deductions, the taxpayer may make a revocable election to reduce its
total exempt CFC income by forty percent. If the taxpayer makes this
election, the taxpayer must also make the elections provided for in

this subdivision. If the taxpayer subsequently revokes this election,

(iii) of this paragraph shall not constitute exempt unitary corporation
dividends.

§ 4. Paragraph 2 of subsection (kkk) of section 606 of the tax law, as
added by section 2 of part C of chapter 59 of the laws of 2021, is
amended to read as follows:
(2) The credit shall be equal to SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF the part-
ner's, member's or shareholder's direct share of the pass-through entity

§ 5. The tax law is amended by adding a new section 608 to read as
follows:
§ 608. ADDITIONAL TAX. (A) THERE IS IMPOSED AN ADDITIONAL TAX UPON THE
AMOUNT OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S NEW YORK TAXABLE INCOME THAT CORRESPONDS TO
ANY DEDUCTION TAKEN PURSUANT TO SECTION 199A OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE
CODE, OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THERETO. THIS SECTION SHALL NOT APPLY
TO A TAXPAYER WITH A FEDERAL TAXABLE INCOME BELOW THE THRESHOLD AMOUNT,
AS DEFINED IN SECTION 199A(E) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, PLUS FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A SINGLE FILER TAXPAYER OR ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS IN THE CASE OF A JOINT RETURN.
(B) THE RATE OF THE ADDITIONAL TAX IMPOSED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION
SHALL BE EQUAL TO THE HIGHEST FEDERAL INCOME TAX RATES IN EFFECT FOR THE
TAXABLE YEAR THAT WOULD APPLY TO THE AMOUNT DEDUCTED UNDER SECTION 199A
OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THERETO, BUT
FOR THE APPLICATION OF SUCH SECTION. THE AMOUNT OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S NEW
YORK TAXABLE INCOME THAT CORRESPONDS TO THE AMOUNT OF ANY DEDUCTION
TAKEN PURSUANT TO SECTION 199A IS THE AMOUNT THAT BEARS THE SAME
RELATIONSHIP TO THE TAXPAYER'S TOTAL NEW YORK TAXABLE INCOME AS THE
AMOUNT DEDUCTED UNDER SECTION 199A BEARS TO THE TAXPAYER'S TOTAL FEDERAL
TAXABLE INCOME AS DETERMINED WITHOUT REGARD TO SUCH DEDUCTION.
(C) THE ADDITIONAL TAX UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL BE ADMINISTERED, AND
PENALTIES SHALL BE IMPOSED, IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE OTHER TAXES
IMPOSED BY THIS ARTICLE.
§ 6. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to taxable
years commencing on and after such effective date.
