 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 amends article 9-A of the tax law to increase the threshold
for which corporations are considered small corporations from $290,000
to $400,000 while reducing the tax rate for small corporations from
6.5% to 2.5%. The transition threshold from the small business rate to
the full corporate rate will increase from $390,000 to $500,000. The
phase down of rates will occur over two years: to 4% in 2018 and to 2%

This bill increases the exemption, expands on the taxpayers eligible
for the exemption, provides a rate cut for small businesses filing

businesses and family farms remain an integral part of the State's
economy for generations to come.

SFY 2019: $302 million. When fully effective, the annual tax savings
to small businesses will be $484 million.
