH CORPORATION HAD FILED FOR
SUCH TAXABLE YEAR A CONSOLIDATED FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN WITH THE SAME
CORPORATIONS  INCLUDED  IN THE COMBINED REPORT. IF A CORPORATION FILES A
COMBINED REPORT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT FILED  A  SEPARATE  RETURN  OR
CONSOLIDATED  RETURN  FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES, THE NET OPERATING
LOSS AND NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION FOR THE  COMBINED  GROUP  MUST  BE
COMPUTED  AS  IF THE CORPORATION HAD FILED A CONSOLIDATED RETURN FOR THE
SAME CORPORATIONS FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES.
  (IV) IN GENERAL, ANY NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYOVER FROM A YEAR IN WHICH
A COMBINED REPORT WAS FILED SHALL BE BASED ON THE COMBINED NET OPERATING
LOSS OF THE GROUP OF CORPORATIONS FILING SUCH REPORT. THE PORTION OF THE
COMBINED LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY MEMBER OF THE GROUP THAT FILES A SEPA-
RATE REPORT FOR A SUCCEEDING TAXABLE YEAR WILL BE AN AMOUNT BEARING  THE
SAME  RELATION  TO  THE  COMBINED LOSS AS THE NET OPERATING LOSS OF SUCH
CORPORATION BEARS TO THE TOTAL NET OPERATING LOSS OF ALL MEMBERS OF  THE
GROUP  HAVING SUCH LOSSES TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
IN COMPUTING THE COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS.
  (E) ANY ELECTION MADE PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (B)  OF  SUBDIVISION  SIX,
AND  PARAGRAPHS  (B) AND (C) OF SUBDIVISION SIX-A OF SECTION TWO HUNDRED
EIGHT OF THIS ARTICLE SHALL APPLY TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP.
  (F)(I) IN THE CASE OF A CAPTIVE REIT OR  CAPTIVE  RIC  REQUIRED  UNDER
THIS  SECTION  TO  BE  INCLUDED  IN A COMBINED REPORT, ENTIRE NET INCOME
SHALL BE COMPUTED AS REQUIRED UNDER SUBDIVISION FIVE (IN THE CASE  OF  A
CAPTIVE  REIT)  OR  SUBDIVISION  SEVEN (IN THE CASE OF A CAPTIVE RIC) OF
SECTION TWO HUNDRED NINE OF THIS ARTICLE. HOWEVER, THE  DEDUCTION  UNDER
THE  INTERNAL  REVENUE  CODE  FOR  DIVIDENDS PAID BY THE CAPTIVE REIT OR
CAPTIVE RIC TO ANY MEMBER OF THE  AFFILIATED  GROUP  THAT  INCLUDES  THE
CORPORATION  THAT  DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OWNS OVER FIFTY PERCENT OF THE
VOTING STOCK OF THE CAPTIVE REIT OR CAPTIVE RIC SHALL  NOT  BE  ALLOWED.

  2-a. The [tax commission] COMMISSIONER may prescribe  regulations  and
instructions  requiring  returns  of information to be made and filed in
conjunction with the reports required to be filed pursuant  to  [section
two  hundred  eleven]  THIS ARTICLE, relating to payments made to share-
holders owning, directly or indirectly, individually or  in  the  aggre-
gate, more than fifty percent of the issued capital stock of the taxpay-
er,  where  such  payments  are  treated  as payments of interest in the
computation of entire net income [or minimum taxable income] reported on
such reports.
  3. If the amount of taxable income  [or  alternative  minimum  taxable
income]  for  any year of any taxpayer (including any taxpayer which has
elected to be taxed under subchapter s of chapter one  of  the  internal
revenue  code),  as returned to the United States treasury department is
changed or corrected by the commissioner of internal  revenue  or  other
officer  of  the  United States or other competent authority, or where a
renegotiation of a  contract  or  subcontract  with  the  United  States
results  in  a  change in taxable income [or alternative minimum taxable
income], such taxpayer shall report such changed  or  corrected  taxable
income  [or  alternative minimum taxable income], or the results of such
renegotiation, within ninety days (or one hundred twenty  days,  in  the
case  of a taxpayer making a combined report under this article for such
year) after the final determination of  such  change  or  correction  or
renegotiation, or as required by the commissioner, and shall concede the
accuracy  of  such  determination  or state wherein it is erroneous. The
allowance of a tentative carryback adjustment based upon a net operating
loss carryback or net capital loss carryback pursuant to section  sixty-
four  hundred  eleven of the internal revenue code, as amended, shall be
treated as a final determination for purposes of this  subdivision.  Any
taxpayer  filing  an amended return with such department shall also file
within ninety days (OR ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS, IN THE CASE OF A TAXPAY-
ER MAKING A COMBINED REPORT UNDER THIS ARTICLE FOR SUCH YEAR) thereafter

S. 6359--C                         114

  4. [(a) Combined reports permitted or required.  Any  taxpayer,  which
owns  or  controls  either  directly or indirectly substantially all the
capital stock of one or more other corporations,  or  substantially  all
the  capital  stock  of  which is owned or controlled either directly or
indirectly  by  one or more other corporations or by interests which own
or control either directly or indirectly substantially all  the  capital
stock  of  one  or  more other corporations, (hereinafter referred to in
this paragraph as "related corporations"), shall make a combined  report
covering  any  related corporations if there are substantial intercorpo-
rate transactions among the  related  corporations,  regardless  of  the
transfer price for such intercorporate transactions. It is not necessary
that  there  be  substantial intercorporate transactions between any one
corporation and every other related corporation. It is necessary, howev-
er, that there be substantial intercorporate  transactions  between  the
taxpayer  and  a  related  corporation  or collectively, a group of such
related corporations. The report shall set forth such information as the
commissioner may require, subject to the provisions of subparagraphs one
through five of this paragraph.
  In determining whether there  are  substantial  intercorporate  trans-
actions, the commissioner shall consider and evaluate all activities and
transactions  of  the  taxpayer and its related corporations. Activities
and transactions that will be considered include, but  are  not  limited
to:  (i)  manufacturing,  acquiring  goods  or  property,  or performing
services, for related corporations; (ii)  selling  goods  acquired  from
related  corporations;  (iii)  financing  sales of related corporations;
(iv) performing related customer services using  common  facilities  and
employees for related corporations; (v) incurring expenses that benefit,
directly  or  indirectly,  one  or  more  related corporations, and (vi)
transferring assets,  including  such  assets  as  accounts  receivable,
patents or trademarks from one or more related corporations.
  (1)  Any  corporation  which owns or controls either directly or indi-
rectly substantially all the capital stock of a DISC not exempt from tax
under paragraph (i) of subdivision nine of section two hundred eight  of
this  article  shall be allowed, at the election of such corporation, to
make a report on a combined basis covering such DISC, but the failure of
such corporation to make such election shall not  prohibit  the  commis-
sioner  from  requiring  a combined report covering such corporation and
such DISC.
  (2)(i) No taxpayer may be permitted to make a  report  on  a  combined
basis  covering  any  such other corporations where such taxpayer or any
such other corporation  allocates  in  accordance  with  clause  (A)  of
subparagraph  seven of paragraph (a) of subdivision three of section two
hundred ten of this article (relating to aviation corporations) and such
taxpayer or any such other corporation does not so allocate, unless such
taxpayer or such other corporation is a qualified air freight  forwarder
with  respect  to such other corporation or such taxpayer, respectively,
and all taxpayers included on such combined report elect, by filing such
combined report,  to  have  such  qualified  air  freight  forwarder  so
included.
  (ii)  A  corporation is a qualified air freight forwarder with respect
to another corporation:
  (A) if it owns or controls either directly or indirectly  all  of  the
capital  stock of such other corporation, or if all of its capital stock
is owned or controlled either  directly  or  indirectly  by  such  other
corporation,  or  if  all  of  the capital stock of both corporations is
owned or controlled either directly or indirectly by the same interests,

S. 6359--C                         115

  (B) if it is principally  engaged  in  the  business  of  air  freight
forwarding, and
  (C)  if  its air freight forwarding business is carried on principally
with the airline or airlines operated by such other corporation.
  (3) No taxpayer may be permitted to make a report on a combined  basis
covering  any  such  other  corporations where such taxpayer or any such
other corporation allocates in accordance  with  subparagraph  eight  of
paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision three of section two hundred ten of this
article (relating  to  railroad  and  trucking  corporations)  and  such
taxpayer or any such other corporation does not so allocate.
  (4)  Except  as  provided  in the first undesignated paragraph of this
paragraph, no combined report covering any corporation shall be required
unless the commissioner  deems  such  a  report  necessary,  because  of
inter-company transactions or some agreement, understanding, arrangement
or transaction referred to in subdivision five of this section, in order
properly to reflect the tax liability under this article.
  (5) A corporation organized under the laws of a country other than the
United  States  shall not be required or permitted to make a report on a
combined basis.
  (6) (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "closest  control-
ling stockholder" means the corporation that indirectly owns or controls
over fifty percent of the voting stock of a captive REIT or captive RIC,
is subject to tax under this article, article thirty-two or thirty-three
of  this  chapter  or  otherwise  required  to be included in a combined
return or report under this article, article thirty-two or  thirty-three
of  this  chapter,  and  is the fewest tiers of corporations away in the
ownership structure from the captive REIT or captive RIC.   The  commis-
sioner  is  authorized  to prescribe by regulation or published guidance
the criteria for determining the closest controlling stockholder.
  (ii) A captive REIT or a captive RIC must be included  in  a  combined
report  with  the  corporation that directly owns or controls over fifty
percent of the voting stock of the captive REIT or captive RIC  if  that
corporation  is  subject to tax or required to be included in a combined
report under this article.
  (iii) If over fifty percent of the voting stock of a captive  REIT  or
captive RIC is not directly owned or controlled by a corporation that is
subject  to  tax  or  required to be included in a combined report under
this article, then the captive REIT or captive RIC must be included in a
combined return or report with  the  corporation  that  is  the  closest
controlling stockholder of the captive REIT or captive RIC. If the clos-
est  controlling  stockholder  of  the  captive  REIT  or captive RIC is
subject to tax or otherwise required to be included in a combined report
under this article, then  the  captive  REIT  or  captive  RIC  must  be
included in a combined report under this article.
  (iv)  If  the  corporation  that  directly owns or controls the voting
stock of the captive REIT or captive RIC is  described  in  subparagraph
two,  three  or five of this paragraph as a corporation not permitted to
make a combined report, then the provisions  in  clause  (iii)  of  this
subparagraph  must  be  applied  to  determine  the corporation in whose
combined return or report the captive REIT  or  captive  RIC  should  be
included.  If,  under clause (iii) of this subparagraph, the corporation
that is the closest controlling  stockholder  of  the  captive  REIT  or
captive  RIC  is  described  in  subparagraph two, three or five of this
paragraph as a corporation not permitted to make a combined return, then
that corporation is deemed to not be in the ownership structure  of  the

S. 6359--C                         116

captive  REIT  or  captive  RIC, and the closest controlling stockholder
will be determined without regard to that corporation.
  (v)  If  a  captive REIT owns the stock of a qualified REIT subsidiary
(as defined in paragraph two of subsection (i) of section eight  hundred
fifty-six of the internal revenue code), then the qualified REIT subsid-
iary must be included in a combined report with the captive REIT.
  (vi) If a captive REIT or a captive RIC is required under this subpar-
agraph to be included in a combined report with another corporation, and
that  other  corporation  is  also required to be included in a combined
report with another related corporation or corporations under this para-
graph, then the captive REIT or the captive RIC must be included in that
combined report with those corporations.
  (vii) If a captive REIT or  a  captive  RIC  is  not  required  to  be
included in a combined report with another corporation under clause (ii)
or  (iii)  of  this  subparagraph,  or  in  a  combined return under the
provisions of either subparagraph (v) of paragraph two of subsection (f)
of section fourteen hundred sixty-two or paragraph four  of  subdivision
(f) of section fifteen hundred fifteen of this chapter, then the captive
REIT  or  captive RIC is subject to the opening provisions of this para-
graph and the provisions of subparagraph four  of  this  paragraph.  The
captive  REIT or captive RIC must be included in a combined report under
this article with another corporation if either the  substantial  inter-
corporate  transactions  requirement  in  the opening provisions of this
paragraph or the inter-company transactions or agreement, understanding,
arrangement or transaction requirement  of  subparagraph  four  of  this
paragraph  is  satisfied and more than fifty percent of the voting stock
of the captive REIT or the captive RIC  and  substantially  all  of  the
capital  stock  of  that  other  corporation  are  owned and controlled,
directly or indirectly, by the same corporation.
  (7) (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "closest  control-
ling stockholder" means the corporation that indirectly owns or controls
over  fifty  percent  of  the voting stock of an overcapitalized captive
insurance company; is subject to tax under this article or article thir-
ty-two of this chapter, or is otherwise required to  be  included  in  a
combined  return  or  report under this article or article thirty-two of
this chapter; and is the fewest tiers of corporations away in the owner-
ship structure from the overcapitalized captive insurance company.   The
commissioner is authorized to prescribe by regulation or published guid-
ance the criteria for determining the closest controlling stockholder.
  (ii)  An overcapitalized captive insurance company must be included in
a combined report with the corporation that directly  owns  or  controls
over  fifty  percent  of the voting stock of the overcapitalized captive
insurance company if that corporation is subject to tax or  required  to
be included in a combined report under this article.
  (iii)  If over fifty percent of the voting stock of an overcapitalized
captive insurance company is not  directly  owned  or  controlled  by  a
corporation  that  is  subject  to  tax  or required to be included in a
combined report under this article,  then  the  overcapitalized  captive
insurance  company  must be included in a combined return or report with
the corporation that is the closest controlling stockholder of the over-
capitalized captive insurance company. If the closest controlling stock-
holder of the overcapitalized captive insurance company  is  subject  to
tax or otherwise required to be included in a combined report under this
article,  then  the  overcapitalized  captive  insurance company must be
included in a combined report under this article.

