    1    Section  1.  Subdivision 3 of section 97-rrr of the state finance law,
    2  as amended by section 8 of part F of chapter 109 of the laws of 2006, is

   11    S  2.  One-time relief for unenrolled registrants. (1) As used in this

   13  or  otherwise acquired a primary residence after the taxable status date
   14  for the 2013 assessment roll and who registered that property  with  the
   15  commissioner  of  taxation and finance in accordance with subdivision 14
   16  of section 425 of the real property tax law on  or  before  the  taxable
   17  status  date  for  the  2014  assessment roll, but who failed to file an
   18  application for the STAR exemption for that property in accordance  with
   19  subdivision  6  of section 425 of the real property tax law on or before
   20  the taxable status date for the 2014 assessment roll.
   21    (2) If the commissioner of taxation and  finance  is  informed  on  or
   22  before  October  1,  2015,  that  an  owner of property is an unenrolled
   23  registrant, and if such commissioner finds that  the  unenrolled  regis-
   24  trant's  property would have qualified for the STAR exemption authorized
   25  by section 425 of the real property tax law on the 2014 assessment  roll
   26  if  a completed application had been filed with the appropriate assessor
   27  in a timely manner, then the commissioner of  taxation  and  finance  is
   28  authorized  to  remit  directly  to the property owner or owners the tax
   29  savings that the STAR exemption would have yielded if the STAR exemption
   30  had been granted on  the  2014  assessment  roll.  When  remitting  such
   31  amount,  the commissioner of taxation and finance shall advise the prop-
   32  erty owner or owners that such payment is subject to  recovery  by  such
   33  commissioner if the property owner or owners do not apply for and quali-
   34  fy  for  the STAR exemption on the 2015 assessment roll, or if it should
   35  otherwise be found to have been erroneously remitted  to  such  property
   36  owner or owners.
   37    (3)  The amounts payable under this act shall be paid from the account
   38  established for the payment of STAR benefits to late registrants  pursu-
   39  ant  to subparagraph (iii) of paragraph (a) of subdivision 14 of section

   41    (4) The provisions of part 6 of article 22 of the tax law relating  to
   42  the  collection  of a tax imposed by such article that has been assessed
   43  and remains unpaid shall apply to the recovery authorized by subdivision
   44  two of this section of a payment found to  have  been  erroneously  made
   45  pursuant  to  this  act to an ineligible property owner or owners in the
   46  same manner and with the same force and effect as  if  the  language  of
   47  such  article  had been incorporated in full into this act except to the
   48  extent that any provision of such article is either inconsistent with  a
   49  provision  of  this  act or is not relevant to this act as determined by
   50  the commissioner of taxation and finance. Furthermore, for  purposes  of
   51  applying  the  provisions  of part 6 of article 22 of the tax law, where
   52  the terms "tax" and "taxes" appear in such article, such terms shall  be
   53  construed  to  mean  "a payment or payments erroneously made pursuant to
   54  this act to an ineligible property owner or owners".

   13  pursuant to paragraph three of this subsection, to the extent includible

   17  from employment, which arise (i) from an employer-employee  relationship
   18  or (ii) from contributions to a retirement plan which are deductible for
   19  federal  income tax purposes. However, the term "pensions and annuities"
   20  shall also include distributions  received  by  an  individual  who  has

   22  ment account or an individual retirement annuity, as defined in  section
   23  four  hundred  eight  of  the  internal  revenue code, and distributions

   30  of subsection (e) of section four hundred two of  the  internal  revenue

   34  were  filing separate state personal income tax returns. Where a payment
   35  would otherwise come within the meaning of the term "pensions and annui-
   36  ties" as set forth in this paragraph, except  that  such  individual  is
   37  deceased,  such  payment shall, nevertheless, be treated as a pension or
   38  annuity for purposes of this paragraph if such payment  is  received  by

   14  (treating such property as section thirty-eight property irrespective of
   15  whether  or  not  it in fact constitutes section thirty-eight property).
   16  If, at the close of a taxable year following the taxable year  in  which
   17  such  property  was  placed  in  service, there is a net decrease in the
   18  amount of nonqualified nonrecourse financing with respect to such  prop-
   19  erty, such net decrease shall be treated as if it were the cost or other
   20  basis  of  property  described  in  paragraph  (b)  of  this subdivision
   21  acquired, constructed, reconstructed or erected during the year  of  the
   22  decrease  in the amount of nonqualified nonrecourse financing. PROVIDED,

   28  THE  TAXPAYER  OR  ANOTHER  TAXPAYER IN THE CALCULATION OF ANY OTHER TAX
   29  CREDIT ALLOWED UNDER THIS CHAPTER. In the case of a combined report  the
   30  term  investment credit base shall mean the sum of the investment credit
   31  base of each corporation included on such report. The percentage  to  be
   32  used to compute the credit allowed pursuant to this subdivision shall be
   33  five  percent  with  respect  to  the  first three hundred fifty million
   34  dollars of the investment credit base, and four percent with respect  to
   35  the  investment  credit  base  in  excess of three hundred fifty million
   36  dollars, except that in the case of research and development property at
   37  the option of the taxpayer the applicable percentage shall be nine.

    6  SUBSECTION, IN ORDER TO ADMINISTER THE LIMITATION IN  PARAGRAPH  ONE  OF

   16    S  5.  Subparagraph  (vi) of paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of section
   17  210 of the tax law, as amended by section 12 of part A of chapter 59  of
   18  the laws of 2014, is amended to read as follows:
   19    (vi)  for taxable years beginning on or after January first, two thou-
   20  sand fourteen, the amount prescribed by this paragraph  for  a  taxpayer
   21  which  is  a  qualified  New York manufacturer, shall be computed at the
   22  rate of zero percent of the taxpayer's business income  base.  The  term
   23  "manufacturer"  shall  mean  a taxpayer which during the taxable year is
   24  principally engaged in the production of goods by  manufacturing,  proc-
   25  essing,  assembling, refining, mining, extracting, farming, agriculture,
   26  horticulture, floriculture, viticulture or commercial fishing.  However,
   27  the  generation  and  distribution  of  electricity, the distribution of
   28  natural gas, and the production of steam associated with the  generation
   29  of  electricity  shall  not  be qualifying activities for a manufacturer
   30  under this subparagraph. Moreover, the combined group shall  be  consid-
   31  ered  a  "manufacturer"  for  purposes  of this subparagraph only if the
   32  combined group during the taxable year is  principally  engaged  in  the
   33  activities  set  forth  in this paragraph, or any combination thereof. A
   34  taxpayer or a combined group shall be "principally  engaged"  in  activ-
   35  ities  described  above  if,  during  the  taxable year, more than fifty
   36  percent of the gross receipts of the taxpayer or combined group, respec-
   37  tively, are derived from receipts from the sale  of  goods  produced  by
   38  such  activities. HOWEVER, THE LICENSE OF A MASTER OF A FILM, TELEVISION
   39  SHOW OR COMMERCIAL SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE THE SALE OF A  GOOD  UNDER  THIS
   40  SUBPARAGRAPH.  In computing a combined group's gross receipts, intercor-
   41  porate receipts shall be eliminated. A "qualified New York manufacturer"
   42  is a manufacturer which has property in New York which is  described  in
   43  subdivision  one of section two hundred ten-B of this article and either
   44  (I) the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax  purposes
   45  at the close of the taxable year is at least one million dollars or (II)
   46  all of its real and personal property is located in New York. A taxpayer
   47  or,  in  the  case of a combined report, a combined group, that does not
   48  satisfy the principally  engaged  test  may  be  a  qualified  New  York
   49  manufacturer  if  the  taxpayer or the combined group employs during the
   50  taxable year at least two thousand five hundred employees in manufactur-
   51  ing in New York and the taxpayer or the combined group has  property  in
   52  the state used in manufacturing, the adjusted basis of which for federal
   53  income  tax  purposes  at  the close of the taxable year is at least one
   54  hundred million dollars.

   21  included in a combined report with the taxpayer pursuant to the commonly
   22  owned  group  election in subdivision three of section two hundred ten-C
   23  of this article, and stock issued by the taxpayer shall  not  constitute
   24  investment  capital.  For  purposes of this subdivision, if the taxpayer
   25  owns or controls, directly or indirectly, less than  twenty  percent  of
   26  the voting power of the stock of a corporation, that corporation will be
   27  presumed  to be conducting a business that is not unitary with the busi-
   28  ness of the taxpayer.
   29    S 2. Paragraph (d) of subdivision 5 of section 208 of the tax law,  as
   30  added  by  section  4  of  part  A of chapter 59 of the laws of 2014, is
   31  amended to read as follows:
   32    (d) If a taxpayer acquires stock during the second half of its taxable
   33  year and owns that stock on the last day of the taxable year, it will be
   34  presumed, SOLELY FOR PURPOSES OF DETERMINING WHETHER THAT  STOCK  SHOULD
   35  BE  CLASSIFIED  AS  INVESTMENT  CAPITAL  AFTER  IT IS ACQUIRED, that the
   36  taxpayer held that stock for more than six consecutive months during the
   37  taxable year. THIS PRESUMPTION SHALL APPLY ONLY IF THE TAXPAYER IN  FACT
   38  OWNS  THE STOCK AT THE TIME IT FILES ITS ORIGINAL REPORT FOR THE TAXABLE
   39  YEAR IN WHICH IT ACQUIRES THE STOCK. However, if the taxpayer  does  not
   40  in  fact hold that stock AS INVESTMENT CAPITAL for more than six consec-
   41  utive months, the taxpayer must increase its total business  capital  in
   42  the  immediately  succeeding  taxable  year  by  the  amount included in
   43  investment capital for that stock, net of any  liabilities  attributable
   44  to  that stock computed as provided in paragraph (b) of this subdivision
   45  and must increase its business  income  in  the  immediately  succeeding
   46  taxable  year  by  the amount of income and net gains (but not less than
   47  zero) from that stock included in investment income, less  any  interest
   48  deductions  directly  or  indirectly  attributable  to  that  stock,  as
   49  provided in subdivision six of this section.
   50    S 3. Paragraph (e) of subdivision 5 of section 208 of the tax law,  as
   51  added  by  section  4  of  part  A of chapter 59 of the laws of 2014, is
   52  amended to read as follows:
   53    (e) When income or gain from  a  debt  obligation  or  other  security
   54  cannot  be  apportioned  to  the  state  using  the [business allocation
       A. 6009                            57

    2  TEN-A  OF THIS ARTICLE as a result of United States constitutional prin-
    3  ciples, the debt obligation  or  other  security  will  be  included  in
    4  investment capital.
    5    S  4.  Paragraph (f) of subdivision 5 of section 208 of the tax law is
    6  REPEALED.
    7    S 5. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 6 of section 208 of the tax law,  as

    9  amended to read as follows:
   10    (a) The term "investment income" means income, including capital gains
   11  in excess of capital losses, from  investment  capital,  to  the  extent
   12  included  in computing entire net income, less, (i) in the discretion of
   13  the commissioner, any interest deductions allowable in computing  entire
   14  net  income  which are directly or indirectly attributable to investment
   15  capital or investment income, [and (ii) the taxpayer's  loss,  deduction
   16  and/or  expense  attributable  to  any  transaction, or series of trans-
   17  actions, entered into to manage the risk of price  changes  or  currency
   18  fluctuations with respect to any item of investment capital that is held
   19  or  to be held by the taxpayer, or the aggregate investment capital that
   20  is held or to be held by the taxpayer, if all of the risk, or all but  a
   21  de  minimis  amount of the risk, is with respect to investment capital,]
   22  provided, however, that in no case shall investment income exceed entire
   23  net income. (II) If the amount OF INTEREST DEDUCTIONS  subtracted  under
   24  [subparagraph  (i)  or subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph or under both
   25  of those subparagraphs]  SUBPARAGRAPH  (I)  OF  THIS  PARAGRAPH  exceeds
   26  investment income, the excess of such amount over investment income must
   27  be added back to entire net income.
   28    S  6.  Subclause (ii) of clause (B) of subparagraph 1 of paragraph (r)
   29  of subdivision 9 of section 208 of the tax law, as added by section 4 of

   36  are properly reflected (or would have been  properly  reflected  if  not
   37  fully  depreciated  or expensed, or depreciated or expensed to a nominal
   38  amount) in the computation of the combined group's entire net income for
   39  the taxable year. Assets will not include deferred tax assets and intan-
   40  gible assets identified as "goodwill".
   41    (III) Tangible real and personal property, such  as  buildings,  land,
   42  machinery,  and equipment shall be valued at cost. Leased assets will be
   43  valued at the annual lease payment multiplied by eight. Intangible prop-
   44  erty, such as loans and investments,  shall  be  valued  at  book  value
   45  exclusive of reserves.

