40 expenditures which, when made, were charged to a deferred debit account
41 or similar asset account on the books and records of the taxpayer, and

48 where transition property is sold or otherwise disposed of in the taxa-
49 ble year in a transaction of the type requiring recognition of gain or

7 erty determined under subparagraph four of this paragraph.
8 (iii) No conversion of gain to loss. In the event that the basis

11 shall be recognized under this article with respect to such sale or
12 disposition.
13 (B) Nonrecognition transactions. (i) Carryover basis. (I) where tran-

21 article shall be adjusted as provided in subclause (ii) or (iii) of this
22 clause.
23 (ii) General rule - book basis adjustment. Except as provided in
24 subclause (iii) of this clause, the amount of clause B gain shall be

26 which the book basis of the underlying transition property on the date
27 of original disposition (determined using the provisions of subclause
28 (i) of clause (A) of this subparagraph) exceeds the federal income tax
29 basis of such property on such date.
30 (iii) Qualified gain - New York basis adjustment. Where clause B gain
31 either (I) occurs in a taxable year ending after nineteen hundred nine-
32 ty-nine and before two thousand ten, or (II) is with respect to a nucle-
33 ar electric generating facility, the amount of such gain under this
34 article shall be reduced, but not below zero, by the amount by which the
35 New York basis of the underlying transition property on the date of
36 original disposition (determined using the provisions of subclause (ii)
37 of clause (A) of this subparagraph) exceeds the federal income tax basis
38 of such property on such date.
39 (iv) Application to replacement property and transferee taxpayers.
40 This clause shall apply whether the clause B gain or loss: (I) is with
41 respect to either transition property or depreciable property the basis
42 of which is determined by reference to transition property, or (II) is
43 recognized by either a qualified public utility or by a taxpayer which
44 is a transferee of transition property (whether or not such transferee
45 is a qualified public utility, notwithstanding subparagraph one of this
46 paragraph).

55 presumably the same as the net operating loss deduction allowed under
56 section one hundred seventy-two of the internal revenue code, or which
S. 6359--D 21 A. 8559--D

5 shall be adjusted to reflect the inclusions and exclusions from entire
6 net income required by paragraphs (a), (b) and (g) hereof,

12 allowed under section one hundred seventy-two of the internal revenue
13 code, or the deduction for the taxable year which would have been

25 seventy-two of the internal revenue code shall for purposes of this
26 paragraph be determined as if the taxpayer had elected under such
27 section to relinquish the entire carryback period with respect to net

46 and
47 (C) on condition that entire net income for the taxable year and all
48 succeeding taxable years be computed without any deductions for such
49 expenditures or for depreciation or amortization of the same property
50 other than the deductions allowed by this paragraph (g), except to the
51 extent that the basis of the property may be attributable to factors

2 year and all succeeding taxable years, and
3 (D) where the election provided for in paragraph (d) of subdivision

5 in respect to the same property.
6 (3) (A) If expenditures in respect to an industrial waste treatment
7 facility, an air pollution control facility, an industrial waste treat-
8 ment controlled process facility or an air pollution controlled process
9 facility have been deducted as provided herein and if within ten years
10 from the end of the taxable year in which such deduction was allowed
11 such property or any part thereof is used for the primary purpose of
12 salvaging materials which are usable in the manufacturing process or are
13 marketable, the taxpayer shall report such change of use in its report
14 for the first taxable year during which it occurs, and the tax commis-
15 sion may recompute the tax for the year or years for which such
16 deduction was allowed and any carryback or carryover year, and may
17 assess any additional tax resulting from such recomputation within the
18 time fixed by paragraph nine of subsection (c) of section ten hundred
19 eighty-three of this chapter.
20 (B) If a deduction is allowed as herein provided for expenditures paid
21 or incurred during any taxable year on the basis of a temporary certif-
22 icate of compliance issued pursuant to the environmental conservation
23 law and if the taxpayer fails to obtain a permanent certificate of
24 compliance upon completion of the facilities with respect to which such
25 temporary certificate was issued, the taxpayer shall report such failure
26 in its report for the taxable year during which such facilities are
27 completed, and the tax commission may recompute the tax for the year or
28 years for which such deduction was allowed and any carryback or carry-
29 over year, and may assess any additional tax resulting from in such
30 recomputation within the time fixed by paragraph nine of subsection (c)
31 of section ten hundred eighty-three.
32 (C) If a deduction is allowed as herein provided for expenditures paid
33 or incurred during any taxable year in respect to an air pollution
34 control facility on the basis of a certificate of compliance issued
35 pursuant to the environmental conservation law and the certificate is
36 revoked pursuant to subdivision three of section 19-0309 of the environ-
37 mental conservation law, the tax commission may recompute the tax for
38 the year or years for which the facility is not or was not in compliance
39 with the applicable provisions of the environmental conservation law,
40 the state sanitary code or codes, rules, regulations, permits or orders
41 promulgated pursuant thereto, and for which a deduction was allowed, as
42 well as for any carryback or carryover year to which such deduction was
43 carried, and may assess any additional tax resulting from such recompu-
44 tation within the time fixed by paragraph nine of subsection (c) of
45 section ten hundred eighty-three.
46 (4) In any taxable year when property is sold or otherwise disposed
47 of, with respect to which a deduction has been allowed pursuant to this
48 paragraph, such deduction shall be disregarded in computing gain or
49 loss, and the gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of such
50 property shall be the gain or loss entering into the computation of
51 entire taxable income which the taxpayer is required to report to the
52 United States treasury department for such taxable year.]
53 (h) If the period covered by a report under this article is other than
54 the period covered by the report to the United States treasury depart-
55 ment,
S. 6359--D 24 A. 8559--D
1 (1) except as provided in subparagraph two hereof, entire net income
2 shall be determined by multiplying the taxable income reported to such
3 department (as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this article) by
4 the number of calendar months or major parts thereof covered by the
5 report under this article and dividing by the number of calendar months
6 or major parts thereof covered by the report to such department. If it
7 shall appear that such method of determining entire net income does not
8 properly reflect the taxpayer's income during the period covered by the
9 report under this article, the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER shall be
10 authorized in its discretion to determine such entire net income solely

12 report under this article[;].
13 (2) [in] IN the case of a New York S termination year, an equal
14 portion of entire net income shall be assigned to each day of such year.
15 The portion of such entire net income thereby assigned to the S short
16 year and the C short year shall be included in the respective reports
17 for the S short year and the C short year under this article. However,
18 where paragraph three of subsection (s) of section six hundred twelve of
19 this chapter applies, the portion of such entire net income assigned to
20 the S short year and the C short year shall be determined under normal
21 tax accounting rules.
22 (i) With respect to a DISC which during any taxable year or reporting
23 year (1) received more than five percent of its gross sales from the
24 sale of inventory or other property which it purchased from its stock-
25 holders, (2) received more than five percent of its gross rentals from
26 the rental of property which it purchased or rented from its stockhold-
27 ers or (3) received more than five percent of its total receipts other

34 hundred eleven of this article, any taxpayer required to compute a tax
35 under this article, which during the taxable year being reported was a
36 stockholder in any DISC meeting the test prescribed in this paragraph,
37 shall for any taxable year ending after December thirty-first, nineteen
38 hundred seventy-one adjust each item of its receipts, expenses, assets
39 and liabilities, as otherwise computed under this article, by adding
40 thereto its attributable share of each such DISC's receipts, expenses,
41 assets and liabilities as reportable by each such DISC to the United
42 States Treasury Department for its annual reporting period ending during
43 the current taxable year of such taxpayer; provided, however, (1) that
44 all transactions between the taxpayer and each such DISC shall be elimi-
45 nated from the taxpayer's adjusted receipts, expenses, assets and
46 liabilities; (2) that the taxpayer's entire net income as otherwise
47 computed under this section, shall be reduced by subtracting the amount
48 of the deemed distribution of current income, if any, from each such
49 DISC already included in the entire net income of such taxpayer by
50 virtue of having been included in its entire taxable income for that
51 taxable year as reported to the United States Treasury Department; and
52 (3) that in the event this paragraph should be rendered invalid, all
53 DISC's and their stockholders taxable hereunder shall be taxed instead

9 shall be allowed with respect to property which is subject to the
10 provisions of section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue
11 code the depreciation deduction allowable under section one hundred
12 sixty-seven of the internal revenue code as such section would have
13 applied to property placed in service on December thirty-first, nineteen

34 qualified emerging technologies investment purchased by the taxpayer
35 during the three hundred sixty-five-day period beginning on the date of
36 such sale, reduced by any portion of such cost previously taken into
37 account under this paragraph. For purposes of this paragraph the follow-
38 ing shall apply:

40 other than as a creditor, in a partnership or limited liability company
41 that was acquired by the taxpayer as provided in Internal Revenue Code S

54 investment that is sold, the taxpayer's holding period for such invest-
55 ment and the qualified emerging technologies investment that is
S. 6359--D 27 A. 8559--D
1 purchased shall be determined without regard to Internal Revenue Code S
2 1223.

