Introduced by M. of A. RUSSELL -- read once and referred to the Commit-
tee on Ways and Means
AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to the personal income real
property tax credit for manufacturers
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Clause (ii) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph 2 of
subsection (xx) of section 606 of the tax law, as added by section 4 of
part R of chapter 59 of the laws of 2014, is amended to read as follows:
(ii) In addition, the term real property tax includes taxes paid by
the taxpayer upon real property principally used during the taxable year
by the taxpayer in manufacturing where the taxpayer leases such real
property from an unrelated third party if the following conditions are
satisfied: (I) the tax must be paid by the taxpayer as lessee pursuant
to explicit requirements in a written lease, and (II) the taxpayer as
lessee has paid such taxes directly to the taxing authority and has
received a written receipt for payment of taxes from the taxing authori-
ty. In the case of a combined group that constitutes a qualified New
York manufacturer, the conditions in the preceding sentence are satis-
fied if one corporation in the combined group is the lessee and another
corporation in the combined group makes the payments to the taxing
authority. IN THE CASE OF A TAXPAYER WHO DURING THE TAXABLE YEAR IS
PRINCIPALLY ENGAGED IN THE PRODUCTION OF GOODS BY FARMING, AGRICULTURE,
HORTICULTURE, FLORICULTURE, VITICULTURE OR COMMERCIAL FISHING, THE LEASE
OF LAND FROM A RELATED PARTY SHALL NOT PRECLUDE ELIGIBILITY FOR THE REAL
PROPERTY TAX CREDIT FOR MANUFACTURERS.
S 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to tax
years commencing on or after January 1, 2015.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