    6    For  taxable  years  beginning  before  January  first,  two  thousand
    7  sixteen, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall  be  computed  at
    8  the  rate  of  seven  and  one-tenth  percent of the taxpayer's business
    9  income base. For taxable years beginning on or after January first,  two
   10  thousand  sixteen,  the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be six

   12  er's business income base shall mean the portion of the taxpayer's busi-
   13  ness income allocated within the state as hereinafter provided. However,

   18  the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be  computed  pursuant  to
   19  subparagraph  (vi)  of  this  paragraph, AND, IN THE CASE OF A QUALIFIED
   20  EMERGING TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, AS DEFINED IN SUBPARAGRAPH  (VII)  OF  THIS
   21  PARAGRAPH,  THE  AMOUNT  PRESCRIBED  BY THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE COMPUTED
   22  PURSUANT TO SUBPARAGRAPH (VII) OF THIS PARAGRAPH.
   23    S 11. Subparagraph (vi) of paragraph (a) of subdivision 1  of  section
   24  210  of the tax law, as amended by section 12 of part A of chapter 59 of
   25  the laws of 2014, is amended to read as follows:
   26    (vi) for taxable years beginning on or after January first, two  thou-
   27  sand  fourteen,  the  amount prescribed by this paragraph for a taxpayer
   28  which is a qualified New York manufacturer, shall  be  computed  at  the
   29  rate  of  zero  percent of the taxpayer's business income base. The term
   30  "manufacturer" shall mean a taxpayer which during the  taxable  year  is
   31  principally  engaged  in the production of goods by manufacturing, proc-
   32  essing, assembling, refining, mining, extracting, farming,  agriculture,
   33  horticulture,  floriculture, viticulture or commercial fishing. However,
   34  the generation and distribution  of  electricity,  the  distribution  of
   35  natural  gas, and the production of steam associated with the generation
   36  of electricity shall not be qualifying  activities  for  a  manufacturer

   39  subparagraph only if the combined group during the taxable year is prin-
   40  cipally  engaged  in  the activities set forth in this paragraph, or any
   41  combination thereof. A taxpayer or, IN THE CASE OF A COMBINED REPORT,  a
   42  combined  group  shall  be "principally engaged" in activities described

   44  receipts  of  the  taxpayer or combined group, respectively, are derived
   45  from receipts from the sale of goods produced  by  such  activities.  In
   46  computing  a  combined  group's  gross receipts, intercorporate receipts
   47  shall be eliminated. A "qualified New York manufacturer" is  a  manufac-
   48  turer which has property in New York which is described in CLAUSE (A) OF

   51  property  for  federal  income  tax purposes at the close of the taxable
   52  year is at least one million  dollars  or  (II)  all  of  its  real  and
   53  personal  property is located in New York. A taxpayer or, in the case of
   54  a combined report, a combined group, that does not satisfy  the  princi-
   55  pally  engaged  test  may  be  a  qualified New York manufacturer if the
   56  taxpayer or the combined group employs during the taxable year at  least

   10  gy company under paragraph (c) of subdivision one of section  thirty-one
   11  hundred  two-e  of  the  public  authorities  law  regardless of the ten
   12  million dollar limitation expressed in subparagraph one  of  such  para-

   42  sand seventeen shall equal in each year, not more than one-half  of  its

   44  EXHAUSTED. IF THE POOL IS NOT EXHAUSTED AT THE END OF SUCH TIME  PERIOD,
   45  THE  REMAINDER  OF THE POOL SHALL BE FORFEITED.  The taxpayer shall make
   46  such election on its FIRST return for the tax year beginning on or after
   47  January first, two thousand fifteen and before January first, two  thou-
   48  sand  sixteen by the due date for such return (determined with regard to
   49  extensions).
   50    S 14. Subclause 4 of clause (B) of subparagraph  (viii)  of  paragraph
   51  (a)  of subdivision 1 of section 210 of the tax law, as added by section
   52  12 of part A of chapter 59 of the laws of 2014, is amended  to  read  as
   53  follows:
   54    (4) The prior net operating loss conversion subtraction may be used to
   55  reduce  the taxpayer's tax on allocated business income to the higher of
   56  the tax on the capital base under paragraph (b) of this  subdivision  or

    2  UNLESS THE TAXPAYER HAS MADE THE ELECTION PROVIDED FOR IN ITEM  (IV)  OF
    3  SUBCLAUSE  TWO OF THIS CLAUSE, ANY amount of unused subtraction shall be
    4  carried  forward  to  subsequent tax year or years until [tax] THE PRIOR

    9  forward shall not be subject to the one-tenth limitation for the  subse-
   10  quent  tax year or years. However, if the taxpayer elects to compute its
   11  prior net operating loss conversion subtraction pursuant to item (IV) of

   19    In computing the business income base, a net operating loss  deduction
   20  shall  be  allowed.  A net operating loss deduction is the amount of net
   21  operating loss or losses from one or more taxable years that are carried
   22  forward OR CARRIED BACK to a particular [income] TAXABLE year.    A  net
   23  operating loss is the amount of a business loss incurred in a particular
   24  tax  year multiplied by the apportionment factor for that year as deter-
   25  mined under section two hundred ten-A of this article. The  maximum  net
   26  operating LOSS deduction that is allowed in a taxable year is the amount
   27  that  reduces  the  taxpayer's  tax  on [allocated] APPORTIONED business
   28  income to the higher of the tax on the capital base or the fixed  dollar
   29  minimum.   Such deduction and loss are determined in accordance with the
   30  following:
   31    S 16. Clauses 4 and 6 of subparagraph (ix) of paragraph (a) of  subdi-
   32  vision 1 or section 210 of the tax law, as added by section 12 of part A
   33  of chapter 59 of the laws of 2014, are amended to read as follows:
   34    (4) [A net operating loss may be carried forward to each of the twenty
   35  taxable  years  following  the taxable year of the loss. A net operating
   36  loss may be carried back to each of the three  taxable  years  preceding
   37  the  taxable  year of the loss; provided, however no loss can be carried
   38  back to a tax year prior to a tax year beginning on  or  after  January,
   39  first, two thousand fifteen. A taxpayer must apply both of these limita-
   40  tions  in  computing such net operating loss deduction.] A NET OPERATING
   41  LOSS MAY BE CARRIED BACK THREE TAXABLE YEARS PRECEDING THE TAXABLE  YEAR
   42  OF  THE  LOSS.  HOWEVER  NO  LOSS  CAN BE CARRIED BACK TO A TAXABLE YEAR
   43  BEGINNING BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN. THE LOSS IS  FIRST
   44  CARRIED TO THE EARLIEST OF THE THREE TAXABLE YEARS. IF IT IS NOT ENTIRE-
   45  LY USED IN THAT YEAR, IT IS CARRIED TO THE SECOND TAXABLE YEAR PRECEDING
   46  THE  LOSS  YEAR, AND ANY REMAINING AMOUNT IS CARRIED TO THE TAXABLE YEAR
   47  IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE LOSS YEAR. ANY  UNUSED  AMOUNT  OF  LOSS  THEN
   48  REMAINING  MAY  BE  CARRIED  FORWARD FOR AS MANY AS TWENTY TAXABLE YEARS
   49  FOLLOWING THE LOSS YEAR. LOSSES  CARRIED  FORWARD  ARE  CARRIED  FORWARD
   50  FIRST  TO  THE TAXABLE YEAR IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE LOSS YEAR, THEN TO
   51  THE SECOND TAXABLE YEAR FOLLOWING THE LOSS YEAR, AND THEN  TO  THE  NEXT
   52  IMMEDIATELY  SUBSEQUENT  TAXABLE YEAR OR YEARS UNTIL THE LOSS IS USED UP
   53  OR THE TWENTIETH TAXABLE YEAR FOLLOWING THE LOSS YEAR,  WHICHEVER  COMES
   54  FIRST.
   55    (6)  Where  there  are  two or more allocated net operating losses, or
   56  portions thereof, carried BACK OR CARRIED forward to be deducted in  one

    6    (7)  A  TAXPAYER  MAY  ELECT TO WAIVE THE ENTIRE CARRYBACK PERIOD WITH
    7  RESPECT TO A NET OPERATING LOSS. SUCH  ELECTION  MUST  BE  MADE  ON  THE
    8  TAXPAYER'S  ORIGINAL  TIMELY  FILED  RETURN  (DETERMINED  WITH REGARD TO
    9  EXTENSIONS) FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR OF THE NET OPERATING LOSS FOR WHICH THE
   10  ELECTION IS TO BE IN EFFECT. ONCE AN ELECTION  IS  MADE  FOR  A  TAXABLE
   11  YEAR, IT SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE FOR THAT TAXABLE YEAR. A SEPARATE ELECTION
   12  MUST BE MADE FOR EACH LOSS YEAR. THIS ELECTION APPLIES TO ALL MEMBERS OF
   13  A COMBINED GROUP.
   14    S 18. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 1 of section 210 of the tax law, as
   15  amended  by  section  12 of part A of chapter 59 of the laws of 2014, is
   16  amended to read as follows:
   17    (b) Capital base. (1) The amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be
   18  computed at .15 percent for each dollar of the taxpayer's total business
   19  capital, or the portion thereof allocated within the state as hereinaft-
   20  er provided for taxable years beginning before January first, two  thou-
   21  sand  sixteen. However, in the case of a cooperative housing corporation
   22  as defined in the internal revenue code, the applicable  rate  shall  be
   23  .04 percent until taxable years beginning on or after January first, two
   24  thousand  twenty.  The  rate of tax for subsequent tax years shall be as
   25  follows: .125 percent for taxable years beginning on  or  after  January
   26  first,  two  thousand  sixteen  and  before  January first, two thousand
   27  seventeen; .100 percent for taxable years beginning on or after  January
   28  first,  two  thousand  seventeen  and before January first, two thousand
   29  eighteen; .075 percent for taxable years beginning on or  after  January
   30  first,  two  thousand  eighteen  and  before January first, two thousand
   31  nineteen; .050 percent for taxable years beginning on or  after  January
   32  first,  two  thousand  nineteen  and  before January first, two thousand
   33  twenty; .025 percent for taxable years beginning  on  or  after  January
   34  first,  two thousand twenty and before January first, two thousand twen-
   35  ty-one; and zero percent for years beginning on or after January  first,
   36  two  thousand  twenty-one.  The  rate  of  tax  for a qualified New York
   37  manufacturer [for tax years subsequent to taxable years beginning on  or
   38  after  January first, two thousand fifteen and before January first, two
   39  thousand sixteen] shall be .132 PERCENT FOR TAXABLE YEARS  BEGINNING  ON
   40  OR  AFTER  JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN AND BEFORE JANUARY FIRST,
   41  TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN, .106 percent for taxable  years  beginning  on  or
   42  after  January first, two thousand sixteen and before January first, two
   43  thousand seventeen, .085 percent for taxable years beginning on or after
   44  January first, two thousand seventeen  and  before  January  first,  two
   45  thousand  eighteen; .056 percent for taxable years beginning on or after
   46  January first, two thousand eighteen and before January first, two thou-
   47  sand nineteen; .038 percent for taxable  years  beginning  on  or  after
   48  January  first, two thousand nineteen and before January first, thousand
   49  twenty; .019 percent for taxable years beginning  on  or  after  January
   50  first,  two thousand twenty and before January first, two thousand twen-
   51  ty-one; and zero percent for years beginning on or after January  first,
   52  two thousand twenty-one. In no event shall the amount prescribed by this
   53  paragraph  exceed three hundred fifty thousand dollars for qualified New
   54  York manufacturers and for all other taxpayers five million dollars.
   55    (2) For purposes of subparagraph  one  of  this  paragraph,  the  term
   56  "manufacturer"  shall  mean  a taxpayer which during the taxable year is
       A. 6009                            63
    1  principally engaged in the production of goods by  manufacturing,  proc-
    2  essing,  assembling, refining, mining, extracting, farming, agriculture,
    3  horticulture, floriculture, viticulture or commercial fishing. Moreover,
    4  for  purposes  of  computing  the capital base in a combined report, the
    5  combined group shall be considered a "manufacturer" for purposes of this
    6  subparagraph only if the combined group during the taxable year is prin-
    7  cipally engaged in the activities set forth in this subparagraph, or any
    8  combination thereof. A taxpayer or, IN THE CASE OF A COMBINED REPORT,  a
    9  combined  group  shall  be "principally engaged" in activities described
   10  above if, during the taxable year, more than fifty percent of the  gross
   11  receipts  of  the  taxpayer or combined group, respectively, are derived
   12  from receipts from the sale of goods produced  by  such  activities.  In
   13  computing  a  combined  group's  gross receipts, intercorporate receipts
   14  shall be eliminated. A "qualified New York manufacturer" is  a  manufac-
   15  turer that has property in New York that is described in subdivision one
   16  of  section [210-B] TWO HUNDRED TEN-B of this article and either (i) the
   17  adjusted basis of that property for federal income tax purposes  at  the
   18  close of the taxable year is at least one million dollars or (ii) all of
   19  its  real  and  personal property is located in New York. In addition, a
   20  "qualified New York manufacturer" means a taxpayer that is defined as  a
   21  qualified emerging technology company under paragraph (c) of subdivision
   22  one  of  section  thirty-one hundred two-e of the public authorities law
   23  regardless of the ten million dollar limitation  expressed  in  subpara-
   24  graph  one  of  such paragraph.   IN THE CASE OF A COMBINED REPORT, EACH
   25  CORPORATION INCLUDED IN THE COMBINED REPORT MUST QUALIFY AS A  QUALIFIED
   26  EMERGING  TECHNOLOGY  COMPANY  IN  ORDER  FOR THE PREFERENTIAL TAX RATES
   27  PROVIDED BY THIS PARAGRAPH TO APPLY. A taxpayer or, in  the  case  of  a
   28  combined report, a combined group, that does not satisfy the principally
   29  engaged test may be a qualified New York manufacturer if the taxpayer or
   30  the combined group employs during the taxable year at least two thousand
   31  five  hundred employees in manufacturing in New York and the taxpayer or
   32  the combined group has property in the state used in manufacturing,  the
   33  adjusted  basis of which for federal income tax purposes at the close of
   34  the taxable year is at least one hundred million dollars.
   35    S 19. Subparagraph 1 of paragraph (d) of subdivision 1 of section  210
   36  of  the tax law, as amended by section 12 of part A of chapter 59 of the
   37  laws of 2014, is amended to read as follows:
   38    (1) (A) The amount prescribed by this paragraph for New York S  corpo-
   39  rations,  OTHER THAN NEW YORK S CORPORATIONS THAT ARE QUALIFIED NEW YORK