8 (1) Any tax paid under this article allocable to receipts attributable
9 to a "qualified gas transportation contract" shall be deemed to have
10 been paid under article nine of this chapter for all purposes of law for
11 taxable years commencing on or after January first, two thousand,
12 computed as hereinafter provided, if all of the following conditions are
13 met:
14 (i) For periods ending prior to January first, two thousand, the
15 taxpayer paid the franchise tax due under section one hundred eighty-
16 four of this chapter.
17 (ii) For the taxable year, all of the receipts from the pipeline
18 transportation of natural gas attributable to the taxpayer and included
19 in the taxpayer's entire net income (without regard to this paragraph)
20 are solely from the transportation of natural gas for wholesale custom-
21 ers and commercial retail customers.
22 (iii) The taxpayer's franchise tax liability under this article for
23 the taxable year (computed without regard to this paragraph) is deter-
24 mined under paragraph (a) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten
25 of this article, and such tax liability (without regard to this para-
26 graph) is greater than the liability the taxpayer would have incurred
27 under sections one hundred eighty-three and one hundred eighty-four of
28 this chapter (as such sections existed on December thirty-first, nine-
29 teen hundred ninety-nine) based on the same taxable period.
30 (iv) The taxpayer is a party to a "qualified gas transportation
31 contract," as defined herein.
32 (2) The provisions of this paragraph shall apply only for the taxable
33 years during which such qualified gas transportation contract is in full
34 force and effect, and shall apply only to the receipts of the taxpayer
35 less any expenses of the taxpayer (but not less than zero), during the
36 taxable year, to the extent included in entire net income, which are
37 attributable to any such qualified gas transportation contracts.
38 Provided, further, in any event, the characterization hereunder shall
39 expire and be of no further force and effect for taxable years commenc-
40 ing on or after January first, two thousand fifteen.
41 (3) The term "qualified gas transportation contract" shall mean a
42 service agreement for the transportation of natural gas for an end-user
43 which is a qualified cogeneration facility with a rated capacity of one
44 thousand megawatts or more, which (i) was entered into before January
45 first, two thousand, and was in full force and effect and binding on the
46 parties thereto as of such date, (ii) as originally executed, was for a
47 term of at least twenty years, and (iii) the terms of which prohibit the
48 pass-through to such customer of the franchise tax imposed under this
49 article, while allowing the recovery of the gross earnings tax imposed
50 under section one hundred eighty-four of this chapter. A contract shall
51 not qualify as a qualified gas transportation contract if there is: (i)
52 any renewal or extension of an otherwise qualified gas transportation
53 contract occurring on or after January first, two thousand, or (ii) any
54 material amendment to, or supplementation of, an otherwise qualified gas
55 transportation contract on or after such date. Such renewal, extension,
56 or material amendment or supplementation shall have the same force and
S. 6359--D 28 A. 8559--D
1 effect of terminating the characterization hereunder as if the qualify-
2 ing contract had expired by its own terms.
3 (o)] (N-1) For taxable years beginning after December thirty-first,
4 two thousand two, in the case of qualified property described in para-
5 graph two of subsection k of section 168 of the internal revenue code,
6 other than qualified resurgence zone property described in paragraph (q)
7 of this subdivision, and other than qualified New York Liberty Zone
8 property described in paragraph two of subsection b of section 1400L of
9 the internal revenue code (without regard to clause (i) of subparagraph
10 (C) of such paragraph), which was placed in service on or after June
11 first, two thousand three, a taxpayer shall be allowed with respect to
12 such property the depreciation deduction allowable under section 167 of
13 the internal revenue code as such section would have applied to such
14 property had it been acquired by the taxpayer on September tenth, two
15 thousand one.
16 (o) Related members expense add back. (1) Definitions. (A) Related
17 member. "Related member" means a related person as defined in subpara-
18 graph (c) of paragraph three of subsection (b) of section four hundred
19 sixty-five of the internal revenue code, except that "fifty percent"
20 shall be substituted for "ten percent".
21 (B) Effective rate of tax. "Effective rate of tax" means, as to any
22 state or U.S. possession, the maximum statutory rate of tax imposed by
23 the state or possession on or measured by a related member's net income
24 multiplied by the apportionment percentage, if any, applicable to the
25 related member under the laws of said jurisdiction. For purposes of this
26 definition, the effective rate of tax as to any state or U.S. possession
27 is zero where the related member's net income tax liability in said
28 jurisdiction is reported on a combined or consolidated return including
29 both the taxpayer and the related member where the reported transactions
30 between the taxpayer and the related member are eliminated or offset.
31 Also, for purposes of this definition, when computing the effective rate
32 of tax for a jurisdiction in which a related member's net income is
33 eliminated or offset by a credit or similar adjustment that is dependent
34 upon the related member either maintaining or managing intangible prop-
35 erty or collecting interest income in that jurisdiction, the maximum
36 statutory rate of tax imposed by said jurisdiction shall be decreased to
37 reflect the statutory rate of tax that applies to the related member as
38 effectively reduced by such credit or similar adjustment.
39 (C) Royalty payments. Royalty payments are payments directly connected
40 to the acquisition, use, maintenance or management, ownership, sale,
41 exchange, or any other disposition of licenses, trademarks, copyrights,
42 trade names, trade dress, service marks, mask works, trade secrets,
43 patents and any other similar types of intangible assets as determined
44 by the commissioner, and include amounts allowable as interest
45 deductions under section one hundred sixty-three of the internal revenue
46 code to the extent such amounts are directly or indirectly for, related
47 to or in connection with the acquisition, use, maintenance or manage-
48 ment, ownership, sale, exchange or disposition of such intangible
49 assets.
50 (D) Valid Business Purpose. A valid business purpose is one or more
51 business purposes, other than the avoidance or reduction of taxation,
52 which alone or in combination constitute the primary motivation for some
53 business activity or transaction, which activity or transaction changes
54 in a meaningful way, apart from tax effects, the economic position of
55 the taxpayer. The economic position of the taxpayer includes an increase
S. 6359--D 29 A. 8559--D
1 in the market share of the taxpayer, or the entry by the taxpayer into
2 new business markets.
3 (2) Royalty expense add backs. (A) Except where a taxpayer is included
4 in a combined report with a related member pursuant to [subdivision four
5 of] section two hundred [eleven] TEN-C of this article, for the purpose
6 of computing entire net income or other applicable taxable basis, a
7 taxpayer must add back royalty payments directly or indirectly paid,
8 accrued, or incurred in connection with one or more direct or indirect
9 transactions with one or more related members during the taxable year to
10 the extent deductible in calculating federal taxable income.
11 (B) Exceptions. (i) The adjustment required in this paragraph shall
12 not apply to the portion of the royalty payment that the taxpayer estab-
13 lishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the type and in the form
14 specified by the commissioner, meets all of the following requirements:
15 (I) the related member was subject to tax in this state or another state
16 or possession of the United States or a foreign nation or some combina-
17 tion thereof on a tax base that included the royalty payment paid,
18 accrued or incurred by the taxpayer; (II) the related member during the
19 same taxable year directly or indirectly paid, accrued or incurred such
20 portion to a person that is not a related member; and (III) the trans-
21 action giving rise to the royalty payment between the taxpayer and the
22 related member was undertaken for a valid business purpose.
23 (ii) The adjustment required in this paragraph shall not apply if the
24 taxpayer establishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the type and
25 in the form specified by the commissioner, that: (I) the related member
26 was subject to tax on or measured by its net income in this state or
27 another state or possession of the United States or some combination
28 thereof; (II) the tax base for said tax included the royalty payment
29 paid, accrued or incurred by the taxpayer; and (III) the aggregate
30 effective rate of tax applied to the related member in those jurisdic-
31 tions is no less than eighty percent of the statutory rate of tax that
32 applied to the taxpayer under section two hundred ten of this article
33 for the taxable year.
34 (iii) The adjustment required in this paragraph shall not apply if the
35 taxpayer establishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the type and
36 in the form specified by the commissioner, that: (I) the royalty payment
37 was paid, accrued or incurred to a related member organized under the
38 laws of a country other than the United States; (II) the related
39 member's income from the transaction was subject to a comprehensive
40 income tax treaty between such country and the United States; (III) the
41 related member was subject to tax in a foreign nation on a tax base that
42 included the royalty payment paid, accrued or incurred by the taxpayer;
43 (IV) the related member's income from the transaction was taxed in such
44 country at an effective rate of tax at least equal to that imposed by
45 this state; and (V) the royalty payment was paid, accrued or incurred
46 pursuant to a transaction that was undertaken for a valid business
47 purpose and using terms that reflect an arm's length relationship.
48 (iv) The adjustment required in this paragraph shall not apply if the
49 taxpayer and the commissioner agree in writing to the application or use
50 of alternative adjustments or computations. The commissioner may, in his
51 or her discretion, agree to the application or use of alternative
52 adjustments or computations when he or she concludes that in the absence
53 of such agreement the income of the taxpayer would not be properly
54 reflected.
55 (p) For taxable years beginning after December thirty-first, two thou-
56 sand two, upon the disposition of property to which paragraph [(o)]
S. 6359--D 30 A. 8559--D
1 (N-1) of this subdivision applies, the amount of any gain or loss inclu-
2 dible in entire net income shall be adjusted to reflect the inclusions
3 and exclusions from entire net income pursuant to subparagraph seventeen
4 of paragraph (a) and subparagraph seventeen of paragraph (b) of this
5 subdivision attributable to such property.

11 business by the taxpayer in such zone, and the original use of which in
12 the resurgence zone commences with the taxpayer after December thirty-
13 first, two thousand two. The resurgence zone shall mean the area of New
14 York county bounded on the south by a line running from the intersection
15 of the Hudson River with the Holland Tunnel, and running thence east to

20 to the point where the centerline of the Manhattan Bridge would inter-
21 sect with the easterly bank of the East River, and bounded on the north
22 by a line running from the intersection of the Hudson River with the
23 Holland Tunnel and running thence north along West Avenue to the inter-
24 section of Clarkson Street then running east along the centerline of

22 subparagraph (vi) of this paragraph, the amount prescribed by this para-
23 graph shall be computed pursuant to subparagraph (vi) of this paragraph.

