or other entity, including an entity that is treated as a partnership or
other pass-through vehicle for purposes  of  federal  taxation,  whether
such  person, corporation or entity is a taxpayer or not, where one such
person, corporation or entity, or set of related  persons,  corporations
or  entities,  directly  or  indirectly  owns  or controls a controlling
interest in another entity. Such entity  or  entities  may  include  all
taxpayers under this title].  "RELATED MEMBER" MEANS A RELATED PERSON AS
DEFINED  IN  SUBPARAGRAPH  (C)  OF  PARAGRAPH THREE OF SUBSECTION (B) OF

nership,  association,  trust or other entity, thirty percent or more of
the capital, profits or beneficial interest in such partnership, associ-
ation, trust or other entity.] EFFECTIVE RATE OF TAX. "EFFECTIVE RATE OF
TAX" MEANS, AS TO ANY CITY, THE MAXIMUM STATUTORY RATE OF TAX IMPOSED BY
THE  CITY  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  CITY  IS  ZERO  WHERE  THE  RELATED
MEMBER'S NET INCOME TAX LIABILITY IN SAID CITY 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 CITY 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  PROPERTY  OR  COLLECTING  INTEREST
INCOME  IN  THAT CITY, THE MAXIMUM STATUTORY RATE OF TAX IMPOSED BY SAID

SIMILAR ADJUSTMENT.
  (C) Royalty payments. Royalty payments are payments directly connected
to the acquisition, use, maintenance  or  management,  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.

the extent that such payments meet either of the following conditions:
  (i) the related member during the same taxable year directly or  indi-
rectly  paid  or incurred the amount to a person or entity that is not a
related member, and such transaction was done for a valid  business  and

organized under the laws of a country other than the United States,  are
subject  to  a  comprehensive income tax treaty between such country and

the United States, and are taxed in such country at a tax rate at  least
equal to that imposed by this state.
  (3)  Royalty  income exclusions. (A) For the purpose of computing city
adjusted gross income, a taxpayer shall be  allowed  to  deduct  royalty
payments  directly  or  indirectly received from a related member during
the taxable year to the extent included in the taxpayer's federal  taxa-
ble  income  unless  such  royalty  payments would not be required to be
added back under paragraph two of  this  subdivision  or  other  similar
provision  in  this title.] EXCEPTIONS.   (I) THE ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED IN

allowed  in an amount which will reduce the tax payable to less than the
higher of the amounts prescribed in paragraphs (c) and (d)  of  subdivi-

may  be  carried over to the following year or years and may be deducted
from the taxpayer's tax for such year or years.
  (e) Credit recapture. [(i) Alternative fuel vehicle refueling  proper-
ty.] If, at any time before the end of its recovery period, [alternative

a taxpayer with respect to a taxable year,  the  action  taken  by  such
taxpayer which resulted in such credit being allowed thereto may, at the
election  of  the taxpayer and an affiliate thereof, be ascribed to such
affiliate. Where such affiliate, based on such  ascription,  is  allowed
such  credit  and  deducts from the tax otherwise due the amount of such
credit, such credit shall be deemed in all respects to have been allowed
to such affiliate, provided that any action or inaction by the  taxpayer
which  constitutes  an  event of recapture described in paragraph (e) of
this subdivision shall be ascribed to the affiliate and shall constitute
an event of recapture with respect to the credit allowed to  the  affil-
iate pursuant to this subdivision.
  (ii)  Notwithstanding  any  other provision of law to the contrary, in
the case of the credit provided for under this subdivision being allowed
to, or asserted to be allowed to, an affiliate, pursuant to subparagraph

such other powers of investigation with respect to the taxpayer, as  are
afforded  under  this  chapter  with  respect  to  a  taxpayer which has
deducted the credit allowed under this section from tax  otherwise  due,
as  if  it  were  the  taxpayer  which had deducted such credit from tax
otherwise due.

BENEFITS WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROJECT UNLESS AND UNTIL THE  PREREQUISITES
SET  FORTH  IN  PARAGRAPHS (B), (C), (D) AND (E) OF THIS SUBDIVISION ARE
MET.
  (B) EITHER (I) THE AGENT OR PROJECT OPERATOR OF SUCH PROJECT MUST HAVE
BEEN CERTIFIED AS A PARTICIPANT IN THE EXCELSIOR JOBS PROGRAM,  AS  SUCH

PROPOSED STATE SALES AND USE TAX EXEMPTION BENEFIT PLAN FOR SUCH PROJECT
AND DETERMINE, IN CONSULTATION WITH THE  REGIONAL  ECONOMIC  DEVELOPMENT
COUNCIL  ESTABLISHED  BY  THE GOVERNOR THAT ENCOMPASSES THE JURISDICTION

TYPES OF PROPERTY OR SERVICES, OR FOR A SHORTER PERIOD, THAN AS APPROVED
BY SUCH COMMISSIONER.