   12    (f)  For  purposes of this section, the term "small business taxpayer"
   13  shall mean a taxpayer (i) which has an entire net  income  of  not  more
   14  than  three  hundred  ninety thousand dollars for the taxable year; (ii)
   15  the aggregate amount of money and other property received by the  corpo-
   16  ration  for stock, as a contribution to capital, and as paid-in surplus,
   17  does not exceed one million dollars; (iii)  which  is  not  part  of  an
   18  affiliated  group,  as  defined  in section 1504 of the internal revenue
   19  code, unless such group, if it had filed a report under this article  on
   20  a  combined  basis,  would  have  itself  qualified as a "small business
   21  taxpayer" pursuant to this subdivision; and (iv) which  has  an  average
   22  number  of  individuals,  excluding general executive officers, employed
   23  full-time in the state during the taxable year of one hundred or  fewer.
   24  If  the  taxable  period  to  which  subparagraph  (i) of this paragraph
   25  applies is less than twelve months, entire net income under such subpar-
   26  agraph shall be placed on an annual basis by multiplying the entire  net
   27  income  by twelve and dividing the result by the number of months in the
   28  period. For purposes of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph, the  amount
   29  taken  into  account with respect to any property other than money shall
   30  be the amount equal to the adjusted basis to  the  corporation  of  such
   31  property  for  determining  gain,  reduced by any liability to which the
   32  property was subject or which was assumed by the corporation. The deter-
   33  mination under the preceding sentence shall be made as of the  time  the
   34  property  was  received by the corporation. For purposes of subparagraph
   35  [(iii)] (IV) of this [section] PARAGRAPH, "average  number  of  individ-
   36  uals, excluding general executive officers, employed full-time" shall be
   37  computed  by ascertaining the number of such individuals employed by the
   38  taxpayer on the thirty-first day of March, the thirtieth  day  of  June,
   39  the  thirtieth  day  of  September  and the thirty-first day of December
   40  during each taxable year or other applicable period, by adding  together

   53    1.  General.  Business  income and capital shall be apportioned to the
   54  state by the apportionment factor determined pursuant to  this  section.
   55  The  apportionment  factor  is  a fraction, determined by including only
       A. 6009                            67
    1  those receipts, net income, net gains, and other items described in this
    2  section that are included in the computation of the taxpayer's  business
    3  income  (DETERMINED  WITHOUT  REGARD  TO  THE  MODIFICATION  PROVIDED IN
    4  SUBPARAGRAPH  NINETEEN  OF  PARAGRAPH (A) OF SUBDIVISION NINE OF SECTION
    5  TWO HUNDRED EIGHT OF THIS ARTICLE) for the taxable year.  The  numerator
    6  of  the  apportionment  fraction  shall  be  equal to the sum of all the
    7  amounts required to  be  included  in  the  numerator  pursuant  to  the
    8  provisions  of  this  section  and  the denominator of the apportionment
    9  fraction shall be equal to the sum of all the  amounts  required  to  be
   10  included in the denominator pursuant to the provisions of this section.
   11    S  22. Paragraph (c) of subdivision 2 of section 210-A of the tax law,
   12  as added by section 16 of part A of chapter 59 of the laws of  2014,  is
   13  amended to read as follows:
   14    (c)  Receipts from sales of tangible personal property and electricity
   15  that are traded as commodities, as [described] THE TERM  "COMMODITY"  IS
   16  DEFINED in section 475 of the internal revenue code, are included in the
   17  apportionment fraction in accordance with clause (I) of subparagraph two
   18  of paragraph (a) of subdivision five of this section.
   19    S 23. The opening paragraph and paragraph 1 of paragraph (a) of subdi-
   20  vision 5 of section 210-A of the tax law, as added by section 16 of part
   21  A of chapter 59 of the laws of 2014, are amended to read as follows:
   22    A  financial instrument is a "qualified financial instrument" if it is
   23  ELIGIBLE OR REQUIRED TO BE marked to market under section 475 or section
   24  1256 of the internal revenue code, provided that loans secured  by  real
   25  property  shall  not  be  qualified  financial  instruments. A financial
   26  instrument is a "nonqualified financial instrument" if it is not a qual-
   27  ified financial instrument.
   28    (1) Fixed percentage method for qualified  financial  instruments.  In
   29  determining  the  inclusion  of  receipts  and  net gains from qualified
   30  financial instruments in the apportionment fraction, taxpayers may elect
   31  to use the fixed percentage method described in  this  subparagraph  for
   32  qualified financial instruments. The election is irrevocable, applies to
   33  all qualified financial instruments, and must be made on an annual basis
   34  on  the taxpayer's original, timely filed return. If the taxpayer elects
   35  the fixed percentage method, then all income, gain  or  loss,  INCLUDING
   36  MARKED  TO MARKET NET GAINS AS DEFINED IN CLAUSE (J) OF SUBPARAGRAPH TWO
   37  OF THIS PARAGRAPH,  from  qualified  financial  instruments  constitutes
   38  business income, gain or loss. If the taxpayer does not elect to use the
   39  fixed percentage method, then receipts and net gains are included in the
   40  apportionment  fraction  in accordance with the customer sourcing method
   41  described in  subparagraph  two  of  this  paragraph.  Under  the  fixed
   42  percentage  method, eight percent of all net income (not less than zero)
   43  from qualified financial instruments is included in the numerator of the
   44  apportionment fraction. All net income (not less than zero) from  quali-
   45  fied  financial instruments is included in the denominator of the appor-
   46  tionment fraction.
   47    S 24. Subclause (iv) of clause (A) of subparagraph 2 of paragraph  (a)
   48  of subdivision 5 of section 210-A of the tax law, as added by section 16
   49  of  part  A  of  chapter  59  of the laws of 2014, is amended to read as
   50  follows:
   51    (iv) Net gains (not less than zero) from sales of loans not secured by
   52  real property are included in the numerator of the  apportionment  frac-
   53  tion  as  provided  in  this subclause. The amount of net gains from the
   54  sale of loans not secured by real property included in the numerator  of
   55  the apportionment fraction is determined by multiplying the net gains by
   56  a  fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of gross proceeds from
       A. 6009                            68
    1  sales of loans not secured by real property to purchasers located within
    2  the state and the denominator of which is the amount of gross [receipts]
    3  PROCEEDS from sales of loans not secured by real property to  purchasers
    4  located within and without the state. Gross proceeds shall be determined
    5  after  the deduction of any cost incurred to acquire the loans but shall
    6  not be less than zero. Net gains (not less  than  zero)  from  sales  of
    7  loans  not  secured  by real property are included in the denominator of
    8  the apportionment fraction.
    9    S 25. Clause (A) of subparagraph 2 of paragraph (a) of  subdivision  5
   10  of section 210-A of the tax law is amended by adding a new subclause (v)
   11  to read as follows:
   12    (V)  FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SUBDIVISION, A LOAN IS SECURED BY REAL PROP-
   13  ERTY IF FIFTY PERCENT OR MORE OF THE VALUE OF  THE  COLLATERAL  USED  TO
   14  SECURE  THE  LOAN,  WHEN  VALUED AT FAIR MARKET VALUE AS OF THE TIME THE
   15  LOAN WAS ENTERED INTO, CONSISTS OF REAL PROPERTY.
   16    S 26. Subparagraph 2 of paragraph (a)  of  subdivision  5  of  section
   17  210-A  of  the  tax law is amended by adding a new clause (J) to read as
   18  follows:

   22  ER AS SOLD FOR ITS FAIR MARKET VALUE ON THE LAST  BUSINESS  DAY  OF  THE
   23  TAXPAYER'S  TAXABLE YEAR. "MARKED TO MARKET GAIN OR LOSS" MEANS THE GAIN
   24  OR LOSS RECOGNIZED BY THE TAXPAYER UNDER SECTION 475 OR SECTION 1256  OF
   25  THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE BECAUSE THE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT IS TREATED AS
   26  SOLD  FOR  ITS FAIR MARKET VALUE ON THE LAST BUSINESS DAY OF THE TAXABLE
   27  YEAR.
   28    (II) THE AMOUNT OF MARKED TO MARKET NET GAINS  (NOT  LESS  THAN  ZERO)
   29  FROM EACH TYPE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT THAT IS MARKED TO MARKET INCLUDED
   30  IN  THE  NUMERATOR OF THE APPORTIONMENT FRACTION IS DETERMINED BY MULTI-
   31  PLYING THE MARKED TO MARKET NET GAINS (BUT NOT LESS THAN ZERO) FROM SUCH

   34  THAT TYPE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT DETERMINED UNDER THE APPLICABLE CLAUSE
   35  OF THIS SUBPARAGRAPH AND THE DENOMINATOR OF WHICH IS THE DENOMINATOR  OF
   36  THE  APPORTIONMENT FRACTION FOR THE NET GAINS FOR THAT TYPE OF FINANCIAL

   43  NOT OTHERWISE SOURCED BY THE TAXPAYER UNDER THIS SUBPARAGRAPH, OR IF THE
   44  TAXPAYER HAS A NET LOSS FROM THE SALES OF THAT TYPE OF FINANCIAL INSTRU-
   45  MENT  UNDER  THE  APPLICABLE  CLAUSE OF THIS SUBPARAGRAPH, THE AMOUNT OF
   46  MARKED TO MARKET NET GAINS (NOT LESS THAN ZERO) FROM THAT TYPE OF FINAN-
   47  CIAL INSTRUMENT INCLUDED IN THE NUMERATOR OF THE APPORTIONMENT  FRACTION
   48  IS  DETERMINED  BY  MULTIPLYING  THE MARKED TO MARKET NET GAINS (BUT NOT
   49  LESS THAN ZERO) FROM THAT TYPE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT  BY  A  FRACTION,
   50  THE  NUMERATOR OF WHICH IS THE SUM OF THE AMOUNT OF RECEIPTS INCLUDED IN

    3  tions resulting from or related to the qualifying uses of such equipment

    5  perform the administrative  and  support  functions  resulting  from  or
    6  related to the qualifying uses of such equipment and are located in this
    7  state  during  the taxable year for which the credit is claimed is equal
    8  to or greater than ninety-five percent of the average number of  employ-
    9  ees  that  perform  these functions and are located in this state during
   10  the thirty-six months immediately preceding the year for which the cred-
   11  it is claimed, or (iii) the number of employees located  in  this  state