S. 6359--C                         117

  (iv) If the corporation that directly  owns  or  controls  the  voting
stock  of  the overcapitalized captive insurance company is described in
subparagraph two, three, or five of this paragraph as a corporation  not
permitted to make a combined report, then the provisions in clause (iii)
of  this  subparagraph  must  be applied to determine the corporation in
whose combined return or report the  overcapitalized  captive  insurance
company should be included. If, under clause (iii) of this subparagraph,
the corporation that is the closest controlling stockholder of the over-
capitalized  captive insurance company is described in subparagraph two,
three or five of this paragraph as a corporation not permitted to make a
combined return, then that corporation is deemed not to be in the owner-
ship structure of the overcapitalized captive insurance company, and the
closest controlling stockholder will be  determined  without  regard  to
that corporation.
  (v)  If an overcapitalized captive insurance company is required under
this subparagraph to be included  in  a  combined  report  with  another
corporation,  and that other corporation is also required to be included
in a combined report with another related  corporation  or  corporations
under this paragraph, then the overcapitalized captive insurance company
must be included in that combined report with those corporations.
  (vi)  If  an overcapitalized captive insurance company is not required
to be included in a  combined  report  with  another  corporation  under
clause (ii) or (iii) of this subparagraph, or in a combined return under
the provisions of subparagraph (v) of paragraph two of subsection (f) of
section  fourteen  hundred sixty-two of this chapter, then the overcapi-
talized captive insurance company is subject to the  opening  provisions
of  this paragraph and the provisions of subparagraph four of this para-
graph. The overcapitalized captive insurance company must be included in
a combined report under this article with another corporation if  either
the  substantial  intercorporate transactions requirement in the opening
provisions of this paragraph or the inter-company transactions or agree-
ment, understanding, arrangement or transaction requirement of  subpara-
graph  four  of  this  paragraph  is satisfied, and both more than fifty
percent of the voting stock of  the  overcapitalized  captive  insurance
company  and substantially all of the capital stock of that other corpo-
ration are owned and controlled, directly or  indirectly,  by  the  same
corporation.
  (b) Computation. (1) Tax. (i) In the case of a combined report the tax
shall  be  measured  by the combined entire net income, combined minimum
taxable income, combined pre-nineteen  hundred  ninety  minimum  taxable
income  or  combined  capital,  of  all the corporations included in the
report, including any  captive  REIT,  captive  RIC  or  overcapitalized
captive  insurance company; provided, however, in no event shall the tax
measured by combined capital exceed the limitation provided for in para-
graph (b) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten of this article.
  (ii) In the case of a captive REIT or captive RIC required under  this
subdivision  to be included in a combined report, entire net income must
be computed as required under subdivision five (in the case of a captive
REIT) or subdivision seven (in the case of a captive RIC) of section two
hundred nine of this article. However, the deduction under the  internal
revenue  code  for  dividends paid by the captive REIT or captive RIC to
any member of the affiliated group that includes  the  corporation  that
directly  or  indirectly  owns over fifty percent of the voting stock of
the captive REIT or captive RIC shall not be allowed for  taxable  years
beginning  on  or  after  January  first,  two  thousand eight. The term
"affiliated group"  means  "affiliated  group"  as  defined  in  section

S. 6359--C                         118

fifteen hundred four of the internal revenue code, but without regard to
the exceptions provided for in subsection (b) of that section.
  (iii)  In  the  case  of  an overcapitalized captive insurance company
required under this subdivision to be included  in  a  combined  report,
entire  net  income  must be computed as required by subdivision nine of
section two hundred eight of this article.
  (2) Tax bases. In computing combined entire net income, combined mini-
mum taxable income or combined pre-nineteen hundred ninety minimum taxa-
ble income intercorporate dividends shall be  eliminated,  in  computing
combined  business  and  investment capital intercorporate stockholdings
and intercorporate bills, notes and accounts receivable and payable  and
other  intercorporate  indebtedness shall be eliminated and in computing
combined subsidiary capital intercorporate stockholdings shall be elimi-
nated, provided, however, that intercorporate dividends from a DISC or a
former DISC not exempt from tax under paragraph (i) of subdivision  nine
of  section two hundred eight of this article which are taxable as busi-
ness income under this article shall not be eliminated.
  (3) Air freight forwarders: allocation. Notwithstanding any  provision
of law to the contrary, where a combined report includes a qualified air
freight  forwarder  and a corporation described in subparagraph seven of
paragraph (a) of subdivision three of section two hundred  ten  of  this
chapter  (relating  to aviation corporations), in computing the combined
business allocation percentage such subparagraph seven shall be  applied
with  respect  to  such  qualified air freight forwarder] FOR PROVISIONS
RELATING TO COMBINED REPORTS, SEE SECTION  TWO  HUNDRED  TEN-C  OF  THIS
ARTICLE.
  5.  In  case it shall appear to the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER that
any agreement, understanding or arrangement exists between the  taxpayer
and  any  other corporation or any person or firm, whereby the activity,
business, income or capital of the taxpayer within the state is  improp-
erly  or  inaccurately  reflected,  the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER is
authorized and empowered, in [its] THE COMMISSIONER'S discretion and  in
such  manner  as [it] THE COMMISSIONER may determine, to adjust items of
income, deductions and capital, and to eliminate assets in computing any
[allocation] APPORTIONMENT percentage  provided  only  that  any  income
directly  traceable  thereto  be  also  excluded from entire net income,
[minimum taxable income or pre-nineteen hundred ninety  minimum  taxable
income,]  so  as  equitably to determine the tax. Where (a) any taxpayer
conducts its activity or business under any  agreement,  arrangement  or
understanding in such manner as either directly or indirectly to benefit
its  members  or  stockholders, or any of them, or any person or persons
directly or indirectly interested  in  such  activity  or  business,  by
entering  into  any transaction at more or less than a fair price which,
but for such agreement, arrangement or understanding,  might  have  been
paid or received therefor, or (b) any taxpayer, a substantial portion of
whose  capital  stock  is owned either directly or indirectly by another
corporation, enters into any transaction with such other corporation  on
such terms as to create an improper loss or net income, the [tax commis-
sion]  COMMISSIONER may include in the entire net income[, minimum taxa-
ble income or pre-nineteen hundred ninety minimum taxable income] of the
taxpayer the fair profits which, but for such agreement, arrangement  or
understanding,  the  taxpayer  might have derived from such transaction.
WHERE ANY TAXPAYER OWNS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, MORE THAN FIFTY PERCENT
OF THE CAPITAL STOCK OF ANOTHER CORPORATION SUBJECT TO TAX UNDER SECTION
FIFTEEN HUNDRED TWO-A OF THIS CHAPTER AND FIFTY PERCENT OR LESS OF WHOSE
GROSS RECEIPTS FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR CONSIST OF PREMIUMS, THE COMMISSION-

S. 6359--C                         119

ER MAY INCLUDE IN THE ENTIRE NET INCOME OF THE  TAXPAYER,  AS  A  DEEMED
DISTRIBUTION, THE AMOUNT OF THE NET INCOME OF THE OTHER CORPORATION THAT
IS IN EXCESS OF ITS NET PREMIUM INCOME.

article nine-A [or article thirty-two] of this chapter or required to be
included in a combined return or report under this article[,] OR article
nine-A  [or article thirty-two] of this chapter, and is the fewest tiers
of corporations away in the ownership structure from the captive REIT or
captive RIC. The commissioner is authorized to prescribe  by  regulation
or  published guidance the criteria for determining the closest control-
ling stockholder.
  (ii) A captive REIT or a captive RIC must be included  in  a  combined
return  with  the  corporation that directly owns or controls over fifty
percent of the voting stock of the captive REIT or captive RIC  if  that
corporation  is  a  life  insurance corporation and is subject to tax or
required to be included in a combined return under this article.
  (iii) If over fifty percent of the voting stock of a captive  REIT  or
captive  RIC  is  not  directly  owned or controlled by a life insurance
corporation that is subject to tax or  required  to  be  included  in  a
combined  return  under  this article, [then the captive REIT or captive
RIC must be included in a combined report or return with the corporation
that is the closest controlling  stockholder  of  the  captive  REIT  or
captive  RIC. If] AND the closest controlling stockholder of the captive
REIT or captive RIC is a life insurance corporation that is  subject  to
tax  or required to be included in a combined return under this article,
then the captive REIT or captive RIC must  be  included  in  a  combined
return WITH THE CLOSEST CONTROLLING STOCKHOLDER under this article.
  (iv)  If  a captive REIT owns the stock of a qualified REIT subsidiary
(as defined in paragraph two of subsection (i) of section eight  hundred
fifty-six of the internal revenue code) AND THE CAPTIVE REIT IS REQUIRED
TO BE INCLUDED IN A COMBINED RETURN UNDER SUBPARAGRAPHS (II) OR (III) OF
THIS  PARAGRAPH,  then the qualified REIT subsidiary must be included in
any combined return required to be made by the captive  REIT  that  owns
the stock of the qualified REIT subsidiary.
  (v)  If  a  captive REIT or a captive RIC is required under this para-
graph to be included in a combined return with another corporation,  and
that  other  corporation is required to be included in a combined return
with another [related] corporation  under  this  subdivision,  then  the
captive REIT or the captive RIC must be included in that combined return
with the other [related] corporation.

article[, for all or any parts of its taxable  years  commencing  on  or

December thirty-first, two thousand eighteen], to be  computed  [at  the
rate  of  eighteen  percent of the tax imposed under section one hundred

taxable  years  ending  before  December  thirty-first, nineteen hundred
eighty-three after the deduction  of  any  credits  otherwise  allowable
under  this  article,  and]  at the rate of seventeen percent of the tax
imposed under such section [for such taxable years or any part  of  such
taxable years ending on or after December thirty-first, nineteen hundred
eighty-three]  after  the deduction of credits otherwise allowable under
this article except any utility credit provided  for  by  article  thir-
teen-A  of  this  chapter;  provided,  however,  that  such rates of tax
surcharge shall be applied only to that portion of the tax imposed under
section one hundred eighty-six-a of this article after the deduction  of
credits otherwise allowable under this article, except any utility cred-
it  provided for by article thirteen-A of this chapter, which is attrib-
utable to the taxpayer's gross income or  gross  operating  income  from
business  activity carried on within the metropolitan commuter transpor-
tation district[; and provided, further, that the tax surcharge  imposed

in the case of the tax imposed under paragraph (a) of subdivision one of
section  one hundred eighty-six-a of this article (relating to providers
of telecommunications services) such tax surcharge shall  be  calculated

  (b) In addition to the surcharge imposed  by  paragraph  (a)  of  this
subdivision,  there  is hereby imposed a surcharge on the gross receipts
from telecommunication services relating to  the  metropolitan  commuter
transportation  district  at  the rate of seventeen percent of the state

of such  section  one  hundred  eighty-six-e  of  this  article  to  the
surcharge  imposed  by  this paragraph within such metropolitan commuter
transportation district so as to include (1) any intra-district telecom-
munication services, except any  telecommunication  services  the  gross
receipts  from  which are subject to tax under subparagraph four of this

inate or terminate in such district and are charged to a service address

this  paragraph, (3) as apportioned to such district, private telecommu-
nication services,  except  any  telecommunication  services  the  gross
receipts  from  which are subject to tax under subparagraph four of this
paragraph, and (4) mobile telecommunications service provided by a  home
service provider where the place of primary use is within such metropol-
itan  commuter  transportation  district.  Provided however, [commencing
October first, nineteen hundred ninety-eight] such tax  surcharge  shall
be  calculated  as  if the tax imposed under section one hundred eighty-
six-e of this article were imposed at  a  rate  of  three  and  one-half
percent.

credit under such paragraphs is required with respect to such sharehold-
er.

such tax, but shall not otherwise include taxes imposed by this  or  any
other  state  of the United States, or any political subdivision of this
or any other state, or the District of Columbia.
  (21) In relation to the disposition of  stock  or  indebtedness  of  a
corporation  which  elected  under  subchapter  s  of chapter one of the

  S  71. Paragraph 2 of subsection (a) of section 632 of the tax law, as
amended by section 2 of part C of chapter 57 of the  laws  of  2010,  is
amended to read as follows:
  (2) In determining New York source income of a nonresident shareholder
of an S corporation where the election provided for in subsection (a) of
section  six  hundred sixty of this article is in effect, there shall be
included only the portion derived from or connected with New York sourc-
es of such shareholder's pro  rata  share  of  items  of  S  corporation
income,  loss  and  deduction  entering  into his federal adjusted gross
income, increased by reductions for taxes described  in  paragraphs  two
and three of subsection (f) of section thirteen hundred sixty-six of the
internal  revenue  code, as such portion shall be determined under regu-
lations of the commissioner consistent with the applicable  methods  and
rules  for allocation under article nine-A [or thirty-two] of this chap-
ter, regardless of whether or not such item or reduction is included  in
entire net income under article nine-A [or thirty-two] for the tax year.
If a nonresident is a shareholder in an S corporation where the election
provided  for  in  subsection  (a)  of section six hundred sixty of this
article is in effect, and the S corporation has distributed an  install-
ment obligation under section 453(h)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code,
then any gain recognized on the receipt of payments from the installment
obligation  for  federal income tax purposes will be treated as New York
source income allocated in a manner consistent with the applicable meth-
ods and rules for allocation under article  nine-A  [or  thirty-two]  of
this  chapter in the year that the assets were sold. In addition, if the
shareholders of the S corporation have made an  election  under  section
338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code, then any gain recognized on the
deemed asset sale for federal income tax purposes will be treated as New
York  source income allocated in a manner consistent with the applicable
methods and rules for allocation under article nine-A [or thirty-two] of
this  chapter  in  the  year  that  the  shareholder  made  the  section
338(h)(10) election. For purposes of a section 338(h)(10) election, when
a  nonresident  shareholder  exchanges his or her S corporation stock as
part of the deemed liquidation, any gain or  loss  recognized  shall  be
treated  as the disposition of an intangible asset and will not increase
or offset any gain recognized on the deemed assets sale as a  result  of
the section 338(h)(10) election.
  S 72. Subparagraph (A) of paragraph 4 of subsection (c) of section 658
of the tax law, as amended by section 1 of part DD of chapter 686 of the

  (A) General. Every entity which is a partnership, other than a public-

Revenue Code, subchapter K limited liability company or an S corporation
for  which  the  election  provided for in subsection (a) of section six
hundred sixty of this [article] PART is in effect, which  has  partners,
members  or  shareholders  who  are  nonresident individuals, as defined
under subsection (b) of section six hundred five of this article,  or  C
corporations,  and  which  has any income derived from New York sources,
determined in accordance  with  the  applicable  rules  of  section  six
hundred thirty-one of this article as in the case of a nonresident indi-
vidual,  shall  pay estimated tax on such income on behalf of such part-
ners, members or shareholders in the manner and at the times  prescribed
by  subsection  (c)  of section six hundred eighty-five of this article.
For purposes of this paragraph, the term "estimated tax"  shall  mean  a
partner's,  member's  or  shareholder's  distributive  share or pro rata
share of the entity income derived from New York sources, multiplied  by

S. 6359--C                         152

the  highest  rate  of tax prescribed by section six hundred one of this
article for the taxable year of any partner, member or  shareholder  who
is  an  individual  taxpayer,  or  paragraph  (a)  of subdivision one of
section  two  hundred  ten  of  this chapter for the taxable year of any
partner, member or shareholder which is a C corporation, whether or  not
such  C corporation is subject to tax under article nine, nine-A[, thir-
ty-two,] or thirty-three of this chapter, and reduced by  the  distribu-
tive share or pro rata share of any credits determined under section one
hundred  eighty-seven,  one  hundred  eighty-seven-a,  six hundred six[,
fourteen hundred fifty-six] or fifteen hundred eleven of  this  chapter,

