and to amend the tax law, the education law, the general municipal law, and the real property tax law, in relation to a real property tax freeze (Part FF) PURPOSE: This bill contains provisions needed to implement the Revenue portion of the 2014-15 Executive Budget. This memorandum describes Parts A through FF of the 2014-15 Article VII Revenue bill which are described wholly within the parts listed below. Part A - Corporate tax reform Purpose: This bill would establish a single modern system of taxation for general business corporations and banking corporations by repealing the separate provisions of the Tax Law for banking corporations (Tax Law Article 32) and amending the business corporation tax under Article 9-A to accommodate changes in the financial services industry and make other modernization changes. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: The State's current corporate franchise tax structure, which dates back to the 1940's, is outdated, unduly complex and vulnerable to aggressive tax avoidance techniques. It violates basic tax policy principles by taxing similarly-situated taxpayers differently, and in some instances it creates disincentives to increasing a corporation's activities in New York. One significant example of the shortcoming of the current tax structure is that it has not been revised to account for dramatic changes in the financial services sector. New York continues to tax banks and other financial corporations under different articles of the Tax Law. Thus, a bank and a non-bank financial institution would be taxed differently, even though they are conducting the same activities. Further, many large financial services firms provide bank and non-bank financial services within the same company. This can result in confusion and complexity due to different rules of taxation under Article 9-A and Article 32. Approximately 25 percent of the combined Article 9-A and Article 32 revenue is collected on audit. New York's current sourcing rules fail to acknowledge the shift to a service-based economy. Companies that generate significant receipts from services can incur greater tax liability if they increase their activity in New York. This reform proposal would source a business's receipts to the location of its customers. This assigns income to various states based on where the customers are located and eliminates factors that would increase tax if a company increased its activity in New York. This removes a previous disincentive to locating in New York. Complexities within the tax system also complicate tax compliance. This creates disruptions and uncertainty for businesses while increasing administration costs for New York State and results in extremely volatile tax collections that are difficult to forecast and can have dramatic effects on the State's financial plan. This reform proposal addresses the above issues by modernizing the tax code to make it more reflective of the current business environment, and creates clarity and certainty for the most commonly disputed areas. This certainty, combined with the elimination of impediments to businesses wishing to expand their New York activity, will make New York's corporate tax system more competitive with other states. Highlights of the reforms and structural changes made by the bill include (1) the repeal of both Article 32 and the organization and license taxes and maintenance fees in Tax Law sections 180 and 181 and (2) the replacement of the entire net income base with a similar business income base subject to a fully effective tax rate of 6.5 percent (effective January 1, 2016) as compared to the existing 7.1 percent rate. Both the New York State Tax Relief Commission and the New York State Tax Reform and Fairness Commission highlighted the need for New York corporate tax reform and specifically identified the different rules under which banks and other corporations are taxed. This is a new bill. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget because it would reduce revenues by $205 million in SFY 2015-16 and $346 million annually thereafter. Effective Date: This bill takes effect January 1, 2015 and applies to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2015. Part B - Allow direct payment of STAR tax savings in certain cases. Purpose: This bill would allow the Department of Taxation and Finance to pay the STAR tax savings directly to eligible property owners who register for STAR after receiving their 2014-15 school tax bills. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: The STAR Registration Program was enacted as part of the 2013-14 State Budget to eliminate inappropriate "Basic STAR" exemptions while enabling qualified owners to receive their rightful tax relief. The law permits late registrations under certain conditions, so it is possible that a limited number of property owners may seek to register after receiving their 2014-15 school tax bills. While there is a mechanism in current law to restore a STAR exemption after a school tax bill has been issued, it is a process that forces the property owner to wait for a refund while local government and school district personnel process the necessary paperwork. This proposal would allow the Tax Department to directly reimburse these property owners without delay, while sparing local officials the need to bear administrative burdens in support of this State program. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-15 Executive Budget and to allow late registrants to be reimbursed promptly for the value of their lost STAR exemptions. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately. Part C - Extend fees for the establishment of oil and gas unit of production values Purpose: This bill would extend fees for the establishment of oil and gas unit of production values by the Department of Taxation and Finance (the Department). Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: The Department establishes "unit of production values" which local assessors must use when assessing oil and gas wells and related facilities, pursuant to Article 5, Title 5 of the Real Property Tax Law. This program, which has been in place since 1981, relieves local assessors of the burden of attaining the necessary expertise to value these properties, while assuring producers that their assessments will be determined on a uniform, rational basis throughout the State. In recognition of the benefit this program provides for the industry, producers have been obliged since 1992 to pay fees to the State to offset the administrative costs involved in developing these values. The statute imposing those fees - § 593 of Real Property Tax Law - has always been subject to a sunset clause, and has been repeatedly renewed since enactment. This bill would extend the program until 2018. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-15 Executive Budget and allow the Department to offset related costs. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately. Part D - Increase racing regulatory fee from 0.5 percent to 0.6 percent Purpose: This bill would increase the racing regulatory fee on thoroughbred, harness, off-track pari-mutuel betting and simulcast racing from 0.5 percent to 0.6 percent. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: Regulation of the horse racing industry is intended to be self-financing-paid for entirely by the industry. However, the cost of regulating the industry has consistently exceeded the revenues collected by the industry. This bill ensures that assessments on the industry are sufficient to meet the cost of regulation. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-15 Executive Budget and will generate an additional $1.6 million annually. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately. Part E - Modify signature requirements on e-filed returns prepared by tax professionals Purpose: This bill would modify the signature requirements on e-filed returns prepared by tax professionals. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: This bill reflects the recommendation of the New York State Tax Reform and Fairness Commission that the signature requirement for e-filed returns be modified It would allow taxpayers to use electronic signatures when authorizing their tax preparers to e-file their tax returns and related documents. This would make the process less burdensome for tax professionals and serve to further reduce barriers to electronic filing. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget. It would implement a tax simplification recommendation of the Tax Reform and Fairness Commission and has no impact on the State's Financial Plan. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately. Part F - Eliminate the Income Threshold Inflation Adjustment For Enhanced STAR Benefits Purpose: This bill eliminates the annual cost of living adjustment for the income standard applicable to the Enhanced STAR exemption under the STAR program. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: This bill amends RPTL § 425(4) by eliminating the annual cost of living adjustment made to the income standard for Enhanced STAR eligibility beginning with the 2015-16 school year, effectively freezing the income threshold at $81,900. Existing law requires that the income threshold applicable for Enhanced STAR eligibility be adjusted annually to account for a cost-of-living adjustment percentage. STAR was enacted in 1997 to offset rising property taxes for homeowners and to provide additional targeted property tax relief to senior citizens. Since that time, a number of program enhancements have been made that contributed to increases in the current and projected cost of the STAR program. The costs of the STAR program increased approximately 32% between 2001-02 and 2012-13. The direct costs of the STAR program, including reimbursements made under RPTL 1306-a and State Finance Law § 54-f, in 2012-13 were over $3.3 billion. Capping the growth of the direct costs to the State of the program at current levels will limit spending at the State level and is critical for a balanced State budget. Budget Implications: Eliminating the annual cost of living adjustment will reduce General Fund spending by $3.1 million in SFY 2015-16. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately and applies to assessment rolls completed in 2015 and thereafter. Part G - Extend the Noncustodial Parent Earned Income Tax Credit for Two Years Purpose: This bill would extend the noncustodial parent earned income tax credit for two years, through tax year 2016. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: The credit is available to noncustodial parents who pay child support for a qualifying child with whom they do not reside. This credit rewards noncustodial parents who are working, and it provides a substantial work incentive for those not working or working intermittently. The credit is intended to encourage low-income noncustodial parents to comply with child support orders. It is also intended to encourage low-income noncustodial parents to become more involved in the economic and social well-being of their children. The credit currently applies to taxable years beginning before January 1, 2015. This bill would extend the credit for two years through tax year 2016. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget because it would decrease All Funds tax receipts by $4 million in each of SFYs 2016-17 and 2017-18. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately. Part H - Mandate for professional and business licenses electronic tax clearance upon application or renewal Purpose: This bill would create a new program to aid in enforcing and collecting past-due tax liabilities by preventing applicants from receiving or renewing professional or business licenses if they owe certain past-due tax liabilities. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: Under the Governor's direction, the State has initiated one of the most comprehensive one-stop electronic licensing initiatives in the country. This bill would further the Governor's initiative by requiring an electronic tax clearance when a professional or business license is sought or renewed. In return for the privilege of receiving such license, an applicant with fixed and final tax liabilities would be required either to pay the past-due tax liabilities or to enter into a payment agreement with the Department of Taxation and Finance. The bill would also permit electronic sales tax registration clearances for licenses related to business activities that require such registrations. The bill would build on the successful driver's license tax clearance program enacted as part of the 2013-14 Budget and on the General Obligations Law § 3-503 license clearance requirements related to delinquent child support obligations. By using modern electronic processing systems, there would be no inconvenience to applicants without tax liabilities, because these liability checks would run seamlessly in the background as the license application is processed. If the applicant's tax clearance is refused, the government agency processing the application would provide notice to the applicant to contact the Tax Department. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget, because it would increase All Funds receipts by $3 million in SFY 2015-16 and annually thereafter. Effective Date: The bill would take effect on June 1, 2014, provided, however, that the Department of Taxation and Finance and any government entity electing to receive an electronic tax clearance from the Department of Taxation and Finance may work to execute the necessary procedures and technical changes to support the electronic tax clearance process as described in sections one and two of this act before that date; provided, further, that this effective date would not impact the administration of any electronic tax clearance program authorized by any other provision of law. Part I - Close the resident trust loophole Purpose: This bill would amend the Tax Law to ensure that certain income earned by trusts is properly subject to New York income tax. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: This bill would amend the Tax Law to make two improvements to the taxation of trusts. First, the bill would tax distributions of accumulated trust income to New York beneficiaries of non-resident trusts and exempt resident trusts. Second, the bill would eliminate a loophole that allows incomplete gift, non-grantor trusts set up by New York residents to completely avoid New York income tax. These two amendments reflect the proposals included in the November 18, 2013 report made by the Trusts and Estates section of the New York State Bar Association to the Tax Reform and Fairness Commission. In general, from an income tax perspective, income that is earned by a trust may be included in the income of the grantor, the trust, or the beneficiaries of the trust. Under the Tax Law, however, the accumulated income (i.e the income of a trust that is not distributed to a beneficiary) of several types of trusts is not subject to any New York tax at the grantor level, the trust level, or the beneficiary level. The categories of trusts for which all or a portion of their accumulated income is not currently subject to New York income tax include: (1) non-resident trusts (i .e. a trust whose grantor is not domiciled in New York at the time the trust became irrevocable); (2) exempt resident trusts (i.e. trusts that are exempt from New York income taxation because three conditions in Tax Law § 605(b)(3) are satisfied); and (3) incomplete gift, non-grantor or "ING" trusts (i.e certain trusts that are specifically structured (i) so that the settlor's transfer of property to the trust is an incomplete gift and (ii) to avoid grantor trust status under Sections 671 through 678 of the Internal Revenue Code, Title 26, United States Code. This bill would remedy this problem by (1) taxing New York beneficiaries of non-resident trusts and exempt resident trusts on the accumulated income of the trusts when the income is distributed to the beneficiary and (2) including the income of an ING trust established by a New York resident in the current income of its grantor. The bill would also provide a credit for non-resident trust and exempt resident trust beneficiaries for taxes paid to other jurisdictions, require non-resident trusts and exempt resident trusts to file information returns, and make conforming changes to the New York City Administrative Code. This bill would be effective immediately and be applicable to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014 To mitigate transition issues, however, the section excludes from tax. (1) distributions of accumulated income by exempt resident trusts (except ING trusts) made before June 1, 2014, and (2) income earned by ING trusts that are liquidated on or before June 1, 2014. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-15 Executive Budget because it would increase tax revenues by $75 million in SFY 2014-15, $225 million in SFY 2015-16, and $150 million annually thereafter. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately and applies to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, provided that sections 1 and 6 do not apply to distributions occurring before June 1, 2014, while sections 2 and 7 do not apply to income earned by trusts covered by those section that are liquidated prior to June 1, 2014. Part J - Repeal the additional minimum personal income tax Purpose This bill would repeal the personal income tax "add-on" minimum tax. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: This bill would implement the recommendation of the New York State Tax Reform and Fairness Commission that the additional minimum personal income tax be repealed. The Commission found that this tax pre-dates the 1986 tax reforms and pertains to only 200 taxpayers with minimal revenue generated. New York has been penalized in tax rankings because, among other things, provisions like the add-on minimum tax make the State's tax code unnecessarily complex and burdensome This bill would repeal the additional tax, thereby helping to streamline the tax code to further the Commission's goal of making it less complex and burdensome. This bill would also make conforming changes to New York City's add-on minimum tax. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget. It would implement a tax simplification recommendation of the Tax Reform and Fairness Commission and has minimal impact on the State's Financial Plan. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately and applies to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Part K - Establish the Residential Real Property Personal Income Tax Credit Purpose: This bill would create a new enhanced property tax circuit break credit for low- and middle-income homeowners. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: New York homeowners pay some of the highest property tax bills in the nation, whether measured in absolute terms or as a percentage of income or home value. Property taxes have seriously burdened New York's working families and senior citizens. While progress has been made and should continue under the existing property tax cap, there is also a need to help New York's overburdened homeowners based on ability to pay. This bill, a recommendation of the Tax Reduction Commission, would create a new real property tax circuit breaker that offers larger credit amounts for all taxing jurisdictions that stay within the property tax cap. The credit is targeted to help low-income and middle class New York homeowners with qualifying incomes up to $200,000. The credit value rises with the size of the homeowner's property tax burden. The bill would also keep the existing circuit breaker in place so that New York homeowners currently benefiting from the circuit breaker are not denied a benefit if their taxing jurisdictions do not comply with the property tax cap. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget. It would implement a reform recommendation of the Tax Reduction Commission and reduce All Funds receipts by a total of $200 million in SFY 2015-16, by $525 million in SFY 2016-17, and by $1 billion annually thereafter. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately and applies to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Part L - Establish a renter's personal income tax credit Purpose: This bill would provide a credit against the personal income tax for eligible renters. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: This bill would provide a personal income tax credit for eligible low and middle income taxpayers who rent their primary residences. This credit may be taken in lieu of the current real property tax circuit breaker credit for renters if the amount of this credit is higher and the taxpayer qualifies for both credits. The amount of credit would be based on the taxpayer's income level and filing status A qualified taxpayer who is 65 years or older and has a "single" filing status would be eligible for a base credit, and a qualified taxpayer who files a joint return with a spouse who is sixty-five years of age or older, or files as a head of household, married individual filing a separate return or surviving spouse and has at least one dependent, would be eligible for a base credit and an additional amount based on the number of federal exemptions claimed by such taxpayer The credit will be phased in for taxable years beginning in 2014, with the initial credit set at one-half of the credit that would be applicable for taxable years beginning in or after 2015. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget and financial plan. It would reduce All Funds receipts by a total of $200 million in State Fiscal Year 2015-16 and $400 million annually thereafter. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately. Part M - Modify delivery of the family tax relief credit after Tax Year 2014 Purpose: This bill would eliminate the prepayment element of the family tax relief credit in section 606 (vv) of the tax law for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2015. Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, Prior Legislative History, and Statement in Support: This bill would amend § 606(vv) of the Tax Law to eliminate the prepayment of the family tax relief credit in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2015 and provide that eligibility for the credit will be based on the taxpayer's tax return for the current year Existing law provides that the prepayment would be available in each year that the credit is allowed (i.e., tax years 2014, 2015 and 2016). Because of the prepayment, it was necessary to determine eligibility from a taxpayer's return filed two years prior. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget because it would increase All Funds tax receipts by $410 million in SFY 2015-16 and reduce All Funds tax receipts by $410 million in SFY 2017-18. Effective Date: This bill would take effect immediately and apply to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2015. Part N - Increase the personal income tax filing threshold to reduce the number of taxpayers who need to file personal income tax returns Purpose: This bill would raise the threshold for filers by eliminating the personal income tax filing requirement for residents having no tax liability because the resident's income does not exceed the New York standard deduction. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: This bill would eliminate the requirement that a resident who has a modified federal adjusted gross income in excess of $4,000 but less than the New York standard deduction ($15,650 for married couples) file a personal income tax return if he or she does not file a federal personal income tax return. This bill would require only residents who have modified federal adjusted gross income in excess of the New York standard deduction to file a personal income tax return. Raising the filing threshold to the current standard deduction levels would eliminate filing for approximately 270,000 taxpayers who owe no New York personal income tax and are not eligible for any refunds (one-half of whom are senior citizens). The Internal Revenue Service uses a similar standard. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill would implement a tax simplification recommendation of the Tax Reform and Fairness Commission and have no impact on the State's Financial Plan. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately. Part O - Extend the Empire State Commercial Production Tax Credit for Two Years Purpose: This bill would extend the Empire State Commercial Production Tax Credit for two years, until December 31, 2016. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: The Empire State Commercial Production tax credit is available for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2007 and expires on December 31, 2014. In general, the credit is available to qualifying taxpayers under Articles 9-A and 22 in an amount equal to 20 percent of the qualifying production costs incurred in the actual filming or recording of a qualified commercial in New York that exceed the average of the previous years' costs for which the credit was applied, plus 5 percent of costs if costs exceed $500,000 in the calendar year in the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District (MCTD) and above $200,000 in the calendar year outside the MCTD. This bill would extend the expiration of the tax credit by two years, until December 31, 2016. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget. It would decrease All Funds tax receipts by $7 million in each of SFYs 2016-17 and 2017-18. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately. Part P - Authorize additional credits of $8 million for the low-income housing credit for each of the next two fiscal years Purpose: This bill would increase the aggregate amount of low income housing tax credit the Commissioner of Housing and Community Renewal may allocate from $48 million to $56 million for state fiscal year (SFY) 2014-15 and from $56 million to $64 million for SFY 2015-16. Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, Prior Legislative History, and Statement in Support: Section one of the bill would amend § 22 of the Public Housing Law to increase the aggregate amount of low income housing tax credit the Commissioner may allocate from $48 million to $56 million in SFY 2014-15. Section two of the bill would amend § 22 of the Public Housing Law to increase the aggregate amount of low income housing tax credit the Commissioner may allocate from $56 million to $64 million in SFY 2015-16. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget because it would decrease All Funds tax receipts by $8 million in SFY 2015-16, $16 million annually through SFY 2024-25 and $8 million in SFY 2025-26. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately, however, section two would take effect on April 1, 2015 Part Q - Extend and Reform the Brownfield Cleanup Program Purpose: This bill would extend the brownfield cleanup program and tax credits for 10 years and further reform the program. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: The bill would: * Continue the brownfield cleanup program (BCP) and tax credits for 10 years (through December 31, 2025) with needed reforms; * Separate BCP eligibility from tangible property credit eligibility, limiting eligibility for tangible property credits to: a. properties vacant for at least 15 years or vacant and tax delinquent for 10 years or more; b. "upside down" properties (where the property value is less than cleanup costs); and c. priority economic development projects; * Provide "bonus" credits for affordable housing, location in an Environmental Zone, and conforming with a Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA) plan; * Limit eligible site preparation costs to only those needed for effective cleanup; * Establish BCP EZ, a fast-track voluntary cleanup option that provides liability relief without tax credits; * Terminate sites that have been in the program since before June 2008 that do not complete cleanup by December 31, 2015, and sites in the program from June 2008 through July 1, 2014 that do not complete cleanup by December 31, 2017; * Limit the tangible property tax credit to five consecutive tax years either after the date of the issuance of the certificate of completion or the start of the redevelopment of the site; and * Repeal the insurance remediation tax credit and the real property tax credit for new sites accepted into the program after July 1, 2014. The bill would also exempt hazardous waste generated at certain sites from fees and special assessments, and would authorize DEC to undertake environmental restoration projects on behalf of a municipality upon its request. The BCP tax credits are scheduled to sunset on December 31, 2015. In the ten years since it was established, the BCP has catalyzed the cleanup of over 150 contaminated sites statewide, incentivizing redevelopment. However, it has also resulted in the awarding of over $800 million in tax credits without regard to the need for financial assistance Amendments to the BCP program made in 2008 established a cap on tangible (redevelopment) property tax credits; this bill would eliminate the tangible tax credits for sites that do not need them to encourage redevelopment. The NYS Tax Reform and Fairness Commission recommended that the BCP be amended to prevent developments that would have gone forward without tax credits from taking advantage of the program. This bill would implement the Commission's recommendation. The bill would focus tax credits on sites and areas of the State, especially upstate, that need them the most to foster redevelopment. It would also establish a fast-track option without tax credits that would provide streamlined state oversight of site cleanup. BCP-EZ, in addition to providing developers with a fast-track option, would reduce State spending, while allowing developers to obtain the post-clean-up liability releases necessary to obtain financing for future site redevelopment. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget because it would maintain program continuity and provide certainty to program participants Enactment of this bill would have no impact on tax receipts during the Financial Plan period, but would provide long term savings. Effective Date: This bill takes effect July 1, 2014. Part R - Establish a 20 percent real property tax credit for manufacturers; eliminate the net income tax on upstate manufacturers; reform the investment tax credit; and repeal the financial services investment tax credit Purpose: This bill would create a new real property tax credit for "qualified New York manufacturers", reduce the entire net income tax rate for qualified upstate New York manufacturers, reform the investment tax credit (ITC) and repeal the financial services ITC. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: Providing tax relief to manufacturers in this State is necessary to help existing New York manufacturers survive and attract new manufacturers to the State. This bill incorporates the recommendations of the New York State Tax Relief Commission by providing a real property tax credit to qualified New York manufacturers and reducing the entire net income tax rate for qualified upstate manufacturers. The New York State Tax Reform and Fairness Commission recommended ITC reform in order to more effectively target the State's investment. The ITC would no longer be available for property used by companies that do not qualify as manufacturers. In addition, the New York State Tax Reform and Fairness Commission recommended that the financial services ITC authorized under Articles 9-A, 22, 32 and 33 of the Tax Law be eliminated because the credit is complex, frequently subject to complicated recapture provisions, and provides benefits to an extremely limited segment of the financial services industry. Section 1 would add the definition of a "qualified New York manufacturer" to the Tax Law. It is derived from the definition currently in place for the reduced Article 9-A tax rates for manufacturers, which defines a "qualified New York manufacturer" as a taxpayer that is principally engaged in manufacturing (i.e., more than 50% of its gross receipts derived from the sale of manufactured goods) and has a minimum amount of property used for manufacturing within the state or employees engaged in manufacturing within the state. Section 2 would create a new refundable real property tax credit for qualified New York manufacturers under Article 9-A (corporate franchise tax) equal to 20 percent of the real property tax qualified New York manufacturers paid on property used for manufacturing during the taxable year. Sections 3 and 4 would make conforming changes to Article 22 (personal income tax) for the new refundable real property tax credit for qualified manufacturers. Section 5 would reform the ITC under Article 