S. 6359--D 48 A. 8559--D
1 ture, viticulture or commercial fishing. However, the generation and
2 distribution of electricity, the distribution of natural gas, and the
3 production of steam associated with the generation of electricity shall
4 not be qualifying activities for a manufacturer under this subparagraph.
5 Moreover, the combined group shall be considered a "manufacturer" for
6 purposes of this subparagraph only if the combined group during the
7 taxable year is principally engaged in the activities set forth in this
8 paragraph, or any combination thereof. A taxpayer or a combined group
9 shall be "principally engaged" in activities described above if, during
10 the taxable year, more than fifty percent of the gross receipts of the
11 taxpayer or combined group, respectively, are derived from receipts from
12 the sale of goods produced by such activities. In computing a combined
13 group's gross receipts, intercorporate receipts shall be eliminated. A
14 "qualified New York manufacturer" is a manufacturer which has property
15 in New York which is described in [clause (A) of subparagraph (i) of
16 paragraph (b) of] subdivision [twelve of this section] ONE OF SECTION

18 such property for federal income tax purposes at the close of the taxa-
19 ble year is at least one million dollars or (II) all of its real and
20 personal property is located in New York. [In addition, a "qualified New
21 York manufacturer" means a taxpayer which is defined as a qualified
22 emerging technology company under paragraph (c) of subdivision one of
23 section thirty-one hundred two-e of the public authorities law regard-
24 less of the ten million dollar limitation expressed in subparagraph one
25 of such paragraph (c). The commissioner shall establish guidelines and
26 criteria that specify requirements by which a manufacturer may be clas-
27 sified as an eligible qualified New York manufacturer. Criteria may
28 include but not be limited to factors such as regional unemployment, the
29 economic impact that manufacturing has on the surrounding community,
30 population decline within the region and median income within the region
31 in which the manufacturer is located. In establishing these guidelines
32 and criteria, the commissioner shall endeavor that the total annual cost
33 of the lower rates shall not exceed twenty-five million dollars.] A
34 TAXPAYER OR, IN THE CASE OF A COMBINED REPORT, A COMBINED GROUP, THAT
35 DOES NOT SATISFY THE PRINCIPALLY ENGAGED TEST MAY BE A QUALIFIED NEW
36 YORK MANUFACTURER IF THE TAXPAYER OR THE COMBINED GROUP EMPLOYS DURING

19 WERE IN EFFECT ON DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN, THAT WAS
20 NOT DEDUCTIBLE IN PREVIOUS TAXABLE YEARS AND WAS ELIGIBLE FOR CARRYOVER
21 ON THE LAST DAY OF THE BASE YEAR SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS FOR

23 SUSTAINED BY THE TAXPAYER DURING THE BASE YEAR.
24 (III) "BASE YEAR BAP" MEANS THE TAXPAYER'S BUSINESS ALLOCATION
25 PERCENTAGE AS CALCULATED UNDER PARAGRAPH (A) OF SUBDIVISION THREE OF
26 THIS SECTION FOR THE BASE YEAR, OR THE TAXPAYER'S ALLOCATION PERCENTAGE

34 (2) THE PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION SHALL BE
35 CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS:
36 (I) THE TAXPAYER SHALL FIRST CALCULATE THE TAX VALUE OF ITS UNABSORBED
37 NET OPERATING LOSS FOR THE BASE YEAR. THE VALUE IS EQUAL TO THE PRODUCT
38 OF (I) THE AMOUNT OF THE TAXPAYER'S UNABSORBED NET OPERATING LOSS, (II)
39 THE TAXPAYER'S BASE YEAR BAP, AND (III) THE TAXPAYER'S BASE YEAR TAX

43 YORK MANUFACTURER, FIVE AND SEVEN-TENTHS PERCENT. THIS RESULT SHALL
44 EQUAL THE TAXPAYER'S PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION
45 POOL.
46 (III) THE TAXPAYER'S PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION
47 FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR SHALL EQUAL ONE-TENTH OF ITS NET OPERATING LOSS
48 CONVERSION SUBTRACTION POOL PLUS ANY AMOUNT OF UNUSED PRIOR NET OPERAT-
49 ING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION FROM PRECEDING TAXABLE YEARS. PROVIDED,
50 HOWEVER, THE PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION OF A SMALL
51 BUSINESS CORPORATION, AS DEFINED IN PARAGRAPH (F) OF THIS SUBDIVISION,
52 AS OF THE LAST DAY OF THE BASE YEAR, SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE
53 ONE-TENTH LIMITATION IN THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE.
54 (IV) IN LIEU OF THE SUBTRACTION DESCRIBED IN ITEM (III) OF THIS
55 SUBCLAUSE, IF THE TAXPAYER SO ELECTS, THE TAXPAYER'S PRIOR NET OPERATING

1 JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN AND BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOU-
2 SAND SEVENTEEN SHALL EQUAL IN EACH YEAR, NOT MORE THAN ONE-HALF OF ITS
3 NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION POOL. THE TAXPAYER SHALL MAKE
4 SUCH ELECTION ON ITS RETURN FOR THE TAX YEAR BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANU-
5 ARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN AND BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND
6 SIXTEEN BY THE DUE DATE FOR SUCH RETURN (DETERMINED WITH REGARD TO
7 EXTENSIONS).
8 (3) COMBINED GROUPS. (I) WHERE A TAXPAYER WAS PROPERLY INCLUDED OR

10 TO SECTION TWO HUNDRED ELEVEN OF THIS ARTICLE OR A COMBINED RETURN UNDER
11 SECTION FOURTEEN HUNDRED SIXTY-TWO OF THIS CHAPTER, AS SUCH SECTIONS
12 WERE IN EFFECT ON DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN, AND THE
13 MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP FOR THE BASE YEAR ARE THE SAME AS THE
14 MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR IMMEDIATELY SUCCEED-
15 ING THE BASE YEAR, THE COMBINED GROUP SHALL CALCULATE ITS PRIOR NET
16 OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION POOL USING THE COMBINED GROUP'S
17 TOTAL UNABSORBED NET OPERATING LOSS, BASE YEAR BAP, AND BASE YEAR TAX
18 RATE.
19 (II) IF A COMBINED GROUP INCLUDES ADDITIONAL MEMBERS IN THE TAXABLE
20 YEAR IMMEDIATELY SUCCEEDING THE BASE YEAR THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE
21 COMBINED GROUP DURING THE BASE YEAR, EACH BASE YEAR COMBINED GROUP AND
22 EACH TAXPAYER THAT FILED SEPARATELY IN THE BASE YEAR BUT IS INCLUDED IN
23 THE COMBINED GROUP IN THE TAXABLE YEAR SUCCEEDING THE BASE YEAR SHALL
24 CALCULATE ITS PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION POOL, AND
25 THE SUM OF THE POOLS SHALL BE THE COMBINED PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS
26 CONVERSION SUBTRACTION POOL OF THE COMBINED GROUP.
27 (III) IF A TAXPAYER WAS PROPERLY INCLUDED IN A COMBINED REPORT FOR THE
28 BASE YEAR AND FILES A SEPARATE REPORT IN A SUBSEQUENT TAXABLE YEAR, THEN
29 THE AMOUNT OF REMAINING PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION
30 ALLOWED TO THE TAXPAYER FILING SUCH SEPARATE REPORT SHALL BE PROPOR-
31 TIONATE TO THE AMOUNT THAT SUCH TAXPAYER CONTRIBUTED TO THE PRIOR NET
32 OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION POOL ON A COMBINED BASIS, AND THE
33 REMAINING PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION ALLOWED TO THE
34 REMAINING MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP SHALL BE REDUCED ACCORDINGLY.
35 (IV) IF A TAXPAYER FILED A SEPARATE REPORT FOR THE BASE YEAR AND IS
36 PROPERLY INCLUDED IN A COMBINED REPORT IN A SUBSEQUENT TAXABLE YEAR,
37 THEN THE PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION POOL OF THE
38 COMBINED GROUP SHALL BE INCREASED BY THE AMOUNT OF THE REMAINING NET
39 OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION ALLOWED TO THE TAXPAYER AT THE
40 TIME THE TAXPAYER IS PROPERLY INCLUDED IN THE COMBINED GROUP.
41 (4) THE PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION MAY BE USED TO
42 REDUCE THE TAXPAYER'S TAX ON ALLOCATED BUSINESS INCOME TO THE HIGHER OF
43 THE TAX ON THE CAPITAL BASE UNDER PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SUBDIVISION OR
44 THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM UNDER PARAGRAPH (D) OF THIS SUBDIVISION. ANY
45 AMOUNT OF UNUSED SUBTRACTION SHALL BE CARRIED FORWARD TO SUBSEQUENT TAX
46 YEAR OR YEARS UNTIL TAX YEARS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO
47 THOUSAND THIRTY-SIX. SUCH AMOUNT CARRIED FORWARD SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT
48 TO THE ONE-TENTH LIMITATION FOR THE SUBSEQUENT TAX YEAR OR YEARS. HOWEV-
49 ER, IF THE TAXPAYER ELECTS TO COMPUTE ITS PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS
50 CONVERSION SUBTRACTION PURSUANT TO ITEM (IV) OF SUBCLAUSE TWO OF THIS
51 CLAUSE, THE TAXPAYER SHALL NOT CARRY FORWARD ANY AMOUNT OF SUCH
52 SUBTRACTION BEYOND ITS TAX YEAR BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO
53 THOUSAND SIXTEEN AND BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN.
54 (IX) NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION. IN COMPUTING THE BUSINESS INCOME
55 BASE, A NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION SHALL BE ALLOWED. A NET OPERATING
56 LOSS DEDUCTION IS THE AMOUNT OF NET OPERATING LOSS OR LOSSES FROM ONE OR
S. 6359--D 51 A. 8559--D
1 MORE TAXABLE YEARS THAT ARE CARRIED FORWARD TO A PARTICULAR INCOME YEAR.
2 A NET OPERATING LOSS IS THE AMOUNT OF A BUSINESS LOSS INCURRED IN A
3 PARTICULAR TAX YEAR MULTIPLIED BY THE APPORTIONMENT FACTOR FOR THAT YEAR
4 AS DETERMINED UNDER SECTION TWO HUNDRED TEN-A OF THIS ARTICLE. THE MAXI-
5 MUM NET OPERATING DEDUCTION THAT IS ALLOWED IN A TAXABLE YEAR IS THE
6 AMOUNT THAT REDUCES THE TAXPAYER'S TAX ON ALLOCATED BUSINESS INCOME TO
7 THE HIGHER OF THE TAX ON THE CAPITAL BASE OR THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM.
8 SUCH DEDUCTION AND LOSS ARE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING:
9 (1) SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION IS NOT LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT
10 ALLOWED UNDER SECTION ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-TWO OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE
11 CODE OR THE AMOUNT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED IF THE TAXPAYER HAD NOT
12 MADE AN ELECTION UNDER SUBCHAPTER S OF CHAPTER ONE OF THE INTERNAL
13 REVENUE CODE.
14 (2) SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY NET OPER-
15 ATING LOSS INCURRED DURING ANY TAXABLE YEAR BEGINNING PRIOR TO JANUARY
16 FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN, OR DURING ANY TAXABLE YEAR IN WHICH THE
17 TAXPAYER WAS NOT SUBJECT TO THE TAX IMPOSED BY THIS ARTICLE.
18 (3) A TAXPAYER THAT FILES AS PART OF A FEDERAL CONSOLIDATED RETURN BUT
19 ON A SEPARATE BASIS FOR PURPOSES OF THIS ARTICLE MUST COMPUTE ITS
20 DEDUCTION AND LOSS AS IF IT WERE FILING ON A SEPARATE BASIS FOR FEDERAL
21 INCOME TAX PURPOSES.
22 (4) A NET OPERATING LOSS MAY BE CARRIED FORWARD TO EACH OF THE TWENTY
23 TAXABLE YEARS FOLLOWING THE TAXABLE YEAR OF THE LOSS. A NET OPERATING
24 LOSS MAY BE CARRIED BACK TO EACH OF THE THREE TAXABLE YEARS PRECEDING
25 THE TAXABLE YEAR OF THE LOSS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER NO LOSS CAN BE CARRIED
26 BACK TO A TAX YEAR PRIOR TO A TAX YEAR BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANUARY,
27 FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN. A TAXPAYER MUST APPLY BOTH OF THESE LIMITA-
28 TIONS IN COMPUTING SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION.
29 (5) SUCH NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY NET OPER-
30 ATING LOSS INCURRED DURING A NEW YORK S YEAR; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, A NEW
31 YORK S YEAR MUST BE TREATED AS A TAXABLE YEAR FOR PURPOSES OF DETERMIN-
32 ING THE NUMBER OF TAXABLE YEARS TO WHICH A NET OPERATING LOSS MAY BE
33 CARRIED FORWARD.
34 (6) WHERE THERE ARE TWO OR MORE ALLOCATED NET OPERATING LOSSES, OR
35 PORTIONS THEREOF, CARRIED FORWARD TO BE DEDUCTED IN ONE PARTICULAR TAX
36 YEAR FROM ALLOCATED BUSINESS INCOME, THE EARLIEST ALLOCATED LOSS
37 INCURRED MUST BE APPLIED FIRST.
38 (b) Capital base. (1) The [amount prescribed by this paragraph for
39 taxable years beginning before January first, two thousand eight shall
40 be computed at .178 percent for each dollar of the taxpayer's total
41 business and investment capital, or the portion thereof allocated within
42 the state as hereinafter provided. For taxable years beginning on or
43 after January first, two thousand eight, the] amount prescribed by this
44 paragraph shall be computed at .15 percent for each dollar of the
45 taxpayer's total business [and investment] capital, or the portion ther-
46 eof allocated within the state as hereinafter provided FOR TAXABLE YEARS
47 BEGINNING BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN. However, in the
48 case of a cooperative housing corporation as defined in the internal
49 revenue code, the applicable rate shall be .04 percent UNTIL TAXABLE
50 YEARS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWENTY. THE
51 RATE OF TAX FOR SUBSEQUENT TAX YEARS SHALL BE AS FOLLOWS: .125 PERCENT
52 FOR TAXABLE YEARS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND
53 SIXTEEN AND BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN; .100 PERCENT
54 FOR TAXABLE YEARS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND
55 SEVENTEEN AND BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN; .075 PERCENT

