The third paragraph under Definitions, the instruction now reads as follows:
A taxpayer or combined group that does not satisfy the principally engaged test (see the definition of manufacturer below) may be a qualified New York manufacturer if the taxpayer or the combined group employs at least 2500 employees during the tax year in manufacturing, processing, assembling, refining, mining, extracting, farming, agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, viticulture, or commercial fishing in New York and the taxpayer or combined group has property in the state used in these activities, the adjusted basis of which for federal income tax purposes at the close of the tax year is at least $100 million. -
IT-641-I
Chapter 59 of the Laws of 2015 amended the definition of real property tax for the manufacturer's real property tax credit. The amendment is effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The bolded text below has been added to the definition. The instructions are not being updated.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 Real Property Tax Law, Articles 18 or 19, the property must have been taxed at the rate determined for the class in which it is contained, as provided by such article, whichever is applicable.
The term real property tax includes taxes paid by the taxpayer on real property principally used during the tax year by the taxpayer in manufacturing where the taxpayer leases such real property from an unrelated third party if the following conditions are satisfied:
- the tax must be paid by the taxpayer as lessee pursuant to explicit requirements in a written lease, and
- 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.
A taxpayer principally engaged in the production of goods by farming, agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, viticulture, or commercial fishing that satisfies the above conditions, is eligible if the taxpayer leases such real property from a related or unrelated third party.
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 (PILOT) on real property, whether such property is owned or leased by the taxpayer.
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:
- the property subject to the charge is limited to the property that benefits from the charge;
- the amount of the charge is determined by the benefit to the property assessed; or
- the improvement for which the charge is assessed tends to increase the property value.