   21  graph  for  its first taxable year. For purposes of clause (iii) of this
   22  subparagraph the employment test will be based on the number of  employ-
   23  ees  located in this state on the last day of the first taxable year the
   24  taxpayer is subject to tax in this state.  If the uses of  the  property
   25  must be aggregated to determine whether the property is principally used
   26  in  qualifying  uses, then either each affiliate using the property must
   27  satisfy this employment test or this employment test must  be  satisfied
   28  through the aggregation of the employees of the taxpayer, its affiliated
   29  regulated  broker,  dealer,  and registered investment adviser using the
   30  property. For purposes of this subdivision, the term "goods"  shall  not
   31  include electricity.
   32    (d) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the credit allowed
   33  under this subdivision for any taxable year shall not reduce the tax due
   34  for  such  year  to  less  than the [higher of the amounts prescribed in
   35  paragraphs (c) and] FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM AMOUNT PRESCRIBED IN  PARAGRAPH
   36  (d)  of  subdivision  one  of  [this]  section  TWO  HUNDRED TEN OF THIS
   37  ARTICLE. However, if the amount of credit allowable under this  subdivi-
   38  sion  for  any  taxable  year  reduces  the tax to such amount OR IF THE
   39  TAXPAYER OTHERWISE PAYS TAX BASED ON THE FIXED  DOLLAR  MINIMUM  AMOUNT,
   40  any  amount  of  credit  allowed  for a taxable year commencing prior to
   41  January first, nineteen hundred eighty-seven and not deductible in  such
   42  taxable  year may be carried over to the following year or years and may
   43  be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or  years  but  in  no
   44  event  shall  such credit be carried over to taxable years commencing on
   45  or after January first, two thousand  two,  and  any  amount  of  credit
   46  allowed  for  a taxable year commencing on or after January first, nine-
   47  teen hundred eighty-seven and not deductible in such year may be carried
   48  over to the fifteen taxable years next following such taxable  year  and
   49  may  be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or years. In lieu
   50  of such carryover, any such taxpayer which qualifies as a  new  business
   51  under  paragraph  [(j)]  (F)  of this subdivision may elect to treat the
   52  amount of such carryover as an overpayment of  tax  to  be  credited  or
   53  refunded in accordance with the provisions of section ten hundred eight-
   54  y-six  of  this chapter, provided, however, the provisions of subsection
   55  (c) of section ten hundred eighty-eight of this chapter notwithstanding,
   56  no interest shall be paid thereon.

    7  article in a New York S year, and no credit allowable in a  New  York  S
    8  year,  or  carryover  of  such  credit,  shall  be deducted from the tax
    9  imposed by this article. However, a New York S year shall be treated  as
   10  a  taxable  year for purposes of determining the number of taxable years
   11  to which a credit may be carried over under this section.  Notwithstand-
   12  ing the first sentence of this subdivision, however, the credit for  the
   13  special  additional  mortgage recording tax shall be allowed as provided
   14  in subdivision [fifteen] NINE of this section, and the carryover of  any
   15  such  credit shall be determined without regard to whether the credit is
   16  carried from a New York C year to a New York S year or vice-versa.
   17    S 33. Subdivision 1, subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of paragraph  (d)  and
   18  paragraphs  (d-1) and (e) of subdivision 4, and subdivision 7 of section
   19  210-C of the tax law, as added by section 18 of part A of chapter 59  of
   20  the laws of 2014, are amended to read as follows:
   21    1.  Tax.  (A) The tax on a combined report shall be the highest of (i)
   22  the combined business income base multiplied by the tax  rate  specified
   23  in  paragraph  (a) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten of this
   24  article; (ii) the combined capital base multiplied by the tax rate spec-
   25  ified in paragraph (b) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten  of
   26  this  article,  but  not  exceeding  the limitation provided for in that
   27  paragraph (b); or (iii) the fixed dollar minimum that is attributable to
   28  the designated agent of the combined group. In addition, the  tax  on  a
   29  combined  report shall include the fixed dollar minimum tax specified in
   30  paragraph (d) of subdivision one of section  two  hundred  ten  of  this
   31  article for each member of the combined group, other than the designated
   32  agent, that is a taxpayer.
   33    (b)  The  combined  business income base is the amount of the combined
   34  business income of the combined group that is apportioned to the  state,
   35  reduced  by  any PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION AND ANY
   36  net operating loss deduction for the combined group. The combined  capi-
   37  tal  base  is  the  amount of the combined capital of the combined group
   38  that is apportioned to the state.
   39    (i) A net  operating  loss  deduction  is  allowed  in  computing  the
   40  combined  business income base. Such deduction may reduce the tax on the
   41  combined business income base to the higher of the tax on  the  combined
   42  capital  base or the fixed dollar minimum amount that is attributable to
   43  the designated agent of the combined group.  A  combined  net  operating
   44  loss  deduction is equal to the amount of combined net operating loss or
   45  losses from one or more  taxable  years  that  are  carried  forward  OR
   46  CARRIED BACK to a particular [income] TAXABLE year. A combined net oper-
   47  ating  loss is the combined business loss incurred in a particular taxa-
   48  ble year multiplied by the combined apportionment factor for  that  year
   49  determined as provided in subdivision five of this section.
   50    (ii)  The combined net operating loss deduction and combined net oper-
   51  ating loss are also subject to the provisions contained in  clauses  one
   52  through [six] SEVEN of subparagraph (ix) of paragraph (a) of subdivision
   53  one of section two hundred ten of this article.
   54    (d-1)  A PRIOR net operating loss conversion subtraction is allowed in
   55  computing the combined business income base, as provided in subparagraph
   56  (viii) of paragraph (a) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten of
       A. 6009                            73
    1  this article. Such subtraction may reduce the tax on the combined  busi-
    2  ness  income  base to the higher of the tax on the combined capital base
    3  or the fixed dollar minimum amount that is attributable  to  the  desig-
    4  nated agent of the combined group.
    5    (e)  Any  election  made pursuant to paragraph (b) of subdivision six,
    6  [and] paragraphs (b) and (c) of subdivision six-a of section two hundred
    7  eight, AND ITEM (IV) OF SUBCLAUSE TWO  OF  CLAUSE  (B)  OF  SUBPARAGRAPH
    8  (VIII)  AND CLAUSE SEVEN OF SUBPARAGRAPH (IX) OF PARAGRAPH (A) OF SUBDI-
    9  VISION ONE OF SECTION TWO HUNDRED TEN of this article shall apply to all
   10  members of the combined group.
   11    7. Designated agent. Each combined group  shall  have  one  designated
   12  agent FOR THE COMBINED GROUP, which shall be a taxpayer. [The designated
   13  agent  is  the  parent corporation of the combined group. If there is no
   14  such parent corporation, or the parent corporation is  not  a  taxpayer,
   15  then  another  member  of  the  combined group that is a taxpayer may be
   16  appointed as the designated agent.] Only the designated agent may act on
   17  behalf of the members of the combined group for matters relating to  the
   18  combined report.
   19    S  34. Paragraph 1 of subdivision (c) of section 40 of the tax law, as
   20  added by section 4 of part A of chapter 68  of  the  laws  of  2013,  is
   21  amended to read as follows:
   22    (1)  ascertaining  the  percentage that the average value of the busi-
   23  ness's real and tangible personal property, whether owned or  rented  to
   24  it, in the tax-free NY area in which the business was located during the

   31  ten] TWO HUNDRED NINE-B of this chapter; and

   33  (d) of section 40 of the tax law, as added by section 4  of  part  A  of

   37  gain,  loss  and deduction, and New York modifications thereto, entering
   38  into [entire net] BUSINESS income [or minimum taxable  income]  and  the
   39  term  "partner's  entire  income" means [entire net] BUSINESS income [or
   40  minimum taxable income], allocated within the  state.  For  purposes  of
   41  article  twenty-two of this chapter, the term "partner's income from the
   42  partnership"  means  partnership  items  of  income,  gain,   loss   and
   43  deduction,  and  New  York modifications thereto, entering into New York
   44  adjusted gross income, and the term "partner's entire income" means  New
   45  York adjusted gross income.

   53  S corporation. Such attribution shall be made  in  accordance  with  the
   54  ratio of the shareholder's income from the S corporation allocated with-

    1  other methods as the commissioner may prescribe as providing  an  appor-
    2  tionment  that  reasonably reflects the portion of the shareholder's tax
    3  attributable to the income of such business. The income of the S  corpo-
    4  ration allocated within the state shall be determined by multiplying the
    5  income  of  the  S  corporation  by  [the]  A business allocation factor
    6  [computed under paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision  three  of  section  two
    7  hundred  ten  of this article without regard to subparagraph ten of such
    8  paragraph (a)] THAT SHALL BE DETERMINED IN CLAUSE (II) OF THIS  SUBPARA-

    1  PRESCRIBE; AND (II) ANY FAILURE OF THE MARKETPLACE PROVIDER  TO  COLLECT
    2  THE PROPER AMOUNT OF TAX IN REGARD TO SUCH SALE, OCCUPANCY, OR ADMISSION

   24  LANGUAGE IN THE MARKETPLACE  PROVIDER'S  AGREEMENT  WITH  A  MARKETPLACE
   25  SELLER THAT IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE WILL HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS A MARKET-

   28    S 2. Subdivision (q) of section 1111 of  the  tax  law,  as  added  by
   29  section  3  of subpart B of part S of chapter 57 of the laws of 2010, is
   30  amended to read as follows:
   31    (q) (1) The exclusions from the definition of retail sale in  subpara-
   32  graph  (iv)  of  paragraph  four  of  subdivision  (b) of section eleven
   33  hundred one of this article shall not apply to transfers, distributions,
   34  or contributions of [an aircraft or vessel] TANGIBLE PERSONAL  PROPERTY,
   35  except  where,  in  the case of the exclusion in subclause (I) of clause
   36  (A) of such subparagraph (iv), the two  corporations  to  be  merged  or
   37  consolidated  are not affiliated persons with respect to each other. For
   38  purposes of this subdivision, corporations are affiliated  persons  with
   39  respect to each other where (i) more than five percent of their combined
   40  shares  are owned by members of the same family, as defined by paragraph
   41  four of subsection (c) of section two hundred sixty-seven of the  inter-
   42  nal  revenue code of nineteen hundred eighty-six; (ii) one of the corpo-
   43  rations has an ownership interest of more  than  five  percent,  whether
   44  direct  or indirect, in the other; or (iii) another person or a group of
   45  other persons that are affiliated persons with  respect  to  each  other
   46  hold  an ownership interest of more than five percent, whether direct or
   47  indirect, in each of the corporations.
   48    (2) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of law, in relation to  any
   49  transfer,  distribution,  or  contribution  of  [an  aircraft or vessel]
   50  TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY that qualifies as a retail sale as  a  result
   51  of  paragraph one of this subdivision, the sales tax imposed by subdivi-
   52  sion (a) of section eleven hundred five of this part shall  be  computed
   53  based  on  the price at which the seller purchased the tangible personal
   54  property, provided that where  the  seller  or  purchaser  affirmatively
   55  shows  that the seller owned the property for six months prior to making
   56  the transfer, distribution or contribution covered by paragraph  one  of
       A. 6009                            80
    1  this  subdivision,  such [aircraft or vessel] TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY
    2  shall be taxed on the basis of the current market value of the [aircraft
    3  or vessel] TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY at  the  time  of  that  transfer,
    4  distribution,  or  contribution. For the purposes of the prior sentence,
    5  "current market value" shall not exceed the cost  of  the  [aircraft  or
    6  vessel]  TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY. See subdivision (b) of this section
    7  for a similar rule on the computation of any compensating  use  tax  due
    8  under  section  eleven  hundred  ten  of  this  part  on such transfers,
    9  distributions, or contributions.
   10    (3) A purchaser of [an aircraft or vessel] TANGIBLE PERSONAL  PROPERTY
   11  covered  by  paragraph  one  of  this  subdivision will be entitled to a
   12  refund or credit against the sales or compensating  use  tax  due  as  a
   13  result of a transfer, distribution, or contribution of such [aircraft or
   14  vessel] TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY in the amount of any sales or use tax
   15  paid to this state or any other state on the seller's purchase or use of
   16  the  [aircraft  or  vessel]  TANGIBLE  PERSONAL PROPERTY so transferred,
   17  distributed or contributed, but not to exceed the tax due on the  trans-
   18  fer,  distribution, or contribution of the [aircraft or vessel] TANGIBLE
   19  PERSONAL PROPERTY or  on  the  purchaser's  use  in  the  state  of  the
   20  [aircraft or vessel] TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY so transferred, distrib-
   21  uted  or  contributed.  An application for a refund or credit under this
   22  subdivision must be filed and shall be in such form as the  commissioner
   23  may  prescribe.  Where  an  application  for  credit has been filed, the
   24  applicant may immediately take such credit on the return  which  is  due
   25  coincident  with  or  immediately subsequent to the time the application
   26  for credit is filed. However, the taking of the  credit  on  the  return
   27  shall be deemed to be part of the application for credit.  Provided that
   28  the  commissioner  may, in his or her discretion and notwithstanding any
   29  other law, waive the application requirement for any or all  classes  of
   30  persons  where the amount of the credit or refund is equal to the amount
   31  of the tax due from the purchaser. The provisions of  subdivisions  (a),
   32  (b), and (c) of section eleven hundred thirty-nine of this article shall
   33  apply  to  applications  for refund or credit under this subdivision. No
   34  interest shall be allowed or paid on any refund made or  credit  allowed
   35  under this subdivision. If a refund is granted or a credit allowed under
   36  this  paragraph,  the  seller  or  purchaser shall not be eligible for a
   37  refund or credit pursuant to subdivision seven of section eleven hundred
   38  eighteen of this article with regard to the same purchase or use.
   39    S 3. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply in accord-
   40  ance with applicable transitional provisions of sections 1106  and  1217
   41  of the tax law.