3 NINETEEN AND BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWENTY; .025 PERCENT FOR
4 TAXABLE YEARS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWENTY
5 AND BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-ONE; AND ZERO PERCENT FOR
6 YEARS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-ONE. THE
7 RATE OF TAX FOR A QUALIFIED NEW YORK MANUFACTURER FOR TAX YEARS SUBSE-
8 QUENT TO TAXABLE YEARS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND
9 FIFTEEN AND BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN SHALL BE .106
10 PERCENT FOR TAXABLE YEARS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOU-

14 PERCENT FOR TAXABLE YEARS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOU-
15 SAND EIGHTEEN AND BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN; .038
16 PERCENT FOR TAXABLE YEARS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOU-
17 SAND NINETEEN AND BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, THOUSAND TWENTY; .019 PERCENT
18 FOR TAXABLE YEARS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND
19 TWENTY AND BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-ONE; AND ZERO
20 PERCENT FOR YEARS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND
21 TWENTY-ONE. In no event shall the amount prescribed by this paragraph
22 exceed three hundred fifty thousand dollars for qualified New York
23 manufacturers and for all other taxpayers [ten] FIVE million dollars
24 [for taxable years beginning on or after January first, two thousand
25 eight but before January first, two thousand eleven and one million
26 dollars for taxable years beginning on or after January first, two thou-
27 sand eleven].

33 for purposes of computing the capital base in a combined report, the
34 combined group shall be considered a "manufacturer" for purposes of this
35 subparagraph only if the combined group during the taxable year is prin-
36 cipally engaged in the activities set forth in this subparagraph, or any
37 combination thereof. A taxpayer or a combined group shall be "principal-

39 more than fifty percent of the gross receipts of the taxpayer or
40 combined group, respectively, are derived from receipts from the sale of
41 goods produced by such activities. In computing a combined group's gross
42 receipts, intercorporate receipts shall be eliminated. A "qualified New
43 York manufacturer" is a manufacturer that has property in New York that

24 in nineteen hundred eighty-nine, the amount prescribed by this paragraph
25 shall be computed at the rate of five percent of the taxpayer's pre-

4 (d) Fixed dollar minimum. (1) The [amount prescribed by this paragraph
5 shall be for a taxpayer which during the taxable year has:
6 (A) a gross payroll of six million two hundred fifty thousand dollars
7 or more, one thousand five hundred dollars;

41 the taxable year is less than twelve months, the amount of each shall be
42 determined by dividing the amount of each with respect to the taxable

25 [which constitutes a small business as defined in section 1244(c)(3) of
26 internal revenue code (without regard to the second sentence of subpara-
27 graph (A) thereof) as of the last day of the taxable year] THE AGGREGATE

34 er" pursuant to this subdivision; AND (IV) WHICH HAS AN AVERAGE NUMBER
35 OF INDIVIDUALS, EXCLUDING GENERAL EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, EMPLOYED FULL-TIME
36 IN THE STATE DURING THE TAXABLE YEAR OF ONE HUNDRED OR FEWER. If the
37 taxable period to which subparagraph (i) of this paragraph applies is
38 less than twelve months, entire net income under such subparagraph shall
39 be placed on an annual basis by multiplying the entire net income by
40 twelve and dividing the result by the number of months in the period.

43 AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE ADJUSTED BASIS TO THE CORPORATION OF SUCH PROPERTY
44 FOR DETERMINING GAIN, REDUCED BY ANY LIABILITY TO WHICH THE PROPERTY WAS
45 SUBJECT OR WHICH WAS ASSUMED BY THE CORPORATION. THE DETERMINATION UNDER
46 THE PRECEDING SENTENCE SHALL BE MADE AS OF THE TIME THE PROPERTY WAS
47 RECEIVED BY THE CORPORATION. FOR PURPOSES OF SUBPARAGRAPH (III) OF THIS

13 determined shall not be less than the lowest of the amounts prescribed
14 in subparagraph one of that paragraph (d) (applying the provisions of
15 subparagraph three of that paragraph as necessary). Provided, however,
16 notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph, in taxable years begin-
17 ning in two thousand three and before two thousand eight, the amount
18 prescribed by this paragraph shall be the amount prescribed in subpara-
19 graph one of that paragraph (d) (applying the provisions of subparagraph
20 three of that paragraph as necessary) and applying the calculation of
21 that amount in the case of a termination year as set forth in subpara-
22 graph four of this paragraph as necessary. In taxable years beginning in

4 DENDS SHALL BE ELIMINATED, AND ALL OTHER INTERCORPORATE TRANSACTIONS
5 SHALL BE DEFERRED IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO THE UNITED STATES TREASURY

7 HUNDRED TWO OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.
8 (II) IN COMPUTING COMBINED CAPITAL, ALL INTERCORPORATE STOCKHOLDINGS,

16 COMBINED TAX OF THE GROUP. TO THE EXTENT THAT A PROVISION OF SECTION TWO
17 HUNDRED TEN-B OF THIS ARTICLE LIMITS A CREDIT TO THE FIXED DOLLAR MINI-
18 MUM AMOUNT PRESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH (D) OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION TWO
19 HUNDRED TEN OF THIS ARTICLE, SUCH FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM AMOUNT SHALL BE
20 THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM AMOUNT THAT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE DESIGNATED
21 AGENT OF THE COMBINED GROUP.
22 (D)(I) A NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION IS ALLOWED IN COMPUTING THE
23 COMBINED BUSINESS INCOME BASE. SUCH DEDUCTION MAY REDUCE THE TAX ON THE
24 COMBINED BUSINESS INCOME BASE TO THE HIGHER OF THE TAX ON THE COMBINED
25 CAPITAL BASE OR THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM AMOUNT THAT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO
26 THE DESIGNATED AGENT OF THE COMBINED GROUP. A COMBINED NET OPERATING
27 LOSS DEDUCTION IS EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS OR
28 LOSSES FROM ONE OR MORE TAXABLE YEARS THAT ARE CARRIED FORWARD TO A
29 PARTICULAR INCOME YEAR. A COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS IS THE COMBINED
30 BUSINESS LOSS INCURRED IN A PARTICULAR TAXABLE YEAR MULTIPLIED BY THE

