(i) A credit shall be allowed under this subdivision with respect to tangible personal property and other tangible property, including buildings and structural components of buildings, which are: depreciable pursuant to section one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code, have a useful life of four years or more, are acquired by purchase as defined in section one hundred seventy-nine (d) of the internal revenue code, have a situs in this state and are (A) principally used by the taxpayer in the production of goods by manufacturing, processing, assembling, refining, mining, extracting, farming, agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, viticulture or commercial fishing, (B) industrial waste treatment facilities or air pollution control facilities, used in the taxpayer's trade or business, (C) research and development property, or (D) principally used in the ordinary course of the taxpayer's trade or business as a broker or dealer in connection with the purchase or sale (which shall include but not be limited to the issuance, entering into, assumption, offset, assignment, termination, or transfer) of stocks, bonds or other securities as defined in section four hundred seventy-five (c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, or of commodities as defined in section four hundred seventy-five (e) of the Internal Revenue Code, (E) principally used in the ordinary course of the taxpayer's trade or business of providing investment advisory services for a regulated investment company as defined in section eight hundred fifty-one of the Internal Revenue Code, or lending, loan arrangement or loan origination services to customers in connection with the purchase or sale (which shall include but not be limited to the issuance, entering into, assumption, offset, assignment, termination, or transfer) of securities as defined in section four hundred seventy-five (c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, (F) originally used in the ordinary course of the taxpayer's business as an exchange registered as a national securities exchange within the meaning of sections 3(a)(1) and 6(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or a board of trade as defined in section 1410(a)(1) of the New York Not-for-Profit Corporation Law or as an entity that is wholly owned by one or more such national securities exchanges or boards of trade and that provides automation or technical services thereto, or (G) principally used as a qualified film production facility including qualified film production facilities having a situs in an empire zone designated as such pursuant to article eighteen-B of the general municipal law, where the taxpayer is providing three or more services to any qualified film production company using the facility, including such services as a studio lighting grid, lighting and grip equipment, multi-line phone service, broadband information technology access, industrial scale electrical capacity, food services, security services, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Provided, however, a taxpayer shall not be allowed the credit provided by clauses (D), (E) and (F) of this subparagraph unless (i) eighty percent or more of the employees performing the administrative and support functions resulting from or related to the qualifying uses of such equipment are located in this state or (ii) the average number of employees that perform the administrative and support functions resulting from or related to the qualifying uses of such equipment and are located in this state during the taxable year for which the credit is claimed is equal to or greater than ninety-five percent of the average number of employees that perform these functions and are located in this state during the thirty-six months immediately preceding the year for which the credit is claimed, or (iii) the number of employees located in this state during the taxable year for which the credit is claimed is equal to or greater than ninety percent of the number of employees located in this state on December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-eight or, if the taxpayer was not a calendar year taxpayer in nineteen hundred ninety-eight, the last day of its first taxable year ending after December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-eight. If the taxpayer becomes subject to tax in this state after the taxable year beginning in nineteen hundred ninety-eight, then the taxpayer is not required to satisfy the employment test provided in the preceding sentence of this subparagraph for its first taxable year. For purposes of clause (iii) of this subparagraph the employment test will be based on the number of employees located in this state on the last day of the first taxable year the taxpayer is subject to tax in this state. If the uses of the property must be aggregated to determine whether the property is principally used in qualifying uses, then either each affiliate using the property must satisfy this employment test or this employment test must be satisfied through the aggregation of the employees of the taxpayer, its affiliated regulated broker, dealer, and registered investment adviser using the property. For purposes of this subdivision, the term "goods" shall not include electricity.

2. (ii) For purposes of this paragraph, the following definitions shall apply--

   1. (A) Manufacturing shall mean the process of working raw materials into wares suitable for use or which gives new shapes, new quality or new combinations to matter which already has gone through some artificial process by the use of machinery, tools, appliances and other similar equipment. Property used in the production of goods shall include machinery, equipment or other tangible property which is principally used in the repair and service of other machinery, equipment or other tangible property used principally in the production of goods and shall include all facilities used in the production operation, including storage of material to be used in production and of the products that are produced.
   2. (B) Research and development property shall mean property which is used for purposes of research and development in the experimental or laboratory sense. Such purposes shall not be deemed to include the ordinary testing or inspection of materials or products for quality control, efficiency surveys, management studies, consumer surveys, advertising, promotions, or research in connection with literary, historical or similar projects.
   3. (C) Industrial waste treatment facilities shall mean property constituting facilities for the treatment, neutralization or stabilization of industrial waste and other wastes (as the terms "industrial waste" and "other wastes" are defined in section 17-0105 of the environmental conservation law) from a point immediately preceding the point of such treatment, neutralization or stabilization to the point of disposal, including the necessary pumping and transmitting facilities, but excluding such facilities installed for the primary purpose of salvaging materials which are usable in the manufacturing process or are marketable.
   4. (D) Air pollution control facilities shall mean property constituting facilities which remove, reduce, or render less noxious air contaminants emitted from an air contamination source (as the terms "air contaminant" and "air contamination source" are defined in section 19-0107 of the environmental conservation law) from a point immediately preceding the point of such removal, reduction or rendering to the point of discharge of air, meeting emission standards as established by the department of environmental conservation, but excluding such facilities installed for the primary purpose of salvaging materials which are usable in the manufacturing process or are marketable and excluding those facilities which rely for their efficacy on dilution, dispersion or assimilation of air contaminants in the ambient air after emission. Such term shall further include flue gas desulfurization equipment and attendant sludge disposal facilities, fluidized bed boilers, precombustion coal cleaning facilities or other facilities that conform with this subdivision and which comply with the provisions of the state acid deposition control act set forth in title nine of article nineteen of the environmental conservation law.

3. (iii) However, such credit shall be allowed with respect to industrial waste treatment facilities and air pollution control facilities only on condition that such facilities have been certified by the state commissioner of environmental conservation or his designated representative, pursuant to subdivision one of section 17-0707 or subdivision one of section 19-0309 of the environmental conservation law, as complying with applicable provisions of the environmental conservation law, the public health law, the state sanitary code and codes, rules, regulations, permits or orders issued pursuant thereto.

