          New York, in relation to the definitions of the terms "CFC income" and
          "entire net income"
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section  1. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 6-a of section 208 of the tax
     2  law, as amended by section 1 of part KK of chapter 59  of  the  laws  of
     3  2018, is amended to read as follows:
     4    (b)  "Exempt  CFC  income" means (i) except to the extent described in
     5  subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph, the income required to be  included
     6  in  the  taxpayer's  federal  gross income pursuant to subsection (a) of
     7  section 951 of the internal revenue code, received  from  a  corporation
     8  that  is  conducting  a  unitary  business  with the taxpayer but is not
     9  included in a combined report with the taxpayer, and  (ii)  such  income
    10  required  to be included in the taxpayer's federal gross income pursuant
    11  to subsection (a) of such section 951 of the internal  revenue  code  by
    12  reason of subsection (a) of section 965 of the internal revenue code, as
    13  adjusted  by subsection (b) of section 965 of the internal revenue code,
    14  and without regard to subsection (c) of such section,  received  from  a
    15  corporation that is not included in a combined report with the taxpayer,
    16  less,  and  (iii)  such income required to be included in the taxpayer's
    17  federal gross income pursuant to subsection (a) of section 951A  of  the
    18  internal revenue code, without regard to the deduction under section 250
    19  of  the  internal  revenue code, received from a corporation that is not
    20  included in a combined report with  the  taxpayer,  less,  (iv)  in  the
    21  discretion  of  the  commissioner,  any  interest deductions directly or
    22  indirectly attributable to that income. In lieu of subtracting from  its
    23  exempt  CFC income the amount of those interest deductions, the taxpayer
    24  may make a revocable election to reduce its total exempt CFC  income  by
    25  forty  percent.  If  the taxpayer makes this election, the taxpayer must

     1  also make the elections provided for in paragraph (b) of subdivision six
     2  of this section and paragraph (c) of this subdivision. If  the  taxpayer
     3  subsequently  revokes  this  election,  the  taxpayer  must  revoke  the
     4  elections  provided  for  in  paragraph  (b)  of subdivision six of this
     5  section and paragraph (c) of this subdivision. A taxpayer which does not
     6  make this election because it has no  exempt  CFC  income  will  not  be
     7  precluded  from  making  those  other elections. The income described in
     8  [subparagraph] subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph shall  not
     9  constitute investment income.
    10    §  2.  Paragraph (b) of subdivision 9 of section 208 of the tax law is
    11  amended by adding a new subparagraph 25 to read as follows:
    12    (25) The amount of any federal deduction allowed pursuant  to  section
    13  250(a)(1)(B)(i) of the internal revenue code.
    14    §  3. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 5-a of section 11-652 of the admin-
    15  istrative code of the city of New York, as amended  by  section  1-a  of
    16  part  KK  of  chapter  59  of  the  laws  of 2018, is amended to read as
    17  follows:
    18    (b) "Exempt CFC income" means (i) except to the  extent  described  in
    19  subparagraph  (ii) of this paragraph, the income required to be included
    20  in the taxpayer's federal gross income pursuant  to  subsection  (a)  of
    21  section  951  of  the internal revenue code, received from a corporation
    22  that is conducting a unitary business  with  the  taxpayer  but  is  not
    23  included  in  a  combined report with the taxpayer, and (ii) such income
    24  required to be included in the taxpayer's federal gross income  pursuant
    25  to  subsection  (a)  of such section 951 of the internal revenue code by
    26  reason of subsection (a) of section 965 of the internal revenue code, as
    27  adjusted by subsection (b) of section 965 of the internal revenue  code,
    28  and  without  regard  to subsection (c) of such section, received from a
    29  corporation that is not included in a combined report with the taxpayer,
    30  less, and (iii) such income required to be included  in  the  taxpayer's
    31  federal  gross  income pursuant to subsection (a) of section 951A of the
    32  internal revenue code, without regard to the deduction under section 250
    33  of the internal revenue code, received from a corporation  that  is  not
    34  included  in  a  combined  report  with  the taxpayer, less, (iv) in the
    35  discretion of the  commissioner  of  finance,  any  interest  deductions
    36  directly  or  indirectly  attributable  to  that  income.    In  lieu of
    37  subtracting from its exempt CFC income  the  amount  of  those  interest
    38  deductions,  the  taxpayer  may  make a revocable election to reduce its
    39  total exempt CFC income by forty percent. If  the  taxpayer  makes  this
    40  election,  the  taxpayer  must  also  make the elections provided for in
    41  paragraph (b) of subdivision five of this section and paragraph  (c)  of
    42  this  subdivision.  If  the taxpayer subsequently revokes this election,
    43  the taxpayer must revoke the elections provided for in paragraph (b)  of
    44  subdivision  five of this section and paragraph (c) of this subdivision.
    45  A taxpayer which does not make this election because it  has  no  exempt
    46  CFC  income will not be precluded from making those other elections. The
    47  income described in [subparagraph] subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) of  this
    48  paragraph shall not constitute investment income.