  (a)  Election.  If  a  corporation  is  an eligible S corporation, the
shareholders of the corporation may elect in the  manner  set  forth  in
subsection  (b)  of  this  section  to  take into account, to the extent
provided for in this article (or in article thirteen of this chapter, in
the case of a shareholder which is a taxpayer under such article), the S
corporation items of income, loss, deduction and  reductions  for  taxes
described in paragraphs two and three of subsection (f) of section thir-
teen hundred sixty-six of the internal revenue code which are taken into
account  for  federal  income  tax  purposes  for  the  taxable year. No
election under this subsection shall be effective unless all  sharehold-
ers of the corporation have so elected. An eligible S corporation is (i)
an  S corporation which is subject to tax under article nine-A [or thir-
ty-two] of this chapter, OR (ii) an S corporation which is the parent of
a qualified subchapter S subsidiary subject to tax under article nine-A,

in the case of an eligible S corporation for which  the  election  under
subsection  (a) of this section is not in effect for the current taxable
year, the shareholders of an eligible S corporation are deemed  to  have
made  that  election  effective  for the eligible S corporation's entire
current taxable year, if the eligible S corporation's investment  income
for  the  current taxable year is more than fifty percent of its federal
gross income for such year [provided  that  this  subsection  shall  not
apply  to an eligible S corporation that is subject to tax under article
thirty-two of this chapter]. IN DETERMINING AN ELIGIBLE S  CORPORATION'S
INVESTMENT  INCOME,  THE  INVESTMENT  INCOME OF A QUALIFIED SUBCHAPTER S
SUBSIDIARY OWNED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY THE  ELIGIBLE  S  CORPORATION

ninety-seven-b, two hundred thirteen-a, two hundred  thirteen-b,  [four-

applying this section and subsections (d) and (e) of this section to the
estimated  tax surcharge, where appropriate the term "tax" shall be read
to mean "tax surcharge," and the terms "amount  required  to  be  paid,"
"amount  which  would  be  required to be paid," and "amount which would
have been required to be paid" shall be computed as the product  of  (1)
such  amount computed without regard to the tax surcharges imposed under
sections  one  hundred  eighty-four-a,  one  hundred  eighty-six-c,  one
hundred  eighty-eight, two hundred nine-A, two hundred nine-B, [fourteen
hundred fifty-five-A, fourteen hundred  fifty-five-B,]  fifteen  hundred
five-a,  and  fifteen  hundred  twenty  of this chapter, and (2) the MTA
percentage. The term "MTA percentage" shall mean the product of (A)  the

  S 78. Paragraph 5 of subsection (d) of section 1085 of the tax law, as
added by chapter 61 of the laws of 1989, is amended to read as follows:
  (5)  In the case of any declaration installment, any reduction in such
installment resulting from the application of paragraph three or four of
this subsection shall be recaptured by increasing the amount of the next
installment determined under paragraph one or two of this subsection  or
paragraph  one  of  subsection (c) of this section by the amount of such
reduction (and by increasing subsequent installments to the extent  that

involved;  provided,  however, that in the case of a corporation subject
to tax under section fifteen hundred two-a of this  chapter,  paragraphs
(1)  and  (2)  of subsection (d) of this section shall not apply if such
corporation had entire net income,  or  the  portion  thereof  allocated
within  the  state,  of one million dollars or more for any of the three
taxable years immediately preceding the taxable year involved, or if the
direct premiums subject to tax under section fifteen  hundred  two-a  of
this  chapter of the corporation for any of such three preceding taxable
years beginning on or after January first, two thousand three equals  or
exceeds three million seven hundred fifty thousand dollars.

income  derived  (or to be derived) by such person from such activity to
the extent such gross income is attributed to the avoidance of  any  tax
imposed  under  articles  nine,  nine-A[, thirty-two] or thirty-three of
this chapter; provided, however, that if an  activity  with  respect  to
which  a  penalty  imposed  under  this  subsection involves a statement

purposes, claim for credit or refund of any resulting overpayment of tax

report or amended return was required to be filed with the  commissioner
[of  taxation  and finance]. If the report or amended return required by

subdivision  (b) of section fifteen hundred one of this article, for the
privilege of exercising its corporate franchise, or of  doing  business,
or  of employing capital, or of owning or leasing property in the metro-
politan commuter transportation district in  a  corporate  or  organized
capacity,  or  of  maintaining  an  office  in the metropolitan commuter

corporations  specified  in  subdivision  (c) of section fifteen hundred
twelve of this article, shall annually pay, in  addition  to  the  taxes
otherwise  imposed by this article, a tax surcharge on the taxes imposed
under this article after the deduction of any credits  otherwise  allow-
able  under this article as allocated to such district. Such taxes shall
be allocated to  such  district  for  purposes  of  computing  such  tax
surcharge upon taxpayers subject to tax under subdivision (b) of section
fifteen  hundred ten of this article by applying the methodology, proce-
dures and computations set forth in subdivisions (a) and (b) of  section
fifteen  hundred  four  of this article, except that references to terms

compensation  and  commissions within New York shall be read as denoting

compensation and commissions shall be read as denoting within the state.
If it shall appear to the commissioner that the application of the meth-
odology, procedures and computations set forth in such subdivisions  (a)
and  (b) does not properly reflect the activity, business or income of a
taxpayer within the metropolitan commuter transportation district,  then
the  commissioner shall be authorized, in the commissioner's discretion,
to adjust such methodology, procedures and computations for the  purpose
of allocating such taxes by:
  (A) excluding one or more factors therein;
  (B)  including  one  or  more other factors therein, such as expenses,
purchases, receipts other  than  premiums,  real  property  or  tangible
personal property; or
  (C)  any  other similar or different method which allocates such taxes
by attributing a fair and proper portion of such taxes to the  metropol-
itan  commuter  transportation  district.  The commissioner from time to
time shall publish all rulings of general public interest  with  respect
to  any  application  of  the  provisions of the preceding sentence. The
commissioner may promulgate rules and regulations to  further  implement
the provisions of this section.
  (3)  Such  tax  surcharge  shall  be computed at the rate of [eighteen
percent of the taxes imposed under  sections  fifteen  hundred  one  and
fifteen  hundred  ten  of  this  article  as  limited by section fifteen
hundred five of this article, as allocated to such  district,  for  such
taxable  years  or any part of such taxable years ending before December

credits otherwise allowable under this article, at the rate of seventeen
percent  of  the taxes imposed under such sections as limited by section

December  thirty-first, nineteen hundred eighty-three and before January
first,  two  thousand three after the deduction of any credits otherwise
allowable under this article, and at the rate of] seventeen  percent  of
the  taxes  imposed  under sections fifteen hundred one, fifteen hundred
two-a, and fifteen hundred ten of this article, as limited or  otherwise
determined  by subdivision (a) or (b) of section fifteen hundred five of
this article, as allocated to such district, [for such taxable years  or
any  part  of such taxable years ending after December thirty-first, two
thousand two] after the deduction of  any  credits  otherwise  allowable
under  this  article[; provided, however, that the tax surcharge imposed
by this section shall not be imposed upon any  taxpayer  for  more  than
four  hundred  thirty-two  months].  Provided  however, that for taxable
years commencing on or after July first, two thousand, and in  the  case
of  taxpayers subject to tax under section fifteen hundred two-a of this
article, for taxable years of such taxpayers beginning on or after  July
first,  two  thousand and before January first, two thousand three, such
surcharge shall be calculated as if (i) the rate  of  the  tax  computed
under paragraph one of subdivision (a) of section fifteen hundred two of
this article was nine percent and (ii) the rate of the limitation on tax
set  forth in section fifteen hundred five of this article for domestic,

administrative code of the city of New York, as amended by section 3  of
part R of chapter 59 of the laws of 2012, is amended to read as follows:
  (1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section
other  than  subdivision  (m) of this section, a corporation that was in
existence before January first, two thousand [twelve] FOURTEEN  and  was
subject to tax under subchapter two of this chapter for its last taxable
year  beginning  before  January  first, two thousand [twelve] FOURTEEN,
shall continue to be taxable under such subchapter for all taxable years
beginning on or after January first, two thousand [twelve] FOURTEEN  and
before  January  first, two thousand [fifteen] SEVENTEEN.  The preceding
sentence shall not apply to any taxable year during  which  such  corpo-
ration  is  a  banking  corporation  described in paragraphs one through
eight of subdivision (a) of this section.   Notwithstanding anything  to
the  contrary  contained  in  this section other than subdivision (m) of
this section, a banking corporation or corporation that was in existence
before January first, two thousand [twelve] FOURTEEN and was subject  to
tax  under  this  subchapter  for its last taxable year beginning before
January first, two thousand [twelve]  FOURTEEN,  shall  continue  to  be
taxable  under  this  subchapter  for  all taxable years beginning on or
after January first, two thousand [twelve] FOURTEEN and  before  January
first,  two  thousand  [fifteen]  SEVENTEEN only if the corporation is a
banking corporation as defined in subdivision (a) of this section or the
corporation satisfies the requirements for a corporation to elect to  be
taxable  under  this  subchapter. Provided further, that nothing in this
subdivision shall prohibit a corporation that elected pursuant to subdi-
vision (d) of this section to be taxable under subchapter  two  of  this
chapter  from  revoking that election in accordance with subdivision (d)
of this section. For purposes of this paragraph, a corporation shall  be
considered to be subject to tax under subchapter two of this chapter for
a  taxable  year if such corporation was not a taxpayer but was properly
included in a combined report filed  pursuant  to  subdivision  four  of
section  11-605  of this chapter for such taxable year and a corporation
shall be considered to be subject to tax under  this  subchapter  for  a
taxable  year  if  such  corporation was not a taxpayer but was properly

S. 6359--C                         164

included in a combined report filed pursuant to subdivision (f)  or  (g)
of section 11-646 of this part for such taxable year. A corporation that
was  in  existence  before January first, two thousand [twelve] FOURTEEN
but  first  becomes  a  taxpayer in a taxable year beginning on or after
January first, two thousand [twelve] FOURTEEN and before January  first,
two  thousand  [fifteen]  SEVENTEEN, shall be considered for purposes of
this paragraph to have been subject to tax under subchapter two of  this
chapter  for  its  last taxable year beginning before January first, two
thousand [twelve] FOURTEEN if such corporation would have  been  subject
to  tax  under  such  subchapter  for such taxable year if it had been a
taxpayer during such taxable year. A corporation that was  in  existence
before January first, two thousand [twelve] FOURTEEN but first becomes a
taxpayer  in  a  taxable  year  beginning on or after January first, two
thousand [twelve]  FOURTEEN  and  before  January  first,  two  thousand
[fifteen]  SEVENTEEN, shall be considered for purposes of this paragraph
to have been subject to tax under this subchapter for its  last  taxable
year  beginning  before January first, two thousand [twelve] FOURTEEN if
such corporation would have been subject to tax  under  this  subchapter
for  such  taxable  year  if  it had been a taxpayer during such taxable
year.
  (2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section
other than subdivision (m) of this section, a corporation formed  on  or
after  January  first, two thousand [twelve] FOURTEEN and before January
first, two thousand [fifteen] SEVENTEEN may elect to be subject  to  tax
under  this  subchapter  or under subchapter two of this chapter for its
first taxable year beginning on or after  January  first,  two  thousand
[twelve]  FOURTEEN  and  before  January  first,  two thousand [fifteen]
SEVENTEEN in which either (i) sixty-five percent or more of  its  voting
stock  is  owned  or  controlled,  directly or indirectly by a financial
holding company, provided the corporation whose voting stock is so owned
or controlled is principally engaged in activities that are described in
section 4(k)(4) or 4(k)(5) of the federal bank holding  company  act  of
nineteen  hundred  fifty-six, as amended and the regulations promulgated
pursuant to the authority of such section or  (ii)  it  is  a  financial
subsidiary. An election under this paragraph may not be made by a corpo-
ration  described  in paragraphs one through eight of subdivision (a) of
this section or in subdivision (e) of  this  section.  In  addition,  an
election under this paragraph may not be made by a corporation that is a
party  to  a reorganization, as defined in subsection (a) of section 368
of the internal revenue code of  1986,  as  amended,  of  a  corporation
described in paragraph one of this subdivision if both corporations were
sixty-five  percent  or more owned or controlled, directly or indirectly
by the same interests at the time of the reorganization.
  An election under this paragraph must be made by the  taxpayer  on  or
before  the  due  date  for filing its return (determined with regard to
extensions of time for filing) for  the  applicable  taxable  year.  The
election  to be taxed under subchapter two of this chapter shall be made
by the taxpayer by filing the return required  pursuant  to  subdivision
one of section 11-605 of this chapter and the election to be taxed under
this  subchapter  shall  be  made  by  the taxpayer by filing the return
required pursuant to subdivision (a) of section 11-646 of this part. Any
election made pursuant to this paragraph shall be irrevocable and  shall
apply  to  each  subsequent  taxable  year beginning on or after January
first, two thousand [twelve] FOURTEEN  and  before  January  first,  two
thousand  [fifteen]  SEVENTEEN,  provided  that  the stock ownership and
activities requirements described in subparagraph (i) of this  paragraph

S. 6359--C                         165

are met or such corporation described in subparagraph (ii) of this para-
graph continues as a financial subsidiary.
  S  112. Subparagraph (iv) of paragraph 2 of subdivision (f) of section
11-646 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as amended by
section 4 of part R of chapter 59 of the laws of  2012,  is  amended  to
read as follows:
  (iv)  (A)  Notwithstanding  any  provision of this paragraph, any bank
holding company exercising its corporate franchise or doing business  in
the  city  may  make  a  return  on a combined basis without seeking the
permission of the commissioner with any banking  corporation  exercising
its  corporate franchise or doing business in the city in a corporate or
organized capacity sixty-five percent or more of whose voting  stock  is
owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by such bank holding compa-
ny,  for the first taxable year beginning on or after January first, two
thousand and before January  first,  two  thousand  [fifteen]  SEVENTEEN
during  which  such  bank  holding  company registers for the first time
under the federal bank holding company act, as amended, and also  elects
to  be  a  financial  holding  company. In addition, for each subsequent
taxable year beginning after January  first,  two  thousand  and  before
January  first,  two thousand [fifteen] SEVENTEEN, any such bank holding
company may file on a combined basis without seeking the  permission  of
the  commissioner  with  any  banking corporation that is exercising its
corporate franchise or doing business in the city and sixty-five percent
or more of whose voting stock is owned or controlled, directly or  indi-
rectly,  by such bank holding company if either such banking corporation
is exercising its corporate franchise or doing business in the city in a
corporate or organized capacity for the first time  during  such  subse-
quent taxable year, or sixty-five percent or more of the voting stock of
such banking corporation is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly,
by  such  bank holding company for the first time during such subsequent
taxable year.  Provided however, for each subsequent taxable year begin-
ning after January first, two thousand and  before  January  first,  two
thousand  [fifteen] SEVENTEEN, a banking corporation described in either
of the two preceding sentences which filed on a combined basis with  any
such  bank  holding company in a previous taxable year, must continue to
file on a combined basis with such bank holding company if such  banking
corporation,  during such subsequent taxable year, continues to exercise
its corporate franchise or do business in the city  in  a  corporate  or
organized capacity and sixty-five percent or more of such banking corpo-
ration's  voting  stock continues to be owned or controlled, directly or
indirectly, by such bank holding company, unless the permission  of  the
commissioner  has  been  obtained  to  file on a separate basis for such
subsequent taxable year. Provided further, however, for each  subsequent
taxable  year  beginning  after  January  first, two thousand and before
January first, two thousand [fifteen] SEVENTEEN, a  banking  corporation
described  in either of the first two sentences of this clause which did
not file on a combined basis with any such bank  holding  company  in  a
previous  taxable  year, may not file on a combined basis with such bank
holding company during any  such  subsequent  taxable  year  unless  the
permission  of  the commissioner has been obtained to file on a combined
basis for such subsequent taxable year.
  (B) Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph other than  clause
(A)  of this subparagraph, the commissioner may not require a bank hold-
ing company which, during a taxable year beginning on or  after  January
first,  two  thousand  and  before January first, two thousand [fifteen]
SEVENTEEN, registers for the first time during such taxable  year  under