(e)

1. (1) With respect to property which is depreciable pursuant to section one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code but is not subject to the provisions of section one hundred sixty-eight of such code and which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subdivision which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the months of useful life. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of its useful life, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. Provided, however, if such property is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use after it has been in qualified use for more than twelve consecutive years, it shall not be necessary to add back the credit as provided in this subparagraph. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the months of useful life. For purposes of this subparagraph, useful life of property shall be the same as the taxpayer uses for depreciation purposes when computing his federal income tax liability.
2. (2) Except with respect to that property to which subparagraph four of this paragraph applies, with respect to three-year property, as defined in subsection (e) of section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code, which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subdivision which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to thirty-six. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of thirty-six months, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to thirty-six.
3. (3) Except with respect to that property to which subparagraph four of this paragraph applies, with respect to property subject to the provisions of section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code, other than three-year property as defined in subsection (e) of such section one hundred sixty-eight which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subdivision which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to sixty. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of sixty months, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to sixty.
4. (4) With respect to any property to which section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code applies, which is a building or a structural component of a building and which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subdivision which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the total number of months over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under the internal revenue code. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the period over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under the internal revenue code, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. Provided, however, if such property is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use after it has been in qualified use for more than twelve consecutive years, it shall not be necessary to add back the credit as provided in this subparagraph. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the total number of months over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under the internal revenue code.
5. (5) For purposes of this paragraph, property (i) which is described in subparagraph two, three or four of this paragraph, and (ii) which is subject to subparagraph eleven of paragraph (a) of subdivision nine and subparagraph ten of paragraph (b) of subdivision nine of section two hundred eight of this chapter, shall be treated as property which is depreciable pursuant to section one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code but is not subject to section one hundred sixty-eight of such code.
6. (6) For purposes of this paragraph, where a credit is allowed with respect to an air pollution control facility on the basis of a certificate of compliance issued pursuant to the environmental conservation law and the certificate is revoked pursuant to subdivision three of section 19-0309 of the environmental conservation law, such revocation shall constitute a disposal or cessation of qualified use, unless such facility is described in clause (A) or (C) of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of this subdivision. Also for purposes of this subparagraph, the use of an air pollution control facility or an industrial waste treatment facility for the primary purpose of salvaging materials which are usable in the manufacturing process or are marketable shall constitute a cessation of qualified use, unless such facility is described in clause (A) or (C) of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of this subdivision.
7. (7) For taxable years commencing on or after January first, nineteen hundred eighty-seven, the amount required to be added back pursuant to this paragraph shall be augmented by an amount equal to the product of such amount and the underpayment rate of interest (without regard to compounding), set by the commissioner of taxation and finance pursuant to subsection (e) of section one thousand ninety-six, in effect on the last day of the taxable year.
8. (8) If, as of the close of the taxable year, there is a net increase with respect to the taxpayer in the amount of nonqualified nonrecourse financing (within the meaning of section 46(c) (8) of the internal revenue code) with respect to any property with respect to which the credit under this subdivision was limited based on attributable nonqualified nonrecourse financing, then an amount equal to the decrease in such credit which would have resulted from reducing, by the amount of such net increase, the cost or other basis taken into account with respect to such property must be added back in such taxable year. The amount of nonqualified nonrecourse financing shall not be treated as increased by reason of a transfer of (or agreement to transfer) any evidence of an indebtedness if such transfer occurs (or such agreement is entered into) more than one year after the date such indebtedness was incurred.

9. (9)

   1. (A) Where property with respect to which credit has been allowed under this subdivision is disposed of by transfer to the taxpayer in a qualified transaction, and such disposition requires, pursuant to this paragraph (without regard to this subparagraph) that such credit be decreased (where the disposition occurs in the taxable year in which the property is placed in service by the transferor) or that a portion of such credit be added back by the transferor, then clause (B) or clause (C) of this subparagraph shall apply.
   2. (B) If the taxpayer and the transferor jointly elect, at such time and in such manner as the commissioner may prescribe, the following shall apply:
   3. (i) such portion shall not be required to be added back by the transferor,
   4. (ii) the amount of unused credit shall not be deducted from tax otherwise due by the transferor on any return (including an amended return), and shall not be so deducted as part of any audit adjustment or any other determination, and
   5. (iii) the amount of unused credit shall be treated as an amount of credit of the taxpayer under this subdivision carried forward by the taxpayer to its taxable year in which such transfer occurred, as if the credit allowed to the transferor with respect to such property had originally been allowed to the taxpayer both as to amount and first date of qualified use, and as if the period of qualified use by the transferor prior to the transfer had been a period of such use by the taxpayer. Any amount of credit treated as carried forward to the taxable year pursuant to this subparagraph shall be applied as provided in clause (H) of this subparagraph.
   6. (C) If the taxpayer and the transferor do not make the election described in clause (B) of this subparagraph, then the amount of credit required pursuant to this paragraph to be added back by the transferor shall be treated as an amount of credit of the taxpayer under this subdivision to be carried forward by the taxpayer to its taxable year in which such transfer occurred, as if the credit allowed to the transferor with respect to such property had originally been allowed to the taxpayer both as to amount and first date of qualified use, and as if the period of qualified use by the transferor prior to the transfer had been a period of such use by the taxpayer. Any amount of credit treated as carried forward to the taxable year pursuant to this subparagraph shall be applied as provided in clause (H) of this subparagraph.
   7. (D) The term "qualified transaction" shall mean a transaction which is a reorganization described in section 368(a)(1)(D) of the internal revenue code, wherein (i) substantially all of the assets of the transferor necessary to continue the operation of a division or divisions of the transferor are transferred to the taxpayer in a transaction to which section 351 of such code applies, and (ii) stock or securities of the taxpayer held by the transferor are distributed pursuant to section 355 of such code.
   8. (E) The term "unused credit" shall mean the amount of credit shown as carried forward to the transaction year on the transferor's tax return for its taxable year immediately preceding the transaction year with respect to the property described in clause (A) of this subparagraph.
   9. (F) The term "transaction year" means the taxable year in which the qualified transaction occurs.
   10. (G) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, in the case of allowance of credit pursuant to this subparagraph to a taxpayer the commissioner shall have the authority to reveal to the taxpayer any information, with respect to the credit of the transferor, which is the basis for the denial in whole or in part of the credit claimed by such taxpayer.
   11. (H) Where a credit is allowed to a taxpayer pursuant to this subparagraph, the taxpayer may treat the amount of such credit as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded in accordance with the provisions of section ten hundred eighty-six of this chapter, provided, however, the provisions of subsection (c) of section ten hundred eighty-eight of this chapter notwithstanding, no interest shall be paid thereon. Such credit shall be allowed against the tax imposed by this article with respect to the second succeeding taxable year next following the transaction year, provided that not more than one-fourth of the amount of such credit may be applied by the taxpayer, whether to reduce tax otherwise due or to be treated as an overpayment to be credited or refunded, with respect to such second succeeding taxable year and each of the next three taxable years following such second succeeding taxable year.

