BILL NUMBER:S3753

TITLE OF BILL:

An act
to amend the tax law and the
administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to making
transitional provisions relating to the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley act
permanent

PURPOSE:

This bill would make permanent the provisions in the State and City
bank taxes relating to enactment and implementation of the federal
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

This bill would amend section 1452 of the tax law by deleting the
sunset provisions which were contained in that law's effective date
with respect to the transitional provisions relating to the federal
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The law currently provides that the
provisions shall not apply to taxable years beginning on or after
January 1, 2011. This bill would remove all reference with respect to
such dates in order to make such provisions permanent

This bill would also amend section 11-640 of the administrative code
of the City of New York by deleting the sunset provisions which were
contained in that law's effective date. The law currently provides
that the provisions shall not apply to taxable years beginning on or
after January 1, 2011. This bill would also remove all reference with
respect to such dates in order to make such provisions permanent

JUSTIFICATION:

Transitional provisions were added to the New York Tax Law and the New
York City Administrative Code in order to comply with the federal
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act beginning in 2000. These provisions removed
prohibitions against the affiliation of banks, securities firms and
insurance companies. Removal of these prohibitions allowed banks and
securities firms to make certain their taxable status as they
exercised the expanded powers granted to them at the federal level.
The provisions are set to expire on or after January 1. 2011. Making
permanent the provisions relating to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act will
provide filing and accounting continuity and efficiency for bank and
insurance taxpayers, while allowing for more comprehensive tax reform
in the future.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

This is a new bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Enactment of this bill would preserves current revenue, and such
strategy is contained in the 2011-2012 proposed executive budget.


EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act would take effect immediately.

    THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
  BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


    Section  1.    Paragraphs 1 and 2 of subsection (m) of section 1452 of
  the tax law, as amended by chapter 24 of the laws of 2010,  are  amended
  to read as follows:

    (1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section
  other  than  subsection  (n) of this section, a corporation [that was in
  existence before January first, two thousand ten and was] subject to tax
  under article nine-A of this chapter [for its last taxable  year  begin-
  ning before January first, two thousand ten], shall continue to be taxa-
  ble  under  such  article  [for  all taxable years beginning on or after
  January first, two thousand ten and before January first,  two  thousand
  eleven].    The  preceding  sentence shall not apply to any taxable year
  during which such corporation is  a  banking  corporation  described  in
  paragraphs one through eight of subsection (a) of this section. Notwith-
  standing  anything  to the contrary contained in this section other than
  subsection (n) of this section, a banking corporation  [or  corporation]
  that  [was  in existence before January first, two thousand ten and] was
  subject to tax under this article [for its last taxable  year  beginning
  before  January  first,  two thousand ten], shall continue to be taxable
  under this article [for all taxable years beginning on or after  January
  first, two thousand ten and before January first, two thousand eleven or
  in which the corporation satisfies the requirements for a corporation to
  elect  to be taxable under this article]. Provided further, that nothing

 S. 3753                             2

  this  chapter  from  revoking  that  election  in  accordance  with such
  subsection (d).
    For  purposes  of this paragraph, a corporation shall be considered to
  be subject to tax under article nine-A of this  chapter  for  a  taxable
  year if such corporation was not a taxpayer but was properly included in
  a  combined  report filed pursuant to section two hundred eleven of this
  chapter for such taxable year and a corporation shall be  considered  to
  be  subject  to tax under this article for a taxable year if such corpo-
  ration was not a taxpayer but was properly included in a combined return
  filed pursuant to subsection (f) or  (g)  of  section  fourteen  hundred
  sixty-two of this article for such taxable year. A corporation [that was
  in  existence before January first, two thousand ten but first becomes a
  taxpayer in a taxable year beginning on  or  after  January  first,  two
  thousand  ten  and  before January first, two thousand eleven,] shall be
  considered for purposes of this paragraph to have been  subject  to  tax
  under  article  nine-A of this chapter for its last taxable year [begin-
  ning before January first, two thousand ten] if such  corporation  would
  have  been subject to tax under such article for such taxable year if it
  had been a taxpayer during such taxable year. A corporation [that was in
  existence before January first, two thousand ten  but  first  becomes  a
  taxpayer  in  a  taxable  year  beginning on or after January first, two
  thousand ten and before January first, two thousand  eleven,]  shall  be
  considered,  for purposes of this paragraph, to have been subject to tax
  under this article [for its last taxable year beginning  before  January
  first,  two thousand ten] if such corporation would have been subject to
  tax under this article for such taxable year if it had been  a  taxpayer
  during such taxable year.
    (2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section
  other  than  subsection (n) of this section, a corporation [formed on or
  after January first, two thousand ten  and  before  January  first,  two
  thousand  eleven]  may  elect to be subject to tax under this article or
  under article nine-A of this chapter [for its first taxable year  begin-
  ning  on  or  after  January  first, two thousand ten and before January
  first, two thousand eleven in which] IF either (i) sixty-five percent or
  more of its voting stock is owned or controlled, directly or  indirectly
  by  a  financial  holding company, provided the corporation whose voting
  stock is so owned or controlled is  principally  engaged  in  activities
  that  are  described  in  section 4(k)(4) or 4(k)(5) of the federal bank
  holding company act of nineteen hundred fifty-six, as  amended  and  the
  regulations  promulgated  pursuant  to the authority of such section, or
  (ii) it is a financial subsidiary. An election under this paragraph  may
  not  be  made by a corporation described in paragraphs one through eight
  of subsection (a) of this section or in subsection (e) of this  section.
  In  addition,  an  election  under  this  paragraph may not be made by a
  corporation  that  is  a  party  to  a  reorganization,  as  defined  in
  subsection  (a)  of section 368 of the internal revenue code of 1986, as
  amended, of a corporation described in paragraph one of this  subsection
  if   both   corporations  were  sixty-five  percent  or  more  owned  or
  controlled, directly or indirectly, by the same interests at the time of
  the reorganization.
    An election under this paragraph must be made by the  taxpayer  on  or
  before  the  due  date  for filing its return (determined with regard to
  extensions of time for filing) for  the  applicable  taxable  year.  The
  election  to be taxed under article nine-A of this chapter shall be made
  by the taxpayer by filing the report required pursuant  to  section  two
  hundred  eleven  of this chapter and the election to be taxed under this