34 ATING LOSS ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN CLAUSES ONE

37 (III) IN THE CASE OF A CORPORATION THAT FILES A COMBINED REPORT,
38 EITHER IN THE YEAR THE NET OPERATING LOSS IS INCURRED OR IN THE YEAR IN
39 WHICH A DEDUCTION IS CLAIMED ON ACCOUNT OF THE LOSS, THE COMBINED NET
40 OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION IS DETERMINED AS IF THE COMBINED GROUP IS A
41 SINGLE CORPORATION AND, TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE AND NOT OTHERWISE INCON-
42 SISTENT WITH THIS SUBDIVISION, IS SUBJECT TO THE SAME LIMITATIONS THAT
43 WOULD APPLY FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE
44 CODE AND THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS AS IF SUCH CORPORATION HAD
45 FILED FOR SUCH TAXABLE YEAR A CONSOLIDATED FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN
46 WITH THE SAME CORPORATIONS INCLUDED IN THE COMBINED REPORT. IF A CORPO-
47 RATION FILES A COMBINED REPORT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT FILED A SEPA-
48 RATE RETURN OR CONSOLIDATED RETURN FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES, THE
49 NET OPERATING LOSS AND NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION FOR THE COMBINED
50 GROUP MUST BE COMPUTED AS IF THE CORPORATION HAD FILED A CONSOLIDATED
51 RETURN FOR THE SAME CORPORATIONS FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES.
52 (IV) IN GENERAL, ANY NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYOVER FROM A YEAR IN WHICH
53 A COMBINED REPORT WAS FILED SHALL BE BASED ON THE COMBINED NET OPERATING
54 LOSS OF THE GROUP OF CORPORATIONS FILING SUCH REPORT. THE PORTION OF THE
55 COMBINED LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY MEMBER OF THE GROUP THAT FILES A SEPA-
56 RATE REPORT FOR A SUCCEEDING TAXABLE YEAR WILL BE AN AMOUNT BEARING THE
S. 6359--D 115 A. 8559--D
1 SAME RELATION TO THE COMBINED LOSS AS THE NET OPERATING LOSS OF SUCH
2 CORPORATION BEARS TO THE TOTAL NET OPERATING LOSS OF ALL MEMBERS OF THE
3 GROUP HAVING SUCH LOSSES TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
4 IN COMPUTING THE COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS.
5 (D-1) A NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION IS ALLOWED IN
6 COMPUTING THE COMBINED BUSINESS INCOME BASE, AS PROVIDED IN SUBPARAGRAPH
7 (VIII) OF PARAGRAPH (A) OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION TWO HUNDRED TEN OF
8 THIS ARTICLE. SUCH SUBTRACTION MAY REDUCE THE TAX ON THE COMBINED BUSI-
9 NESS INCOME BASE TO THE HIGHER OF THE TAX ON THE COMBINED CAPITAL BASE
10 OR THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM AMOUNT THAT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE DESIG-
11 NATED AGENT OF THE COMBINED GROUP.
12 (E) ANY ELECTION MADE PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (B) OF SUBDIVISION SIX,
13 AND PARAGRAPHS (B) AND (C) OF SUBDIVISION SIX-A OF SECTION TWO HUNDRED
14 EIGHT OF THIS ARTICLE SHALL APPLY TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP.
15 (F)(I) IN THE CASE OF A CAPTIVE REIT OR CAPTIVE RIC REQUIRED UNDER
16 THIS SECTION TO BE INCLUDED IN A COMBINED REPORT, ENTIRE NET INCOME
17 SHALL BE COMPUTED AS REQUIRED UNDER SUBDIVISION FIVE (IN THE CASE OF A
18 CAPTIVE REIT) OR SUBDIVISION SEVEN (IN THE CASE OF A CAPTIVE RIC) OF
19 SECTION TWO HUNDRED NINE OF THIS ARTICLE. HOWEVER, THE DEDUCTION UNDER
20 THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE FOR DIVIDENDS PAID BY THE CAPTIVE REIT OR
21 CAPTIVE RIC TO ANY MEMBER OF THE AFFILIATED GROUP THAT INCLUDES THE
22 CORPORATION THAT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OWNS OVER FIFTY PERCENT OF THE
23 VOTING STOCK OF THE CAPTIVE REIT OR CAPTIVE RIC SHALL NOT BE ALLOWED.
24 FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SUBPARAGRAPH, THE TERM "AFFILIATED GROUP" MEANS
25 "AFFILIATED GROUP" AS DEFINED IN SECTION FIFTEEN HUNDRED FOUR OF THE
26 INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO THE EXCEPTIONS PROVIDED FOR
27 IN SUBSECTION (B) OF THAT SECTION.
28 (II) IN THE CASE OF A COMBINABLE CAPTIVE INSURANCE COMPANY REQUIRED
29 UNDER THIS SECTION TO BE INCLUDED IN A COMBINED REPORT, ENTIRE NET
30 INCOME SHALL BE COMPUTED AS REQUIRED BY SUBDIVISION NINE OF SECTION TWO
31 HUNDRED EIGHT OF THIS ARTICLE.
32 (G) IF MORE THAN ONE MEMBER OF A COMBINED GROUP IS ELIGIBLE FOR ANY OF
33 THE MODIFICATIONS DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPHS (R), (S) AND (T) OF SUBDIVI-
34 SION NINE OF SECTION TWO HUNDRED EIGHT OF THIS ARTICLE, ALL SUCH MEMBERS
35 MUST UTILIZE THE SAME MODIFICATION.
36 5. APPORTIONMENT ON A COMBINED REPORT. (A) IN DETERMINING THE APPOR-
37 TIONMENT FACTOR FOR A COMBINED REPORT, THE RECEIPTS, NET INCOME, NET
38 GAINS AND OTHER ITEMS OF ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP, WHETHER OR
39 NOT THEY ARE A TAXPAYER, ARE INCLUDED AND INTERCORPORATE RECEIPTS,
40 INCOME AND GAINS ARE ELIMINATED. RECEIPTS, NET INCOME, NET GAINS AND
41 OTHER ITEMS ARE SOURCED, AND THE AMOUNTS ALLOWED IN THE APPORTIONMENT
42 FACTOR ARE DETERMINED, AS PROVIDED IN SECTION TWO HUNDRED TEN-A OF THIS
43 ARTICLE.
44 (B) AN ELECTION MADE TO APPORTION INCOME AND GAINS FROM QUALIFYING
45 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS PURSUANT TO SUBPARAGRAPH ONE OF PARAGRAPH (A) OF