(f) For purposes of paragraph (d) of this subdivision, a new business shall include any corporation, except a corporation which:

1. (1) over fifty percent of the number of shares of stock entitling the holders thereof to vote for the election of directors or trustees is owned or controlled, either directly or indirectly, by a taxpayer subject to tax under this article; section one hundred eighty-three, one hundred eighty-four or one hundred eighty-five of article nine; or article thirty-three of this chapter; or
2. (2) is substantially similar in operation and in ownership to a business entity (or entities) taxable, or previously taxable, under this article; section one hundred eighty-three, one hundred eighty-four, former section one hundred eighty-five or former section one hundred eighty-six of article nine; article thirty-two of this chapter as such article was in effect on December thirty-first, two thousand fourteen; article thirty-three of this chapter; article twenty-three of this chapter or which would have been subject to tax under such article twenty-three (as such article was in effect on January first, nineteen hundred eighty) or the income (or losses) of which is (or was) includable under article twenty-two of this chapter whereby the intent and purpose of this paragraph and paragraph (d) of this subdivision with respect to refunding of credit to new business would be evaded; or
3. (3) has been subject to tax under this article or former article thirty-two of this chapter for more than five taxable years (excluding short taxable years).
4. 2. Employment Incentive Credit (EIC). (a)(i) Application of credit. Where a taxpayer is allowed a credit under subdivision one of this section, other than at the optional rate applicable to research and development property, the taxpayer shall be allowed a credit for each of the two years next succeeding the taxable year for which the credit under such subdivision one is allowed with respect to such property, whether or not deductible in such taxable year or in subsequent taxable years pursuant to paragraph (d) of such subdivision one. Provided, however, that the credit allowable under this subdivision for any taxable year shall be allowed only if the average number of employees during such taxable year is at least one hundred one percent of the average number of employees during the employment base year. The employment base year shall be the taxable year immediately preceding the taxable year for which the credit under such subdivision one is allowed except that if the taxpayer was not subject to tax and did not have a taxable year immediately preceding the taxable year for which the credit under such subdivision one of this section is allowed, the employment base year shall be the taxable year in which the credit under such subdivision one is allowed.
5. (ii) Amount of credit. The amount of the credit allowed under this subdivision shall be as set forth in the following table: Average number of employees during the Credit allowed under this taxable year expressed as a percentage subdivision expressed as a of average employees in employment percentage of the applicable base years investment credit basis Less than 102% 1.5% At least 102% and less than 103% 2% At least 103% 2.5%
6. (b) Average number of employees. The average number of employees in a taxable year shall be computed by ascertaining the number of employees within the state, except general executive officers, employed by the taxpayer on the thirty-first day of March, the thirtieth day of June, the thirtieth day of September and the thirty-first day of December in the taxable year, by adding together the number of employees ascertained on each of such dates and dividing the sum so obtained by the number of such above mentioned dates occurring within the taxable year. However, with respect to the employment base year, there shall be excluded therefrom any employee with respect to whom a credit provided for under subdivision six of this section is claimed, for the taxable year, based on employment within a zone equivalent area designated as such pursuant to article eighteen-B of the general municipal law.
7. (c) Carryover. In no event shall the credit herein provided for be allowed in an amount which will reduce the tax payable to less than the fixed dollar minimum amount prescribed in paragraph (d) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten of this article. However, if the amount of credit allowable under this subdivision for any taxable year reduces the tax to such amount or if the taxpayer otherwise pays tax based on the fixed dollar minimum amount, any amount of credit not deductible in such taxable year may be carried over to the fifteen taxable years immediately following such taxable year and may be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or years.
8. 3. Empire zone investment tax credit (EZ-ITC). (a) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit, to be computed as herein provided, against the tax imposed by this article if the taxpayer has been certified pursuant to article eighteen-B of the general municipal law.

Provided, however, that in the case of an acquisition, construction, reconstruction or erection which was commenced during such period and continued or completed subsequently, such credit shall be ten percent of the portion of the cost or other basis for federal income tax purposes attributable to such period, which portion shall be ascertained by multiplying such cost or basis by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the expenditures paid or incurred during such period for such purposes and the denominator of which shall be the total of all expenditures paid or incurred for such acquisition, construction, reconstruction or erection.

9. (b) Qualified property. A credit shall be allowed under this subdivision with respect to tangible personal property and other tangible property, including buildings and structural components of buildings, which

   1. (i) are depreciable pursuant to section one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code,

(vi) For purposes of clauses (D), (E), (E-1) and (F) of subparagraph (v) of this paragraph, property purchased by a taxpayer affiliated with a regulated broker, dealer, registered investment adviser, national securities exchange or board of trade is allowed a credit under this subdivision if the property is used by its affiliated regulated broker, dealer, registered investment adviser or national securities exchange or board of trade in accordance with this subdivision. For purposes of determining if the property is principally used in qualifying uses, the uses by the taxpayer described in clauses (D), (E) and (E-1) of subparagraph (v) of this paragraph may be aggregated. In addition, the uses by the taxpayer, its affiliated regulated broker, dealer and registered investment adviser under any of those clauses may be aggregated. Provided, however, a taxpayer shall not be allowed the credit provided by clauses (D), (E), (E-1) and (F) of subparagraph (v) of this paragraph unless

       1. (I) eighty percent or more of the employees performing the administrative and support functions resulting from or related to the qualifying uses of such equipment are located in this state, or
       2. (II) the average number of employees that perform the administrative and support functions resulting from or related to the qualifying uses of such equipment and are located in this state during the taxable year for which the credit is claimed is equal to or greater than ninety-five percent of the average number of employees that perform these functions and are located in this state during the thirty-six months immediately preceding the year for which the credit is claimed, or
       3. (III) the number of employees located in this state during the taxable year for which the credit is claimed is equal to or greater than ninety percent of the number of employees located in this state on December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-eight or, if the taxpayer was not a calendar year taxpayer in nineteen hundred ninety-eight, the last day of its first taxable year ending after December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-eight. If the taxpayer becomes subject to tax in this state after the taxable year beginning in nineteen hundred ninety-eight, then the taxpayer is not required to satisfy the employment test provided in the preceding sentence of this subparagraph for its first taxable year.
   13. (vii) For the purposes of clause (III) of subparagraph (vi) of this paragraph the employment test will be based on the number of employees located in this state on the last day of the first taxable year the taxpayer is subject to tax in this state. If the uses of the property must be aggregated to determine whether the property is principally used in qualifying uses, then either each affiliate using the property must satisfy this employment test or this employment test must be satisfied through the aggregation of the employees of the taxpayer, its affiliated regulated broker, dealer, and registered investment adviser using the property.