STATE SALES AND USE TAX EXEMPTION BENEFIT  PLAN  THERE  IS  NO  REGIONAL
ECONOMIC  DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL IN THE APPLICABLE REGION, THEN THE COMMIS-

INGS AS PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH (D) OF THIS SUBDIVISION, WITHOUT REGARD TO
THE RECOMMENDATION OF ANY OTHER BODY.

BUT OBTAINED A REFUND OR CREDIT OF THEM, AS A RESULT SHALL  BE  REQUIRED
TO PAY SUCH AMOUNT OF TAX TO THE COMMISSIONER OF TAXATION AND FINANCE IN

COLLECT PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES UNDERTAKEN BY THE  DEPARTMENT  PURSUANT

racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, as amended by  section  1
of  part  O  of  chapter  59  of the laws of 2012, is amended to read as

  (a) Any  racing  association  or  corporation  or  regional  off-track
betting  corporation,  authorized  to conduct pari-mutuel wagering under
this chapter, desiring to display the simulcast of horse races on  which
pari-mutuel  betting shall be permitted in the manner and subject to the
conditions provided for in this article may apply to  the  board  for  a
license so to do. Applications for licenses shall be in such form as may
be  prescribed  by the board and shall contain such information or other

payable by the licensee to the board for deposit into the general  fund.
Except  as  provided herein, the board shall not approve any application
to conduct simulcasting into individual or group  residences,  homes  or
other areas for the purposes of or in connection with pari-mutuel wager-
ing.  The board may approve simulcasting into residences, homes or other

boundaries such residences, homes or other areas technically capable  of
receiving  the  simulcast signal shall be a contracting party; (iii) the

the  parties  except that statutory payments to non-contracting parties,
if any, may not be reduced; provided, however, that  nothing  herein  to
the  contrary  shall  prevent  a  track  from televising its races on an
irregular basis primarily for promotional or marketing purposes as found
by the board. For purposes of this paragraph, the provisions of  section

S. 2609                            89                            A. 3009

one  thousand  thirteen  of  this article shall not apply. Any agreement
authorizing an in-home simulcasting experiment commencing prior  to  May

er,  that any party to such agreement may elect to terminate such agree-
ment upon conveying written notice to all other parties of  such  agree-
ment  at  least  forty-five  days  prior  to  the  effective date of the
termination, via registered mail. Any party to  an  agreement  receiving
such  notice of an intent to terminate, may request the board to mediate

simulcasting in the thoroughbred special betting  district  shall  occur

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

corporation shall be one-half of one per centum of total daily  on-track
pari-mutuel  pools  resulting from regular, multiple and exotic bets and

compensation  and  commissions within New York shall be read as denoting

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

such taxable years or any part of such taxable years ending on or  after
December  thirty-first, nineteen hundred eighty-three and before January

two-a,  and fifteen hundred ten of this article, as limited or otherwise
determined by subdivision (a) or (b) of section fifteen hundred five  of
this  article,  as allocated to such district, for such taxable years or

under this article; provided, however, that the tax surcharge imposed by

[three]  FOUR hundred [seventy-two] THIRTY-TWO months. Provided however,
that for taxable years commencing on or after July first, two  thousand,
and  in  the  case  of  taxpayers  subject  to tax under section fifteen
hundred two-a of this article,  for  taxable  years  of  such  taxpayers
beginning on or after July first, two thousand and before January first,
two  thousand  three,  such  surcharge shall be calculated as if (i) the

  (ii) the royalty payments are paid or incurred  to  a  related  member
organized  under the laws of a country other than the United States, are
subject to a comprehensive income tax treaty between  such  country  and
the  United States, and are taxed in such country at a tax rate at least
equal to that imposed by this state.
  (3) Royalty income exclusions. (A) For the purpose of  computing  city
adjusted  gross  income,  a  taxpayer shall be allowed to deduct royalty
payments directly or indirectly received from a  related  member  during
the  taxable year to the extent included in the taxpayer's federal taxa-
ble income unless such royalty payments would  not  be  required  to  be

a taxpayer with respect to a taxable year,  the  action  taken  by  such
taxpayer which resulted in such credit being allowed thereto may, at the

such credit and deducts from the tax otherwise due the  amount  of  such
credit, such credit shall be deemed in all respects to have been allowed
to  such affiliate, provided that any action or inaction by the taxpayer
which constitutes an event of recapture described in  paragraph  (e)  of

respect to examining the books and records of  the  taxpayer,  and  have
such  other powers of investigation with respect to the taxpayer, as are
afforded under this  chapter  with  respect  to  a  taxpayer  which  has
deducted  the  credit allowed under this section from tax otherwise due,
as if it were the taxpayer which  had  deducted  such  credit  from  tax
otherwise due.