17 2-a. The [tax commission] COMMISSIONER may prescribe regulations and
18 instructions requiring returns of information to be made and filed in
19 conjunction with the reports required to be filed pursuant to [section
20 two hundred eleven] THIS ARTICLE, relating to payments made to share-
21 holders owning, directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggre-
22 gate, more than fifty percent of the issued capital stock of the taxpay-
23 er, where such payments are treated as payments of interest in the
24 computation of entire net income [or minimum taxable income] reported on
25 such reports.
26 3. If the amount of taxable income [or alternative minimum taxable
27 income] for any year of any taxpayer (including any taxpayer which has
28 elected to be taxed under subchapter s of chapter one of the internal
29 revenue code), as returned to the United States treasury department is
30 changed or corrected by the commissioner of internal revenue or other
31 officer of the United States or other competent authority, or where a
32 renegotiation of a contract or subcontract with the United States
33 results in a change in taxable income [or alternative minimum taxable
34 income], such taxpayer shall report such changed or corrected taxable
35 income [or alternative minimum taxable income], or the results of such
36 renegotiation, within ninety days (or one hundred twenty days, in the
37 case of a taxpayer making a combined report under this article for such
38 year) after the final determination of such change or correction or
39 renegotiation, or as required by the commissioner, and shall concede the
40 accuracy of such determination or state wherein it is erroneous. The
41 allowance of a tentative carryback adjustment based upon a net operating
42 loss carryback or net capital loss carryback pursuant to section sixty-
43 four hundred eleven of the internal revenue code, as amended, shall be
44 treated as a final determination for purposes of this subdivision. Any
45 taxpayer filing an amended return with such department shall also file
46 within ninety days (OR ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS, IN THE CASE OF A TAXPAY-
47 ER MAKING A COMBINED REPORT UNDER THIS ARTICLE FOR SUCH YEAR) thereafter
48 an amended report with the commissioner.
49 4. [(a) Combined reports permitted or required. Any taxpayer, which
50 owns or controls either directly or indirectly substantially all the
51 capital stock of one or more other corporations, or substantially all
52 the capital stock of which is owned or controlled either directly or
53 indirectly by one or more other corporations or by interests which own
54 or control either directly or indirectly substantially all the capital
55 stock of one or more other corporations, (hereinafter referred to in
56 this paragraph as "related corporations"), shall make a combined report
S. 6359--D 117 A. 8559--D
1 covering any related corporations if there are substantial intercorpo-
2 rate transactions among the related corporations, regardless of the
3 transfer price for such intercorporate transactions. It is not necessary
4 that there be substantial intercorporate transactions between any one
5 corporation and every other related corporation. It is necessary, howev-
6 er, that there be substantial intercorporate transactions between the
7 taxpayer and a related corporation or collectively, a group of such
8 related corporations. The report shall set forth such information as the
9 commissioner may require, subject to the provisions of subparagraphs one
10 through five of this paragraph.
11 In determining whether there are substantial intercorporate trans-
12 actions, the commissioner shall consider and evaluate all activities and
13 transactions of the taxpayer and its related corporations. Activities
14 and transactions that will be considered include, but are not limited
15 to: (i) manufacturing, acquiring goods or property, or performing
16 services, for related corporations; (ii) selling goods acquired from
17 related corporations; (iii) financing sales of related corporations;
18 (iv) performing related customer services using common facilities and
19 employees for related corporations; (v) incurring expenses that benefit,
20 directly or indirectly, one or more related corporations, and (vi)
21 transferring assets, including such assets as accounts receivable,
22 patents or trademarks from one or more related corporations.
23 (1) Any corporation which owns or controls either directly or indi-
24 rectly substantially all the capital stock of a DISC not exempt from tax
25 under paragraph (i) of subdivision nine of section two hundred eight of
26 this article shall be allowed, at the election of such corporation, to
27 make a report on a combined basis covering such DISC, but the failure of
28 such corporation to make such election shall not prohibit the commis-
29 sioner from requiring a combined report covering such corporation and
30 such DISC.
31 (2)(i) No taxpayer may be permitted to make a report on a combined
32 basis covering any such other corporations where such taxpayer or any
33 such other corporation allocates in accordance with clause (A) of
34 subparagraph seven of paragraph (a) of subdivision three of section two
35 hundred ten of this article (relating to aviation corporations) and such
36 taxpayer or any such other corporation does not so allocate, unless such
37 taxpayer or such other corporation is a qualified air freight forwarder
38 with respect to such other corporation or such taxpayer, respectively,
39 and all taxpayers included on such combined report elect, by filing such
40 combined report, to have such qualified air freight forwarder so
41 included.
42 (ii) A corporation is a qualified air freight forwarder with respect
43 to another corporation:
44 (A) if it owns or controls either directly or indirectly all of the
45 capital stock of such other corporation, or if all of its capital stock
46 is owned or controlled either directly or indirectly by such other
47 corporation, or if all of the capital stock of both corporations is
48 owned or controlled either directly or indirectly by the same interests,
49 (B) if it is principally engaged in the business of air freight
50 forwarding, and
51 (C) if its air freight forwarding business is carried on principally
52 with the airline or airlines operated by such other corporation.
53 (3) No taxpayer may be permitted to make a report on a combined basis
54 covering any such other corporations where such taxpayer or any such
55 other corporation allocates in accordance with subparagraph eight of
56 paragraph (a) of subdivision three of section two hundred ten of this
S. 6359--D 118 A. 8559--D
1 article (relating to railroad and trucking corporations) and such
2 taxpayer or any such other corporation does not so allocate.
3 (4) Except as provided in the first undesignated paragraph of this
4 paragraph, no combined report covering any corporation shall be required
5 unless the commissioner deems such a report necessary, because of
6 inter-company transactions or some agreement, understanding, arrangement
7 or transaction referred to in subdivision five of this section, in order
8 properly to reflect the tax liability under this article.
9 (5) A corporation organized under the laws of a country other than the
10 United States shall not be required or permitted to make a report on a
11 combined basis.
12 (6) (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "closest control-
13 ling stockholder" means the corporation that indirectly owns or controls
14 over fifty percent of the voting stock of a captive REIT or captive RIC,
15 is subject to tax under this article, article thirty-two or thirty-three
16 of this chapter or otherwise required to be included in a combined
17 return or report under this article, article thirty-two or thirty-three
18 of this chapter, and is the fewest tiers of corporations away in the
19 ownership structure from the captive REIT or captive RIC. The commis-
20 sioner is authorized to prescribe by regulation or published guidance
21 the criteria for determining the closest controlling stockholder.
22 (ii) A captive REIT or a captive RIC must be included in a combined
23 report with the corporation that directly owns or controls over fifty
24 percent of the voting stock of the captive REIT or captive RIC if that
25 corporation is subject to tax or required to be included in a combined
26 report under this article.
27 (iii) If over fifty percent of the voting stock of a captive REIT or
28 captive RIC is not directly owned or controlled by a corporation that is
29 subject to tax or required to be included in a combined report under
30 this article, then the captive REIT or captive RIC must be included in a
31 combined return or report with the corporation that is the closest
32 controlling stockholder of the captive REIT or captive RIC. If the clos-
33 est controlling stockholder of the captive REIT or captive RIC is
34 subject to tax or otherwise required to be included in a combined report
35 under this article, then the captive REIT or captive RIC must be
36 included in a combined report under this article.
37 (iv) If the corporation that directly owns or controls the voting
38 stock of the captive REIT or captive RIC is described in subparagraph
39 two, three or five of this paragraph as a corporation not permitted to
40 make a combined report, then the provisions in clause (iii) of this
41 subparagraph must be applied to determine the corporation in whose
42 combined return or report the captive REIT or captive RIC should be
43 included. If, under clause (iii) of this subparagraph, the corporation
44 that is the closest controlling stockholder of the captive REIT or
45 captive RIC is described in subparagraph two, three or five of this
46 paragraph as a corporation not permitted to make a combined return, then
47 that corporation is deemed to not be in the ownership structure of the
48 captive REIT or captive RIC, and the closest controlling stockholder
49 will be determined without regard to that corporation.
50 (v) If a captive REIT owns the stock of a qualified REIT subsidiary
51 (as defined in paragraph two of subsection (i) of section eight hundred
52 fifty-six of the internal revenue code), then the qualified REIT subsid-
53 iary must be included in a combined report with the captive REIT.
54 (vi) If a captive REIT or a captive RIC is required under this subpar-
55 agraph to be included in a combined report with another corporation, and
56 that other corporation is also required to be included in a combined
S. 6359--D 119 A. 8559--D
1 report with another related corporation or corporations under this para-
2 graph, then the captive REIT or the captive RIC must be included in that
3 combined report with those corporations.
4 (vii) If a captive REIT or a captive RIC is not required to be
5 included in a combined report with another corporation under clause (ii)
6 or (iii) of this subparagraph, or in a combined return under the
7 provisions of either subparagraph (v) of paragraph two of subsection (f)
8 of section fourteen hundred sixty-two or paragraph four of subdivision
9 (f) of section fifteen hundred fifteen of this chapter, then the captive
10 REIT or captive RIC is subject to the opening provisions of this para-
11 graph and the provisions of subparagraph four of this paragraph. The
12 captive REIT or captive RIC must be included in a combined report under
13 this article with another corporation if either the substantial inter-
14 corporate transactions requirement in the opening provisions of this
15 paragraph or the inter-company transactions or agreement, understanding,
16 arrangement or transaction requirement of subparagraph four of this
17 paragraph is satisfied and more than fifty percent of the voting stock
18 of the captive REIT or the captive RIC and substantially all of the
19 capital stock of that other corporation are owned and controlled,
20 directly or indirectly, by the same corporation.
21 (7) (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "closest control-
22 ling stockholder" means the corporation that indirectly owns or controls
23 over fifty percent of the voting stock of an overcapitalized captive
24 insurance company; is subject to tax under this article or article thir-
25 ty-two of this chapter, or is otherwise required to be included in a
26 combined return or report under this article or article thirty-two of
27 this chapter; and is the fewest tiers of corporations away in the owner-
28 ship structure from the overcapitalized captive insurance company. The
29 commissioner is authorized to prescribe by regulation or published guid-
30 ance the criteria for determining the closest controlling stockholder.
31 (ii) An overcapitalized captive insurance company must be included in
32 a combined report with the corporation that directly owns or controls
33 over fifty percent of the voting stock of the overcapitalized captive
34 insurance company if that corporation is subject to tax or required to
35 be included in a combined report under this article.
36 (iii) If over fifty percent of the voting stock of an overcapitalized
37 captive insurance company is not directly owned or controlled by a
38 corporation that is subject to tax or required to be included in a
39 combined report under this article, then the overcapitalized captive
40 insurance company must be included in a combined return or report with
41 the corporation that is the closest controlling stockholder of the over-
42 capitalized captive insurance company. If the closest controlling stock-
43 holder of the overcapitalized captive insurance company is subject to
44 tax or otherwise required to be included in a combined report under this
45 article, then the overcapitalized captive insurance company must be
46 included in a combined report under this article.
47 (iv) If the corporation that directly owns or controls the voting
48 stock of the overcapitalized captive insurance company is described in
49 subparagraph two, three, or five of this paragraph as a corporation not
50 permitted to make a combined report, then the provisions in clause (iii)
51 of this subparagraph must be applied to determine the corporation in
52 whose combined return or report the overcapitalized captive insurance
53 company should be included. If, under clause (iii) of this subparagraph,
54 the corporation that is the closest controlling stockholder of the over-
55 capitalized captive insurance company is described in subparagraph two,
56 three or five of this paragraph as a corporation not permitted to make a
S. 6359--D 120 A. 8559--D
1 combined return, then that corporation is deemed not to be in the owner-
2 ship structure of the overcapitalized captive insurance company, and the
3 closest controlling stockholder will be determined without regard to
4 that corporation.
5 (v) If an overcapitalized captive insurance company is required under
6 this subparagraph to be included in a combined report with another
7 corporation, and that other corporation is also required to be included
8 in a combined report with another related corporation or corporations
9 under this paragraph, then the overcapitalized captive insurance company
10 must be included in that combined report with those corporations.
11 (vi) If an overcapitalized captive insurance company is not required
12 to be included in a combined report with another corporation under
13 clause (ii) or (iii) of this subparagraph, or in a combined return under
14 the provisions of subparagraph (v) of paragraph two of subsection (f) of
15 section fourteen hundred sixty-two of this chapter, then the overcapi-
16 talized captive insurance company is subject to the opening provisions
17 of this paragraph and the provisions of subparagraph four of this para-
18 graph. The overcapitalized captive insurance company must be included in
19 a combined report under this article with another corporation if either
20 the substantial intercorporate transactions requirement in the opening
21 provisions of this paragraph or the inter-company transactions or agree-
22 ment, understanding, arrangement or transaction requirement of subpara-
23 graph four of this paragraph is satisfied, and both more than fifty
24 percent of the voting stock of the overcapitalized captive insurance
25 company and substantially all of the capital stock of that other corpo-
26 ration are owned and controlled, directly or indirectly, by the same
27 corporation.
28 (b) Computation. (1) Tax. (i) In the case of a combined report the tax
29 shall be measured by the combined entire net income, combined minimum
30 taxable income, combined pre-nineteen hundred ninety minimum taxable
31 income or combined capital, of all the corporations included in the
32 report, including any captive REIT, captive RIC or overcapitalized
33 captive insurance company; provided, however, in no event shall the tax
34 measured by combined capital exceed the limitation provided for in para-
35 graph (b) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten of this article.
36 (ii) In the case of a captive REIT or captive RIC required under this
37 subdivision to be included in a combined report, entire net income must
38 be computed as required under subdivision five (in the case of a captive
39 REIT) or subdivision seven (in the case of a captive RIC) of section two
40 hundred nine of this article. However, the deduction under the internal
41 revenue code for dividends paid by the captive REIT or captive RIC to
42 any member of the affiliated group that includes the corporation that
43 directly or indirectly owns over fifty percent of the voting stock of
44 the captive REIT or captive RIC shall not be allowed for taxable years
45 beginning on or after January first, two thousand eight. The term
46 "affiliated group" means "affiliated group" as defined in section
47 fifteen hundred four of the internal revenue code, but without regard to
48 the exceptions provided for in subsection (b) of that section.
49 (iii) In the case of an overcapitalized captive insurance company
50 required under this subdivision to be included in a combined report,
51 entire net income must be computed as required by subdivision nine of
52 section two hundred eight of this article.
53 (2) Tax bases. In computing combined entire net income, combined mini-
54 mum taxable income or combined pre-nineteen hundred ninety minimum taxa-
55 ble income intercorporate dividends shall be eliminated, in computing
56 combined business and investment capital intercorporate stockholdings
S. 6359--D 121 A. 8559--D
1 and intercorporate bills, notes and accounts receivable and payable and
2 other intercorporate indebtedness shall be eliminated and in computing
3 combined subsidiary capital intercorporate stockholdings shall be elimi-
4 nated, provided, however, that intercorporate dividends from a DISC or a
5 former DISC not exempt from tax under paragraph (i) of subdivision nine
6 of section two hundred eight of this article which are taxable as busi-
7 ness income under this article shall not be eliminated.
8 (3) Air freight forwarders: allocation. Notwithstanding any provision
9 of law to the contrary, where a combined report includes a qualified air
10 freight forwarder and a corporation described in subparagraph seven of
11 paragraph (a) of subdivision three of section two hundred ten of this
12 chapter (relating to aviation corporations), in computing the combined
13 business allocation percentage such subparagraph seven shall be applied
14 with respect to such qualified air freight forwarder] FOR PROVISIONS
15 RELATING TO COMBINED REPORTS, SEE SECTION TWO HUNDRED TEN-C OF THIS
16 ARTICLE.
17 5. In case it shall appear to the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER that
18 any agreement, understanding or arrangement exists between the taxpayer
19 and any other corporation or any person or firm, whereby the activity,
20 business, income or capital of the taxpayer within the state is improp-
21 erly or inaccurately reflected, the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER is
22 authorized and empowered, in [its] THE COMMISSIONER'S discretion and in
23 such manner as [it] THE COMMISSIONER may determine, to adjust items of
24 income, deductions and capital, and to eliminate assets in computing any
25 [allocation] APPORTIONMENT percentage provided only that any income
26 directly traceable thereto be also excluded from entire net income,
27 [minimum taxable income or pre-nineteen hundred ninety minimum taxable
28 income,] so as equitably to determine the tax. Where (a) any taxpayer
29 conducts its activity or business under any agreement, arrangement or
30 understanding in such manner as either directly or indirectly to benefit
31 its members or stockholders, or any of them, or any person or persons
32 directly or indirectly interested in such activity or business, by
33 entering into any transaction at more or less than a fair price which,
34 but for such agreement, arrangement or understanding, might have been
35 paid or received therefor, or (b) any taxpayer, a substantial portion of
36 whose capital stock is owned either directly or indirectly by another
37 corporation, enters into any transaction with such other corporation on
38 such terms as to create an improper loss or net income, the [tax commis-
39 sion] COMMISSIONER may include in the entire net income[, minimum taxa-
40 ble income or pre-nineteen hundred ninety minimum taxable income] of the
41 taxpayer the fair profits which, but for such agreement, arrangement or
42 understanding, the taxpayer might have derived from such transaction.
43 WHERE ANY TAXPAYER OWNS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, MORE THAN FIFTY PERCENT
44 OF THE CAPITAL STOCK OF ANOTHER CORPORATION SUBJECT TO TAX UNDER SECTION
45 FIFTEEN HUNDRED TWO-A OF THIS CHAPTER AND FIFTY PERCENT OR LESS OF WHOSE
46 GROSS RECEIPTS FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR CONSIST OF PREMIUMS, THE COMMISSION-
47 ER MAY INCLUDE IN THE ENTIRE NET INCOME OF THE TAXPAYER, AS A DEEMED
48 DISTRIBUTION, THE AMOUNT OF THE NET INCOME OF THE OTHER CORPORATION THAT
49 IS IN EXCESS OF ITS NET PREMIUM INCOME.
50 S 19-a. Subdivision 13 of section 211 of the tax law is REPEALED.
51 S 20. Subdivision 11 of section 2 of the tax law, as added by section
52 1 of part E-1 of chapter 57 of the laws of 2009, is amended to read as
53 follows:
54 11. The term "[overcapitalized] COMBINABLE captive insurance company"
55 means an entity that is treated as an association taxable as a corpo-
56 ration under the internal revenue code (a) more than fifty percent of
S. 6359--D 122 A. 8559--D
1 the voting stock of which is owned or controlled, directly or indirect-
2 ly, by a single entity that is treated as an association taxable as a
3 corporation under the internal revenue code and not exempt from federal
4 income tax; (b) that is licensed as a captive insurance company under
5 the laws of this state or another jurisdiction; (c) whose business