A taxpayer shall not be allowed a credit under this subdivision with respect to any tangible personal property and other tangible property, including buildings and structural components of buildings, which it leases to any other person or corporation except where a taxpayer leases property to an affiliated regulated broker, dealer, registered investment adviser, national securities exchange or board of trade or other entity described in clause (F) of subparagraph (v) of paragraph (b) of this subdivision that uses such property in accordance with clause (D), (E), (E-1) or (F) of subparagraph (v) of paragraph (b) of this subdivision. For purposes of the preceding sentence, any contract or agreement to lease or rent or for a license to use such property shall be considered a lease. Provided, however, in determining whether a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit under this subdivision with respect to such property, any election made with respect to such property pursuant to the provisions of paragraph eight of subsection (f) of section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code, as such paragraph was in effect for agreements entered into prior to January first, nineteen hundred eighty-four, shall be disregarded.
11. (d) Carryover. The credit allowed under this subdivision for any taxable year shall not reduce the tax due for such year to less than the fixed dollar minimum amount prescribed in paragraph (d) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten of this article.

In lieu of such carryover, any such taxpayer which qualifies as a new business under paragraph (f) of subdivision one of this section may elect, on its report for its taxable year with respect to which such credit is allowed, to treat fifty percent of the amount of such carryover as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded in accordance with the provisions of section one thousand eighty-six of this chapter. In addition, any taxpayer which is approved as the owner of a qualified investment project or a significant capital investment project pursuant to subdivision (w) of section nine hundred fifty-nine of the general municipal law, on its report for its taxable year with respect to which such credit is allowed, in lieu of such carryover, may elect to treat fifty percent of the amount of such carryover which is attributable to the credit allowed under this subdivision for property which is part of such project as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded in accordance with the provisions of section one thousand eighty-six of this chapter. Provided, however, such owner shall be allowed such refund for a maximum of ten taxable years with respect to such qualified investment project and each significant capital investment project, starting with the first taxable year in which property comprising such project is placed in service. Provided, further, however, the provisions of subsection (c) of section one thousand eighty-eight of this chapter notwithstanding, no interest shall be paid thereon.
12. (d-1) Any carryover of a credit from prior taxable years will not be allowed if an empire zone retention certificate is not issued pursuant to subdivision (w) of section nine hundred fifty-nine of the general municipal law to the empire zone enterprise which is the basis of the credit.
13. (e) At the option of the taxpayer, the taxpayer may choose to claim the credit described in paragraph (a) of this subdivision for property which also qualifies for the credit provided under subdivision one of this section. A taxpayer shall not be allowed a credit under this subdivision with respect to any property described in paragraph (a) of this subdivision if a credit is taken pursuant to subdivision one of this section.
14. (f) Recapture. (i) With respect to property which is depreciable pursuant to section one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code but is not subject to the provisions of section one hundred sixty-eight of such code and which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subdivision which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the months of useful life. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of its useful life, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. Provided, however, if such property is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use after it has been in qualified use for more than twelve consecutive years, it shall not be necessary to add back the credit as provided in this subparagraph. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the months of useful life. For purposes of this subparagraph, useful life of property shall be the same as the taxpayer uses for depreciation purposes when computing his federal income tax liability.
15. (ii) Except with respect to that property to which subparagraph (iv) of this paragraph applies, with respect to three-year property, as defined in subsection (e) of section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code, which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subdivision which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to thirty-six. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of thirty-six months, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to thirty-six.
16. (iii) Except with respect to that property to which subparagraph (iv) of this paragraph applies, with respect to property subject to the provisions of section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code other than three-year property as defined in subsection (e) of such section one hundred sixty-eight which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subdivision which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to sixty. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of sixty months, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to sixty.
17. (iv) With respect to any property to which section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code applies, which is a building or a structural component of a building and which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subdivision which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the total number of months over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under the internal revenue code. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the period over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under the internal revenue code, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. Provided, however, if such property is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use after it has been in qualified use for more than twelve consecutive years, it shall not be necessary to add back the credit as provided in this subparagraph. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the total number of months over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under the internal revenue code.
18. (v) For purposes of this paragraph, disposal or cessation of qualified use shall not be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of the termination or expiration of an empire zone's designation as such. (vi)(A) For purposes of this paragraph, the decertification of a business enterprise with respect to an empire zone shall constitute a disposal or cessation of qualified use of the property on which the credit was taken which is located in the zone to which the decertification applies, on the effective date of such decertification.
19. (B) Where a business enterprise has been decertified based on a finding pursuant to clause one, two, or five of subdivision (a) of section nine hundred fifty-nine of the general municipal law, the amount required to be added back by reason of this paragraph shall be (I) the amount of credit, with respect to the property which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use, which was deducted from the taxpayer's tax otherwise due under this article for all prior taxable years, reduced (but not below zero) by (II) the credit allowed for actual use. For purposes of this subparagraph, the attribution to specific property of credit amounts deducted from tax shall be established in accordance with the date of placement in service of such property in the empire zone.
20. (C) In no event shall the amount of the credit allowed pursuant to this subdivision be rendered, solely by reason of clause (A) of this subparagraph, less than the amount of the credit to which the taxpayer would otherwise be entitled under subdivision one of this section.
21. (D) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subdivision, in the case of a business enterprise which has been decertified, any amount of credit allowed with respect to the property of such business enterprise located in the zone to which the decertification applies which is carried over pursuant to paragraph (d) of this subdivision shall not be carried over beyond the seventh taxable year next following the taxable year with respect to which the credit provided for in this subdivision was allowed.
22. (vii) For purposes of this paragraph, where a credit is allowed with respect to an air pollution control facility on the basis of a certificate of compliance issued pursuant to the environmental conservation law and the certificate is revoked pursuant to subdivision three of section 19-0309 of the environmental conservation law, such revocation shall constitute a disposal or cessation of qualified use, except with respect to property contained in or comprising such facility which is described in clause (A), (B), or (C) of subparagraph (v) of paragraph (b) of this subdivision other than as part of or comprising an air pollution control facility. Also for purposes of this paragraph, the use of an air pollution control facility or an industrial waste treatment facility for the primary purpose of salvaging materials which are usable in the manufacturing process or are marketable shall constitute a cessation of qualified use, except with respect to property contained in or comprising such facility which is described in clause (A) or (C) of subparagraph (v) of paragraph (b) of this subdivision.
23. (viii) Except as provided in this subparagraph, this paragraph shall not apply to a credit allowed by this subdivision to a taxpayer that is a partner in a partnership in the case of manufacturing property; provided, at the time such property was placed in service by such partnership in an empire zone the basis for federal income tax purposes for such property (or a project that includes such property) equaled or exceeded three hundred million dollars and such partner owned its partnership interest for at least three years from the date such property was placed in service. If such property ceases to be in qualified use after it is placed in service, this paragraph shall apply to such partner in the year such property ceases to be in qualifying use.
24. (ix) If a taxpayer, which is approved by the commissioner of economic development as the owner of a qualified investment project or a significant capital investment project pursuant to subdivision (w) of section nine hundred fifty-nine of the general municipal law, fails to (A) create at least the minimum number of jobs at such project as required by the provisions of subdivision (s) or (t) of section nine hundred fifty-seven and subdivision (w) of section nine hundred fifty-nine of the general municipal law or (B) place in service property comprising such qualified investment project or significant capital investment project with a basis for federal income tax purposes equaling or exceeding the applicable minimum required basis as provided in such subdivision (s) or (t), whichever is relevant, by the last day of the fifth taxable year following the taxable year in which a credit is first allowed under this subdivision for the property which comprises such qualified investment project or such significant capital investment project, the total amount of the credit allowed under this subdivision for all taxable years with respect to the property which comprises such project which has been refunded to such taxpayer shall be added back in such taxable year.

