Tax Law Section 46-A
Additional restaurant return-to-work tax credit
(a)
Allowance of credit. A taxpayer subject to tax under article nine-A or twenty-two of this chapter shall be allowed a credit against such tax, pursuant to the provisions referenced in subdivision (f) of this section. The amount of the credit is equal to the amount determined pursuant to Economic Development Law § 475-A (Additional restaurant return-to-work tax credit)section four hundred seventy-five-a of the economic development law. No cost or expense paid or incurred by the taxpayer which is included as part of the calculation of this credit shall be the basis of any other tax credit allowed under this chapter.(b)
Eligibility. To be eligible for the additional restaurant return-to-work tax credit, the taxpayer shall have been issued a certificate of additional tax credit by the department of economic development pursuant to subdivision four of Economic Development Law § 474 (Application and approval process)section four hundred seventy-four of the economic development law, which certificate shall set forth the amount of the credit that may be claimed for the taxable year. The taxpayer shall be allowed to claim only the amount listed on the certificate of additional tax credit for that taxable year. A taxpayer that is a partner in a partnership, member of a limited liability company or shareholder in a subchapter S corporation that has received a certificate of additional tax credit shall be allowed its pro rata share of the credit earned by the partnership, limited liability company or subchapter S corporation. However, the taxpayer must be a partner, member or shareholder of such partnership, limited liability company or subchapter S corporation as of April first, two thousand twenty-two.(c)
Tax return requirement and advance payment option.(1)
The taxpayer shall be required to attach to its tax return in the form prescribed by the commissioner, proof of receipt of its certificate of additional tax credit issued by the commissioner of the department of economic development.(2)
Taxpayers shall have the option to request an advance payment of the amount of tax credit they are allowed under this section. A taxpayer must submit such request to the department in the manner prescribed by the commissioner after it has been issued a certificate of additional tax credit by the department of economic development pursuant to subdivision four of Economic Development Law § 474 (Application and approval process)section four hundred seventy-four of the economic development law (or such certificate has been issued to a partnership, limited liability company or subchapter S corporation in which it is a partner, member or shareholder, respectively), but such request must be submitted no later than September thirtieth, two thousand twenty-two. For those taxpayers who have requested an advance payment and for whom the commissioner has determined eligible for this credit, the commissioner shall advance a payment of the tax credit allowed to the taxpayer. However, in the case of a taxpayer subject to article 9-A (Franchise Tax On Business Corporations)article nine-A of this chapter, such payment shall be equal to the amount of credit allowed to the taxpayer less twenty-five dollars. Such twenty-five dollars shall represent a partial payment of tax owed by the taxpayer under article nine-A, including any fixed dollar minimum owed under paragraph (d) of subdivision one of § 210 (Computation of tax)section two hundred ten of this chapter. When a taxpayer files its return for the taxable year, such taxpayer shall properly reconcile the advance payment and any partial payment of fixed dollar minimum tax, if applicable, on the taxpayer’s return.(d)
Information sharing. Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter, employees of the department of economic development and the department shall be allowed and are directed to share and exchange:(1)
information derived from tax returns or reports that are relevant to a taxpayer’s eligibility to participate in the restaurant return-to-work tax credit program;(2)
information regarding the credit applied for, allowed, or claimed pursuant to this section and taxpayers that are applying for the credit or that are claiming the credit; and(3)
information contained in or derived from credit claim forms submitted to the department and applications for admission into the restaurant return-to-work tax credit program. Except as provided in paragraph two of this subdivision, all information exchanged between the department of economic development and the department shall not be subject to disclosure or inspection under the state’s freedom of information law.(e)
Credit recapture. If a certificate of additional tax credit issued by the department of economic development under article twenty-five of the economic development law is revoked by such department, the amount of credit described in this section and claimed by the taxpayer prior to that revocation shall be added back to tax in the taxable year in which any such revocation becomes final.(f)
