A. 1971 2
1 a corporation that is not included in a combined report with the taxpay-
2 er, less, (iv) in the discretion of the commissioner, any interest
3 deductions directly or indirectly attributable to that income. In lieu
4 of subtracting from its exempt CFC income the amount of those interest
5 deductions, the taxpayer may make a revocable election to reduce its
6 total exempt CFC income by forty percent. If the taxpayer makes this
7 election, the taxpayer must also make the elections provided for in
8 paragraph (b) of subdivision six of this section and paragraph (c) of
9 this subdivision. If the taxpayer subsequently revokes this election,
10 the taxpayer must revoke the elections provided for in paragraph (b) of
11 subdivision six of this section and paragraph (c) of this subdivision. A
12 taxpayer which does not make this election because it has no exempt CFC
13 income will not be precluded from making those other elections. The
14 income described in subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph shall
15 not constitute investment income. The income described in subparagraph
16 (iii) of this paragraph shall not constitute exempt unitary corporation
17 dividends.
18 § 2. The opening paragraph of paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of
19 section 210 of the tax law, as amended by section 1 of subpart A of part
20 I of chapter 59 of the laws of 2023, is amended to read as follows:
21 For taxable years beginning before January first, two thousand
22 sixteen, and before January first, two thousand twenty-three, the amount
23 prescribed by this paragraph shall be computed at the rate of seven and
24 one-tenth percent of the taxpayer's business income base. For taxable
25 years beginning on or after January first, two thousand sixteen, the
26 amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be six and one-half percent of
27 the taxpayer's business income base. For taxable years beginning on or
28 after January first, two thousand twenty-six for any taxpayer with a
29 business income base for the taxable year of more than two and one-half
30 million dollars, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be eight
31 percent of the taxpayer's business income base; for any taxpayer with a
32 business income base for the taxable year in excess of ten million
33 dollars, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be twelve percent
34 of the taxpayer's business income base in excess of ten million dollars;
35 for any taxpayer with a business income base for the taxable year in
36 excess of twenty million dollars, the amount prescribed by this para-
37 graph shall be fourteen percent of the taxpayer's business income base
38 in excess of twenty million dollars. For taxable years beginning on or
39 after January first, two thousand twenty-one and before January first,
40 two thousand twenty-seven for any taxpayer with a business income base
41 for the taxable year of more than five million dollars, the amount
42 prescribed by this paragraph shall be seven and one-quarter percent of
43 the taxpayer's business income base. The taxpayer's business income base
44 shall mean the portion of the taxpayer's business income apportioned
45 within the state as hereinafter provided. However, in the case of a
46 small business taxpayer, as defined in paragraph (f) of this subdivi-
47 sion, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be computed pursuant
48 to subparagraph (iv) of this paragraph and in the case of a manufactur-
49 er, as defined in subparagraph (vi) of this paragraph, the amount
50 prescribed by this paragraph shall be computed pursuant to subparagraph
51 (vi) of this paragraph, and, in the case of a qualified emerging tech-
52 nology company, as defined in subparagraph (vii) of this paragraph, the
53 amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be computed pursuant to

A. 1971 3
1 § 3. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 5-a of section 210-A of the tax law,
2 as amended by section 3 of part I of chapter 39 of the laws of 2019, is
3 amended to read as follows:
4 (b) For New York C corporations, global intangible low-taxed income
5 shall not be included in the numerator of the apportionment fraction.
6 [Five] Fifty percent of global intangible low-taxed income shall be
7 included in the denominator of the apportionment fraction.
8 § 4. Paragraph 2 of subsection (kkk) of section 606 of the tax law, as
9 added by section 2 of part C of chapter 59 of the laws of 2021, is
10 amended to read as follows:
11 (2) The credit shall be equal to seventy-five percent of the part-
12 ner's, member's or shareholder's direct share of the pass-through entity
13 tax.
14 § 5. The tax law is amended by adding a new section 608 to read as
15 follows:
16 § 608. Additional tax. (a) There is imposed an additional tax upon the
17 amount of an individual's New York taxable income that corresponds to
18 any deduction taken pursuant to section 199A of the internal revenue
19 code, or any successor provision thereto. This section shall not apply
20 to a taxpayer with a federal taxable income below the threshold amount,
21 as defined in section 199A(e) of the internal revenue code, plus fifty
22 thousand dollars for a single filer taxpayer or one hundred thousand
23 dollars in the case of a joint return.
24 (b) The rate of the additional tax imposed pursuant to this section
25 shall be equal to the highest federal income tax rates in effect for the
26 taxable year that would apply to the amount deducted under section 199A
27 of the internal revenue code, or any successor provision thereto, but
28 for the application of such section. The amount of an individual's New
29 York taxable income that corresponds to the amount of any deduction
30 taken pursuant to section 199A is the amount that bears the same
31 relationship to the taxpayer's total New York taxable income as the
32 amount deducted under section 199A bears to the taxpayer's total federal
33 taxable income as determined without regard to such deduction.
34 (c) The additional tax under this section shall be administered, and
35 penalties shall be imposed, in the same manner as the other taxes
36 imposed by this article.
37 § 6. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to taxable
38 years commencing on and after such effective date.