7. Qualified emerging technology company employment credit. (a) Application of credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit, to be computed as hereinafter provided, against the tax imposed by this article, provided:

1. (i) the taxpayer is a qualified emerging technology company pursuant to the provisions of section thirty-one hundred two-e of the public authorities law; and
2. (ii) the average number of individuals employed full time by the taxpayer in New York state during the taxable year is at least one hundred one percent of the taxpayer's base year employment. For the purposes of this subdivision, "base year employment" means the average number of individuals employed full-time by the taxpayer in the state during the three taxable years immediately preceding the first taxable year in which the credit is claimed. Where the taxpayer provided full-time employment within the state during only a portion of such three-year period, then the first effective date for the company to take advantage of this credit shall be the next year following the first full taxable year that the company had full-time employment in New York state. For the purposes of this paragraph the term "three years" shall be deemed to refer instead to the prior year's full-time employment after the first year and the average of the first eight quarters of employment after the first two taxable years in New York state.
3. (b) Credit limitation. The credit shall be allowed only in the first taxable year in which the credit is claimed and in each of the next two taxable years, provided that the conditions of paragraph (a) of this subdivision are satisfied in each taxable year.
4. (c) Average number of individuals employed full-time. For the purposes of this subdivision, average number of individuals employed full-time shall be computed by adding the number of such individuals employed by the taxpayer at the end of each quarter during each taxable year or other applicable period and dividing the sum so obtained by the number of such quarters occurring within such taxable year or other applicable period; provided however, except that in computing base year employment, there shall be excluded therefrom any employee with respect to whom a credit provided for under subdivision six of this section is claimed for the taxable year.
5. (d) Amount of credit. The amount of the credit shall equal the product of one thousand dollars times the number of individuals employed full-time by the taxpayer in the taxable year that are in excess of one hundred percent of the taxpayer's base year employment.
6. (e) Carryover. The credit allowed under this subdivision for any taxable year shall not reduce the tax due for such year to less than the fixed dollar minimum amount prescribed in paragraph (d) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten of this article. However, if the amount of credit allowed under this subdivision for any taxable year reduces the tax to such amount or if the taxpayer otherwise pays tax based on the fixed dollar minimum amount, any amount of credit thus not deductible in such taxable year shall be treated as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded in accordance with the provisions of section one thousand eighty-six of this chapter. Provided, however, the provisions of subsection (c) of section one thousand eighty-eight of this chapter notwithstanding, no interest shall be paid thereon.

8. Qualified emerging technology company capital tax credit. (a) Amount of credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed by this article. The amount of the credit shall be equal to one of the following percentages, per each qualified investment in a qualified emerging technology company as defined in section thirty-one hundred two-e of the public authorities law, made during the taxable year, and certified by the commissioner, either:

1. (1) ten percent of qualified investments in qualified emerging technology companies, except for investments made by or on behalf of an owner of the business, including, but not limited to, a stockholder, partner or sole proprietor, or any related person, as defined in subparagraph (C) of paragraph three of subsection (b) of section four hundred sixty-five of the internal revenue code, and provided, however, that the taxpayer certifies to the commissioner that the qualified investment will not be sold, transferred, traded, or disposed of during the four years following the year in which the credit is first claimed; or
2. (2) twenty percent of qualified investments in qualified emerging technology companies, except for investments made by or on behalf of an owner of the business, including, but not limited to, a stockholder, partner or sole proprietor, or any related person, as defined in subparagraph (C) of paragraph three of subsection (b) of section four hundred sixty-five of the internal revenue code, and provided, however, that the taxpayer certifies to the commissioner that the qualified investment will not be sold, transferred, traded, or disposed of during the nine years following the year in which the credit is first claimed.
3. (b) Qualified investment. "Qualified investment" means the contribution of property to a corporation in exchange for original issue capital stock or other ownership interest, the contribution of property to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership, and similar contributions in the case of a business entity not in corporate or partnership form in exchange for an ownership interest in such entity. The total amount of credit allowable to a taxpayer under this provision for all years, taken in the aggregate, shall not exceed one hundred fifty thousand dollars in the case of investments made pursuant to subparagraph one of paragraph (a) of this subdivision and shall not exceed three hundred thousand dollars in the case of investments made pursuant to subparagraph two of paragraph (a) of this subdivision.
4. (c) Carryover. In no event shall the credit and carryover of such credit allowed under this subdivision for any taxable year, in the aggregate, reduce the tax due for such year to less than the fixed dollar minimum amount prescribed in paragraph (d) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten of this chapter. However, if the amount of credit or carryovers of such credit, or both, allowed under this subdivision for any taxable year reduces the tax to such amount or if the taxpayer otherwise pays tax based on the fixed dollar minimum amount, or if any part of the credit or carryovers of such credit may not be deducted from the tax otherwise due by reason of the final sentence of this paragraph, any amount of credit or carryovers of such credit thus not deductible in such taxable year may be carried over to the following year or years and may be deducted from the tax for such year or years. In addition, the amount of such credit, and carryovers of such credit to the taxable year, deducted from the tax otherwise due may not, in the aggregate, exceed fifty percent of the tax imposed under section two hundred nine of this article computed without regard to any credit provided for by this section.
5. (d) Recapture. (1) Where a taxpayer sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of corporate stock, a partnership interest or other ownership interest arising from the making of a qualified investment which was the basis, in whole or in part, for the allowance of the credit provided for under subparagraph one of paragraph (a) of this subdivision, or where an investment which was the basis for such allowance is, in whole or in part, recovered by such taxpayer, and such disposition or recovery occurs during the taxable year or within forty-eight months from the close of the taxable year with respect to which such credit is allowed, the taxpayer shall add back, with respect to the taxable year in which the disposition or recovery described above occurred, the required portion of the credit originally allowed.
6. (2) Where a taxpayer sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of corporate stock, a partnership interest or other ownership interest arising from the making of a qualified investment which was the basis, in whole or in part, for the allowance of the credit provided for under subparagraph two of paragraph (a) of this subdivision, or where an investment which was the basis for such allowance is in any manner, in whole or in part, recovered by such taxpayer, and such disposition or recovery occurs during the taxable year or within one hundred eight months from the close of the taxable year with respect to which such credit is allowed, the taxpayer shall add back, with respect to the taxable year in which the disposition or recovery described in subparagraph one of this paragraph occurred the required portion of the credit originally allowed.
7. (3) The required portion of the credit originally allowed shall be the product of (A) the portion of such credit attributable to the property disposed of and (B) the applicable percentage.

8. (4) The applicable percentage shall be:

   1. (A) for credits allowed pursuant to subparagraph one of paragraph (a) of this subdivision:
   2. (i) one hundred percent, if the disposition or recovery occurs within the taxable year with respect to which the credit is allowed or within twelve months of the end of such taxable year,
   3. (ii) seventy-five percent, if the disposition or recovery occurs more than twelve but not more than twenty-four months after the end of the taxable year with respect to which the credit is allowed,
   4. (iii) fifty percent, if the disposition or recovery occurs more than twenty-four months but not more than thirty-six months after the end of the taxable year with respect to which the credit is allowed, or
   5. (iv) twenty-five percent, if the disposition or recovery occurs more than thirty-six months but not more than forty-eight months after the end of the taxable year with respect to which the credit is allowed; or
   6. (B) for credits allowed pursuant to subparagraph two of paragraph (a) of this subdivision:
   7. (i) one hundred percent, if the disposition or recovery occurs within the taxable year with respect to which the credit is allowed or within twelve months of the end of such taxable year,
   8. (ii) eighty percent, if the disposition or recovery occurs more than twelve but not more than forty-eight months after the end of the taxable year with respect to which the credit is allowed,
   9. (iii) sixty percent, if the disposition or recovery occurs more than forty-eight months but not more than seventy-two months after the end of the taxable year with respect to which the credit is allowed,
   10. (iv) forty percent, if the disposition or recovery occurs more than seventy-two months but not more than ninety-six months after the end of the taxable year with respect to which the credit is allowed, or
   11. (v) twenty percent, if the disposition or recovery occurs more than ninety-six months but not more than one hundred eight months after the end of the taxable year with respect to which the credit is allowed.

10. Credit for servicing certain mortgages. (a) General. Every taxpayer meeting the requirements of the state of New York mortgage agency applicable to the servicing of mortgages acquired by such agency pursuant to the state of New York mortgage agency act, which shall have entered into a contract with the state of New York mortgage agency to service mortgages acquired by such agency pursuant to the state of New York mortgage agency act, shall have credited to it annually an amount equal to two and ninety-three one hundredths per centum of the total principal and interest collected by the taxpayer during its taxable year on each such mortgage secured by a lien on real estate improved by a one-family to four-family residential structure and an amount equal to the interest collected by the taxpayer during its taxable year on each such mortgage secured by a lien on real property improved by a structure occupied as the residence of five or more families living independently of each other, multiplied by a fraction the denominator of which shall be the interest rate payable on the mortgage (computed to five decimal places) and the numerator of which shall be .00125 in the case of such a mortgage acquired by such agency for less than one million dollars, and ..00100 in the case of such a mortgage acquired by such agency for one million dollars or more. In no event shall the credit allowed under this subdivision reduce the tax to less than the fixed dollar minimum amount prescribed in paragraph (d) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten of this article. In computing such tax credit for the servicing of mortgages on one-family to four-family residential structures, the taxpayer shall not be entitled to credit for the collection of curtailment or payments in discharge of any such mortgage. For the purposes of this subdivision, (b)(i) a "curtailment" shall mean amounts paid by mortgagors

1. (A) in excess of the monthly constant due during the month of collection and
2. (B) in reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the mortgage; in the absence of clear evidence to the contrary, amounts paid in excess of the monthly constant due during the month of collection shall be deemed to be in reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the mortgage; and
3. (ii) "monthly constant" shall mean the amount of principal and interest which is due and payable according to the mortgage documents on each periodic payment date.