S. 6359--C                         166

the  federal bank holding company act, as amended, and also elects to be
a financial holding company, to make a return on a  combined  basis  for
any  taxable  year beginning on or after January first, two thousand and
before  January  first,  two thousand [fifteen] SEVENTEEN with a banking
corporation sixty-five percent or more of whose voting stock is owned or
controlled, directly or indirectly, by such bank holding company.
  S 113.   Severability. If any provision of  this  act  shall  for  any
reason  be finally adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, such judgment shall  not  affect,  impair,  or  invalidate  the
remainder  of  this  act,  but shall be confined in its operation to the
provision directly involved in the controversy in  which  such  judgment
shall  have  been rendered. It is hereby declared to be in the intent of
the legislature that this act would  have  been  enacted  even  if  such
invalid  provision  had not been included in this act. Provided further,
if a court of final,  competent  jurisdiction  adjudges  the  tax  rates
imposed on qualified New York manufacturers to be invalid, qualified New
York  manufacturers  shall be subject to the same tax rates as all other
taxpayers subject to tax under article 9-A  of  the  tax  law.  Provided
further,  if  a court of final, competent jurisdiction adjudges that any
of the tax credits provided by this act to be invalid,  such  credit  or
credits  shall be deemed repealed and shall be of no force and effect as
to any taxpayers.
  S 114. This act shall take effect January 1, 2015 and shall  apply  to

ments  to  section 25 of the tax law made by section forty-three of this

ing paragraph of subdivision (a), subparagraph (C)  of  paragraph  2  of
subdivision (e) and subdivision (f) of section 35 of the tax law made by
section fifty of this act shall not affect the repeal of such provisions
and  shall  be  deemed  repealed  therewith; provided, further, that the
amendments to clause (xxxii) of  subparagraph  (B)  of  paragraph  1  of
subsection (i) of section 606 of the tax law made by section sixty-eight
of  this  act  shall  not  affect the repeal of such clause and shall be
deemed repealed therewith; provided, further,  that  the  amendments  to
clause  (xxxiii) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph 1 of subsection (i) of
section 606 of the tax law made by section sixty-eight of this act shall
not affect the repeal of such clause and shall be deemed repealed there-
with; and provided, further, that  the  amendments  to  clause  (ii)  of
subparagraph  (B)  of  paragraph  2  of  subsection  (q), paragraph 3 of
subsection (s) and the closing paragraph of paragraph  1  of  subsection
(t)  of  section  1085 of the tax law made by section eighty-one of this

  Section  1. Subsection (b) of section 612 of the tax law is amended by
adding a new paragraph 40 to read as follows:
  (40) IN THE CASE OF A BENEFICIARY OF A TRUST NOT SUBJECT TO TAX PURSU-
ANT TO SUBPARAGRAPH (D) OF PARAGRAPH THREE OF SUBSECTION (B) OF  SECTION
SIX  HUNDRED  FIVE  OF  THIS  ARTICLE  (EXCEPT  FOR  AN  INCOMPLETE GIFT
NON-GRANTOR  TRUST,  AS  DEFINED  BY   PARAGRAPH   FORTY-ONE   OF   THIS
SUBSECTION), THE AMOUNT OF ANY ACCUMULATION DISTRIBUTION AS DESCRIBED IN
SUBSECTION (B) OF SECTION SIX HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE
CODE  FOR  THE  TAX  YEAR  NOT TO EXCEED THE UNDISTRIBUTED NET INCOME AS
DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION (A) OF SECTION SIX  HUNDRED  SIXTY-FIVE  OF  THE
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE FOR APPLICABLE YEARS, SUCH AMOUNT TO BE DETERMINED
WITHOUT  REGARD  TO  SUBSECTION (C) OF SECTION SIX HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE OF
THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, TO THE EXTENT NOT ALREADY INCLUDED IN FEDERAL
GROSS INCOME FOR THE TAX YEAR, EXCEPT THAT, IN COMPUTING THE  AMOUNT  TO
BE  ADDED  UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH, SUCH BENEFICIARY SHALL DISREGARD INCOME
EARNED BY A TRUST IN A TAXABLE YEAR STARTING BEFORE JANUARY  FIRST,  TWO
THOUSAND  FOURTEEN AND IN ANY TAXABLE YEAR IN WHICH ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
CONDITIONS EXIST: (I) SUCH BENEFICIARY WAS NOT A RESIDENT OF  THE  STATE
DURING  SUCH  TAXABLE YEAR; (II) THE INCOME ACCUMULATED BY THE TRUST WAS
ACCUMULATED PRIOR TO THE BIRTH OF THE BENEFICIARY; OR (III)  THE  INCOME
ACCUMULATED  BY  THE  TRUST  WAS  ACCUMULATED PRIOR TO THE BENEFICIARY'S
TWENTY-FIRST BIRTHDAY. FOR PURPOSES OF  THIS  PARAGRAPH,  A  BENEFICIARY

FORTH ABOVE IN SUBPARAGRAPHS (I), (II) AND (III) OF THIS  PARAGRAPH,  IS

S. 6359--C                         172

ELIGIBLE  TO  RECEIVE  A  DISTRIBUTION  DURING THE TAX YEAR IN WHICH THE
DISTRIBUTION FIRST COULD HAVE BEEN MADE.
  S 2. Subsection (b) of section 612 of the tax law is amended by adding
a new paragraph 41 to read as follows:
  (41)  IN  THE CASE OF A TAXPAYER WHO TRANSFERRED PROPERTY TO AN INCOM-
PLETE GIFT  NON-GRANTOR  TRUST,  THE  INCOME  OF  THE  TRUST,  LESS  ANY
DEDUCTIONS  OF  THE  TRUST,  TO THE EXTENT SUCH INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS OF
SUCH TRUST WOULD BE TAKEN  INTO  ACCOUNT  IN  COMPUTING  THE  TAXPAYER'S
FEDERAL  TAXABLE  INCOME IF SUCH TRUST IN ITS ENTIRETY WERE TREATED AS A
GRANTOR TRUST FOR FEDERAL TAX PURPOSES. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS  PARAGRAPH,
AN "INCOMPLETE GIFT NON-GRANTOR TRUST" MEANS A RESIDENT TRUST THAT MEETS
THE  FOLLOWING  CONDITIONS:  (I) THE TRUST DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A GRANTOR
TRUST UNDER SECTION SIX HUNDRED SEVENTY-ONE THROUGH SIX  HUNDRED  SEVEN-
TY-NINE  OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, AND (2) THE GRANTOR'S TRANSFER OF
ASSETS TO THE TRUST IS TREATED AS AN INCOMPLETE GIFT UNDER SECTION TWEN-
TY-FIVE HUNDRED ELEVEN OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, AND THE REGULATIONS
THEREUNDER.
  S 3. Section 621 of the tax law, as added by chapter 272 of  the  laws

  S 621. [Credit] CREDITS to trust  beneficiary  receiving  accumulation
distribution.   (a) General. A resident beneficiary of a trust whose New
York adjusted gross income includes  all  or  part  of  an  accumulation
distribution by such trust, as defined in section six hundred sixty-five
of the internal revenue code, INCLUDING A BENEFICIARY WHO IS REQUIRED TO
MAKE  THE  MODIFICATION REQUIRED BY PARAGRAPH FORTY OF SUBSECTION (B) OF
SECTION SIX HUNDRED TWELVE OF THIS PART, shall be allowed (1)  a  credit
against  the  tax  otherwise due under this article for all or a propor-
tionate part of any tax paid by the trust under this  article  or  under
FORMER article sixteen of this chapter (as such article was in effect on
or before December thirtieth, nineteen hundred sixty), for any preceding
taxable  year which would not have been payable if the trust had in fact
made distributions to its beneficiaries at the times and in the  amounts
specified in section six hundred sixty-six of the internal revenue code;
AND (2) A CREDIT AGAINST THE TAXES IMPOSED BY THIS ARTICLE FOR THE TAXA-
BLE YEAR FOR ANY INCOME TAX IMPOSED ON THE TRUST FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR OR
ANY  PRIOR  TAXABLE  YEAR BY ANOTHER STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, A POLI-
TICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, OR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, UPON INCOME BOTH
DERIVED THEREFROM AND SUBJECT TO TAX UNDER THIS ARTICLE,  PROVIDED  THAT
THE  AMOUNT  OF  THE  CREDIT  SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PERCENTAGE OF THE TAX
OTHERWISE DUE UNDER THIS ARTICLE DETERMINED BY DIVIDING THE  PORTION  OF
THE  INCOME THAT IS BOTH TAXABLE TO THE TRUST IN SUCH OTHER JURISDICTION
AND TAXABLE TO THE BENEFICIARY UNDER THIS ARTICLE BY THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF
THE BENEFICIARY'S NEW YORK INCOME.
  (b) Limitation. The [credit] CREDITS  under  this  section  shall  not
reduce  the tax otherwise due from the beneficiary under this article to
an amount less than would have been due if the accumulation distribution
or his part thereof were excluded  from  his  New  York  adjusted  gross
income.
  S  4. Section 658 of the tax law is amended by adding a new subsection
(f) to read as follows:
   (F) (1) EVERY NONRESIDENT TRUST OR A TRUST DESCRIBED BY  SUBPARAGRAPH

THIS ARTICLE SHALL MAKE A RETURN FOR ANY TAXABLE YEAR IN WHICH IT  MAKES
AN  ACCUMULATION  DISTRIBUTION  WITHIN THE MEANING OF SUBDIVISION (B) OF
SECTION SIX HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE TO A BENEFI-

S. 6359--C                         173

CIARY WHO IS A RESIDENT, WHICH  RETURN  SHALL  INCLUDE  (I)  INFORMATION
IDENTIFYING SUCH RESIDENT, (II) THE AMOUNT OF SUCH ACCUMULATION DISTRIB-
UTION, AND (III) SUCH OTHER INFORMATION AS THE COMMISSIONER MAY REQUIRE.
  (2)  EVERY  RESIDENT  TRUST  THAT DOES NOT FILE THE RETURN REQUIRED BY
SECTION SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-ONE OF THIS PART ON THE GROUND THAT IT IS  NOT
SUBJECT  TO  TAX  PURSUANT  TO  SUBPARAGRAPH  (D)  OF PARAGRAPH THREE OF
SUBSECTION (B) OF SECTION SIX HUNDRED FIVE OF THIS ARTICLE FOR THE TAXA-
BLE YEAR SHALL MAKE A RETURN FOR SUCH TAXABLE  YEAR  SUBSTANTIATING  ITS
ENTITLEMENT  TO  THAT  EXEMPTION AND PROVIDING SUCH OTHER INFORMATION AS
THE COMMISSIONER MAY REQUIRE.
  (3) THE RETURNS REQUIRED BY THIS  SUBSECTION  SHALL  BE  FILED  ON  OR
BEFORE THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF THE FOURTH MONTH FOLLOWING THE CLOSE OF EACH
TAXABLE  YEAR.  FOR  PURPOSES  OF THIS PARAGRAPH, "TAXABLE YEAR" MEANS A
YEAR OR A PERIOD WHICH WOULD BE A TAXABLE YEAR OF THE TRUST IF  IT  WERE
SUBJECT TO TAX UNDER THIS ARTICLE.
  S  5.  Paragraph 2 of subsection (h) of section 685 of the tax law, as
amended by chapter 190 of the laws  of  1990,  is  amended  to  read  as
follows:
  (2)  If any partnership [or], S corporation, OR TRUST required to file
a return or report under subsection (c) OR SUBSECTION (F) of section six
hundred fifty-eight or under section  six  hundred  fifty-nine  OF  THIS
ARTICLE  for any taxable year fails to file such return or report at the
time prescribed therefor (determined with regard  to  any  extension  of
time  for  filing),  or files a return or report which fails to show the
information required under such subsection (c) or  section  six  hundred
fifty-nine  OF THIS ARTICLE, unless it is shown that such failure is due
to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect,  there  shall,  upon
notice  and demand by the commissioner and in the same manner as tax, be
paid by the partnership or S corporation a penalty for  each  month  (or
fraction thereof) during which such failure continues (but not to exceed
five months). The amount of such penalty for any month is the product of
fifty  dollars,  multiplied by the number of partners in the partnership
or shareholders in the S corporation during any part of the taxable year
who were subject to tax under this article during any part of such taxa-
ble year, EXCEPT THAT, IN THE CASE OF A  TRUST,  THE  PENALTY  SHALL  BE
EQUAL  TO  ONE  HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS A MONTH UP TO A MAXIMUM OF FIFTEEN
HUNDRED DOLLARS PER TAXABLE YEAR.
  S 6. Subdivision (b) of section 11-1712 of the administrative code  of
the  city of New York is amended by adding a new paragraph 36 to read as
follows:
  (36) IN THE CASE OF A BENEFICIARY OF A TRUST NOT SUBJECT TO TAX PURSU-
ANT TO SUBPARAGRAPH (D) OF PARAGRAPH THREE OF SUBSECTION (B) OF  SECTION
11-1705  OF  THIS  CHAPTER  (EXCEPT  FOR  AN INCOMPLETE GIFT NON-GRANTOR
TRUST, AS DEFINED BY PARAGRAPH THIRTY-SEVEN OF  THIS  SUBDIVISION),  THE
AMOUNT  OF  ANY ACCUMULATION DISTRIBUTION AS DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION (B)
OF SECTION SIX HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE  FOR  THE
TAX  YEAR  NOT  TO  EXCEED  THE UNDISTRIBUTED NET INCOME AS DESCRIBED IN

CODE FOR APPLICABLE YEARS, SUCH AMOUNT TO BE DETERMINED  WITHOUT  REGARD
TO  SUBSECTION  (C)  OF  SECTION  SIX HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE, TO THE EXTENT NOT ALREADY INCLUDED IN FEDERAL GROSS INCOME
FOR THE TAX YEAR, EXCEPT THAT, IN COMPUTING THE AMOUNT TO BE ADDED UNDER
THIS PARAGRAPH, SUCH BENEFICIARY SHALL  DISREGARD  INCOME  EARNED  BY  A
TRUST  IN  A  TAXABLE  YEAR  STARTING BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND
FOURTEEN AND IN ANY TAXABLE YEAR IN WHICH ANY OF  THE  FOLLOWING  CONDI-
TIONS EXIST: (I) SUCH BENEFICIARY WAS NOT A RESIDENT OF THE STATE DURING

