Summary

This bill expands New York's definition of "business entity" to include not-for-profit corporations and public television or radio corporations, allowing these entities to claim the newspaper and broadcast media jobs tax credit. The legislation amends tax law to permit not-for-profit media organizations to benefit from the same tax credit as for-profit media businesses. If the tax credit exceeds the entity's tax liability, the excess is treated as an overpayment that can be refunded.

AN ACT to amend the economic development law, in relation to the defi- nition of business entity; and to amend the tax law, in relation to the allowance and application of the newspaper and broadcast media jobs tax credit

The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows:

1 Section 1. Section 492 of the economic development law is amended by 2 adding a new subdivision 14 to read as follows: 3 14. "Business entity" shall include, but not be limited to, a not-for- 4 profit corporation and a public television or radio corporation. 5 § 2. Subdivision (a) of section 49 of the tax law, as amended by 6 section 4 of part J of chapter 59 of the laws of 2025, is amended to 7 read as follows: 8 (a) Allowance of credit. A taxpayer subject to tax under article 9 nine-A or article twenty-two of this chapter shall be allowed a credit 10 against such tax, pursuant to the provisions referenced in subdivision 11 (e) of this section. The amount of the credit is equal to the amount 12 determined pursuant to article twenty-seven of the economic development 13 law and shall be based on the certificates of tax credit issued to 14 eligible businesses owned by the taxpayer or by an entity of which the 15 taxpayer is a partner or shareholder. Notwithstanding that a taxpayer 16 is not subject to tax under article nine-A or article twenty-two of this 17 chapter, if the taxpayer is a corporation to which article one of the 18 not-for-profit corporation law applies, or a public television or a 19 radio corporation under section two hundred thirty-six of the education 20 law, it shall be allowed a credit against the tax provided in this 21 section. A taxpayer that is a partner in a partnership, member of a 22 limited liability company or shareholder in a subchapter S corporation 23 shall be allowed its pro-rata share of the credit allowed for the part- 24 nership, limited liability company or subchapter S corporation. No cost 25 or expense paid or incurred that is included as part of the calculation

Subparagraph 2 of subsection (ppp) of section 606 of the tax law, 4 as added by section 5 of part AAA of chapter 56 of the laws of 2024, is 5 amended to read as follows: 6 (2) Application of credit. If the amount of the credit allowed under 7 this subsection for the taxable year exceeds the taxpayer's tax for such 8 year, or, if the taxpayer is a corporation to which article one of the 9 not-for-profit corporation law applies or a public television or a radio 10 corporation under section two hundred thirty-six of the education law, 11 and has no tax for the credit allowed herein to offset, the excess shall 12 be treated as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded in 13 accordance with the provisions of section six hundred eighty-six of this 14 article, provided, however, that no interest will be paid thereon. 15 § 4.