(iv) Related persons. (A) For purposes of subparagraph (iii) of this paragraph, the term "related person" means:

1. (I) a corporation subject to tax under this article, where the taxpayer and the corporation are members of the same controlled group, as defined in section 267(f) of the internal revenue code;
2. (II) an individual, partnership, estate or trust, where more than fifty percent in value of the outstanding stock of the taxpayer is owned, directly or indirectly, by or for such individual, partnership, estate or trust or by or for the grantor of such trust;
3. (III) a corporation subject to tax under this article, or a partnership, estate or trust, if the same person owns more than fifty percent in value of the outstanding stock of the taxpayer and more than fifty percent in value of the outstanding stock of the corporation, or more than fifty percent of the capital or profits interest in the partnership, or more than fifty percent of the beneficial interest in the estate or trust;
4. (IV) a partnership, estate or trust of which the taxpayer owns, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent of the capital, profits or beneficial interest.

5. (B) In determining whether a person is a related person within the meaning of this subparagraph:

   1. (I) stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for a corporation, partnership, estate or trust shall be considered as being owned proportionately by or for its shareholders, partners or beneficiaries;
   2. (II) an individual shall be considered as owning the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for his spouse;
   3. (III) stock constructively owned by a person by reason of the application of item (I) of this clause shall, for the purpose of applying item (I) or (II) of this clause, be treated as actually owned by such person.
   4. (f) Income limitation. (i) In the event that the modified entire net income of the taxpayer exceeds two hundred thousand dollars, the allowable school district property taxes under paragraph (a) of this subdivision shall be the eligible taxes under subparagraph (i) of paragraph (e) of this subdivision reduced by the product of the amount of such eligible taxes and a percentage, such percentage to be determined by multiplying one hundred percent by a fraction, the numerator of which is the lesser of one hundred thousand dollars or the excess of the taxpayer's modified entire net income over two hundred thousand dollars and the denominator of which is one hundred thousand dollars. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term "eligible taxes", where the acreage limitation of paragraph (e) of this subdivision does not apply, shall mean the total school district property taxes paid during the taxable year.
   5. (ii) The term "modified entire net income" means the entire net income for the taxable year reduced by the amount of principal paid on farm indebtedness during the taxable year. The term "farm indebtedness" means debt incurred or refinanced which is secured by farm property, where the proceeds of the debt are disbursed for expenditures incurred in the business of farming.
   6. (g) Carryover. In no event shall the credit provided herein be allowed in an amount which will reduce the tax payable to less than the fixed dollar minimum amount prescribed in paragraph (d) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten of this article. If, however, the amount of credit allowable under this subdivision for any taxable year reduces the tax to such amount or if the taxpayer otherwise pays tax based on the fixed dollar minimum amount, any amount of credit not deductible in such taxable year may be carried over to the following year or years and may be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or years. Provided, however, in lieu of carrying over the unused portion of such credit, the taxpayer may elect to treat such unused portion as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded in accordance with the provisions of section one thousand eighty-six of this chapter except that no interest shall be paid on such overpayment.
   7. (h) Nonqualified use. (i) No credit in conversion year. In the event that qualified agricultural property is converted by the taxpayer to nonqualified use, credit under this subdivision shall not be allowed with respect to such property for the taxable year of conversion (the conversion year).
   8. (ii) Credit recapture. If the conversion by the taxpayer of qualified agricultural property to nonqualified use occurs during the period of the two taxable years following the taxable year for which the credit under this subdivision was first claimed with respect to such property, the credit allowed with respect to such property for the taxable years prior to the conversion year must be added back in the conversion year. Where the property converted includes land, and where the conversion is of only a portion of such land, the credit allowed with respect to the property converted shall be determined by multiplying the entire credit under this subdivision for the taxable years prior to the conversion year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the acreage converted and the denominator of which is the entire acreage of such land owned by the taxpayer immediately prior to the conversion.
   9. (iii) Exception to recapture. Subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph shall not apply to the conversion of property where the conversion is by reason of involuntary conversion, within the meaning of section one thousand thirty-three of the internal revenue code.
   10. (iv) Conversion to nonqualified use. For purposes of this paragraph, a sale or other disposition of qualified agricultural property alone shall not constitute a conversion to a nonqualified use.

       2. (2) who has worked on a full-time basis for the employer who is claiming the credit for at least one hundred eighty days or four hundred hours.
   15. (c) Amount of credit. Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this subdivision, the amount of credit shall be thirty-five percent of the first six thousand dollars in qualified first-year wages earned by each qualified employee. "Qualified first-year wages" means wages paid or incurred by the taxpayer during the taxable year to qualified employees which are attributable, with respect to any such employee, to services rendered during the one-year period beginning with the day the employee begins work for the taxpayer.
   16. (d) Credit where federal work opportunity tax credit applies. With respect to any qualified employee whose qualified first-year wages under paragraph (c) of this subdivision also constitute qualified first-year wages for purposes of the work opportunity tax credit for vocational rehabilitation referrals under section fifty-one of the internal revenue code, the amount of credit under this subdivision shall be thirty-five percent of the first six thousand dollars in qualified second-year wages earned by each such employee. "Qualified second-year wages" means wages paid or incurred by the taxpayer during the taxable year to qualified employees which are attributable, with respect to any such employee, to services rendered during the one-year period beginning one year after the employee begins work for the taxpayer.
   17. (e) Carryover. The credit allowed under this subdivision for any taxable year shall not reduce the tax due for such year to less than the fixed dollar minimum amount prescribed in paragraph (d) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten of this chapter. However, if the amount of credit allowable under this subdivision for any taxable year reduces the tax to such amount or if the taxpayer otherwise pays tax based on the fixed dollar minimum amount, any amount of credit not deductible in such taxable year may be carried over to the following year or years, and may be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or years.
   18. (f) Coordination with federal work opportunity tax credit. The provisions of section fifty-one and fifty-two of the internal revenue code, as such sections applied on October first, nineteen hundred ninety-six, that apply to the federal work opportunity tax credit for vocational rehabilitation referrals shall apply to the credit under this subdivision to the extent that such sections are consistent with the specific provisions of this subdivision, provided that in the event of a conflict the provisions of this subdivision shall control.
   19. 13. Credit for purchase of an automated external defibrillator.

   21. (b) Carryover. The credit allowed under this subdivision for any year shall not reduce the tax due for such year to less than the fixed dollar minimum amount prescribed in paragraph (d) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten of this article. If, however, the amount of credit allowable under this subdivision for any taxable year reduces the tax to such amount or if the taxpayer otherwise pays tax based on the fixed dollar minimum amount, any amount of credit not deductible in such taxable year may be carried over to the following year or years and may be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or years.