7 covering the risks of its parent and/or members of its affiliated group;
8 and (d) fifty percent or less of whose gross receipts for the taxable
9 year consist of premiums FROM ARRANGEMENTS THAT CONSTITUTE INSURANCE FOR
10 FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. For purposes of this subdivision, "affil-
11 iated group" has the same meaning as that term is given in section 1504
12 of the internal revenue code, except that the term "common parent corpo-
13 ration" in that section is deemed to mean any person, as defined in
14 section 7701 of the internal revenue code[;] AND references to "at least
15 eighty percent" in section 1504 of the internal revenue code are to be
16 read as "fifty percent or more;" section 1504 of the internal revenue
17 code is to be read without regard to the exclusions provided for in
18 subsection (b) of that section; "premiums" has the same meaning as that
19 term is given in paragraph one of subdivision (c) of section fifteen
20 hundred ten of this chapter, except that it includes consideration for
21 annuity contracts and excludes any part of the consideration for insur-
22 ance, reinsurance or annuity contracts that do not provide bona fide
23 insurance, reinsurance or annuity benefits; and "gross receipts"
24 includes the amounts included in gross receipts for purposes of section
25 501(c) (15) of the internal revenue code, except that those amounts also
26 include all premiums as defined in this subdivision.
27 S 21. Subdivision (a) of section 1500 of the tax law, as separately
28 amended by section 1 of part B-1 and section 8 of part E-1 of chapter 57
29 of the laws of 2009, is amended to read as follows:
30 (a) The term "insurance corporation" includes a corporation, associ-
31 ation, joint stock company or association, person, society, aggregation
32 or partnership, by whatever name known, doing an insurance business,
33 and, notwithstanding the provisions of section fifteen hundred twelve of
34 this article, shall include (1) a risk retention group as defined in
35 subsection (n) of section five thousand nine hundred two of the insur-
36 ance law, (2) the state insurance fund and (3) a corporation, associ-
37 ation, joint stock company or association, person, society, aggregation
38 or partnership doing an insurance business as a member of the New York

44 provisions. The term "insurance corporation" shall also include a
45 captive insurance company doing a captive insurance business, as defined
46 in subsections (c) and (b), respectively, of section seven thousand two
47 of the insurance law; provided, however, "insurance corporation" shall
48 not include the metropolitan transportation authority, or a public bene-
49 fit corporation or not-for-profit corporation formed by a city with a
50 population of one million or more pursuant to subsection (a) of section
51 seven thousand five of the insurance law, each of which is expressly
52 exempt from the payment of fees, taxes or assessments, whether state or
53 local; and provided further "insurance corporation" does not include any
54 [overcapitalized] COMBINABLE captive insurance company. The term "insur-
55 ance corporation" shall also include an unauthorized insurer operating
56 from an office within the state, pursuant to paragraph five of
S. 6359--D 123 A. 8559--D
1 subsection (b) of section one thousand one hundred one and subsection
2 (i) of section two thousand one hundred seventeen of the insurance law.
3 The term "insurance corporation" also includes a health maintenance
4 organization required to obtain a certificate of authority under article
5 forty-four of the public health law.
6 S 22. Subdivision (a) of section 1502-b of the tax law, as amended by
7 section 9 of part E-1 of chapter 57 of the laws of 2009 and as further
8 amended by section 104 of part A of chapter 62 of the laws of 2011, is
9 amended to read as follows:
10 (a) In lieu of the taxes and tax surcharge imposed by sections fifteen
11 hundred one, fifteen hundred two-a, fifteen hundred five-a, and fifteen
12 hundred ten of this article, every captive insurance company licensed by

15 portation authority and a public benefit corporation or not-for-profit
16 corporation formed by a city with a population of one million or more
17 pursuant to subsection (a) of section seven thousand five of the insur-
18 ance law, each of which is expressly exempt from the payment of fees,
19 taxes or assessments whether state or local, and other than [an overcap-
20 italized] COMBINABLE captive insurance company, shall, for the privilege
21 of exercising its corporate franchise, pay a tax on (1) all gross direct
22 premiums, less return premiums thereon, written on risks located or
23 resident in this state and (2) all assumed reinsurance premiums, less
24 return premiums thereon, written on risks located or resident in this
25 state. The rate of the tax imposed on gross direct premiums shall be
26 four-tenths of one percent on all or any part of the first twenty
27 million dollars of premiums, three-tenths of one percent on all or any
28 part of the second twenty million dollars of premiums, two-tenths of one
29 percent on all or any part of the third twenty million dollars of premi-

43 party to a reorganization, as defined in subsection (a) of section 368
44 of the internal revenue code of 1986, as amended, of a corporation
45 described in paragraph one of this subdivision if both corporations were

