     3    49. Small business capital tax credit. (a) A taxpayer shall be allowed
     4  a  credit,  to  be computed as provided in this subdivision, against the
     5  tax imposed by this article. Such credit shall be granted to any taxpay-
     6  er which is a small business when the small business  is  located  in  a
     7  village or in a city with a population of less than thirty-five thousand
     8  as determined by the most recent federal decennial census. The amount of
     9  the credit shall be equal to twenty-five percent of the sum of qualified
    10  investments in such small business, as determined by the commissioner.
    11    (b)  For  the  purposes of this subdivision, the term "small business"
    12  means a business which employs less than fifteen employees.
    13    (c) The credit and carryovers of such credit allowed under this subdi-
    14  vision for any taxable year shall not, in the aggregate, reduce the  tax
    15  due  for  such year to less than the higher of the amounts prescribed in
    16  paragraph (d) of subdivision one of section  two  hundred  ten  of  this
    17  article.  However, if the amount of credit or carryovers of such credit,
    18  or both, allowed under this subdivision for any taxable year reduces the
    19  tax to such amount, any amount of credit or carryovers  of  such  credit
    20  thus  not  deductible  in  such  taxable year may be carried over to the
    21  following year or years and may be deducted from the tax for  such  year
    22  or years.