   34  taxable estate is less than or equal to the basic exclusion amount,  the
   35  applicable  credit  amount  shall be the amount of tax that would be due
   36  under subsection (b) of this section on such decedent's New York taxable

   39  five percent of such amount, the applicable credit amount shall  be  the
   40  amount  of tax that would be due under subsection (b) of this section if

   44  sion  amount,  and the denominator of which is five percent of the basic
   45  exclusion amount. Provided, however, that the  credit  allowed  by  this
   46  subsection  shall  not  exceed  the  tax imposed by this section, and no
   47  credit shall be allowed to the estate of any  decedent  whose  New  York
   48  taxable  estate  exceeds one hundred five percent of the basic exclusion
   49  amount. PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT THE CREDIT ALLOWED  BY  THIS  SUBSECTION
   50  SHALL  BE INCREASED BY AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE UNUSED EXCLUSION AMOUNT OF
   51  THE DESCENDENT'S LAST DECEASED SPOUSE.
   52    (2) (A) For purposes of this section, the basic exclusion amount shall
   53  be as follows:
   54  In the case of decedents dying on or after: The basic  exclusion  amount
   55  is:

    4  April 1, 2017 and before January 1, 2019     5,250,000
    5    (B)  In the case of any decedent dying in a calendar year beginning on
    6  or after January first,  two  thousand  nineteen,  the  basic  exclusion
    7  amount shall be equal to:
    8    (i) five million dollars, multiplied by
    9    (ii)  one  plus  the  cost-of-living  adjustment,  which  shall be the
   10  percentage by which the consumer price index for the preceding  calendar
   11  year  exceeds  the  consumer  price index for calendar year two thousand
   12  ten.
   13    (C) (i) For purposes of this paragraph, "consumer price  index"  means
   14  the  most  recent consumer price index for all-urban consumers published
   15  by the United States department of labor.
   16    (ii) For purposes of clause (ii) of subparagraph  (B)  of  this  para-
   17  graph, the consumer price index for any calendar year shall be the aver-
   18  age  of  the  consumer  price  index as of the close of the twelve-month
   19  period ending on August thirty-first of such calendar year.
   20    (iii) If any amount adjusted under this paragraph is not a multiple of
   21  ten thousand dollars, such amount shall be rounded to the nearest multi-
   22  ple of ten thousand dollars.
   23    (3)(A) FOR DECEDENTS DYING ON  OR  AFTER  APRIL  FIRST,  TWO  THOUSAND
   24  FIFTEEN,  THE CREDIT ALLOWED BY THIS SUBSECTION SHALL BE INCREASED BY AN
   25  AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE UNUSED  EXCLUSION  AMOUNT  OF  THE  DECEDENT'S  LAST
   26  DECEASED SPOUSE.
   27    (B)  FOR  PURPOSES  OF THIS SUBSECTION, THE UNUSED EXCLUSION AMOUNT OF
   28  THE DECEDENT'S LAST DECEASED SPOUSE IS THE BASIC EXCLUSION AMOUNT OF THE
   29  LAST SUCH DECEASED SPOUSE OF SUCH SURVIVING SPOUSE MINUS THE AMOUNT WITH
   30  RESPECT TO WHICH THE TAX IS DETERMINED AND IMPOSED BY THIS SUBSECTION ON
   31  THE ESTATE OF SUCH DECEASED SPOUSE.
   32    (C) PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO CREDIT AMOUNT OF  THE  DECEDENT'S  LAST
   33  DECEASED  SPOUSE  SHALL BE ALLOWED IF THE NEW YORK TAXABLE ESTATE OF THE
   34  DECEDENT'S LAST DECEASED SPOUSE WAS EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN  THE  BASIC

   14  sion b of section 1612 of the tax law, as amended by section 1  of  part
   15  BB of chapter 59 of the laws of 2014, is amended to read as follows:
   16    (H)  notwithstanding  clauses  (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) and (G) of
   17  this subparagraph, the track operator of a vendor track shall be  eligi-
   18  ble  for  a  vendor's  capital  award of up to four percent of the total
   19  revenue wagered at the vendor track after payout for prizes pursuant  to
   20  this  chapter,  which  shall  be  used  exclusively  for capital project
   21  investments to improve the facilities of the vendor track which  promote
   22  or  encourage  increased attendance at the video lottery gaming facility
   23  including, but not limited to hotels, other lodging  facilities,  enter-
   24  tainment   facilities,  retail  facilities,  dining  facilities,  events
   25  arenas, parking garages and other  improvements  that  enhance  facility
   26  amenities;  provided  that such capital investments shall be approved by
   27  the division, in consultation with the state racing and wagering  board,
   28  and  that  such vendor track demonstrates that such capital expenditures
   29  will increase patronage at such vendor track's facilities  and  increase
   30  the amount of revenue generated to support state education programs. The
   31  annual  amount of such vendor's capital awards that a vendor track shall
   32  be eligible to receive shall be limited  to  two  million  five  hundred
   33  thousand  dollars,  except for Aqueduct racetrack, for which there shall
   34  be no vendor's capital awards. Except for tracks having  less  than  one
   35  thousand  one  hundred  video  gaming  machines, and except for a vendor
   36  track located west of State Route 14 from Sodus Point to the  Pennsylva-
   37  nia  border  within  New  York, each track operator shall be required to
   38  co-invest an amount of  capital  expenditure  equal  to  its  cumulative
       A. 6009                            95
    1  vendor's  capital  award. For all tracks, except for Aqueduct racetrack,
    2  the amount of any vendor's capital award that is not used during any one
    3  year period may be carried over  into  subsequent  years  ending  before
    4  April  first, two thousand [fifteen] SIXTEEN. Any amount attributable to
    5  a capital expenditure  approved  prior  to  April  first,  two  thousand
    6  [fifteen] SIXTEEN and completed before April first, two thousand [seven-
    7  teen]  EIGHTEEN;  or  approved prior to April first, two thousand [nine-
    8  teen] TWENTY and completed before April first, two thousand [twenty-one]
    9  TWENTY-TWO for a vendor track located west of State Route 14 from  Sodus
   10  Point  to  the Pennsylvania border within New York, shall be eligible to
   11  receive the vendor's capital award. In the event that a  vendor  track's
   12  capital expenditures, approved by the division prior to April first, two
   13  thousand [fifteen] SIXTEEN and completed prior to April first, two thou-
   14  sand  [seventeen] EIGHTEEN, exceed the vendor track's cumulative capital
   15  award during the five year  period  ending  April  first,  two  thousand
   16  [fifteen]  SIXTEEN,  the  vendor  shall  continue to receive the capital
   17  award after April first,  two  thousand  [fifteen]  SIXTEEN  until  such
   18  approved  capital  expenditures  are paid to the vendor track subject to
   19  any required co-investment. In no event  shall  any  vendor  track  that
   20  receives a vendor fee pursuant to clause (F) or (G) of this subparagraph
   21  be  eligible for a vendor's capital award under this section. Any opera-
   22  tor of a vendor track which  has  received  a  vendor's  capital  award,
   23  choosing  to  divest  the capital improvement toward which the award was
   24  applied, prior to the full depreciation of the  capital  improvement  in
   25  accordance  with  generally  accepted accounting principles, shall reim-
   26  burse the state in amounts equal to the total of any  such  awards.  Any
   27  capital  award not approved for a capital expenditure at a video lottery
   28  gaming facility by April first, two thousand [fifteen] SIXTEEN shall  be
   29  deposited into the state lottery fund for education aid; and
   30    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

   43  or  other material or evidence as the commission may require. No license
   44  shall be issued by the commission authorizing the simulcast transmission
   45  of thoroughbred races from a track located in Suffolk  county.  The  fee
   46  for  such  licenses shall be five hundred dollars per simulcast facility
   47  and for account wagering licensees that do not operate either  a  simul-
   48  cast facility that is open to the public within the state of New York or

    6  by this chapter at one or more simulcast  facilities  for  each  of  the
    7  contracting  off-track  betting  corporations which shall include wagers
    8  made in accordance with  section  one  thousand  fifteen,  one  thousand
    9  sixteen  and  one  thousand  seventeen of this article; provided further
   10  that the contract provisions or other simulcast  arrangements  for  such
   11  simulcast  facility  shall  be no less favorable than those in effect on

   13  corporation  having  within  its  geographic boundaries such residences,
   14  homes or other areas technically  capable  of  receiving  the  simulcast

   16  shall be subject to contractual agreement of  the  parties  except  that
   17  statutory  payments  to  non-contracting  parties,  if  any,  may not be
   18  reduced; provided, however, that nothing herein to  the  contrary  shall
   19  prevent a track from televising its races on an irregular basis primari-
   20  ly for promotional or marketing purposes as found by the commission. For
   21  purposes of this paragraph, the provisions of section one thousand thir-
   22  teen  of  this  article  shall  not  apply. Any agreement authorizing an
   23  in-home simulcasting experiment commencing prior to May fifteenth, nine-

   26  party  to  such  agreement  may  elect  to terminate such agreement upon
   27  conveying written notice to all other parties of such agreement at least
   28  forty-five days prior to the effective  date  of  the  termination,  via
   29  registered  mail.  Any party to an agreement receiving such notice of an
   30  intent to terminate, may request the commission to mediate  between  the
   31  parties  new terms and conditions in a replacement agreement between the
   32  parties as will permit continuation of an in-home experiment until  June

   44  for purses to be awarded at races  conducted  by  such  receiving  track

   29  11-654  OF  THIS  SUBCHAPTER,  OR  ANY  OTHER APPLICABLE SECTION OF THIS
   30  SUBCHAPTER,  LIMITS  A  CREDIT  TO  THE  FIXED  DOLLAR  MINIMUM   AMOUNT
   31  PRESCRIBED IN CLAUSE (IV) OF SUBPARAGRAPH ONE OF PARAGRAPH (E) OF SUBDI-
   32  VISION ONE OF SECTION 11-654 OF THIS SUBCHAPTER, SUCH FIXED DOLLAR MINI-
   33  MUM AMOUNT SHALL BE THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM AMOUNT THAT IS ATTRIBUTABLE

   35    (D)(1)  A  NET  OPERATING  LOSS  DEDUCTION IS ALLOWED IN COMPUTING THE
   36  COMBINED BUSINESS INCOME BASE. SUCH DEDUCTION MAY REDUCE THE TAX ON  THE