The credit and carryovers of such credit allowed under this subdivision for any taxable year shall not, in the aggregate, reduce the tax due for such year to less than the fixed dollar minimum amount prescribed in paragraph (d) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten of this article. However, if the amount of credit or carryovers of such credit, or both, allowed under this subdivision for any taxable year reduces the tax to such amount or if the taxpayer otherwise pays tax based on the fixed dollar minimum amount, any amount of credit or carryovers of such credit thus not deductible in such taxable year may be carried over to the following year or years and may be deducted from the tax for such year or years.

This credit will not be allowed if the real property taxes that are the basis for this credit are included in the calculation of another credit claimed by the taxpayer.

   95. (b)

       1. (1) For purposes of this subdivision, the term real property tax means a charge imposed upon real property by or on behalf of a county, city, town, village or school district for municipal or school district purposes, provided that the charge is levied for the general public welfare by the proper taxing authorities at a like rate against all property over which such authorities have jurisdiction, and provided that where taxes are levied pursuant to article eighteen or nineteen of the real property tax law, the property must have been taxed at the rate determined for the class in which it is contained, as provided by such article eighteen or nineteen, whichever is applicable. The term real property tax does not include a charge for local benefits, including any portion of that charge that is properly allocated to the costs attributable to maintenance or interest, when (i) the property subject to the charge is limited to the property that benefits from the charge, or (ii) the amount of the charge is determined by the benefit to the property assessed, or (iii) the improvement for which the charge is assessed tends to increase the property value.
       2. (2) In addition, the term real property tax includes taxes paid by the taxpayer upon real property principally used during the taxable year by the taxpayer in manufacturing where the taxpayer leases such real property from an unrelated third party if the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the tax must be paid by the taxpayer as lessee pursuant to explicit requirements in a written lease, and (ii) the taxpayer as lessee has paid such taxes directly to the taxing authority and has received a written receipt for payment of taxes from the taxing authority. In the case of a combined group that constitutes a qualified New York manufacturer, the conditions in the preceding sentence are satisfied if one corporation in the combined group is the lessee and another corporation in the combined group makes the payments to the taxing authority.
       3. (3) The term real property tax does not include a payment made by the taxpayer in connection with an agreement for the payment in lieu of taxes on real property, whether such property is owned or leased by the taxpayer.
       4. (4) The real property taxes must be paid by the taxpayer in the year such taxes become a lien on the real property.
   96. (c) Credit recapture. Where a qualified New York manufacturer's real property taxes which were the basis for the allowance of the credit provided for under this subdivision are subsequently reduced as a result of a final order in any proceeding under article seven of the real property tax law or other provision of law, the taxpayer shall add back, in the taxable year in which such final order is issued, the excess of (1) the amount of credit originally allowed for a taxable year over (2) the amount of credit determined based upon the reduced real property taxes. If such final order reduces real property taxes for more than one year, the taxpayer must determine how much of such reduction is attributable to each year covered by such final order and calculate the amount of credit which is required by this subdivision to be recaptured for each year based on such reduction.
   97. (d) The credit allowed under this subdivision for any taxable year shall not reduce the tax due for such year to less than twenty-five dollars.
   98. 44. The tax-free NY area excise tax on telecommunication services credit. A taxpayer that is a business or owner of a business that is located in a tax-free NY area approved pursuant to article twenty-one of the economic development law shall be allowed a credit equal to the excise tax on telecommunication services imposed by section one hundred eighty-six-e of this chapter and passed through to such business during the taxable year to the extent not otherwise deducted in computing entire net income under this article. However, any amount of credit not deductible in such taxable year shall be treated as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded in accordance with the provisions of section one thousand eighty-six of this chapter. This credit may be claimed only where any tax imposed by such section one hundred eighty-six-e has been separately stated on a bill from the provider of telecommunication services and paid by such business with respect to such services rendered within a tax-free NY area during the taxable year. Unless the taxpayer has a tax-free NY area allocation factor of one hundred percent, the credit allowed under this subdivision for any taxable year shall not reduce the tax due for such year to less than the amount prescribed in paragraph (d) of subdivision one of section two hundred ten of this chapter. Provided, however, the provisions of subsection (c) of section one thousand eighty-eight of this chapter notwithstanding, no interest shall be paid thereon.
   99. 45. Order of credits. (a) Credits allowable under this article which cannot be carried over and which are not refundable shall be deducted first. The credit allowable under subdivision six of this section shall be deducted immediately after the deduction of all credits allowable under this article which cannot be carried over and which are not refundable, whether or not a portion of such credit is refundable. Credits allowable under this article which can be carried over, and carryovers of such credits, shall be deducted next after the deduction of the credit allowable under subdivision six of this section, and among such credits, those whose carryover is of limited duration shall be deducted before those whose carryover is of unlimited duration. Credits allowable under this article which are refundable (other than the credit allowable under subdivision six of this section) shall be deducted last.

The credit allowed under this subdivision for any taxable year shall not reduce the tax due for such year to less than the amount prescribed in paragraph (d) of subdivision one of this section. Provided, however, that if the amount of the credit allowable under this subdivision for any taxable year reduces the tax to such amount, the excess shall be treated as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded in accordance with the provisions of section one thousand eighty-six of this chapter. Provided, further, the provisions of subsection (c) of section one thousand eighty-eight of this chapter notwithstanding, no interest shall be paid thereon. * NB Repealed March 31, 2018 * 48.

The credit allowed pursuant to this subdivision shall not exceed, during any taxable year, five thousand dollars for any qualified full time employee and two thousand five hundred dollars for any qualified part time employee.

The credit allowed under this subdivision for any taxable year shall not reduce the tax due for such year to less than the amount prescribed in paragraph (d) of subdivision one of this section.

        5. (c) The taxpayer shall attach to its tax return its final certificate of eligibility issued by the commissioner of labor pursuant to section twenty-five-b of the labor law for each taxable year that the credit is claimed. In no event shall the taxpayer be allowed a credit greater than the amount of the credit listed on the final certificate of eligibility. Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter to the contrary, the commissioner and the commissioner's designees may release the names and addresses of any taxpayer claiming this credit and the amount of the credit earned by the taxpayer.
        6.
