        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 6-a of section 208 of the  tax
     2  law,  as  amended  by  section 1 of part KK of chapter 59 of the laws of
     3  2018, is amended to read as follows:
     4    (b) "Exempt CFC income" means (i) except to the  extent  described  in
     5  subparagraph  (ii) of this paragraph, the income required to be included
     6  in the taxpayer's federal gross income pursuant  to  subsection  (a)  of
     7  section  951  of  the internal revenue code, received from a corporation
     8  that is conducting a unitary business  with  the  taxpayer  but  is  not
     9  included  in a combined report with the taxpayer, [and] (ii) such income
    10  required to be included in the taxpayer's federal gross income  pursuant
    11  to  subsection  (a)  of such section 951 of the internal revenue code by
    12  reason of subsection (a) of section 965 of the internal revenue code, as
    13  adjusted by subsection (b) of section 965 of the internal revenue  code,
    14  and  without  regard  to subsection (c) of such section, received from a
    15  corporation that is not included in a combined report with the taxpayer,
    16  and (iii) ninety-five percent of the income required to be  included  in
    17  the  taxpayer's  federal  gross  income  pursuant  to  subsection (a) of
    18  section 951A of  the  internal  revenue  code,  without  regard  to  the
    19  deduction  under section 250 of the internal revenue code, received from
    20  a corporation that is not included in a combined report with the taxpay-
    21  er, less, [(iii)] (iv) in the discretion of the commissioner, any inter-
    22  est deductions directly or indirectly attributable to  that  income.  In
    23  lieu  of  subtracting  from  its  exempt  CFC income the amount of those
    24  interest deductions, the taxpayer  may  make  a  revocable  election  to

                                                                   LBD09762-02-9

     3  for  in  paragraph  (b) of subdivision six of this section and paragraph
     4  (c)  of  this  subdivision.  If  the  taxpayer subsequently revokes this
     5  election, the taxpayer must revoke the elections provided for  in  para-
     6  graph  (b)  of subdivision six of this section and paragraph (c) of this
     7  subdivision. A taxpayer which does not make this election because it has
     8  no exempt CFC income will not  be  precluded  from  making  those  other
     9  elections. The income described in [subparagraph] subparagraphs (ii) and
    10  (iii)  of  this  paragraph  shall not constitute investment income.  The
    11  income described in subparagraph  (iii)  of  this  paragraph  shall  not
    12  constitute exempt unitary corporation dividends.

    14  amended by adding a new subparagraph 25 to read as follows:

    16  250(a)(1)(B)(i) of the internal revenue code.
    17    §  3.  Subdivision  5-a  of  section 210-A of the tax law, as added by
    18  section 1 of part C of chapter 59 of the laws of  2019,  is  amended  to
    19  read as follows:
    20    5-a.  [Net  global]  Global  intangible low-taxed income. (a) Notwith-
    21  standing any other provision of this section,  [net]  global  intangible

    38    §  4. Paragraph 1 of subdivision (b) of section 1503 of the tax law is

    41  (A)  of this paragraph, ninety-five percent of the income required to be
    42  included in the taxpayer's federal gross income pursuant  to  subsection
    43  (a)  of section 951A of the internal revenue code, without regard to the
    44  deduction under section 250 of the internal revenue code, that is gener-
    45  ated by a corporation that is not included in a combined report with the
    46  taxpayer.