   38  CAPITAL OR THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM AMOUNT THAT IS ATTRIBUTABLE  TO  THE

   51  IN THE YEAR THE NET OPERATING LOSS IS INCURRED OR IN THE YEAR IN WHICH A
   52  DEDUCTION IS CLAIMED ON ACCOUNT OF THE LOSS, THE COMBINED NET  OPERATING
   53  LOSS DEDUCTION IS DETERMINED AS IF THE COMBINED GROUP IS A SINGLE CORPO-
   54  RATION  AND,  TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE AND NOT OTHERWISE INCONSISTENT WITH
   55  THIS SUBDIVISION, IS SUBJECT TO THE SAME LIMITATIONS  THAT  WOULD  APPLY
   56  FOR  FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE
       A. 6009                            162
    1  CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS AS IF SUCH CORPORATION HAD  FILED  FOR  SUCH
    2  TAXABLE  YEAR  A  CONSOLIDATED  FEDERAL  INCOME TAX RETURN WITH THE SAME
    3  CORPORATIONS INCLUDED IN THE COMBINED REPORT. IF A CORPORATION  FILES  A
    4  COMBINED  REPORT,  REGARDLESS  OF  WHETHER IT FILED A SEPARATE RETURN OR
    5  CONSOLIDATED RETURN FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES, THE  NET  OPERATING
    6  LOSS  AND  NET  OPERATING  LOSS DEDUCTION FOR THE COMBINED GROUP MUST BE
    7  COMPUTED AS IF THE CORPORATION HAD FILED A CONSOLIDATED RETURN  FOR  THE
    8  SAME CORPORATIONS FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES.
    9    (4)  IN GENERAL, ANY NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYOVER FROM A YEAR IN WHICH
   10  A COMBINED REPORT WAS FILED SHALL BE BASED ON THE COMBINED NET OPERATING
   11  LOSS OF THE GROUP OF CORPORATIONS FILING SUCH REPORT. THE PORTION OF THE
   12  COMBINED LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY MEMBER OF THE GROUP THAT FILES A SEPA-
   13  RATE REPORT FOR A SUCCEEDING TAXABLE YEAR WILL BE AN AMOUNT BEARING  THE
   14  SAME  RELATION  TO  THE  COMBINED LOSS AS THE NET OPERATING LOSS OF SUCH
   15  CORPORATION BEARS TO THE TOTAL NET OPERATING LOSS OF ALL MEMBERS OF  THE
   16  GROUP  HAVING SUCH LOSSES TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
   17  IN COMPUTING THE COMBINED NET OPERATING LOSS.
   18    (D-1) A PRIOR NET OPERATING LOSS CONVERSION SUBTRACTION IS ALLOWED  IN
   19  COMPUTING THE COMBINED BUSINESS INCOME BASE, AS PROVIDED IN SUBDIVISIONS
   20  ONE AND TWO OF SECTION 11-654.1 OF THIS SUBCHAPTER. SUCH SUBTRACTION MAY
   21  REDUCE  THE  TAX ON COMBINED BUSINESS INCOME TO THE HIGHER OF THE TAX ON
   22  COMBINED CAPITAL OR THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM AMOUNT THAT IS ATTRIBUTABLE
   23  TO THE DESIGNATED AGENT OF THE COMBINED GROUP AND  THE  MEMBERS  OF  THE
   24  COMBINED GROUP.
   25    (E)  ANY  ELECTION MADE PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (B) OF SUBDIVISION FIVE,
   26  PARAGRAPHS (B) AND (C) OF SUBDIVISION FIVE-A OF SECTION 11-652  OF  THIS
   27  SUBCHAPTER,  AND  PARAGRAPH (D) OF SUBDIVISION THREE OF SECTION 11-654.1
   28  OF THIS SUBCHAPTER SHALL APPLY TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED GROUP.

   35  RIC TO ANY MEMBER OF THE AFFILIATED GROUP THAT INCLUDES THE  CORPORATION
   36  THAT  DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OWNS OVER FIFTY PERCENT OF THE VOTING STOCK
   37  OF THE CAPTIVE REIT OR CAPTIVE RIC SHALL NOT BE ALLOWED.   FOR  PURPOSES
   38  OF  THIS  SUBPARAGRAPH,  THE  TERM  "AFFILIATED GROUP" MEANS "AFFILIATED
   39  GROUP" AS DEFINED IN SECTION FIFTEEN HUNDRED FOUR OF THE INTERNAL REVEN-
   40  UE CODE, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO THE EXCEPTIONS PROVIDED FOR IN SUBSECTION
   41  (B) OF THAT SECTION.
   42    (2) IN THE CASE OF A COMBINABLE  CAPTIVE  INSURANCE  COMPANY  REQUIRED
   43  UNDER  THIS  SECTION  TO  BE  INCLUDED  IN A COMBINED REPORT, ENTIRE NET
   44  INCOME SHALL BE COMPUTED AS REQUIRED BY  SUBDIVISION  EIGHT  OF  SECTION

   24  the laws of 1992, are amended to read as follows:
   25    (a) If the taxpayer fails to comply with subchapter two [or], three OR
   26  THREE-A of this chapter in not reporting a change or correction or rene-
   27  gotiation,  or  computation  or  recomputation  of  tax,  increasing  or
   28  decreasing its federal or New York  state  taxable  income,  alternative
   29  minimum  taxable income or other basis of tax as reported on its federal
   30  or New York state income tax return or in  not  reporting  a  change  or
   31  correction  or  renegotiation,  or  computation or recomputation of tax,
   32  which is treated in the same manner as  if  it  were  a  deficiency  for
   33  federal  or  New  York  state  income  tax  purposes or in not filing an
   34  amended return or in not reporting the execution of a notice  of  waiver
   35  executed  pursuant to subsection (d) of section six thousand two hundred
   36  thirteen of the internal revenue code or pursuant to subdivision (f)  of
   37  section  one thousand eighty-one of the tax law, instead of the mode and
   38  time of assessment provided for in subdivision two of this section,  the
   39  commissioner  of  finance  may  assess  a  deficiency  based  upon  such
   40  increased or decreased federal or New York state taxable income,  alter-
   41  native  minimum  taxable  income or other basis of tax by mailing to the
   42  taxpayer a notice of additional tax due specifying  the  amount  of  the
   43  deficiency,  and  such deficiency, together with the interest, additions
   44  to tax and penalties stated in such notice, shall be deemed assessed  on
   45  the date such notice is mailed unless within thirty days after the mail-
   46  ing  of  such notice a report of the federal or New York state change or
   47  correction or renegotiation, or computation or recomputation of tax,  or
   48  an  amended  return,  where  such  return was required by subchapter two
   49  [or], three OR THREE-A, is filed  accompanied  by  a  statement  showing
   50  wherein  such federal or New York state determination and such notice of
   51  additional tax due are erroneous.
   52    7. Two or more corporations.  In  case  of  a  combined  return  under
   53  subchapter  two  OR  THREE-A  or  a consolidated return under subchapter
   54  three of two or more  corporations,  the  commissioner  of  finance  may
   55  determine  a  deficiency  of  tax  under subchapter two [or subchapter],
   56  three OR THREE-A of this chapter with respect to the entire tax due upon
       A. 6009                            172
    1  such return against any taxpayer included therein.  In  the  case  of  a
    2  taxpayer  which might have been included in such a return under subchap-
    3  ter two [or subchapter], three OR THREE-A of this chapter when  the  tax
    4  was  originally  reported,  the  commissioner of finance may determine a
    5  deficiency of tax under subchapter two [or], three OR  THREE-A  of  this
    6  chapter  against  such  taxpayer  and  against any other taxpayers which
    7  might have been included in such a return.
    8    8. Deficiency defined. For the purposes of this  subchapter,  a  defi-
    9  ciency  means the amount of the tax imposed by the named subchapters, or
   10  any of them, less: (a) the amount shown as the tax upon  the  taxpayer's
   11  return  (whether the return was made or the tax computed by it or by the
   12  commissioner of finance), and less (b) the amounts  previously  assessed
   13  (or  collected  without  assessment)  as  a  deficiency and plus (c) the
   14  amount of any rebates. For the  purpose  of  this  definition,  the  tax
   15  imposed by subchapter two [or], three OR THREE-A of this chapter and the
   16  tax  shown  on the return shall both be determined without regard to any
   17  payment of estimated tax; and a rebate means so much  of  an  abatement,
   18  credit, refund or other repayment (whether or not erroneous) as was made
   19  on  the  ground that the amounts entering into the definition of a defi-
   20  ciency showed a balance in favor of the taxpayer.
   21    9. Exception where change or correction of sales and compensating  use
   22  tax liability is not reported.
   23    (a)  If  a  taxpayer fails to comply with subchapter two OR THREE-A of
   24  this chapter in not reporting a change or correction of  its  sales  and
   25  compensating  use  tax  liability  or in not filing a copy of an amended
   26  return or report relating to its sales and compensating use tax  liabil-
   27  ity, instead of the mode and time of assessment provided for in subdivi-
   28  sion two of this section, the commissioner of finance may assess a defi-
   29  ciency  based  upon such changed or corrected sales and compensating use
   30  tax liability, as same relates to credits claimed under  subchapter  two
   31  OR THREE-A of this chapter, by mailing to the taxpayer a notice of addi-
   32  tional  tax  due specifying the amount of the deficiency, and such defi-
   33  ciency, together with the interest, additions to tax and penalties stat-
   34  ed in such notice, shall be deemed assessed on the date such  notice  is
   35  mailed  unless  within  thirty  days  after the mailing of such notice a
   36  report of the state change or correction or a copy of an amended  return
   37  or report, where such copy was required by subchapter two OR THREE-A, is
   38  filed  accompanied  by  a  statement showing wherein such state determi-
   39  nation and such notice of additional tax due are erroneous.
   40    (b) Such notice shall not be considered as a notice of deficiency  for
   41  the  purposes of this section, subdivision six of section 11-678 (limit-
   42  ing credits or refunds after petition to the tax appeals  tribunal),  or
   43  subdivision  two of section 11-680 (authorizing the filing of a petition
   44  with the tax appeals tribunal based on  a  notice  of  deficiency),  nor
   45  shall  such  assessment  or  the collection thereof be prohibited by the
   46  provisions of subdivision three of this section.
   47    (c) If the taxpayer has terminated its existence, a  notice  of  addi-
   48  tional  tax due may be mailed to its last known address in or out of the
   49  city, and such notice shall be sufficient for purposes of this  subchap-
   50  ter. If the commissioner of finance has received notice that a person is
   51  acting  for  the taxpayer in a fiduciary capacity, a copy of such notice
   52  shall also be mailed to the fiduciary named in such notice.
   53    S 9. Subdivisions 1 and 3 of section 11-673 of the administrative code
   54  of the city of New York, the first undesignated paragraph of subdivision

    1    1.  Assessment date. The amount of tax which a return shows to be due,
    2  or the amount of tax which a return would have shown to be due but for a
    3  mathematical error, shall be deemed to be assessed on the date of filing
    4  of the return (including any amended return showing an increase of tax).
    5  If  a notice of deficiency has been mailed, the amount of the deficiency
    6  shall be deemed to be assessed on the date specified in subdivision  two
    7  of  section  11-672  of this subchapter if no petition is both served on
    8  the commissioner of finance and filed with the tax appeals tribunal,  or
    9  if a petition is so served and filed, then upon the date when a decision
   10  of  the  tax  appeals tribunal establishing the amount of the deficiency
   11  becomes final. If a report  or  an  amended  return  filed  pursuant  to
   12  subchapter two [or], three OR THREE-A of this chapter concedes the accu-
   13  racy  of  a federal or New York state adjustment or change or correction
   14  or renegotiation or computation or recomputation of tax, any  deficiency
   15  in  tax  under  subchapter  two  [or],  three OR THREE-A of this chapter
   16  resulting therefrom shall be deemed to be assessed on the date of filing
   17  such report or amended return,  and  such  assessment  shall  be  timely
   18  notwithstanding section 11-674 of this chapter.
   19    If  a report filed pursuant to subchapter two OR THREE-A of this chap-
   20  ter concedes the accuracy of a state change or correction of  sales  and
   21  compensating  use  tax liability, any deficiency in tax under subchapter
   22  two OR THREE-A of this  chapter  resulting  therefrom  shall  be  deemed
   23  assessed on the date of filing such report, and such assessment shall be
   24  timely notwithstanding section 11-674 of this chapter.
   25    If  a  notice of additional tax due, as prescribed in subdivision five
   26  of section 11-672 of this chapter, has been mailed, the  amount  of  the
   27  deficiency  shall be deemed to be assessed on the date specified in such
   28  subdivision unless within thirty days after the mailing of such notice a
   29  report of the  federal  or  New  York  state  adjustment  or  change  or
   30  correction  or  renegotiation or computation or recomputation of tax, or
   31  an amended return, where such return  was  required  by  subchapter  two
   32  [or], three OR THREE-A of this chapter, is filed accompanied by a state-
   33  ment  showing  wherein  such federal or New York state determination and
   34  such notice of additional tax due are erroneous.
   35    If a notice of additional tax due, as prescribed in  subdivision  nine
   36  of section 11-672 of this subchapter, has been mailed, the amount of the
   37  deficiency  shall be deemed to be assessed on the date specified in such
   38  subdivision unless within thirty days after the mailing of such notice a
   39  report of the state change or correction, or a copy of an amended return
   40  or report, where such copy was required by subchapter two OR THREE-A  of
   41  this  chapter,  is filed accompanied by a statement showing wherein such
   42  state determination and such notice of additional tax due are erroneous.
   43    Any amount paid as a tax or in respect of a tax,  other  than  amounts
   44  paid  as  estimated tax, shall be deemed to be assessed upon the date of
   45  receipt of payment notwithstanding any other provisions.
   46    3. Estimated tax. No unpaid amount of estimated tax  under  subchapter
   47  two [or], three OR THREE-A of this chapter shall be assessed.
   48    S  10.  Subdivisions  3  and 4 of section 11-674 of the administrative
   49  code of the city of New York, subparagraph 3 of paragraph (a) and  para-
   50  graph (c) of subdivision 3 as amended by chapter 525 of the laws of 1988

    2  THREE-A of this chapter, the taxpayer fails to file a report or  amended
    3  return  required  thereunder,  in  respect of an increase or decrease in
    4  federal or New York state taxable income,  alternative  minimum  taxable
    5  income  or  other  basis  of tax or federal or New York state tax, or in
    6  respect of a change or correction or renegotiation or in respect of  the
    7  execution  of a notice of waiver report of which is required thereunder,
    8  or computation or recomputation of tax, which is  treated  in  the  same
    9  manner  as  if it were a deficiency for federal or New York state income
   10  tax purposes, or
   11    (4) in the case of the tax imposed under subchapter two OR THREE-A  of
   12  this  chapter,  the taxpayer fails to file a report or amended return or
   13  report required thereunder, in respect of  a  change  or  correction  of
   14  sales  and  compensating  use tax liability, relating to the purchase or
   15  use of items for which a sales or compensating use  tax  credit  against
   16  the tax imposed by subchapter two OR THREE-A was claimed.
   17    (b)  Extension  by agreement. Where, before the expiration of the time
   18  prescribed in this section for the assessment of tax, both  the  commis-
   19  sioner  of  finance  and  the  taxpayer have consented in writing to its
   20  assessment after such time, the tax may be assessed at any time prior to
   21  the expiration of the period agreed upon. The period so agreed upon  may
   22  be  extended by subsequent agreements in writing made before the expira-
   23  tion of the period previously agreed upon.