S. 6359--C                         174

  (37)  IN  THE CASE OF A TAXPAYER WHO TRANSFERRED PROPERTY TO AN INCOM-
PLETE GIFT  NON-GRANTOR  TRUST,  THE  INCOME  OF  THE  TRUST,  LESS  ANY
DEDUCTIONS  OF  SUCH  TRUST, TO THE EXTENT SUCH INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS OF
SUCH TRUST WOULD BE TAKEN  INTO  ACCOUNT  IN  COMPUTING  THE  TAXPAYER'S
FEDERAL  TAXABLE  INCOME IF SUCH TRUST IN ITS ENTIRETY WERE TREATED AS A
GRANTOR TRUST FOR FEDERAL TAX PURPOSES. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS  PARAGRAPH,
AN "INCOMPLETE GIFT NON-GRANTOR TRUST" MEANS A RESIDENT TRUST THAT MEETS
THE  FOLLOWING  CONDITIONS:  (I) THE TRUST DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A GRANTOR
TRUST UNDER SECTION SIX HUNDRED SEVENTY-ONE THROUGH SIX  HUNDRED  SEVEN-
TY-NINE  OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, AND (2) THE GRANTOR'S TRANSFER OF
ASSETS TO THE TRUST IS TREATED AS AN INCOMPLETE GIFT UNDER SECTION TWEN-
TY FIVE HUNDRED ELEVEN OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, AND THE REGULATIONS

against  the  tax  otherwise due under this chapter for all or a propor-
tionate part of any tax paid by the trust under this  chapter  or  under
FORMER  title  T  of chapter forty-six of this code, as it was in effect
prior to September first, nineteen hundred eighty-six, for any preceding
taxable year which would not have been payable if the trust had in  fact
made  distributions to its beneficiaries at the times and in the amounts
specified in section six hundred sixty-six of the internal revenue code;
AND (2) A CREDIT AGAINST THE TAXES IMPOSED BY THIS CHAPTER FOR THE TAXA-

or in part, the  taxpayer  or  employer  shall  report  such  change  or
correction  or  disallowance within ninety days after the final determi-
nation of such change, correction, renegotiation or disallowance, or  as

of such determination or state wherein it is erroneous.   The  allowance
of  a  tentative  carryback  adjustment  based upon a net operating loss
carryback pursuant to section sixty-four hundred eleven of the  internal

described in paragraphs two and three of subsection (f) of section thir-
teen hundred sixty-six of the internal revenue code.  Reports made under

of the change in each item of income, gain, loss or deduction  (and,  in
the case of a corporation, of each change in, or disallowance of a claim
for  credit  or  refund of, a tax referred to in the preceding sentence)
allocable to each partner or shareholder and shall set forth such  iden-

  4.  Tracks. The commissioner, in consultation with the commissioner of
health, shall propose within twelve months and thereafter timely promul-
gate regulations which create a multi-track approach for the remediation
of contamination, and, commencing on the effective date  of  such  regu-
lations,  utilize  such  multi-track  approach.  Such  regulations shall
provide that groundwater  use  in  Tracks  2,  3  or  4  can  be  either
restricted or unrestricted. The tracks shall be as follows:
  Track  1: The remedial program shall achieve a cleanup level that will
allow the site to be used for any purpose without restriction and  with-
out reliance on the long-term employment of institutional or engineering
controls,  and shall achieve contaminant-specific remedial action objec-
tives for soil which conform with those contained in the  generic  table
of  contaminant-specific remedial action objectives for unrestricted use
developed pursuant to subdivision six of this section.  Provided, howev-
er, that volunteers whose proposed remedial program [for the remediation
of groundwater] (1)(I) may require the long-term employment of  institu-
tional  or engineering controls FOR THE REMEDIATION OF GROUNDWATER after
the bulk reduction of groundwater contamination to asymptotic levels has
been achieved OR  (II)  MAY  REQUIRE  AN  INSTITUTIONAL  OR  ENGINEERING
CONTROL  FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS SOLELY TO ADDRESS SOIL VAPOR INTRUSION
FROM THEIR OWN SITE OR LONGER TO ADDRESS  OFF-SITE  VAPOR  ENTERING  THE
SITE;  but  (2)  whose program would otherwise conform with the require-
ments necessary to qualify for Track 1, shall qualify for Track 1.
  Track 2: The remedial program may include restrictions on the  use  of
the  site  or reliance on the long-term employment of engineering and/or
institutional controls, but shall achieve contaminant-specific  remedial
action  objectives for soil which conform with those contained in one of
the generic tables developed pursuant to subdivision six of this section

S. 6359--C                         190

without the use of institutional or engineering controls to  reach  such
objectives.
  Track 3: The remedial program shall achieve contaminant-specific reme-
dial  action objectives for soil which conform with the criteria used to
develop the generic tables for such  objectives  developed  pursuant  to
subdivision six of this section but may use site specific data to deter-
mine such objectives.
  Track  4: The remedial program shall achieve a cleanup level that will
be protective for the site's current, intended or reasonably anticipated
residential, commercial, or industrial use with  restrictions  and  with
reliance  on  the  long-term  employment of institutional or engineering
controls  to  achieve  such  level.  The  regulations  shall  include  a
provision  requiring  that  a cleanup level which poses a risk in excee-
dance of an excess cancer risk of one in one  million  for  carcinogenic
end  points  and  a  hazard index of one for non-cancer end points for a
specific contaminant at a specific site may be approved by  the  depart-
ment  without requiring the use of institutional or engineering controls
to eliminate exposure only upon a site specific finding by  the  commis-
sioner, in consultation with the commissioner of health, that such level
shall be protective of public health and environment. Such finding shall
be  included  in  the  draft  remedial  work plan for the site and fully
described in the notice and fact sheet provided for such work plan.

determination that site conditions meet the requirements of  this  title
without  the  necessity  for  remediation pursuant to section 27-1411 of
this title, the department, in consultation  with  the  applicant,  must
notify  individuals  on  the  brownfield  site contact list. Such notice
shall include a fact sheet  describing  such  plan  and  provide  for  a
forty-five  day  public  comment  period.  The commissioner shall hold a
public meeting if requested by the affected community  and  the  commis-
sioner  has  found that the site constitutes a significant threat to the
public health or the environment. Further, the  affected  community  may
request  a  public meeting at sites that do not constitute a significant
threat. (1) To the extent that the department has determined  that  site
conditions  do  not  pose  a  significant  threat  and the site is being
addressed by a volunteer, the notice shall state that the department has
determined that no remediation is required for the  off-site  areas  and
that  the  department's determination of a significant threat is subject
to this forty-five day comment period. (2) If the [remedial  work  plan]
REMEDY  includes  a Track 2, Track 3 or Track 4 remedy at a non-signifi-
cant threat site, such comment period shall apply both to  the  approval
of  the  alternatives analysis by the department, IF APPLICABLE, and the

  An  environmental  easement  may  be  enforced in law or equity by its
grantor, by the state, or any affected local government  as  defined  in
section  71-3603 of this title. Such easement is enforceable against the
owner of the burdened property, any lessees, and any  person  using  the
land.  Enforcement  shall  not  be  defeated  because  of any subsequent
adverse possession, laches, estoppel, REVERSION or  waiver.  No  general
law  of the state which operates to defeat the enforcement of any inter-
est in real property shall operate to  defeat  the  enforcement  of  any
environmental  easement  unless  such  general  law expressly states the
intent to defeat the enforcement of such easement or  provides  for  the
exercise  of  the  power  of  eminent domain. It is not a defense in any
action to enforce an environmental easement that:

S. 6359--C                         194

  (3) Tangible property credit component. The tangible  property  credit
component  shall  be  equal  to the applicable percentage of the cost or
other basis for federal income tax purposes of tangible personal proper-
ty and other  tangible  property,  including  buildings  and  structural
components  of  buildings, which constitute qualified tangible property;
provided[, however,] that in determining the cost or other basis of such
property, the taxpayer shall exclude the acquisition cost of any item of
property with respect to which a credit under this section was allowable
to another taxpayer. The credit component amount so determined shall  be
allowed  for  the taxable year in which such qualified tangible property
is placed in service; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT  SUCH  PROPERTY  SHALL  BE
PLACED IN SERVICE DURING THE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY MONTH PERIOD THAT BEGINS
WITH THE FIRST DAY OF THE FIRST TAXABLE YEAR IN WHICH QUALIFIED TANGIBLE
PROPERTY IS PLACED IN SERVICE on a qualified site [with respect to which
a  certificate  of  completion has been issued to the taxpayer for up to
ten taxable years after the date of the issuance of such certificate  of
completion].  The  tangible  property  credit component shall be allowed
with respect to property leased to a second party only  if  such  second
party  is either (i) not a party responsible for the disposal of hazard-
ous waste or the discharge of petroleum at the site according to  appli-
cable  principles  of statutory or common law liability, or (ii) a party
responsible according to applicable principles of  statutory  or  common
law  liability if such party's liability arises solely from operation of
the site subsequent to the disposal of hazardous waste or the  discharge
of  petroleum,  and is so certified by the commissioner of environmental
conservation at the request of the taxpayer, pursuant to section 27-1419
of  the  environmental  conservation  law.  Notwithstanding  any   other
provision  of  law  to  the contrary, in the case of allowance of credit
under this section to such a lessor, the  commissioner  shall  have  the
authority  to reveal to such lessor any information, with respect to the
issue of qualified use of property by the lessee, which is the basis for
the denial in whole or in part, or for  the  recapture,  of  the  credit
claimed  by  such  lessor.  For purposes of the tangible property credit
component allowed under this section the taxpayer to  whom  the  certif-
icate of completion is issued, as provided for under subdivision five of
section  27-1419 of the environmental conservation law, may transfer the
benefits and burdens of the certificate of completion,  which  run  with
the  land  and to the applicant's successors or assigns upon transfer or
sale of all or any portion of an interest or  estate  in  the  qualified
site.  However,  the taxpayer to whom certificate's benefits and burdens
are transferred shall not include the  cost  of  acquiring  all  or  any
portion of an interest or estate in the site and the amounts included in
the  cost  or  other  basis for federal income tax purposes of qualified
tangible property already claimed by the previous taxpayer  pursuant  to
this section.

  (A)  Notwithstanding  any  other provision of law to the contrary, the
tangible property credit component  available  for  any  qualified  site
pursuant  to  paragraph three of this subdivision shall not exceed thir-
ty-five million dollars or three times the SUM OF THE costs included  in
the calculation of the site preparation credit component and the on-site
groundwater  remediation credit component under paragraphs two and four,
respectively, of this subdivision, AND THE COSTS THAT  WOULD  HAVE  BEEN
INCLUDED  IN  THE  CALCULATION  OF  SUCH COMPONENTS IF NOT TREATED AS AN

S. 6359--C                         195

EXPENSE AND DEDUCTED PURSUANT TO SECTION ONE HUNDRED NINETY-EIGHT OF THE
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, whichever is less; provided, however,  that:  (1)
in  the  case of a qualified site to be used primarily for manufacturing
activities,  the  tangible  property  credit component available for any
qualified site pursuant to paragraph three of this subdivision shall not
exceed forty-five million dollars or six times  the  SUM  OF  THE  costs
included in the calculation of the site preparation credit component and
the  on-site  groundwater  remediation credit component under paragraphs
two and four, respectively, of this  subdivision,  AND  THE  COSTS  THAT
WOULD  HAVE  BEEN  INCLUDED IN THE CALCULATION OF SUCH COMPONENTS IF NOT
TREATED AS AN EXPENSE AND DEDUCTED PURSUANT TO SECTION ONE HUNDRED NINE-
TY-EIGHT OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, whichever is less;  and  (2)  the
provisions  of  this paragraph shall not apply to any qualified site for
which the department of environmental conservation has issued  a  notice
to  the  taxpayer  before June twenty-third, two thousand eight that its
request for participation has been accepted  under  subdivision  six  of
section 27-1407 of the environmental conservation law.

  (D) If the qualifying site is located in a brownfield opportunity area
and  is  developed  in  conformance with the goals and priorities estab-
lished for that applicable brownfield  opportunity  area  as  designated
pursuant to section nine hundred seventy-r of the general municipal law,
the applicable percentage of the tangible property credit component will
be increased by [two] FOUR percent.
  S 24. Subdivision 2 of section 355 of the economic development law, as
amended  by  section  4  of part G of chapter 61 of the laws of 2011, is

excelsior  jobs program shall be eligible to claim a credit on qualified
investments. The credit shall be equal to two percent  of  the  cost  or
other basis for federal income tax purposes of the qualified investment.
A  participant  may  not  claim both the excelsior investment tax credit
component and the investment tax credit set forth in subdivision  twelve
of  section  two hundred ten, subsection (a) of section six hundred six,
subsection (i) of section fourteen hundred fifty-six, or subdivision (q)
of section fifteen hundred eleven of the tax law for the  same  property
in  any  taxable  year,  except  that  a  participant may claim both the
excelsior investment tax credit component and the investment tax  credit
for  research  and development property. [In addition, a taxpayer who or
which is qualified to claim the excelsior investment tax  credit  compo-
nent  and  is  also  qualified to claim the brownfield tangible property
credit component under section twenty-one  of  the  tax  law  may  claim
either  the  excelsior  investment tax credit component or such tangible
property credit component, but not both  with  regard  to  a  particular
piece  of property.] A credit may not be claimed until a business enter-
prise has received a certificate of tax credit, provided that  qualified
investments  made  on or after the issuance of the certificate of eligi-
bility but before the issuance of the certificate of tax credit  to  the
business  enterprise, may be claimed in the first taxable year for which
the business  enterprise  is  allowed  to  claim  the  credit.  Expenses
incurred  prior to the date the certificate of eligibility is issued are
not eligible to be included in the calculation of the credit.

thirty-two or thirty-three of this chapter, and ten percent in the  case
of  credits  claimed  under  article twenty-two of this chapter,] except
that where at least fifty percent of the  area  of  the  qualified  site
relating  to  the  credit  provided for in this section is located in an
environmental zone as defined in paragraph six  of  subdivision  (b)  of
this  section,  the applicable percentage shall be increased by an addi-
tional eight percent. Provided, however, as afforded in section  27-1419
of  the environmental conservation law, if the certificate of completion
indicates that the qualified site has been remediated to Track 1 as that

ation  to  prepare a nomination for designation of a brownfield opportu-
nity area. Such financial assistance shall not exceed ninety percent  of
the costs of such nomination for any such area.  A NOMINATION STUDY MUST
INCLUDE  SUFFICIENT  INFORMATION TO DESIGNATE THE BROWNFIELD OPPORTUNITY
AREA DISTRICT. THE CONTENTS OF THE NOMINATION STUDY SHALL  BE  DEVELOPED

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OR EQUIVALENT LAND USE STUDY MAY BE SEPARATELY DEVEL-
OPED UNDER THIS PROGRAM AS AN  IMPLEMENTATION  STRATEGY  FOR  THE  FINAL
BROWNFIELD OPPORTUNITY AREA PLAN. SINCE A NOMINATION STUDY IS NOT EQUIV-
ALENT  TO A FINAL LAND USE PLAN, THE PREPARATION OF THE NOMINATION STUDY
DOES NOT REQUIRE REVIEW UNDER THE STATE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY REVIEW ACT
PURSUANT TO ARTICLE EIGHT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION LAW,  AND  A
BROWNFIELD  OPPORTUNITY  AREA  CAN  BE DESIGNATED BASED EXCLUSIVELY ON A
NOMINATION STUDY. IN THE EVENT THE MUNICIPALITY AND/OR  COMMUNITY  BASED
ORGANIZATION  ELECT  TO DEVELOP IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES, INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO A MASTER PLAN, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OR URBAN RENEWAL  PLAN,
REVIEW  UNDER  THE  STATE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY REVIEW ACT UNDER ARTICLE
EIGHT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION LAW IS REQUIRED. NO  SUCH  NOMI-
NATION  STUDY SHALL SUPERSEDE AN EXISTING MASTER PLAN OR EQUIVALENT LAND
USE STUDY.
  S 31-c. Subdivision 4 of section 970-r of the general  municipal  law,
as  amended  by  chapter  390 of the laws of 2008, is amended to read as

