          New York, in relation to the definitions of the terms "CFC income" and
          "entire net income"
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        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  less, and (iii) such income required to be included  in  the  taxpayer's
    17  federal  gross  income pursuant to subsection (a) of section 951A of the
    18  internal revenue code, without regard to the deduction under section 250
    19  of the internal revenue code, received from a corporation  that  is  not
    20  included  in  a  combined  report  with  the taxpayer, less, (iv) in the
    21  discretion of the commissioner,  any  interest  deductions  directly  or
    22  indirectly  attributable to that income. In lieu of subtracting from its
    23  exempt CFC income the amount of those interest deductions, the  taxpayer
    24  may  make  a revocable election to reduce its total exempt CFC income by

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

    12  amended by adding a new subparagraph 25 to read as follows:
    13    (25)  The  amount of any federal deduction allowed pursuant to section
    14  250(a)(1)(B)(i) of the internal revenue code.

    16  istrative  code  of  the  city of New York, as amended by section 1-a of
    17  part KK of chapter 59 of the  laws  of  2018,  is  amended  to  read  as
    18  follows:
    19    (b)  "Exempt  CFC  income" means (i) except to the extent described in
    20  subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph, the income required to be  included
    21  in  the  taxpayer's  federal  gross income pursuant to subsection (a) of
    22  section 951 of the internal revenue code, received  from  a  corporation
    23  that  is  conducting  a  unitary  business  with the taxpayer but is not
    24  included in a combined report with the taxpayer, and  (ii)  such  income
    25  required  to be included in the taxpayer's federal gross income pursuant
    26  to subsection (a) of such section 951 of the internal  revenue  code  by
    27  reason of subsection (a) of section 965 of the internal revenue code, as
    28  adjusted  by subsection (b) of section 965 of the internal revenue code,
    29  and without regard to subsection (c) of such section,  received  from  a
    30  corporation that is not included in a combined report with the taxpayer,
    31  less,  and  (iii)  such income required to be included in the taxpayer's
    32  federal gross income pursuant to subsection (a) of section 951A  of  the

    36  discretion  of  the  commissioner  of  finance,  any interest deductions
    37  directly or  indirectly  attributable  to  that  income.    In  lieu  of
    38  subtracting  from  its  exempt  CFC  income the amount of those interest
    39  deductions, the taxpayer may make a revocable  election  to  reduce  its
    40  total  exempt  CFC  income  by forty percent. If the taxpayer makes this
    41  election, the taxpayer must also make  the  elections  provided  for  in
    42  paragraph  (b)  of subdivision five of this section and paragraph (c) of
    43  this subdivision. If the taxpayer subsequently  revokes  this  election,
    44  the  taxpayer must revoke the elections provided for in paragraph (b) of
    45  subdivision five of this section and paragraph (c) of this  subdivision.

    49  paragraph shall not constitute investment income.