   25  case  of  the tax imposed under subchapter two [or], three OR THREE-A of
   26  this chapter, if the taxpayer files a report or amended return  required
   27  thereunder, in respect of an increase or decrease in federal or New York
   28  state  taxable income, alternative minimum taxable income or other basis
   29  of tax or federal or New York state tax, or in respect of  a  change  or
   30  correction  or renegotiation, or in respect of the execution of a notice
   31  of waiver report of which is  required  thereunder,  or  computation  or
   32  recomputation  of tax, which is treated in the same manner as if it were
   33  a deficiency for federal or New York  state  income  tax  purposes,  the
   34  assessment  (if  not  deemed  to  have  been made upon the filing of the
   35  report or amended return) may be made at any time within two years after
   36  such report or amended return was filed. The amount of  such  assessment
   37  of tax shall not exceed the amount of the increase in city tax attribut-
   38  able to such federal or New York state change or correction or renegoti-
   39  ation,  or  computation  or recomputation of tax. The provisions of this
   40  paragraph shall not affect the time within which or the amount for which
   41  an assessment may otherwise be made.
   42    (d) Deficiency attributable to carry back.  If  a  deficiency  of  tax
   43  under  subchapter  two OR THREE-A of this chapter is attributable to the
   44  application to taxpayer of a net operating loss carry back or a  capital
   45  loss  carry  back,  it may be assessed at any time that a deficiency for
   46  the taxable year of the loss may be assessed.
   47    (e) Recovery of erroneous refund. An erroneous refund shall be consid-
   48  ered an underpayment of tax on the date made, and  an  assessment  of  a
   49  deficiency  arising  out  of an erroneous refund may be made at any time
   50  within two years from the making of the refund, except that the  assess-
   51  ment  may  be made within five years from the making of the refund if it
   52  appears that any part of the refund was induced by fraud or misrepresen-
   53  tation of a material fact.
   54    (f) Request for prompt assessment. The tax shall  be  assessed  within
   55  eighteen months after written request therefor (made after the return is
   56  filed)  by the taxpayer or by a fiduciary representing the taxpayer, but
       A. 6009                            175
    1  not more than three years after the return was filed, except  as  other-
    2  wise provided in this subdivision and subdivision four. This subdivision
    3  shall not apply unless:
    4    (1) (A) such written request notifies the commissioner of finance that
    5  the  taxpayer  contemplates  dissolution  at or before the expiration of
    6  such eighteen-month period, (B) the dissolution is in good  faith  begun
    7  before the expiration of such eighteen-month period, (C) the dissolution
    8  is completed;
    9    (2) (A) such written request notifies the commissioner of finance that
   10  a  dissolution  has in good faith been begun, and (B) the dissolution is
   11  completed; or
   12    (3) a dissolution has been completed at the time such written  request
   13  is made.
   14    (g)  Change  of  the allocation of taxpayer's income or capital.  [No]
   15  (1) WITH REGARD TO TAXABLE YEARS BEGINNING  BEFORE  JANUARY  FIRST,  TWO
   16  THOUSAND  FIFTEEN, NO change of the allocation of income or capital upon
   17  which the taxpayer's return (or any  additional  assessment)  was  based
   18  shall  be  made where an assessment of tax is made during the additional
   19  period of limitation under subparagraph three or four of paragraph  (a),
   20  or  under  paragraph  (c), (d) or (i); and where any such assessment has
   21  been made, or where a notice  of  deficiency  has  been  mailed  to  the
   22  taxpayer  on the basis of any such proposed assessment, no change of the
   23  allocation of income or capital shall be made in  a  proceeding  on  the
   24  taxpayer's  claim  for  refund  of  such assessment or on the taxpayer's
   25  petition for redetermination of such deficiency.
   26    (2) WITH REGARD TO TAXABLE YEARS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANUARY  FIRST,
   27  TWO  THOUSAND  FIFTEEN, NO CHANGE OF THE ALLOCATION OF INCOME OR CAPITAL
   28  UPON WHICH THE TAXPAYER'S RETURN  (OR  ANY  ADDITIONAL  ASSESSMENT)  WAS
   29  BASED  SHALL BE MADE WHERE AN ASSESSMENT OF TAX IS MADE DURING THE ADDI-
   30  TIONAL PERIOD OF LIMITATION UNDER SUBPARAGRAPH THREE OR  FOUR  OF  PARA-
   31  GRAPH  (A) OR UNDER PARAGRAPH (C), (D) OR (I), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH
   32  ASSESSMENT IS BASED ON AN INCREASE OR DECREASE IN NEW YORK STATE TAXABLE
   33  INCOME OR OTHER BASIS OF TAX OR NEW  YORK  STATE  TAX,  OR  BASED  ON  A
   34  CHANGE, CORRECTION OR RENEGOTIATION OF TAX, OR BASED ON THE EXECUTION OF
   35  A  NOTICE  OF WAIVER REPORT WHICH IS REQUIRED THEREUNDER, OR COMPUTATION
   36  OR RECOMPUTATION OF TAX, WHICH IS TREATED IN THE SAME MANNER  AS  IF  IT
   37  WERE  A DEFICIENCY FOR NEW YORK STATE INCOME TAX PURPOSES; AND WHERE ANY
   38  SUCH ASSESSMENT HAS BEEN MADE, OR WHERE A NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY HAS  BEEN
   39  MAILED  TO THE TAXPAYER ON THE BASIS OF ANY SUCH PROPOSED ASSESSMENT, NO
   40  CHANGE OF THE ALLOCATION OF  INCOME  OR  CAPITAL  SHALL  BE  MADE  IN  A
   41  PROCEEDING  ON  THE TAXPAYER'S CLAIM FOR REFUND OF SUCH ASSESSMENT OR ON
   42  THE TAXPAYER'S PETITION FOR REDETERMINATION OF SUCH  DEFICIENCY,  EXCEPT
   43  TO THE EXTENT SUCH ASSESSMENT IS BASED ON AN INCREASE OR DECREASE IN NEW
   44  YORK  STATE  TAXABLE INCOME OR OTHER BASIS OF TAX OR NEW YORK STATE TAX,
   45  OR BASED ON A CHANGE OR CORRECTION OR RENEGOTIATION OF TAX, OR BASED  ON
   46  THE EXECUTION OF A NOTICE OF WAIVER REPORT WHICH IS REQUIRED THEREUNDER,
   47  OR  COMPUTATION  OR  RECOMPUTATION  OF TAX, WHICH IS TREATED IN THE SAME
   48  MANNER AS IF IT WERE AN  OVERPAYMENT  FOR  NEW  YORK  STATE  INCOME  TAX
   49  PURPOSES.
   50    (h)  Report  concerning  waste  treatment  facility. Under the circum-
   51  stances described in subparagraph three of paragraph (g) of  subdivision
   52  eight  of  section  11-602  of  this chapter OR IN SUBPARAGRAPH THREE OF
   53  PARAGRAPH (G) OF SUBDIVISION EIGHT OF SECTION 11-652  OF  THIS  CHAPTER,
   54  the  tax  may  be  assessed  within  three years after the filing of the
   55  report containing the information required by such paragraph.
       A. 6009                            176
    1    (i) Report of changed or corrected  sales  and  compensating  use  tax
    2  liability.  In the case of a tax imposed under subchapter two OR THREE-A
    3  of this chapter, if the taxpayer files a report  or  amended  return  or
    4  report  required  thereunder,  in  respect  of a change or correction of
    5  sales  and compensating use tax liability, the assessment (if not deemed
    6  to have been made upon the filing of the report) may be made at any time
    7  within two years after such report  or  amended  return  or  report  was
    8  filed.  The amount of such assessment of tax shall not exceed the amount
    9  of the increase in  city  tax  attributable  to  such  state  change  or
   10  correction.   The provisions of this paragraph shall not affect the time
   11  within which or the amount for which  an  assessment  may  otherwise  be
   12  made.
   13    4.  Omission  of income on return. The tax may be assessed at any time
   14  within six years after the return was filed if  a  taxpayer  omits  from
   15  gross  income required to be reported on a return under any of the named
   16  subchapters an amount properly includable therein which is in excess  of
   17  twenty-five  per  centum  of  the  amount  of gross income stated in the
   18  return.
   19    For the purposes of this subdivision:
   20    (a) the term "gross income" means gross income for federal income  tax
   21  purposes  as  reportable  on a return under subchapter two OR THREE-A of
   22  this chapter and "gross  earnings",  "gross  income,"  "gross  operating
   23  income" and "gross direct premiums less return premiums," as those terms
   24  are used in whichever of the named subchapters is applicable;
   25    (b)  there shall not be taken into account any amount which is omitted
   26  in the return if such amount is disclosed in the return, or in a  state-
   27  ment attached to the return, in a manner adequate to apprise the commis-
   28  sioner of finance of the nature and amount of such item.
   29    S  11.  Subdivisions  2  and 5 of section 11-675 of the administrative
   30  code of the city of New York, subdivision 5  as  amended  by  local  law
   31  number 57 of the city of New York for the year 2001, are amended to read
   32  as follows:
   33    2.  Exception as to estimated tax. This section shall not apply to any
   34  failure to pay estimated tax under subchapter two [or subchapter], three
   35  OR THREE-A of this chapter.
   36    5. Tax reduced by carry back. If the amount of  tax  under  subchapter
   37  two  OR THREE-A for any taxable year is reduced by reason of a carryback
   38  of a net operating loss or a capital loss, such reduction in  tax  shall
   39  not affect the computation of interest under this section for the period
   40  ending  with the filing date for the taxable year in which the net oper-
   41  ating loss or capital loss arises. Such filing date shall be  determined
   42  without regard to extensions of time to file.
   43    S  12.  Subdivision  3 of section 11-676 of the administrative code of
   44  the city of New York, as amended by chapter 201 of the laws of 2009,  is
   45  amended to read as follows:
   46    3.  Failure  to  file declaration or underpayment of estimated tax. If
   47  any taxpayer fails to file a declaration of estimated tax under subchap-
   48  ter two [or], three OR THREE-A of this chapter, or fails to pay  all  or
   49  any  part  of  an amount which is applied as an installment against such
   50  estimated tax, it shall be deemed to have made an underpayment of  esti-
   51  mated  tax.  There  shall  be  added  to the tax for the taxable year an
   52  amount at the underpayment rate  set  by  the  commissioner  of  finance
   53  pursuant to section 11-687 of this subchapter, or, if no rate is set, at
   54  the  rate of seven and one-half percent per annum upon the amount of the
   55  underpayment for the period of  the  underpayment  but  not  beyond  the
   56  fifteenth  day  of  the  third  month following the close of the taxable
       A. 6009                            177
    1  year. The amount of the underpayment  shall  be,  with  respect  to  any
    2  installment  of  estimated  tax  computed  on the basis of the preceding
    3  year's tax, the excess of the  amount  required  to  be  paid  over  the
    4  amount,  if  any,  paid  on  or  before the last day prescribed for such
    5  payment or, with respect to any other installment of estimated tax,  the
    6  excess  of  the  amount of the installment which would be required to be
    7  paid if the estimated tax were equal to ninety percent of the tax  shown
    8  on  the  return  for the taxable year (or if no return was filed, ninety
    9  percent of the tax for such year)  over  the  amount,  if  any,  of  the
   10  installment  paid on or before the last day prescribed for such payment.
   11  In any case in which there would be no underpayment if "eighty  percent"
   12  were  substituted  for  "ninety  percent"  each place it appears in this
   13  subdivision, the addition to the tax  shall  be  equal  to  seventy-five
   14  percent  of  the  amount  otherwise determined. No underpayment shall be
   15  deemed to exist with respect to a declaration or  installment  otherwise
   16  due on or after the termination of existence of the taxpayer.
   17    S  13. The opening paragraph of subdivision 4 of section 11-676 of the
   18  administrative code of the city of  New  York  is  amended  to  read  as
   19  follows:
   20    Exception  to addition for underpayment of estimated tax. The addition
   21  to tax under subdivision three with respect to any underpayment  of  any
   22  amount  which  is  applied as an installment against estimated tax under
   23  subchapter two [or], three OR THREE-A  of  this  chapter  shall  not  be
   24  imposed  if the total amount of all payments of estimated tax made on or
   25  before the last date prescribed for  the  payment  of  any  such  amount
   26  equals  or  exceeds the amount which would have been required to be paid
   27  on or before such date if  the  estimated  tax  were  whichever  of  the
   28  following is the least:
   29    S  14.  Subdivision 13 of section 11-676 of the administrative code of
   30  the city of New York, as added by chapter 525 of the laws  of  1988,  is
   31  amended to read as follows:
   32    13. Failure to file report of information relating to certain interest
   33  payments.  In case of failure to file the report of information required
   34  under EITHER subdivision two-a of section  11-605  of  this  chapter  OR
   35  SUBDIVISION  TWO-A OF SECTION 11-655 OF THIS CHAPTER, unless it is shown
   36  that such failure is due to reasonable cause  and  not  due  to  willful
   37  neglect,  there  shall  be  added  to  the tax a penalty of five hundred
   38  dollars.
   39    S 15. Subdivision 2 of section 11-677 of the  administrative  code  of
   40  the city of New York is amended to read as follows:
   41    2.  Credits  against  estimated  tax.  The commissioner of finance may
   42  prescribe regulations providing for the crediting against the  estimated
   43  tax  under subchapter two [or], three OR THREE-A of this chapter for any
   44  taxable year of the amount determined to be an overpayment of tax  under
   45  any  such subchapter for a preceding taxable year. If any overpayment of
   46  tax is so claimed as a credit against estimated tax for  the  succeeding
   47  taxable  year,  such  amount shall be considered as a payment of the tax
   48  under subchapter two [or], three OR THREE-A  of  this  chapter  for  the
   49  succeeding  taxable  year  (whether  or  not  claimed as a credit in the
   50  declaration of estimated tax for such succeeding taxable year),  and  no
   51  claim  for credit or refund of such overpayment shall be allowed for the
   52  taxable year for which the overpayment arises.
   53    S 16. Subdivisions 3, 4, 9 and 11 of section 11-678 of the administra-
   54  tive code of the city of New York, subdivision 3 as amended  by  chapter
   55  241 of the laws of 1989 and subdivision 4 as amended by local law number
       A. 6009                            178
    1  57  of  the  city  of New York for the year 2001, are amended to read as
    2  follows:
    3    3.  Notice of change or correction of federal or New York state income
    4  or other basis of tax. If a taxpayer is required by subchapter two [or],
    5  three OR THREE-A of this chapter to file a report or amended  return  in
    6  respect of (a) a decrease or increase in federal or New York state taxa-
    7  ble  income, alternative minimum taxable income or other basis of tax or
    8  federal or New York state tax, (b) a federal or New York state change or
    9  correction or renegotiation, or computation  or  recomputation  of  tax,
   10  which  is  treated  in  the same manner as if it were an overpayment for
   11  federal or New York state income  tax  purposes,  claim  for  credit  or
   12  refund of any resulting overpayment of tax shall be filed by the taxpay-
   13  er  within  two  years  from  the time such report or amended return was
   14  required to be filed with the commissioner of finance. If the report  or
   15  amended return required by subchapter two [or], three OR THREE-A of this
   16  chapter  is not filed within the ninety day period therein specified, no
   17  interest shall be payable on any claim for credit or refund of the over-
   18  payment attributable  to  the  federal  or  New  York  state  change  or
   19  correction. The amount of such credit or refund:
   20    (c)  shall,  (I) FOR TAXABLE YEARS BEGINNING BEFORE JANUARY FIRST, TWO
   21  THOUSAND FIFTEEN, be computed without change of the allocation of income
   22  or capital upon which the taxpayer's return (or any  additional  assess-
   23  ment) was based, and, (II) FOR TAXABLE YEARS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER JANU-
   24  ARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN, BE COMPUTED WITHOUT CHANGE OF THE ALLO-
   25  CATION  OF  INCOME  OR  CAPITAL UPON WHICH THE TAXPAYER'S RETURN (OR ANY
   26  ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENT) WAS BASED TO THE EXTENT THAT THE CLAIM FOR REFUND
   27  ARISES FROM A DECREASE OR INCREASE IN FEDERAL TAXABLE  INCOME  OR  OTHER
   28  BASIS OF TAX OR FEDERAL TAX, OR FROM A FEDERAL CHANGE, CORRECTION, RENE-
   29  GOTIATION,  COMPUTATION OR RECOMPUTATION OF TAX, WHICH IS TREATED IN THE
   30  SAME MANNER AS  IF  IT  WERE  AN  OVERPAYMENT  FOR  FEDERAL  INCOME  TAX
   31  PURPOSES, AND
   32    (d)  shall  not exceed the amount of the reduction in tax attributable
   33  to such decrease or increase  in  federal  or  New  York  state  taxable
   34  income,  alternative  minimum  taxable  income  or other basis of tax or
   35  federal or New York state tax or to  such  federal  or  New  York  state
   36  change  or  correction or renegotiation, or computation or recomputation
   37  of tax.
   38    This subdivision shall not affect the time within which or the  amount
   39  for  which  a  claim  for  credit or refund may be filed apart from this
   40  subdivision.
   41    4. Overpayment attributable to net operating loss carry back or  capi-
   42  tal loss carry back. A claim for credit or refund of so much of an over-
   43  payment  under subchapter two OR THREE-A of this chapter as is attribut-
   44  able to the application to the taxpayer of a net  operating  loss  carry
   45  back or a capital loss carry back shall be filed within three years from
   46  the time the return was due (including extensions thereof) for the taxa-
   47  ble year of the loss, or within the period prescribed in subdivision two
   48  in  respect  of  such  taxable  year, or within the period prescribed in
   49  subdivision three, where applicable, in respect to the taxable  year  to
   50  which  the net operating loss or capital loss is carried back, whichever
   51  expires the latest. Where such claim for credit or refund is filed after
   52  the expiration of the period prescribed in subdivision one or in  subdi-
   53  vision two where applicable, in respect to the taxable year to which the
   54  net  operating  loss or capital loss is carried back, the amount of such
   55  credit or refund shall be computed without change of the  allocation  of
       A. 6009                            179
    1  income  or  capital  upon which the taxpayer's return (or any additional
    2  assessment) was based.
    3    9.  Prepaid  tax.  For  purposes  of this section, any tax paid by the
    4  taxpayer before the last day prescribed for its payment  (including  any
    5  amount  paid  by the taxpayer as estimated tax for a taxable year) shall
    6  be deemed to have been paid by it on the  fifteenth  day  of  the  third
    7  month following the close of the taxable year the income of which is the
    8  basis  for tax under subchapter two [or], three OR THREE-A of this chap-
    9  ter, or on the last day prescribed in part one of  subchapter  three  or
   10  subchapter  four for the filing of a final return for such taxable year,
   11  or portion thereof, determined in all cases without regard to any exten-
   12  sion of time granted the taxpayer.
   13    11. Notice of change or correction of sales and compensating  use  tax
   14  liability. (a) If a taxpayer is required by subchapter two OR THREE-A of
   15  this  chapter  to file a report or amended return in respect of a change
   16  or correction of its sales and compensating use tax liability, claim for
   17  credit or refund of any resulting overpayment of tax shall be  filed  by
   18  the  taxpayer  within  two  years  from  the time such report or amended
   19  return was required to be filed with the commissioner  of  finance.  The
   20  amount  of such credit or refund shall be computed without change of the
   21  allocation of income or capital upon which the taxpayer's return (or any
   22  additional assessment) was based, and shall not exceed the amount of the
   23  reduction in tax attributable to such change or correction of sales  and
   24  compensating use tax liability.
   25    (b)  This  subdivision  shall  not affect the time within which or the
   26  amount for which a claim for credit or refund may be  filed  apart  from
   27  this subdivision.
   28    S  17.  Subdivisions  4  and 6 of section 11-679 of the administrative
   29  code of the city of New York, subdivision 4  as  amended  by  local  law
   30  number 57 of the city of New York for the year 2001 and subdivision 6 as
   31  amended  by  chapter  241  of  the  laws of 1989, are amended to read as
   32  follows:
   33    4. Refund of tax caused by carryback. For purposes of this section, if
   34  any overpayment of tax imposed by subchapter  two  OR  THREE-A  of  this
   35  chapter  results from a carryback of a net operating loss or a net capi-
   36  tal loss, such overpayment shall be deemed not to have been  made  prior
   37  to the filing date for the taxable year in which such net operating loss
   38  or net capital loss arises. Such filing date shall be determined without
   39  regard  to extensions of time to file. For purposes of subdivision three
   40  of this section any overpayment described herein shall be treated as  an
   41  overpayment for the loss year and such subdivision shall be applied with
   42  respect  to such overpayment by treating the return for the loss year as
   43  not filed before claim for such overpayment is  filed.  The  term  "loss
   44  year" means the taxable year in which such loss arises.
   45    6. Cross reference. For provision with respect to interest after fail-
   46  ure  to  file a report of federal or New York state change or correction
   47  or amended return under subchapter  two  [or],  three  OR  THREE-A,  see
   48  subdivision three of section 11-678 of this subchapter.
   49    S 18. Paragraph (d) of subdivision 4 of section 11-680 of the adminis-
   50  trative  code  of the city of New York, as amended by chapter 808 of the
   51  laws of 1992, is amended to read as follows:
   52    (d) Restriction on further notices  of  deficiency.  If  the  taxpayer
   53  files  a  petition  with the tax appeals tribunal under this section, no
   54  notice of deficiency under section 11-672 of this subchapter may  there-
   55  after  be  issued  by  the  commissioner of finance for the same taxable
   56  year, except in case of fraud or with respect to an increase or decrease
       A. 6009                            180
    1  in federal or New York state taxable income, alternative minimum taxable
    2  income or other basis of tax or federal or  New  York  state  tax  or  a
    3  federal  or  New  York  state  change or correction or renegotiation, or
    4  computation or recomputation of tax, which is treated in the same manner
    5  as  if  it  were  a  deficiency for federal or New York state income tax
    6  purposes, required to be reported under subchapter two  [or],  three  OR
    7  THREE-A  of this chapter or with respect to a state change or correction
    8  of sales and compensating use tax  liability  required  to  be  reported
    9  under subchapter two OR THREE-A of this chapter.
   10    S 19. Paragraph (c) of subdivision 5 of section 11-680 of the adminis-
   11  trative  code  of the city of New York, as amended by chapter 808 of the
   12  laws of 1992, is amended to read as follows:
   13    (c) whether the petitioner is liable for any increase in a  deficiency
   14  where  such  increase is asserted initially after a notice of deficiency
   15  was mailed and a petition under this section filed, unless such increase
   16  in deficiency is the result of an increase or decrease in federal or New
   17  York state taxable income, alternative minimum taxable income  or  other