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES SUCH AS SPECIFIC FUNDING REQUESTS FROM CERTAIN
STATE AGENCIES TO ENHANCE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLAN OR DEVELOPMENT OF MORE
FORMAL  LAND  USE PLANS SUCH AS A MASTER PLAN, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND/OR
URBAN RENEWAL PLAN, UPON RECEIPT OF ONE OR  MORE  OF  THESE  PLANS,  THE
SECRETARY, IN CONSULTATION WITH ANY OTHER INVOLVED AGENCIES AND/OR OTHER
AGENCY  FROM  WHICH  A  FUNDING REQUEST HAS BEEN MADE, SHALL REVIEW SUCH
PLAN OR PLANS, AND IF  REQUIRED,  THE  ASSOCIATED  ENVIRONMENTAL  IMPACT
REVIEW  ANALYSIS  PURSUANT TO THE STATE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY REVIEW ACT
UNDER ARTICLE EIGHT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION LAW. If the secre-
tary determines that the nomination [is not consistent] PLAN AND/OR  THE
FINAL BROWNFIELD OPPORTUNITY AREA PLAN DO NOT COMPLY with the provisions
of  this section, the secretary shall make recommendations in writing to
the applicant of the manner and nature in which the nomination  PLAN  OR
THE  FINAL  BROWNFIELD  OPPORTUNITY AREA PLAN should be amended TO BE IN
COMPLIANCE. THE APPLICANT SHALL HAVE THIRTY DAYS TO AMEND THE NOMINATION
TO BRING THE PLAN INTO COMPLIANCE. IF THE SECRETARY DETERMINES THAT  THE
AMENDED  NOMINATION  STILL  IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE, THE APPLICANT SHALL BE
INELIGIBLE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL STATE ASSISTANCE OFFERED UNDER THIS  ARTI-
CLE UNTIL SUCH NOMINATION IS DEEMED TO BE IN COMPLIANCE.
  (B)  THE  SECRETARY SHALL PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO APPLICANTS WHO REQUEST
ASSISTANCE ON THE CONTENTS OF LAND USE PLANS, BUT  MUNICIPAL  APPLICANTS
HAVE  FINAL  AUTHORITY  ON  THE CONTENTS OF LAND USE PLANS PROVIDED SUCH
PLANS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THIS SECTION PURSUANT TO SECTION  TWO  HUNDRED

PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SUBDIVISION APPLIES.  In addition to  cleanup  and
removal  costs  and  damages,  any  such  person who is notified of such
release and who did not undertake relocation of persons residing in  the
area  of  the  discharge in accordance with paragraph (c) of subdivision
seven of section one hundred  seventy-six  of  this  article,  shall  be
liable  to  the  fund  for  an  amount equal to two times the actual and

PERSONS ACT WITH DUE CARE AND IN GOOD FAITH TO ADHERE  TO  THE  REQUIRE-
MENTS OF THE LIABILITY LIMITATION AGREEMENT.
  (II)  A  LIABILITY LIMITATION AGREEMENT AND THE PROTECTIONS IT AFFORDS
SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY DISCHARGE THAT OCCURS SUBSEQUENT TO THE EXECUTION
OF THE LIABILITY LIMITATION AGREEMENT, NOR SHALL A LIABILITY  LIMITATION
AGREEMENT AND THE PROTECTIONS IT AFFORDS RELIEVE ANY PERSON OF THE OBLI-
GATIONS  TO  COMPLY  IN  THE FUTURE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS. THE STATE
NONETHELESS SHALL RESERVE ALL OF ITS RIGHTS CONCERNING, AND SUCH LIABIL-
ITY LIMITATION SHALL NOT EXTEND TO,  ANY  FURTHER  INVESTIGATION  AND/OR
REMEDIATION  THE  DEPARTMENT DEEMS NECESSARY DUE TO FRAUD, NONCOMPLIANCE
WITH THE TERMS THAT FORMED THE  LIABILITY  LIMITATION  AGREEMENT,  OR  A
WRITTEN  FINDING  BY  THE  DEPARTMENT  THAT A CHANGE IN AN ENVIRONMENTAL

CORPORATION SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE DISCHARGE OF PETROLEUM AT A SITE
IF SUCH PUBLIC CORPORATION ACQUIRED SUCH SITE  INVOLUNTARILY,  AND  SUCH
PUBLIC  CORPORATION  RETAINED  SUCH  SITE  WITHOUT  PARTICIPATING IN THE

CORPORATION  THAT  HAS  (A)  CAUSED  OR  CONTRIBUTED TO THE DISCHARGE OF
PETROLEUM FROM OR AT THE SITE,  (B)  PURCHASED,  SOLD,  REFINED,  TRANS-
PORTED,  OR DISCHARGED PETROLEUM FROM OR AT SUCH SITE, OR (C) CAUSED THE

discharger OR DISCHARGERS may agree to a settlement which shall be final
and binding upon the parties and which will waive all  recourse  against
the  fund.  TO THE EXTENT AN ALLEGED DISCHARGER PRESENTS EVIDENCE TO THE
ADMINISTRATOR THAT ANOTHER PARTY IS WHOLLY OR PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE  FOR
THE  CLAIM,  AND  REQUESTS  THE  ADMINISTRATOR  TO CONSIDER WHETHER SUCH
INFORMATION PRESENTED ESTABLISHES BY A  PREPONDERANCE  OF  THE  EVIDENCE
THAT  THE  THIRD  PARTY  IS IN FACT WHOLLY OR PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE, THE
ADMINISTRATOR WITHIN THIRTY DAYS OF RECEIPT OF SUCH REQUEST SHALL EITHER
DETERMINE: (1) IN WRITING, IF THE THIRD PARTY SHALL BE DEEMED  AN  ADDI-
TIONAL  DISCHARGER  TO  ANY  PENDING  OR  ANTICIPATED CLAIM OR (2) IF AN
ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING AS TO LIABILITY IS NECESSARY.

  S 2. Severability clause. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivi-
sion, section or part of this act shall be adjudged by a court of compe-
tent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect,  impair
or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its opera-
tion  to  the  clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section or part
thereof directly involved in the  controversy  in  which  such  judgment
shall  have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of the
legislature that this act would have been enacted even if  such  invalid
provisions had not been included herein.

PROVIDED FOR UNDER THIS SUBDIVISION ARE SUBSEQUENTLY REDUCED AS A RESULT
OF A FINAL ORDER IN ANY PROCEEDING UNDER ARTICLE SEVEN OF THE REAL PROP-
ERTY  TAX LAW OR OTHER PROVISION OF LAW, THE TAXPAYER SHALL ADD BACK, IN
THE TAXABLE YEAR IN WHICH SUCH FINAL ORDER IS ISSUED, THE EXCESS OF  (1)
THE  AMOUNT OF CREDIT ORIGINALLY ALLOWED FOR A TAXABLE YEAR OVER (2) THE
AMOUNT OF CREDIT DETERMINED BASED UPON THE REDUCED REAL PROPERTY  TAXES.
IF  SUCH FINAL ORDER REDUCES REAL PROPERTY TAXES FOR MORE THAN ONE YEAR,
THE TAXPAYER MUST DETERMINE HOW MUCH OF SUCH REDUCTION  IS  ATTRIBUTABLE
TO  EACH  YEAR  COVERED  BY SUCH FINAL ORDER AND CALCULATE THE AMOUNT OF
CREDIT WHICH IS REQUIRED BY THIS SUBDIVISION TO BE RECAPTURED  FOR  EACH
YEAR BASED ON SUCH REDUCTION.
  (D)  THE  CREDIT  ALLOWED  UNDER THIS SUBDIVISION FOR ANY TAXABLE YEAR
SHALL NOT REDUCE THE TAX DUE FOR SUCH  YEAR  TO  LESS  THAN  THE  AMOUNT
PRESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH (D) OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF THIS SECTION. HOWEVER,
ANY AMOUNT OF CREDIT NOT DEDUCTIBLE IN SUCH TAXABLE YEAR SHALL BE TREAT-
ED  AS  AN  OVERPAYMENT  OF TAX TO BE CREDITED OR REFUNDED IN ACCORDANCE

THE TAXABLE YEAR FOR MANUFACTURING TO THE EXTENT NOT DEDUCTED IN COMPUT-
ING FEDERAL ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME. THIS CREDIT WILL NOT  BE  ALLOWED  IF
THE  REAL PROPERTY TAXES THAT ARE THE BASIS FOR THIS CREDIT ARE INCLUDED
IN THE CALCULATION OF ANOTHER CREDIT CLAIMED BY THE TAXPAYER.
  (2)(A) THE TERM QUALIFIED NEW YORK MANUFACTURER HAS THE  SAME  MEANING
AS  UNDER  SUBPARAGRAPH  (VI)  OF  PARAGRAPH  (A)  OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF
SECTION TWO HUNDRED TEN OF THIS CHAPTER.
  (B) (I) THE TERM REAL PROPERTY TAX MEANS A CHARGE  IMPOSED  UPON  REAL
PROPERTY  BY  OR  ON  BEHALF  OF A COUNTY, CITY, TOWN, VILLAGE OR SCHOOL
DISTRICT FOR MUNICIPAL OR SCHOOL DISTRICT PURPOSES,  PROVIDED  THAT  THE
CHARGE  IS  LEVIED  FOR  THE GENERAL PUBLIC WELFARE BY THE PROPER TAXING
AUTHORITIES AT A LIKE RATE AGAINST ALL PROPERTY OVER WHICH SUCH AUTHORI-

S. 6359--C                         209

TIES HAVE JURISDICTION, AND PROVIDED THAT WHERE TAXES ARE LEVIED  PURSU-
ANT  TO  ARTICLE  EIGHTEEN OR NINETEEN OF THE REAL PROPERTY TAX LAW, THE
PROPERTY MUST HAVE BEEN TAXED AT THE RATE DETERMINED FOR  THE  CLASS  IN
WHICH IT IS CONTAINED, AS PROVIDED BY SUCH ARTICLE EIGHTEEN OR NINETEEN,
WHICHEVER  IS  APPLICABLE. THE TERM REAL PROPERTY TAX DOES NOT INCLUDE A
CHARGE FOR LOCAL BENEFITS, INCLUDING ANY PORTION OF THAT CHARGE THAT  IS
PROPERLY ALLOCATED TO THE COSTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO MAINTENANCE OR INTEREST,
WHEN  (I)  THE PROPERTY SUBJECT TO THE CHARGE IS LIMITED TO THE PROPERTY
THAT BENEFITS FROM THE CHARGE, OR (II)  THE  AMOUNT  OF  THE  CHARGE  IS
DETERMINED  BY  THE  BENEFIT  TO  THE  PROPERTY  ASSESSED,  OR (III) THE
IMPROVEMENT FOR WHICH THE CHARGE IS ASSESSED TENDS TO INCREASE THE PROP-
ERTY VALUE.
  (II) IN ADDITION, THE TERM REAL PROPERTY TAX INCLUDES  TAXES  PAID  BY
THE TAXPAYER UPON REAL PROPERTY PRINCIPALLY USED DURING THE TAXABLE YEAR

SATISFIED:  (I)  THE TAX MUST BE PAID BY THE TAXPAYER AS LESSEE PURSUANT
TO EXPLICIT REQUIREMENTS IN A WRITTEN LEASE, AND (II)  THE  TAXPAYER  AS
LESSEE  HAS  PAID  SUCH  TAXES  DIRECTLY TO THE TAXING AUTHORITY AND HAS
RECEIVED A WRITTEN RECEIPT FOR PAYMENT OF TAXES FROM THE TAXING AUTHORI-
TY. IN THE CASE OF A COMBINED GROUP THAT  CONSTITUTES  A  QUALIFIED  NEW
YORK  MANUFACTURER,  THE CONDITIONS IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE ARE SATIS-
FIED IF ONE CORPORATION IN THE COMBINED GROUP IS THE LESSEE AND  ANOTHER
CORPORATION  IN  THE  COMBINED  GROUP  MAKES  THE PAYMENTS TO THE TAXING
AUTHORITY.
  (III) THE TERM REAL PROPERTY TAX DOES NOT INCLUDE A  PAYMENT  MADE  BY
THE  TAXPAYER IN CONNECTION WITH AN AGREEMENT FOR THE PAYMENT IN LIEU OF
TAXES ON REAL PROPERTY AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION  SEVENTEEN  OF  SECTION
EIGHT  HUNDRED  FIFTY-FOUR  OF  THE  GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW, WHETHER SUCH
PROPERTY IS OWNED OR LEASED BY THE TAXPAYER, UNLESS THE PAYMENT IN  LIEU
OF  TAXES  WAS  MADE PURSUANT TO A PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAX AGREEMENT THAT
WAS ENTERED INTO IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SETTLEMENT OF A TAX  CERTIORARI
PROCEEDING  COMMENCED PURSUANT TO ARTICLE SEVEN OF THE REAL PROPERTY TAX
LAW.
  (IV) THE REAL PROPERTY TAXES MUST BE PAID BY THE TAXPAYER IN THE  YEAR
SUCH TAXES BECOME A LIEN ON THE REAL PROPERTY.
  (3)  CREDIT  RECAPTURE. WHERE A QUALIFIED NEW YORK MANUFACTURER'S REAL
PROPERTY TAXES WHICH WERE THE BASIS FOR  THE  ALLOWANCE  OF  THE  CREDIT
PROVIDED FOR UNDER THIS SUBDIVISION ARE SUBSEQUENTLY REDUCED AS A RESULT
OF A FINAL ORDER IN ANY PROCEEDING UNDER ARTICLE SEVEN OF THE REAL PROP-
ERTY  TAX LAW OR OTHER PROVISION OF LAW, THE TAXPAYER SHALL ADD BACK, IN
THE TAXABLE YEAR IN WHICH SUCH FINAL ORDER IS ISSUED, THE EXCESS OF  (I)
THE AMOUNT OF CREDIT ORIGINALLY ALLOWED FOR A TAXABLE YEAR OVER (II) THE
AMOUNT  OF CREDIT DETERMINED BASED UPON THE REDUCED REAL PROPERTY TAXES.
IF SUCH FINAL ORDER REDUCES REAL PROPERTY TAXES FOR MORE THAN ONE  YEAR,
THE  TAXPAYER  MUST DETERMINE HOW MUCH OF SUCH REDUCTION IS ATTRIBUTABLE
TO EACH YEAR COVERED BY SUCH FINAL ORDER AND  CALCULATE  THE  AMOUNT  OF
CREDIT  WHICH  IS REQUIRED BY THIS SUBDIVISION TO BE RECAPTURED FOR EACH
YEAR BASED ON SUCH REDUCTION.
  (4) IF THE AMOUNT OF THE CREDIT ALLOWED UNDER THIS SUBSECTION FOR  ANY
TAXABLE  YEAR  EXCEEDS THE TAXPAYER'S TAX FOR SUCH YEAR, THE EXCESS WILL
BE TREATED AS AN OVERPAYMENT TO BE CREDITED OR  REFUNDED  IN  ACCORDANCE
WITH  THE  PROVISIONS OF SECTION SIX HUNDRED EIGHTY-SIX OF THIS ARTICLE,
PROVIDED HOWEVER, NO INTEREST WILL BE PAID THEREON.