the capital stock of which is owned or  controlled  either  directly  or
indirectly by the taxpayer, or which owns or controls either directly or
indirectly  substantially  all  the  capital  stock  of the taxpayer, or
substantially all the capital stock of  which  is  owned  or  controlled
either  directly  or indirectly by interests which own or control either
directly or indirectly  substantially  all  the  capital  stock  of  the

pari-mutuel betting shall be permitted in the manner and subject to  the
conditions  provided  for  in  this article may apply to the board for a
license so to do. Applications for licenses shall be in such form as may

the  contrary  shall  prevent  a  track  from televising its races on an
irregular basis primarily for promotional or marketing purposes as found
by the board. For purposes of this paragraph, the provisions of  section
one  thousand  thirteen  of  this article shall not apply. Any agreement
authorizing an in-home simulcasting experiment commencing prior  to  May
fifteenth,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-five,  may,  and all its terms, be
extended [until June thirtieth, two thousand thirteen]; provided, howev-
er, that any party to such agreement may elect to terminate such  agree-

mined by comparing the total commissions available  after  July  twenty-
first,  nineteen hundred ninety-five to the total commissions that would
have been available to such track prior to July  twenty-first,  nineteen

ninth, nineteen hundred ninety-nine, such tax on regular wagers shall be

thousand dollars for taxable years beginning on or after January  first,
two thousand ten and before January first, two thousand [fifteen] TWENTY
and twenty-five thousand dollars for taxable years beginning on or after

amount of credit  allowable  under  this  subsection  shall  exceed  the
taxpayer's tax for such year, and the taxpayer's New York adjusted gross
income  for such year does not exceed sixty thousand dollars, the excess
shall be treated as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded  in
accordance with the provisions of section six hundred eighty-six of this
article,  provided,  however, that no interest shall be paid thereon. If
the taxpayer's New York adjusted gross  income  for  such  year  exceeds
sixty  thousand  dollars,  the excess credit that may be carried over to
the following year or years and may be deducted from the taxpayer's  tax

for  such year or years. For taxable years beginning on or after January
first, two thousand [fifteen] TWENTY, if the amount of credit  allowable

excess  may  be  carried  over to the following year or years and may be
deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or years.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
  S 2. Severability clause. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivi-

or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judg-
ment shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of
the legislature that this act would  have  been  enacted  even  if  such

compensation and commissions shall be read as denoting within the state.
If it shall appear to the commissioner that the application of the meth-
odology,  procedures and computations set forth in such subdivisions (a)
and (b) does not properly reflect the activity, business or income of  a
taxpayer  within the metropolitan commuter transportation district, then
the commissioner shall be authorized, in the commissioner's  discretion,
to  adjust such methodology, procedures and computations for the purpose
of allocating such taxes by:
  (A) excluding one or more factors therein;
  (B) including one or more other factors  therein,  such  as  expenses,
purchases,  receipts  other  than  premiums,  real  property or tangible
personal property; or
  (C) any other similar or different method which allocates  such  taxes
by  attributing a fair and proper portion of such taxes to the metropol-
itan commuter transportation district. The  commissioner  from  time  to
time  shall  publish all rulings of general public interest with respect

allowable  under  this  article, and at the rate of seventeen percent of
the taxes imposed under sections fifteen hundred  one,  fifteen  hundred
two-a,  and fifteen hundred ten of this article, as limited or otherwise
determined by subdivision (a) or (b) of section fifteen hundred five  of
this  article,  as allocated to such district, for such taxable years or

  (ii) the royalty payments are paid or incurred  to  a  related  member
organized  under the laws of a country other than the United States, are

income or other taxable basis, a taxpayer shall  be  allowed  to  deduct
royalty  payments  directly or indirectly received from a related member

corporations  or  entities,  directly  or  indirectly owns or controls a
controlling interest in another entity.  Such  entity  or  entities  may

organized under the laws of a country other than the United States,  are
subject  to  a  comprehensive income tax treaty between such country and
the United States, and are taxed in such country at a tax rate at  least
equal to that imposed by this state.