26 the commissioner with any banking corporation that is exercising its
27 corporate franchise or doing business in the city and sixty-five percent
28 or more of whose voting stock is owned or controlled, directly or indi-
29 rectly, by such bank holding company if either such banking corporation
30 is exercising its corporate franchise or doing business in the city in a

32 quent taxable year, or sixty-five percent or more of the voting stock of
33 such banking corporation is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly,

30 notice and demand by the commissioner and in the same manner as tax, be
31 paid by the partnership or S corporation a penalty for each month (or
32 fraction thereof) during which such failure continues (but not to exceed

35 or shareholders in the S corporation during any part of the taxable year
36 who were subject to tax under this article during any part of such taxa-

27 read as follows:
28 (vi) for taxable years beginning on or after January [thirty-first]
29 FIRST, two thousand [seven] FOURTEEN, the amount prescribed by this
30 paragraph for a taxpayer which is a qualified New York manufacturer,
31 shall be computed at the rate of [six and one-half (6.5)] ZERO percent
32 of the taxpayer's entire net income base. For taxable years beginning on
33 or after January first, two thousand twelve and before January first,
34 two thousand fifteen, the amount prescribed by this paragraph for a
35 taxpayer which is an eligible qualified New York manufacturer shall be
36 computed at the rate of three and one-quarter (3.25) percent of the
37 taxpayer's entire net income base. The term "manufacturer" shall mean a
38 taxpayer which during the taxable year is principally engaged in the
39 production of goods by manufacturing, processing, assembling, refining,
40 mining, extracting, farming, agriculture, horticulture, floriculture,
41 viticulture or commercial fishing. However, the generation and distrib-
42 ution of electricity, the distribution of natural gas, and the
43 production of steam associated with the generation of electricity shall
44 not be qualifying activities for a manufacturer under this subparagraph.
45 Moreover, the combined group shall be considered a "manufacturer" for
46 purposes of this subparagraph only if the combined group during the
47 taxable year is principally engaged in the activities set forth in this
48 paragraph, or any combination thereof. A taxpayer or a combined group
49 shall be "principally engaged" in activities described above if, during
50 the taxable year, more than fifty percent of the gross receipts of the
51 taxpayer or combined group, respectively, are derived from receipts from
52 the sale of goods produced by such activities. In computing a combined
53 group's gross receipts, intercorporate receipts shall be eliminated. A

55 in New York which is described in clause (A) of subparagraph (i) of
56 paragraph (b) of subdivision twelve of this section and either (I) the

2 close of the taxable year is at least one million dollars or (II) all of
3 its real and personal property is located in New York. [In addition, a

8 THE TAXABLE YEAR AT LEAST TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED EMPLOYEES IN MANU-
9 FACTURING IN NEW YORK AND THE TAXPAYER OR THE COMBINED GROUP HAS PROPER-
10 TY IN THE STATE USED IN MANUFACTURING, THE ADJUSTED BASIS OF WHICH FOR
11 FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES AT THE CLOSE OF THE TAXABLE YEAR IS AT LEAST
12 ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. THE AMOUNT PRESCRIBED BY THIS PARAGRAPH FOR
13 A TAXPAYER THAT IS a qualified emerging technology company under para-
14 graph (c) of subdivision one of section thirty-one hundred two-e of the
15 public authorities law regardless of the ten million dollar limitation
16 expressed in subparagraph one of such paragraph (c) SHALL BE COMPUTED AT
17 THE RATE OF FIVE AND NINE-TENTHS PERCENT OF THE TAXPAYER'S ENTIRE NET
18 INCOME BASE. The commissioner shall establish guidelines and criteria
19 that specify requirements by which a manufacturer may be classified as
20 an eligible qualified New York manufacturer. Criteria may include but
21 not be limited to factors such as regional unemployment, the economic
22 impact that manufacturing has on the surrounding community, population
23 decline within the region and median income within the region in which
24 the manufacturer is located. In establishing these guidelines and crite-
25 ria, the commissioner shall endeavor that the total annual cost of the
26 lower rates shall not exceed twenty-five million dollars.
27 [(vii) For a qualified New York manufacturer, as defined in subpara-
28 graph (vi) of this paragraph, the rate at which the tax is computed in
29 effect for taxable years beginning on or after January first, two thou-
30 sand thirteen and before January first, two thousand fourteen for quali-
31 fied New York manufacturers shall be reduced by nine and two-tenths
32 percent for taxable years commencing on or after January first, two
33 thousand fourteen and before January first, two thousand fifteen, twelve
34 and three-tenths percent for taxable years commencing on or after Janu-
35 ary first, two thousand fifteen and before January first, two thousand
36 sixteen, fifteen and four-tenths percent for taxable years commencing on
37 or after January first, two thousand sixteen and before January first,
38 two thousand eighteen, and twenty-five percent for taxable years begin-
39 ning on or after January first, two thousand eighteen.]

45 principally engaged in the production of goods by manufacturing, proc-
46 essing, assembling, refining, mining, extracting, farming, agriculture,
47 horticulture, floriculture, viticulture or commercial fishing. Moreover,

49 combined group shall be considered a "manufacturer" for purposes of this
50 subparagraph only if the combined group during the taxable year is prin-
51 cipally engaged in the activities set forth in this subparagraph, or any
52 combination thereof. A taxpayer or a combined group shall be "principal-
53 ly engaged" in activities described above if, during the taxable year,
54 more than fifty percent of the gross receipts of the taxpayer or
55 combined group, respectively, are derived from receipts from the sale of
56 goods produced by such activities. In computing a combined group's gross
S. 6359--D 195 A. 8559--D
1 receipts, intercorporate receipts shall be eliminated. A "qualified New
2 York manufacturer" is a manufacturer that has property in New York that
3 is described in clause (A) of subparagraph (i) of paragraph (b) of
4 subdivision twelve of this section and either (i) the adjusted basis of
5 that property for federal income tax purposes at the close of the taxa-
6 ble year is at least one million dollars or (ii) all of its real and
7 personal property is located in New York. In addition, a "qualified New
8 York manufacturer" means a taxpayer that is defined as a qualified
9 emerging technology company under paragraph (c) of subdivision one of
10 section thirty-one hundred two-e of the public authorities law regard-
11 less of the ten million dollar limitation expressed in subparagraph one
12 of such paragraph. A TAXPAYER OR, IN THE CASE OF A COMBINED REPORT, A
13 COMBINED GROUP, THAT DOES NOT SATISFY THE PRINCIPALLY ENGAGED TEST MAY
14 BE A QUALIFIED NEW YORK MANUFACTURER IF THE TAXPAYER OR THE COMBINED
15 GROUP EMPLOYS DURING THE TAXABLE YEAR AT LEAST TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED
16 EMPLOYEES IN MANUFACTURING IN NEW YORK AND THE TAXPAYER OR THE COMBINED
17 GROUP HAS PROPERTY IN THE STATE USED IN MANUFACTURING, THE ADJUSTED

29 ly for promotional or marketing purposes as found by the [board] COMMIS-
30 SION. For purposes of this paragraph, the provisions of section one
31 thousand thirteen of this article shall not apply. Any agreement author-

4 (H) notwithstanding clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) and (G) of
5 this subparagraph, the track operator of a vendor track shall be eligi-
6 ble for a vendor's capital award of up to four percent of the total
7 revenue wagered at the vendor track after payout for prizes pursuant to
8 this chapter, which shall be used exclusively for capital project
9 investments to improve the facilities of the vendor track which promote
10 or encourage increased attendance at the video lottery gaming facility
11 including, but not limited to hotels, other lodging facilities, enter-
12 tainment facilities, retail facilities, dining facilities, events
13 arenas, parking garages and other improvements that enhance facility
14 amenities; provided that such capital investments shall be approved by
15 the division, in consultation with the state racing and wagering board,
16 and that such vendor track demonstrates that such capital expenditures
17 will increase patronage at such vendor track's facilities and increase
18 the amount of revenue generated to support state education programs. The
19 annual amount of such vendor's capital awards that a vendor track shall
20 be eligible to receive shall be limited to two million five hundred
21 thousand dollars, except for Aqueduct racetrack, for which there shall
22 be no vendor's capital awards. Except for tracks having less than one
23 thousand one hundred video gaming machines, and except for a vendor
24 track located west of State Route 14 from Sodus Point to the Pennsylva-
25 nia border within New York, each track operator shall be required to
26 co-invest an amount of capital expenditure equal to its cumulative
27 vendor's capital award. For all tracks, except for Aqueduct racetrack,
28 the amount of any vendor's capital award that is not used during any one
29 year period may be carried over into subsequent years ending before
30 April first, two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN. Any amount attributable
31 to a capital expenditure approved prior to April first, two thousand
32 [fourteen] FIFTEEN and completed before April first, two thousand

34 [eighteen] NINETEEN and completed before April first, two thousand
35 [twenty] TWENTY-ONE for a vendor track located west of State Route 14
36 from Sodus Point to the Pennsylvania border within New York, shall be
37 eligible to receive the vendor's capital award. In the event that a
38 vendor track's capital expenditures, approved by the division prior to
39 April first, two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN and completed prior to
40 April first, two thousand [sixteen] SEVENTEEN, exceed the vendor track's
41 cumulative capital award during the five year period ending April first,
42 two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN, the vendor shall continue to receive
43 the capital award after April first, two thousand [fourteen] FIFTEEN
44 until such approved capital expenditures are paid to the vendor track
45 subject to any required co-investment. In no event shall any vendor
46 track that receives a vendor fee pursuant to clause (F) or (G) of this
47 subparagraph be eligible for a vendor's capital award under this
48 section. Any operator of a vendor track which has received a vendor's
49 capital award, choosing to divest the capital improvement toward which
50 the award was applied, prior to the full depreciation of the capital
51 improvement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
52 shall reimburse the state in amounts equal to the total of any such
53 awards. Any capital award not approved for a capital expenditure at a
54 video lottery gaming facility by April first, two thousand [fourteen]
55 FIFTEEN shall be deposited into the state lottery fund for education
56 aid; and