9-A by restricting the credit to qualified New York manufacturers and qualified New York agricultural and mining businesses for property used to produce goods for sale or research and development property. This section also repeals the financial services ITC. Section 6 would amend the ITC for taxpayers that lease tangible personal property to reflect the repeal of the financial services ITC and the disallowance of the ITC for a qualified film production facility. Sections 7 and 8 would exclude air pollution control facilities and air or water pollution control facilities from receiving the ITC and would repeal the rehabilitation for historic barns and retail enterprise credits that are part of the investment tax credit. Sections 9 through 13 would make conforming changes to Article 22 (personal income tax) for the reform of the ITC and repeal of the financial services ITC. Section 14 would repeal the ITC for Article 32 (bank tax) taxpayers. Section 15 would repeal the ITC for Article 33 (insurance tax) taxpayers. Section 16 would reduce the entire net income tax rate from 5.9 percent to zero percent for qualified upstate New York manufacturers defined as taxpayers that have a zero allocation percentage in the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District for purposes of the MTA business tax surcharge. Section 17 would amend the capital base definition under Article 9-A to include the definition of a qualified New York manufacturer as defined in Section 1 of the bill. Section 18 would amend the alternative minimum tax definition under Article 9-A to include the definition of a qualified New York manufacturer as defined in Section 1 of the bill. Section 19 would amend the fixed dollar minimum tax definition under Article 9-A to include the definition of a qualified New York manufacturer as defined in Section 1 of the bill. Section 20 states that for the purposes of determining whether a taxpayer is an eligible qualified New York manufacturer and able to receive the associated tax benefits available for tax years 2012 through 2014, the taxpayer shall use the guidelines and criteria that were in effect for December 31, 2013. Section 21 would remove the Excelsior ITC component for taxpayers who file under Article 32 or Article 33. Section 22 contains a severability clause. Section 23 provides for an effective date of January 1, 2014. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget. In particular: * The real property tax credit for manufacturers would decrease All Funds tax receipts by $136 million in each of SFYs 2015-16 through 2018-19. * The reform of the ITC would increase All Funds tax receipts by $65 million in each of SFYs 2014-15 through 2018-19. * The repeal of the financial services ITC would increase All Funds tax receipts by $30 million in each of SFYs 2014-15 through 2018-19 * The reduction of the entire net income rate for qualified upstate New York manufacturers would decrease All Funds tax receipts by $24 million in SFYs 201415 through 2015-16 and $25 million in SFYs 2016-17 through 2018-19. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately and would apply to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Part S - Repeal the franchise tax on agriculture cooperatives Purpose: This bill would repeal the State's Tax Law § 185 franchise tax on farmers', fruit growers', and other like agricultural corporations organized and operated on a co-operative basis. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: The bill would repeal the franchise tax on agriculture cooperatives and exempt those corporations from tax The bill would also make conforming changes to the Tax Law and various other laws. Only 45 taxpayers pay this tax, and the median tax is $160 with one-third of taxpayers only paying $10. Since SFY 2006-07, in only one year (SFY 2011-12) were receipts greater than the amount of refunds paid out. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget, because it would implement a tax simplification recommendation of the Tax Reform and Fairness Commission and has no impact on the State's Financial Plan. Effective Date: The bill would take effect immediately and apply to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2015. Part T - Provide a refundable credit for the excise tax on telecommunication services paid by START-UP NY companies. Purpose: This bill would provide a refundable credit for the excise tax on telecommunication services paid by START-UP NY companies. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: Section 186-e of the Tax Law imposes an excise tax on telecommunication services that is customarily passed through by the telecommunications provider to its customers. The bill would provide that START-UP NY companies would be allowed a refundable credit equal to the section 186-e tax that is passed through to such businesses. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget, because it would eliminate an inconsistency in the current START-UP NY statute The cost of this bill is included in the Financial Plan as part of the cost of the START-UP NY program. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately and applies to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Part U - Enhance the Youth Works Tax Credit Purpose: This bill would amend the Tax Law to allow employers to claim the New York State Youth Works credit for certain employees who work ten hours per week if the employees are enrolled in high school full time, and to provide an additional tax credit to employers that employ such youth for one additional year Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: Currently, employers can claim the New York State Youth Works credit only for employees employed either full time or part-time (who worked at least twenty hours per week) This bill amends the Tax Law to conform to amendments to the Labor Law that were added by Chapter 536 of the Laws of 2013 which expanded coverage of the credit to include employees who work at least ten hours per week while enrolled full time in high school, for purposes of calculating the credit. Additionally this bill would provide an additional $1,000 tax credit for employers that retain youth in full-time status for one additional year and an additional $500 for employers that retain youth in a part-time status for one additional year. Finally, this bill increases the allocation amounts under programs two through five from $6 million to $10 million. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2013-14 Executive Budget because it would decrease All Funds tax receipts by $4 million in each of SFYs 2015-16 through 2018-19. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately and applies to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Part V - Extend the alternative fuels tax exemptions for two years Purpose: This bill would extend the sunset from September 1, 2014 to September 1, 2016 for the tax exemptions for alternative fuels, including E85, CNG, hydrogen, and B20. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law and Prior Legislative History: Extending the exemptions for alternative fuels would continue to provide an incentive for the use of renewable fuels and is part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce dependence on foreign oil and to increase the use of clean energy fuels. This bill would extend the sunset for the exemptions in the Tax Law for alternative fuels from September 1, 2014 to September 1, 2016. Unless this sunset is extended, the Tax Law will no longer allow full exemptions for E85, CNG, and hydrogen, and partial exemption for B20 from the motor fuel taxes (Article 12-A), the petroleum business taxes (Article 13-A), fuel use taxes (Article 21-A) and State and local sales and compensating use taxes (Articles 28 and 29). Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget because it would reduce All Funds sales and use, petroleum business, and motor fuel taxes by a total of $8 million in SFY 2014-15, $16 million in SFY 2015-16 and $8 million in SFY 2016-17. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately. Part W - Simplify the distribution of motor vehicle fee receipts Purpose: This bill would replace all current Department of Motor Vehicles General Fund (MVGF) transfers with a simplified structure. Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, Prior Legislative History, and Statement in Support: Section one of the bill would amend § 15 of Part V of chapter 61 of the laws of 2005 by ending the current MVGF structure. A GF transfer is also created that in each quarter accomplishes the following: * The Dedicated Highway Bridge Trust Fund (DHBTF) will receive $16,498,255 (annual amount is $65,993,020); * The Mass Transportation Trust Fund (MTTF) will receive $15,665,245 (annual amount is $62,660,980). Section two of the bill would amend § 503 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law to end the current transfer of the first $40.7 million of the Driver Responsibility Act (DRA) receipts to the General Fund. Instead, all revenues from the DRA will be directed to the DHBTF. The DHBTF transfer in section one was reduced to reflect this additional amount. Current law requires an annual transfer of $169,354,000 from the MVGF to the Dedicated Funds ($106,693,020 to the DHBTF and $62,660,980 to the MTTF). This transfer occurs on a monthly basis from non-dedicated motor vehicle receipts until the transfer amount has been met. Current law also requires that the first $40.7 million of the Driver Responsibility Act receipts collected each year be directed to the MVGF This bill would replace the identification of specific motor vehicle fee revenue streams as they flow into the GF with DRA revenue going directly onto a dedicated fund and a simple GF transfer to the correct dedicated funds. Budget Implications: This bill is revenue neutral and there is no impact on overall revenue for the DHBTF, MTTF or General Fund. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately. Part X - Comprehensive estate tax reform Purpose: This bill would amend the estate tax to: (1) increase the exclusion threshold to the amount of the current federal unified credit over 5 years; (2) decrease the top estate tax rate, and (3) require the add-back of certain gifts and incorporate applicable Internal Revenue Code (IRC) provisions. The bill would also repeal the generation skipping transfer (GST) tax in Tax Law Article 26-B. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law and Prior Legislative History: New York's estate tax currently conforms to the IRC with all amendments through July 1, 1998, except that the exclusion amount is fixed at $1 million The estate tax is commonly known as a "pick-up" tax, because the tax is equal to the federal credit for state estate taxes, as it existed on July 22, 1998. This tax is woefully out of date. It is tied to a federal law that no longer exists in practical effect, because the IRC has undergone significant amendments over the last 15 years that have not been adopted by New York For example, the credit for state estate taxes - the base of New York's estate tax - no longer exists in federal law. Moreover, when the current State exclusion amount of $1 million was set, it was not indexed to inflation or tied to the periodic increases in the federal estate tax exclusion amount The federal estate tax exclusion amount has been raised to $5.25 million and indexed to inflation, leaving New York significantly out of sync. New York is one of only 15 states with an estate tax and only two states currently have a lower exemption. Consistent with Governor Cuomo's Tax Relief Commission Report, this bill would increase the New York exclusion amount to the federal amount of $5.25 million over four years, with the exclusion indexed to inflation thereafter. Many estates of middle class individuals (including small business owners and family farmers) will no longer be subject to the tax as a result of increasing the exclusion amount. The bill would also phase down the top tax rate from 16 percent to 10 percent by State Fiscal Year 201718. This will address an incentive for wealthy New Yorkers to leave the State. It would also require certain gifts made after April 1, 2014 to be included in a decedent's New York gross estate, closing a loophole by preventing deathbed gifts from escaping the estate tax. The bill would also repeal the GST tax in Article 26-B of the Tax Law, as recommended by Governor Cuomo's Tax Reform and Fairness Commission Currently, federal law imposes estate, gift and GST taxes as part of a comprehensive scheme for the taxation of wealth transfers. Federal law also provides for a unified credit that is applied to each of these taxes so that all such wealth transfers receive equivalent tax treatment. New York's gift tax was repealed, effective January 1, 2000. The current GST is based on a federal credit for state GST taxes that expired in 2004 Moreover, that federal credit, and therefore, New York's GST tax, applied only to certain specific types of generation-skipping transfers (i.e., distributions and terminations of trusts that occurred at the same time and as the result of the death of an individual) Because the federal GST tax already provides an effective disincentive to wealth transfers to grandchildren and later generations, New York's tax is largely unnecessary to prevent estate tax avoidance. The current GST tax affects a few dozen taxpayers each year, yields minimal annual revenue, and frequently causes taxpayer confusion. Repealing this tax would result in minimal revenue loss and provide taxpayer relief. A significant portion of the bill creates an appendix to the Tax Law of all of the IRC provisions, as amended through January 1, 2014, which are relevant to the estate tax. The current appendix, which was enacted by § 2 of Chapter 1013 of the laws of 1962, and periodically amended, is based on the 1998 version of the IRC. This bill would repeal the outdated appendix in Chapter 1013, and replace it with a new appendix of current IRC provisions located in the consolidated law. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget. It would reduce revenues by $33 million in SFY 2014-15, $175 million in SFY 2015-16, $371 million in SFY 2016-17, $612 million in SFY 2017-18 and $757 million in SFY 2018-19. Effective Date: This bill would take effect on April 1, 2014 and would apply to estates of decedents dying on or after that date. Part Y - Repeal the Boxing and Wrestling Exhibitions Tax Purpose: This bill would repeal Article 19 of the Tax Law, which imposes the State's Boxing and Wrestling Exhibitions Tax Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: This bill would repeal Article 19 of the Tax Law, which imposes the State's Boxing and Wrestling Exhibitions Tax on a promoter's gross receipts from ticket sales to attend the event and on the promoter's sale of broadcast rights to the event, at the rate of three percent. The bill would also repeal section 1820 of the Tax Law, which imposes misdemeanor penalties for willful failure to comply with provisions of Article 19. The effect of repealing the Article 19 tax is that State and local sales taxes on admission charges would arise on the charge for tickets sold to boxing and wrestling events held in this State, regardless of where the ticket is sold. Tax Law § 1105(f)(1) imposes sales tax on admission charges including admissions to sporting events, but excludes from sales tax admission charges to boxing, sparring, or wrestling matches or exhibitions which are taxed by another law of the State. By repealing the Article 19 tax, the State and local sales tax on admission charges to such events will automatically apply, because the exclusion condition is no longer met. The replacement of the boxing and wrestling tax with the sales tax on admissions to boxing and wrestling bouts was recommended by the New York State Tax Reform and Fairness Commission to create more consistent tax treatment between boxing and wrestling events and other sporting events. The bill would also make conforming amendments to Chapter 912 of the Laws of 1920, which authorized the State Athletic Commission to administer boxing and wrestling events. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget because it would implement a tax simplification recommendation of the Tax Reform and Fairness Commission and has no impact on the State's Financial Plan. Effective Date: The bill would take effect September 1, 2014. The bill would apply to sales of tickets to events occurring on or after the effective date, whether or not the admission was paid prior to that date, unless the tickets were actually sold and delivered to the purchaser prior to that date. Part Z - Extend Monticello Raceway Video Lottery Terminal rates for one year Purpose: This bill would extend for one year the current distribution of video lottery gaming revenue at Monticello Raceway (Monticello). Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: This bill would extend for one year the current commission rate paid to Monticello as a video lottery agent. In 2008, Monticello was given a higher commission rate for a five-year period in exchange for opting out of participation in a capital award program. Thus, the five-year rate sunset was applied to coincide with the five-year period other facilities were provided for approval of capital expenditures eligible for reimbursement through the program. The capital award program was extended for a sixth year (to 2014) by chapter 454 of the Laws of 2012 and is proposed to be extended to 2015 by the 2014-2015 Executive Budget. Since the expiration of Monticello's rate would result in loss of the enhanced commission, but would not provide for participation in the capital award program, this bill would extend Monticello's rate for an additional year to maintain the original framework of Monticello's rate structure and keep its duration consistent with the capital award program. Section 1 of the bill amends Section 1612(b)(1)(ii)(F) of the Tax Law to extend from six to seven years the forty-one percent vendor fee paid to a vendor track located in Sullivan County and within sixty miles from any gaming facility in a contiguous state. Section 2 of the bill provides for an immediate effective date that shall be deemed in effect on and after April 1, 2014. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2013-14 Executive Budget. It would decrease All Funds revenue by $3 million in SFY 2014-15. Effective Date: This bill takes effect after April 1, 2014. Part AA - Extend certain tax rates and certain simulcasting provisions for one year Purpose: This bill would extend for one additional year various provisions of the Racing, PariMutuel Wagering and Breeding (Racing) Law which expire during the 2014-15 fiscal year. Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, Prior Legislative History, and Statement in Support: Section 1 would amend Racing Law § 1003(a) to extend the June 30, 2014 expiration date for in-home simulcasting. Section 2 would amend Racing Law § 1007(3)(d) to extend the current percentage of total pools allocated to purses that a track located in Westchester County receives from a franchised corporation, which currently are scheduled to expire on June 30, 2014. Section 3 would amend the opening paragraph of Racing Law § 1014, to continue the provisions allowing simulcasting of out-of-state thoroughbred races on any day the Saratoga thoroughbred track is operating, which currently are scheduled to expire on June 30, 2014. Section 4 would amend Racing Law § 1015(1) to extend the provisions governing the simulcasting of races conducted at out-of-state harness tracks, which currently are scheduled to expire on June 30, 2014. Section 5 would amend the opening paragraph of Racing Law § 1016(1) to continue the provisions governing the simulcasting of out-of-state thoroughbred races on any day the Saratoga thoroughbred track is closed, which currently are scheduled to expire on June 30, 2014. Section 6 would amend the opening paragraph of section 1018 of the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law to extend the current distribution of revenue from out-of-state simulcasting during the Saratoga meet, which expired on September 8, 2013. Section 7 would amend § 32 of chapter 281 of the Laws of 1994 to extend the current amount of off-track betting wagers on New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) pools dedicated to purse enhancement, which currently expire on June 30, 2014. Section 8 would amend § 54 of chapter 346 of the Laws of 1990 to continue binding arbitration for disagreements. These provisions currently expire on July 1, 2014. Section 9 would amend Racing Law § 238(1)(a) to continue the current distribution of revenue from on-track wagering on NYRA races, which currently is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2014. Extending these provisions would maintain the pari-mutuel betting and simulcasting structure that is currently in place in New York State. The provisions extended by sections one through six of this bill were first enacted in 1994 and section seven was enacted in 1990. These provisions were extended numerous times since their original enactment, and most recently in 2013. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget because it maintains the current pari-mutuel betting structure in New York State. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately. Part BB - Extend the Video Lottery Gaming (VLG) vendor's capital awards program for one year Purpose: This bill would extend for one year the deadline to receive approval and to complete capital projects that are reimbursed through the Video Lottery Gaming (VLG) vendor's capital award program. Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, Prior Legislative History, and Statement in Support: This bill would extend by one year, until April 1, 2015, the deadline to receive approval for capital projects to be reimbursed through the VLG vendor's capital award program. The bill also extends by one year, until April 1, 2017, the deadline to complete these projects. For certain vendor tracks located west of State Route 14, these deadlines are extended to April 1, 2019 for approvals and to April 1, 2021 for completion. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget because it maintains the current VLG revenue stream. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately. Part CC - Repeal Article 12 of the Tax Law Purpose: This bill would repeal Article 12 of the Tax Law and make conforming changes to other provisions of law that reference it. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: Article 12 of the Tax Law imposes a tax on all sales and deliveries or transfers of shares or certificates of stock With the creation of the Municipal Assistance Corporation (MAC) to provide financial assistance to New York City, these revenues were used as additional security for MAC bonds In 1981, a 100% rebate of the tax was instituted, but the tax itself was kept in place to continue backing the MAC bonds. The MAC bonds were retired in 2008, which means the backing of these revenues is no longer needed for this purpose. This bill would repeal Article 12 and also would repeal related funds (State Finance Law sections 92-B and 92-I, which is the Incentive Fund). The remaining sections of the bill make conforming changes to the Tax Law, Banking Law, Public Authorities Law, State Finance Law, and the Administrative Code of the City of New York. This act would take effect June 1, 2014, however, the repeal of Incentive Fund would not take effect until two years after the effective date of this act, and a taxpayer's right to claim a rebate would be preserved for those two years. This would allow taxpayers, who may have paid the tax before its repeal, the full statutory two years currently. allowed to file for a rebate of the tax paid. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget because it would implement a tax simplification recommendation of the Tax Reform and Fairness Commission and has no impact on the State's Financial Plan. Effective Date: The bill would take effect on June 1, 2014. However, the repeal of the Incentive Fund in section 10 of the bill would not take effect until two years from the date this act takes effect. Part DD - Align mobility and personal income tax filings for the self-employed Purpose: This bill would allow self-employed individuals who are subject to the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Mobility Tax ("MCTMT") to file their MCTMT returns at the same time as their personal income tax returns. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: This is a new bill recommended by the New York State Tax Reform and Fairness Commission. It would change the due dates for filing returns and making estimated tax payments for self-employed individuals subject to the MCTMT. The bill would uncouple the due date for estimated MCTMT payments for self-employed individuals from the date for estimated MCTMT payments for employers (i e., April 30, July 31, October 31, January 31). Instead, such payments would be due on the same date as quarterly estimated personal income tax payments (i.e., April 15, June 15, September 15, January 15). Taxpayers would be allowed to file combined returns for their personal income tax and MCTMT, and the Tax Department would be authorized to pursue joint assessments and actions for the two taxes. The bill also would change the MCTMT return due date from April 30 to April 15, to conform to the personal income tax due date. Allowing self-employed individuals to file their MCTMT returns in conjunction with their personal income tax returns, and to make their quarterly estimated MCTMT payments with their quarterly estimated personal income tax payments, would simplify tax compliance for these taxpayers. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget. It would implement a tax simplification recommendation of the Tax Reform and Fairness Commission and has no impact on the State's Financial Plan. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately and applies to taxable years beginning January 1, 2015. Part EE - Make technical amendments to the commercial gaming law Purpose: This bill would allow for the distribution of moneys in the Commercial Gaming Revenue Fund for support of education to be made in the year received. It also makes technical changes to the Upstate New York Gaming and Economic Development Act of 2013. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: This bill would allow revenue from commercial gaming dedicated to support education to be distributed following monthly transfers to cover a shortfall, if any, in the Video Lottery Education Fund. Under current law, commercial gaming revenue dedicated to support education may not be distributed until the fiscal year following receipt of the revenue. Section one of the bill would amend State Finance Law § 97-nnnn(4) to require transfers to the Video Lottery Education Fund to be made on a monthly basis, and allows revenue to be distributed to support education in the year revenue is received. Section two of the bill would amend State Finance Law § 97-nnnn(5) to make technical corrections to law references. Section three of the bill would amend section 52 of Chapter 174 of the Laws of 2013 to make technical corrections to clarify the effective dates of certain provisions of Upstate New York Gaming and Economic Development Act of 2013. Section four of the bill would amend State Finance Law § 99-h(3-a) to clarify that payments of regional county aid equal 10 percent of exclusivity payments received by the State. Section five of the bill would amend Tax Law § 1617-a(g) to extend the term of video lottery gaming licenses issued before July 30, 2013 until the applicant's next birthday following June 30, 2014. Section six of the bill provides the effective dates. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget, because it would allow revenue from commercial gaming dedicated to support education to be used in the year received. Effective Date: This bill would take effect immediately, provided, however, that section one would take effect on April 1, 2015 and section three would be deemed to have taken effect on the same date as Chapter 174 of the Laws of 2014. Part FF - Provide a two-year property tax freeze through a refundable personal income tax credit Purpose: This bill would create a refundable personal income tax credit for homeowners which would effectively hold property taxes on their primary residences constant for two years. Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior Legislative History: New York homeowners are subject to some of the highest property tax bills in the nation, whether measured in absolute terms or as a percentage of income or home value. Property taxes have seriously burdened New York's working families and senior citizens and hindered job growth. While progress has been made and should continue under the property tax cap legislation, there is a need to further reduce the property tax burden. This bill effectively freezes property taxes on the primary residences of homeowners with annual incomes at or less than $500,000 in local governments and school districts that stay within the cap for the next two years. This will be effective for school districts starting with the 2014-15 school year and for local governments in fiscal years beginning in 2015. In order for homeowners in their jurisdiction to receive the tax credit in the second year, school districts and local governments must continue to stay within the tax cap and must work together to develop and implement plans for sharing or consolidating services that, when implemented, will achieve real savings for taxpayers. Budget Implications: Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2014-2015 Executive Budget because it would reduce All Funds receipts by a total of $400 million in SFY 2014-15, $976 million in SFY 2015-16, and $475 million in SFY 2016-17. Effective Date: This bill takes effect immediately and applies to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

(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. (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 S. 6359 24 A. 8559 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. (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 S. 6359 25 A. 8559 taxpayer, the QSSS shall be a New York C corporation and the provisions of clause (B) of subparagraph three of this paragraph shall apply.

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. (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.

(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- S. 6359 29 A. 8559 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.

[For taxable years 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 before January first, two thousand eighteen, and twenty-five percent for taxable years beginning on or after January first, two thousand eigh- teen.

(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- ble 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 eigh- teen, 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- S. 6359 46 A. 8559 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 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 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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

THE COMMISSIONER, OR HIS OR HER DESIGNEE, SHALL COOPERATE WITH ANY GOVERNMENT ENTITY EXERCISING ITS AUTHORITY PURSUANT TO SECTION 3-505 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW TO ESTABLISH PROCEDURES BY WHICH THE DEPART- MENT SHALL ELECTRONICALLY RECEIVE A TAX CLEARANCE REQUEST AS AN ELEC- TRONIC LICENSE APPLICATION IS PROCESSED, AND ELECTRONICALLY TRANSMIT SUCH TAX CLEARANCE TO THE GOVERNMENT ENTITY.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF LAW, THE DEPARTMENT MAY EXCHANGE WITH A GOVERNMENT ENTITY ANY DATA OR INFORMATION NECESSARY THAT, IN THE DISCRETION OF THE COMMISSIONER, IS NECESSARY FOR THE IMPLE- MENTATION OF ANY ELECTRONIC TAX CLEARANCE. HOWEVER, NO OTHER AGENCY MAY RE-DISCLOSE THIS INFORMATION TO ANY OTHER ENTITY OR PERSON, OTHER THAN FOR THE PURPOSE OF INFORMING THE APPLICANT THAT THE APPLICATION FOR A LICENSE OR THE RENEWAL OF SUCH LICENSE WILL NOT BE PROCESSED DUE TO THE LACK OF A REQUIRED TAX CLEARANCE AUTHORIZED BY ANY PROVISION OF LAW UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED BY LAW. 7. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION, THE ACTIVITIES TO COLLECT PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES UNDERTAKEN BY THE DEPARTMENT PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION SHALL NOT IN ANY WAY LIMIT, RESTRICT OR IMPAIR THE DEPARTMENT FROM EXERCISING ANY OTHER AUTHORITY TO COLLECT OR ENFORCE TAX LIABILITIES UNDER ANY OTHER APPLICABLE PROVISION OF LAW. 8.

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 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 S. 6359 197 A. 8559 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. S 11.