    5  basis, shall be qualifying real property taxes. If a residence is  owned
    6  by  two  or  more individuals as joint tenants or tenants in common, and
    7  one or more than one individual is not a member of the household, quali-
    8  fying real property taxes is that part of such taxes  on  the  residence
    9  which  reflects  the  ownership percentage of the qualified taxpayer and
   10  members of his or her household. If a residence is an integral part of a
   11  larger unit, qualifying real property taxes shall  be  limited  to  that
   12  amount of such taxes paid as may be reasonably apportioned to such resi-
   13  dence.  If  a  household owns and occupies two or more residences during
   14  different periods in the same taxable  year,  qualifying  real  property
   15  taxes  shall  be  the sum of the prorated qualifying real property taxes
   16  attributable to the household during the periods such household occupies
   17  each of such residences. If the household owns and occupies a  residence
   18  for  part of the taxable year and rents a residence for part of the same
   19  taxable year, it may include the proration of qualifying  real  property
   20  taxes  on  the residence owned.   Provided, however, for purposes of the
   21  credit allowed under this subsection, qualifying real property taxes may
   22  be included by a qualified taxpayer only to the extent that such taxpay-
   23  er or the spouse of such taxpayer,  occupying  such  residence  for  one
   24  hundred eighty-three days or more of the taxable year, owns or has owned
   25  the  residence and paid such taxes. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, FOR TAXABLE YEARS