  S  954.  Resident's New York gross estate. (a) General.-- The New York
gross estate of a deceased resident  means  his  OR  HER  federal  gross
estate as defined in the internal revenue code (whether or not a federal
estate tax return is required to be filed) modified as follows:
  (1)  Reduced by the value of real or tangible personal property having
an actual situs outside New York state.
  (2) Increased by the amount  determined  under  section  nine  hundred
fifty-seven  OF  THIS  PART  (relating  to limited powers of appointment

the  TIME  OF  THE DECEDENT'S DEATH, EXCEPT THAT IF A FEDERAL ESTATE TAX
RETURN IS FILED AND THE ALTERNATE VALUATION UNDER SECTION  2032  OF  THE

NEW YORK GROSS ESTATE SHALL BE VALUED AS OF THE applicable federal valu-
ation date or dates. Any real property qualified under section two thou-
sand thirty-two-A of the internal revenue code shall have the same value
for purposes of the New York gross estate as it has for  federal  estate
tax purposes.
  (2)  IF  SUCH  ALTERNATE VALUATION COULD HAVE BEEN ELECTED PURSUANT TO

SUFFICIENT TO REQUIRE THE FILING OF A FEDERAL RETURN, THE NEW YORK GROSS
ESTATE  MAY,  UPON  THE  ELECTION  OF  THE EXECUTOR, BE VALUED AS OF THE
FEDERAL VALUATION DATE OR DATES WHICH WOULD HAVE APPLIED  IF  A  FEDERAL
RETURN HAD BEEN FILED. HOWEVER, NO ELECTION MAY BE MADE UNDER THIS PARA-
GRAPH UNLESS SUCH ELECTION WILL DECREASE THE VALUE OF THE NEW YORK GROSS
ESTATE AND THE AMOUNT OF TAX IMPOSED BY THIS ARTICLE (REDUCED BY CREDITS
ALLOWABLE  AGAINST  SUCH  TAX).  ANY  ELECTION MADE UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH
SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE. THE ELECTION ALLOWED BY THIS  PARAGRAPH  SHALL  BE

UNDER THIS ARTICLE (INCLUDING EXTENSIONS) OR ANY TIME THEREAFTER AS  THE
COMMISSIONER MAY PRESCRIBE.

FOR  PURPOSES  OF  SUBSECTION  (B)(1),  BE CONSIDERED AS RETAINED IN THE
DONOR OR TRANSFERRED TO ANY PERSON OTHER THAN THE DONEE SPOUSE.

of the laws of 2013, is amended to read as follows:
  (a) Any  racing  association  or  corporation  or  regional  off-track
betting  corporation,  authorized  to conduct pari-mutuel wagering under
this chapter, desiring to display the simulcast of horse races on  which
pari-mutuel  betting shall be permitted in the manner and subject to the
conditions provided for in this article may apply to the commission  for
a  license so to do.  Applications for licenses shall be in such form as
may be prescribed by the commission and shall contain  such  information
or  other material or evidence as the commission may require. No license
shall be issued by the commission authorizing the simulcast transmission
of thoroughbred races from a track located in Suffolk  county.  The  fee
for  such  licenses shall be five hundred dollars per simulcast facility
and for account wagering licensees that do not operate either  a  simul-
cast facility that is open to the public within the state of New York or
a  licensed racetrack within the state, twenty thousand dollars per year
payable by the licensee to the commission for deposit into  the  general
fund.  Except  as  provided  in  this  section, the commission shall not
approve any application to conduct simulcasting into individual or group
residences, homes or other areas for the purposes of  or  in  connection
with pari-mutuel wagering. The [board] COMMISSION may approve simulcast-
ing into residences, homes or other areas to be conducted jointly by one
or  more  regional off-track betting corporations and one or more of the

S. 6359--C                         286

following: a franchised corporation, thoroughbred racing corporation  or
a harness racing corporation or association; provided (i) the simulcast-
ing consists only of those races on which pari-mutuel betting is author-
ized by this chapter at one or more simulcast facilities for each of the
contracting  off-track  betting  corporations which shall include wagers
made in accordance with  section  one  thousand  fifteen,  one  thousand
sixteen  and  one  thousand  seventeen of this article; provided further
that the contract provisions or other simulcast  arrangements  for  such
simulcast  facility  shall  be no less favorable than those in effect on
January first, two thousand  five;  (ii)  that  each  off-track  betting
corporation  having  within  its  geographic boundaries such residences,
homes or other areas technically  capable  of  receiving  the  simulcast
signal  shall be a contracting party; (iii) the distribution of revenues
shall be subject to contractual agreement of  the  parties  except  that
statutory  payments  to  non-contracting  parties,  if  any,  may not be
reduced; provided, however, that nothing herein to  the  contrary  shall
prevent a track from televising its races on an irregular basis primari-
ly for promotional or marketing purposes as found by the [board] COMMIS-
SION.    For  purposes  of this paragraph, the provisions of section one
thousand thirteen of this article shall not apply. Any agreement author-
izing  an  in-home  simulcasting  experiment  commencing  prior  to  May
fifteenth,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-five,  may,  and all its terms, be
extended  until  June  thirtieth,  two  thousand   [fourteen]   FIFTEEN;
provided,  however, that any party to such agreement may elect to termi-
nate such agreement upon conveying written notice to all  other  parties
of  such  agreement at least forty-five days prior to the effective date
of the termination, via registered  mail.  Any  party  to  an  agreement
receiving such notice of an intent to terminate, may request the [board]
COMMISSION  to mediate between the parties new terms and conditions in a
replacement agreement between the parties as will permit continuation of
an in-home experiment until  June  thirtieth,  two  thousand  [fourteen]
FIFTEEN;  and  (iv)  no in-home simulcasting in the thoroughbred special
betting district shall  occur  without  the  approval  of  the  regional
thoroughbred track.
  S  2.  Subparagraph  (iii)  of paragraph d of subdivision 3 of section

for  purses  to  be  awarded  at races conducted by such receiving track
shall be computed as follows: of the sums so retained, two and  one-half
percent  of the total pools. Such amount shall be increased or decreased
in the amount of fifty percent of the difference  in  total  commissions
determined by comparing the total commissions available after July twen-
ty-first,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-five  to the total commissions that
would have been available to such  track  prior  to  July  twenty-first,

total  deposits in pools resulting from on-track exotic bets and fifteen
to thirty-six per centum of the total deposits in pools  resulting  from

  Section 1. Clause (G) of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph 1 of  subdivi-
sion  b  of  section 1612 of the tax law, as added by chapter 174 of the
laws of 2013, is amended to read as follows:
  (G) Notwithstanding any provision to the  contrary,  EXCEPT  SUBCLAUSE
ONE  OF  CLAUSE  (J)  OF  THIS  SUBPARAGRAPH,  BUT  ONLY WHERE SUCH ITEM
APPLIES, when a vendor track is located within regions one, two, or five
of development zone two as defined by section thirteen  hundred  ten  of
the  racing,  pari-mutuel  wagering  and breeding law, such vendor track
shall receive an additional commission at a rate equal to the percentage
of revenue wagered at the vendor track after payout for prizes  pursuant
to  this  chapter less ten percent retained by the commission for opera-
tion, administration,  and  procurement  purposes  and  payment  of  the
vendor's  fee,  marketing  allowance, and capital award paid pursuant to

S. 6359--C                         290

this chapter and the effective tax rate paid on all gross gaming revenue
paid by a gaming facility within the same  region  pursuant  to  section
thirteen  hundred  fifty-one  of  the  racing,  pari-mutuel wagering and
breeding  law.  The  additional  commission  shall be paid to the vendor
track within sixty days after the conclusion of the  state  fiscal  year
based on the calculated percentage during the previous fiscal year.
  S  2.  Clause (H) of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph 1 of subdivision b
of section 1612 of the tax law, as separately amended  by  chapters  174
and 175 of the laws of 2013, is amended to read as follows:
  (H)  notwithstanding  clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) [and], (G),
AND (J) of this subparagraph, the track operator of a vendor track shall
be eligible for a vendor's capital award of up to four  percent  of  the
total revenue wagered at the vendor track after payout for prizes pursu-
ant to this chapter, which shall be used exclusively for capital project
investments  to improve the facilities of the vendor track which promote
or encourage increased attendance at the video lottery  gaming  facility
including,  but  not limited to hotels, other lodging facilities, enter-
tainment  facilities,  retail  facilities,  dining  facilities,   events
arenas,  parking  garages  and  other improvements that enhance facility
amenities; provided that such capital investments shall be  approved  by
the  division, in consultation with the state racing and wagering board,
and that such vendor track demonstrates that such  capital  expenditures
will  increase  patronage at such vendor track's facilities and increase
the amount of revenue generated to support state education programs. The
annual amount of such vendor's capital awards that a vendor track  shall
be  eligible  to  receive  shall  be limited to two million five hundred
thousand dollars, except for Aqueduct racetrack, for which  there  shall
be  no  vendor's  capital awards. Except for tracks having less than one
thousand one hundred video gaming machines,  and  except  for  a  vendor
track  located west of State Route 14 from Sodus Point to the Pennsylva-
nia border within New York, each track operator  shall  be  required  to
co-invest  an  amount  of  capital  expenditure  equal to its cumulative
vendor's capital award. For all tracks, except for  Aqueduct  racetrack,
the amount of any vendor's capital award that is not used during any one
year  period  may  be  carried  over into subsequent years ending before
April first, two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN.   Any amount  attributable
to  a  capital  expenditure  approved prior to April first, two thousand
[fourteen] FIFTEEN  and  completed  before  April  first,  two  thousand
[sixteen]  SEVENTEEN;  or  approved  prior  to April first, two thousand
[eighteen] NINETEEN and  completed  before  April  first,  two  thousand
[twenty]  TWENTY-ONE  for  a vendor track located west of State Route 14
from Sodus Point to the Pennsylvania border within New  York,  shall  be
eligible  to  receive  the  vendor's  capital award. In the event that a
vendor track's capital expenditures, approved by the division  prior  to
April  first,  two  thousand  [fourteen]  FIFTEEN and completed prior to
April first, two thousand [sixteen] SEVENTEEN, exceed the vendor track's
cumulative capital award during the five year period ending April first,
two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN, the vendor shall  continue  to  receive
the  capital  award  after  April first, two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN
until such approved capital expenditures are paid to  the  vendor  track
subject  to  any  required  co-investment.  In no event shall any vendor
track that receives a vendor fee pursuant to clause (F)  [or],  (G),  OR
(J)  of this subparagraph be eligible for a vendor's capital award under
this section. Any operator of  a  vendor  track  which  has  received  a
vendor's  capital  award,  choosing  to  divest  the capital improvement
toward which the award was applied, prior to the  full  depreciation  of

S. 6359--C                         291

the capital improvement in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles,  shall  reimburse the state in amounts equal to the total of
any such awards. Any capital award not approved for a  capital  expendi-
ture  at  a  video  lottery gaming facility by April first, two thousand
[fourteen] FIFTEEN shall be deposited into the state  lottery  fund  for
education aid; and
  S  3.  Subparagraph  (iii)  of paragraph 1 of subdivision b of section
1612 of the tax law, as separately amended by chapters 174  and  175  of

  (iii) less an additional vendor's marketing allowance at a rate of ten
percent  for  the  first  one hundred million dollars annually and eight
percent thereafter of the total revenue  wagered  at  the  vendor  track
after payout for prizes to be used by the vendor track for the marketing
and  promotion  and  associated  costs of its video lottery gaming oper-
ations and pari-mutuel horse racing operations,  as  long  as  any  such
costs associated with pari-mutuel horse racing operations simultaneously
encourage  increased  attendance  at  such vendor's video lottery gaming
facilities, consistent with the customary manner of marketing comparable
operations in the industry and subject to the overall supervision of the
division; provided, however,  that  the  additional  vendor's  marketing
allowance shall not exceed eight percent in any year for any operator of
a  racetrack  located  in the county of Westchester or Queens; provided,
however, a vendor track that receives a vendor fee  pursuant  to  clause
(G)  OR (J) of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph shall not receive the
additional vendor's marketing allowance; provided, however, except for a
vendor track located west of State Route 14  from  Sodus  Point  to  the
Pennsylvania  border within New York shall continue to receive a market-
ing allowance of ten percent on total  revenue  wagered  at  the  vendor
track  after  payout for prizes in excess of one hundred million dollars
annually provided, however, a vendor that receives a vendor fee pursuant
to clause (G-1) of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph shall receive  an
additional  marketing  allowance  at  a rate of ten percent of the total
revenue wagered at the video lottery gaming facility  after  payout  for
prizes. In establishing the vendor fee,
  S 4. Subparagraph (ii) of paragraph 1 of subdivision b of section 1612

and as often as he deems advisable provide for the issuance  and  exclu-
sive  use  of stamps of a new design and forbid the use of stamps of any

hundred seventy-four of this chapter]. THE COMMISSIONER MAY MAKE,  ENTER
INTO  AND  EXECUTE  FOR  AND  IN  BEHALF  OF  THE STATE SUCH CONTRACT OR
CONTRACTS FOR DIES, PLATES AND PRINTING NECESSARY FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF
THE STAMPS PROVIDED FOR BY THIS ARTICLE, AND HIRE STAFF AND PROVIDE SUCH
STATIONARY TOGETHER WITH  SUCH  BOOKS  AND  BLANKS  AS  IN  HIS  OR  HER
DISCRETION MAY BE NECESSARY FOR PUTTING INTO OPERATION THE PROVISIONS OF
THIS  ARTICLE;  THE  COMMISSIONER  SHALL BE THE CUSTODIAN OF ALL STAMPS,
DIES, PLATES OR OTHER MATERIAL OR THING FURNISHED AND USED IN THE  MANU-

for the sale of such stamps at such places and at such times as  he  may
deem necessary and may license agents for such purpose. The commissioner
may  license  dealers  in  cigarettes, who maintain separate warehousing

to  appoint  the  person in his employ who is to affix the stamps to any
cigarettes under the agent's control. The fee for filing  such  applica-
tion  for an agent's license shall be one thousand five hundred dollars,

refusal  to  license and for hearings, except for paragraphs (c) and (g)
of subdivision one of such  section,  shall  be  applicable  to  agents'
licenses  applied  for  or  granted pursuant to this section, as if such
provisions had been set forth  in  full  in  this  subdivision  and  had
expressly  referred  to  the applicant for, or the holder of, an agent's
license. Whenever the commissioner shall sell and deliver  to  any  such
agent  any  such  stamps,  such  agent  shall  be entitled to receive as
compensation for his services and expenses as such agent in  selling  or
affixing  such stamps, and to retain out of the moneys to be paid by him
for such stamps, a commission on the par value thereof. The commissioner
is hereby authorized to prescribe a schedule of commissions, not exceed-
ing five per centum, allowable to such agent  for  buying  and  affixing
such  stamps. Such schedule shall be uniform with respect to the differ-
ent types of stamps used, and may be on a graduated scale  with  respect
to  the  number  of  stamps  purchased.  The  commissioner  may,  in his
discretion, permit an agent to pay for such stamps  within  thirty  days
after  the  date of purchase and may require any such agent to file with
the department of taxation and finance a bond issued by a surety company

responsibility and authorized to transact business in the state or other
security  acceptable  to the commissioner, in such amount as the commis-
sioner  may  fix,  to secure the payment of any sums due from such agent
pursuant to this article. If securities are deposited as security  under
this  subdivision,  such  securities shall be kept in the custody of the
commissioner and may be sold by the commissioner if it becomes necessary
so to do in order to recover any sums due from such  agent  pursuant  to
this article, but no such sale shall be had until after such agent shall
have had opportunity to litigate the validity of any tax if it elects so
to do. Upon any such sale, the surplus, if any, above the sums due under
this article shall be returned to such agent.

  Section  1.  Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds that the
educational and entertainment game industry makes up a large and rapidly
growing share of the national  and  world  economy,  outselling  movies,
music,  and  DVDs;  that its diversity includes entertainment and educa-
tional  games, triple-A games and apps, large and small companies, indi-
vidual entrepreneurs, and a strong higher education academic  component;
that it pays high annual average salaries to its employees; and that its
audience  is adult and large, with 58 percent of Americans playing video
games, 45 percent of whom are female players, and that the  average  age
of  a  game  player is 30 years old and the average age of most frequent
game purchasers is 35 years old.
  The legislature further finds that New  York's  game  development  and
publishing  companies are among the foremost in the country and that its
academic game design institutions are cited as among the country's best,
yet it lags other states in industry jobs, opportunities, and economics,
ranking 4th among states as of 2009 with a contribution of 268.8 million
dollars to the economy, and 5,474 direct and indirect jobs, behind Cali-
fornia, where the industry contributes 2.2 billion dollars to the econo-
my, Washington with a contribution of 480  million  dollars,  and  Texas
with a contribution of 492 million dollars; that many students leave New
York  to  seek opportunities for creative work in other states; and that
companies are moving employees to areas that make more economic sense to
their bottom lines, despite a stated desire to stay in New York.
  The legislature further finds and declares, based in  discussions  and
interviews  with  game  development  and  publishing  industry  leaders,
academics, entrepreneurs, and  students,  that  provisions  of  existing
economic development programs and incentives can be targeted to increase
employment  and  economic activity in this industry in New York and that
new incentives and programs can also help the industry to achieve  crit-
ical mass which in turn will lead to more rapid growth.
  The  legislature  therefore  declares  that the provisions of this act
will help New York state reach its potential as a home to game  develop-
ment  and publishing companies and entrepreneurs, increasing employment,
growth and opportunity for all citizens of this state, and  raising  New
York's profile as a game development capital, and that enactment of this
act  is  therefore in every sense in the interests of the people of this
state.
  S 2. Section 433 of the economic development law is amended by  adding
a new subdivision 5 to read as follows:

S. 6359--C                         412

ELIGIBLE LOW-INCOME BUILDING,  which  would  be  determined  under  such
section if the 40-90 test specified in paragraph (b) of subdivision five
of  this  section  applied  under  such  section 42 to determine if such
building were part of a qualified low-income housing project.
  7.  References  in  this article to section 42 of the internal revenue
code shall mean such section as amended from time to time.
  S 22. Allowance of credit,  amount  and  limitations.  1.  A  taxpayer
subject  to  tax under article nine-A, twenty-two, thirty-two or thirty-
three of the tax law which owns an interest  in  one  or  more  eligible
low-income  buildings  OR  ELIGIBLE  MIDDLE-INCOME  BUILDINGS  shall  be
allowed a credit against such tax for the amount of  low-income  housing
credit  OR  FOR  THE  AMOUNT OF THE MIDDLE-INCOME HOUSING CREDIT, AS THE
CASE MAY BE, allocated by the commissioner to each such building. Except
as provided in subdivision two of this section,  the  credit  amount  so
allocated shall be allowed as a credit against the tax for the ten taxa-
ble years in the credit period.
  2. Adjustment of first-year credit allowed in eleventh year. The cred-
it  allowable  for  the  first  taxable  year  of the credit period with
respect to any building shall be adjusted using  the  rules  of  section
42(f)(2) of the internal revenue code (relating to first-year adjustment
of  qualified basis by the weighted average of low-income to total resi-
dential units, OR BY THE WEIGHTED  AVERAGE  OF  MIDDLE-INCOME  TO  TOTAL
RESIDENTIAL  UNITS, AS THE CASE MAY BE), and any reduction in first-year
credit by reason of such adjustment shall be  allowable  for  the  first
taxable year following the credit period.
  3.  Amount of credit. Except as provided in subdivisions four and five
of this section, the amount of low-income housing credit AND  MIDDLE-IN-
COME  HOUSING CREDIT shall be the applicable percentage of the qualified
basis  of  each  eligible  low-income  building  OR  OF  EACH   ELIGIBLE
MIDDLE-INCOME BUILDING.
  4.  Statewide  limitation. The aggregate dollar amount of credit which
the commissioner may allocate to  eligible  low-income  buildings  under
this  article shall be forty-eight million dollars. THE AGGREGATE DOLLAR
AMOUNT OF  CREDIT  WHICH  THE  COMMISSIONER  MAY  ALLOCATE  TO  ELIGIBLE
MIDDLE-INCOME  BUILDINGS  UNDER  THIS  ARTICLE  SHALL BE FIFTEEN MILLION
DOLLARS. The limitation provided by this  subdivision  applies  only  to
allocation of the aggregate dollar amount of credit by the commissioner,
and does not apply to allowance to a taxpayer of the credit with respect
to an eligible low-income building OR AN ELIGIBLE MIDDLE-INCOME BUILDING
for each year of the credit period.
  5.  Building  limitation. The dollar amount of credit allocated to any
building shall not exceed the  amount  the  commissioner  determines  is
necessary for the financial feasibility of the project and the viability
of  the  building  as  an eligible low-income building OR AS AN ELIGIBLE
MIDDLE-INCOME BUILDING throughout the credit  period.  In  allocating  a
dollar  amount of credit to any building, the commissioner shall specify
the applicable percentage and the maximum qualified basis which  may  be
taken into account under this article with respect to such building. The
applicable  percentage and the maximum qualified basis with respect to a
building shall not exceed the amounts determined in subdivisions one and
six, respectively, of section twenty-one of this article.
  6.  Long-term  commitment  to  low-income  OR  MIDDLE-INCOME   housing
required. (A) No credit shall be allowed under this article with respect
to  [a]  AN  ELIGIBLE LOW-INCOME building for the taxable year unless an
extended low-income housing commitment is in effect as  of  the  end  of
such  taxable  year.  For  purposes of this [subdivision] PARAGRAPH, the

S. 6359--C                         413

term "extended low-income housing commitment" means an agreement between
the taxpayer and the commissioner substantially similar to the agreement
specified in section 42(h)(6)(B) of the internal revenue code.
  (B)  NO  CREDIT SHALL BE ALLOWED UNDER THIS ARTICLE WITH RESPECT TO AN
ELIGIBLE MIDDLE-INCOME BUILDING FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR UNLESS AN  EXTENDED
MIDDLE-INCOME  HOUSING  COMMITMENT  IS  IN  EFFECT AS OF THE END OF SUCH
TAXABLE YEAR. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS  PARAGRAPH,  THE  TERM  "EXTENDED
MIDDLE-INCOME HOUSING COMMITMENT" MEANS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TAXPAY-
ER AND THE COMMISSIONER WHICH HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY THE COMMISSIONER TO
BE  SIMILAR  TO  THE  AGREEMENT  SPECIFIED IN SECTION 42(H)(6)(B) OF THE
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.
  7. Credit to successor owner. If a credit is allowed under subdivision
one of this section with respect to an eligible low-income  building  OR
AN  ELIGIBLE  MIDDLE-INCOME  BUILDING, and such building (or an interest
therein) is sold during the credit period, the  credit  for  the  period
after  the  sale  which would have been allowable under such subdivision
one to the prior owner had the building not been sold shall be allowable
to the new owner. Credit for the year of sale shall be allocated between
the parties on the basis of the number of days during such year that the
building or interest was held by each.
  S 23. Project monitoring. The commissioner shall establish such proce-
dures as he OR SHE deems  necessary  for  monitoring  compliance  of  an
eligible  low-income building OR AN ELIGIBLE MIDDLE-INCOME BUILDING with
the provisions of this article, and for notifying  the  commissioner  of
taxation  and  finance  of  any  such  noncompliance  of which he OR SHE
becomes aware.
  S 24. Credit recapture. If, as of the close of any taxable year in the
compliance period, the amount of the qualified  basis  of  any  building
with respect to the taxpayer is less than the amount of such basis as of
the  close  of the preceding taxable year, the credit under this article
may be recaptured as provided in section eighteen OR EIGHTEEN-A  of  the
tax law.
  S 25. Regulations, coordination with federal low-income housing credit
provisions.  1.  The commissioner shall promulgate rules and regulations
necessary to administer the provisions of this act.
  2. The provisions of section 42 of the  internal  revenue  code  shall
apply  to the credit under this article, provided however, to the extent
such provisions are inconsistent with this article,  the  provisions  of
this article shall control.
  S  2.  The  tax law is amended by adding a new section 18-a to read as
follows:
  S 18-A. MIDDLE-INCOME HOUSING  CREDIT.  (A)  ALLOWANCE  OF  CREDIT.  A
TAXPAYER  SUBJECT TO TAX UNDER ARTICLE NINE-A, TWENTY-TWO, THIRTY-TWO OR

INGS FOR WHICH AN ELIGIBILITY STATEMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED BY  THE  COMMIS-
SIONER  OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY RENEWAL. THE AMOUNT OF THE CREDIT SHALL

SIONER AS PROVIDED IN ARTICLE TWO-A OF THE PUBLIC HOUSING LAW. THE CRED-
IT  AMOUNT  SHALL  BE  ALLOWED  FOR EACH OF THE TEN TAXABLE YEARS IN THE

  (3) ACCELERATED PORTION OF CREDIT. FOR PURPOSES OF  PARAGRAPH  TWO  OF
THIS  SUBDIVISION,  THE  ACCELERATED PORTION OF THE CREDIT FOR THE PRIOR
TAXABLE YEARS WITH RESPECT TO ANY AMOUNT OF BASIS IS THE EXCESS OF
  (A) THE AGGREGATE CREDIT ALLOWED BY REASON OF  THIS  SECTION  (WITHOUT
REGARD  TO  THIS SUBDIVISION) FOR SUCH YEARS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH BASIS,
OVER
  (B) THE AGGREGATE CREDIT WHICH WOULD BE ALLOWABLE BY  REASON  OF  THIS
SECTION FOR SUCH YEARS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH BASIS IF THE AGGREGATE CRED-
IT  WHICH  WOULD  (BUT  FOR  THIS SUBDIVISION) HAVE BEEN ALLOWED FOR THE
ENTIRE COMPLIANCE PERIOD WERE ALLOWABLE RATABLY OVER FIFTEEN YEARS.
  (4) SPECIAL RULES. FOR PURPOSES OF  THIS  SUBDIVISION,  THE  RULES  OF
SECTION 42 (J)(4)(B) AND (C) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SHALL APPLY IN
DETERMINING THE CREDIT RECAPTURE AMOUNT.

SUCH  LOSS IS RESTORED BY RECONSTRUCTION OR REPLACEMENT WITHIN A REASON-
ABLE PERIOD, OR
  (B) BY REASON OF A CHANGE IN  FLOOR  SPACE  DEVOTED  TO  MIDDLE-INCOME
UNITS  IN A BUILDING, IF SUCH BUILDING REMAINS AN ELIGIBLE MIDDLE-INCOME
BUILDING AFTER SUCH CHANGE, AND IF  THE  COMMISSIONER,  IN  CONSULTATION
WITH  THE COMMISSIONER OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY RENEWAL, DETERMINES THAT
SUCH CHANGE IS DE MINIMIS, OR
  (C) BY REASON OF ERROR IN  COMPLYING  WITH  MIDDLE-INCOME  ELIGIBILITY
TESTS  REFERRED  TO  IN  SUBDIVISION  FIVE  OF SECTION TWENTY-ONE OF THE
PUBLIC HOUSING LAW,  IF  THE  COMMISSIONER,  IN  CONSULTATION  WITH  THE
COMMISSIONER  OF  HOUSING  AND  COMMUNITY  RENEWAL, DETERMINES THAT SUCH
ERROR IS DE MINIMIS.
  (6) RECAPTURE BY PARTNERS OF A PARTNERSHIP. IN THE CASE  OF  OWNERSHIP
OF A BUILDING OR INTEREST THEREIN BY A PARTNERSHIP WHICH HAS THIRTY-FIVE
OR  MORE  PARTNERS,  THE  PROVISIONS OF SECTION 42(J)(5) OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE SHALL APPLY TO ANY RECAPTURE UNDER THIS SUBDIVISION  UNLESS

S. 6359--C                         415

  (7)  (A) THE CREDIT RECAPTURE REQUIRED UNDER THIS SUBDIVISION WILL NOT
APPLY SOLELY BY REASON OF THE DISPOSITION OF A BUILDING OR  AN  INTEREST
THEREIN IF IT IS REASONABLY EXPECTED THAT SUCH BUILDING WILL CONTINUE TO
BE  OPERATED  AS  AN  ELIGIBLE  MIDDLE-INCOME BUILDING FOR THE REMAINING
COMPLIANCE PERIOD WITH RESPECT TO SUCH BUILDING.

DISPOSED OF DURING ANY TAXABLE YEAR AND THERE IS ANY  REDUCTION  IN  THE
QUALIFIED  BASIS  OF  SUCH  BUILDING WHICH RESULTS IN AN INCREASE IN TAX
UNDER THIS SECTION FOR SUCH TAXABLE OR ANY SUBSEQUENT TAXABLE YEAR, THEN
  (I) THE STATUTORY PERIOD FOR THE ASSESSMENT  OF  ANY  DEFICIENCY  WITH
RESPECT TO SUCH INCREASE IN TAX WILL NOT EXPIRE BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF
THREE  YEARS  FROM  THE  DATE  THE COMMISSIONER OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
RENEWAL IS NOTIFIED BY THE TAXPAYER (IN SUCH MANNER AS THE  COMMISSIONER
OF  HOUSING  AND  COMMUNITY  RENEWAL MAY PRESCRIBE) OF SUCH REDUCTION IN
QUALIFIED BASIS, AND
  (II) SUCH DEFICIENCY MAY BE ASSESSED BEFORE  THE  EXPIRATION  OF  SUCH
THREE-YEAR  PERIOD  NOTWITHSTANDING  THE  PROVISIONS OF ANY OTHER LAW OR
RULE OF LAW WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE PREVENT SUCH ASSESSMENT.