 S. 3753                             3

  article shall be made by the taxpayer  by  filing  the  return  required
  pursuant  to  section  fourteen  hundred  sixty-two of this article. Any
  election made pursuant to this paragraph shall be irrevocable and  shall
  apply  to  each  subsequent  taxable year [beginning on or after January
  first, two thousand ten and before January first, two thousand  eleven],
  provided  that the stock ownership and activities requirements described
  in subparagraph (i) of  this  paragraph  are  met  or  such  corporation
  described  in  subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph continues as a finan-
  cial subsidiary.
    S 2. Paragraphs 1 and 2 of subdivision (l) of section  11-640  of  the
  administrative code of the city of New York, as amended by chapter 24 of
  the laws of 2010, are amended to read as follows:

    (1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section
  other  than  subdivision (m) of this section, a corporation [that was in
  existence before January first, two thousand ten and was] subject to tax
  under subchapter two of this chapter [for its last taxable  year  begin-
  ning before January first, two thousand ten,] shall continue to be taxa-
  ble  under  such subchapter for all taxable years [beginning on or after
  January first, two thousand ten and before January first,  two  thousand
  eleven].    The  preceding  sentence shall not apply to any taxable year
  during which such corporation is  a  banking  corporation  described  in
  paragraphs  one  through  eight  of  subdivision  (a)  of  this section.
  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section other
  than subdivision (m) of this section, a banking corporation  [or  corpo-
  ration  that was in existence before January first, two thousand ten and
  was subject to tax under this  subchapter  for  its  last  taxable  year
  beginning  before January first, two thousand ten,] shall continue to be
  taxable under this subchapter for all taxable  years  [beginning  on  or
  after  January  first,  two  thousand  ten and before January first, two
  thousand eleven or] in which the corporation satisfies the  requirements
  for a corporation to elect to be taxable under this subchapter. Provided
  further,  that  nothing in this subdivision shall prohibit a corporation
  that elected pursuant to subdivision (d) of this section to  be  taxable
  under  subchapter  two  of  this  chapter from revoking that election in
  accordance with subdivision (d) of this section. For  purposes  of  this
  paragraph,  a corporation shall be considered to be subject to tax under
  subchapter two of this chapter for a taxable year  if  such  corporation
  was  not a taxpayer but was properly included in a combined report filed
  pursuant to subdivision four of section 11-605 of this chapter for  such
  taxable  year and a corporation shall be considered to be subject to tax
  under this subchapter for a taxable year if such corporation was  not  a
  taxpayer  but  was properly included in a combined report filed pursuant
  to subdivision (f) or (g) of section 11-646 of this part for such  taxa-
  ble year. A corporation [that was in existence before January first, two
  thousand ten but first becomes a taxpayer in a taxable year beginning on
  or  after  January first, two thousand ten and before January first, two
  thousand eleven,] shall be considered for purposes of this paragraph  to
  have  been  subject  to tax under subchapter two of this chapter for its
  last taxable year [beginning before January first, two thousand ten]  if
  such  corporation  would  have been subject to tax under such subchapter
  for such taxable year if it had been  a  taxpayer  during  such  taxable
  year.  A  corporation  [that  was in existence before January first, two
  thousand ten but first becomes a taxpayer in a taxable year beginning on
  or after January first, two thousand ten and before January  first,  two
  thousand  eleven,] shall be considered for purposes of this paragraph to
  have been subject to tax under this subchapter for its last taxable year

 S. 3753                             4

  [beginning before January first, two thousand ten] if  such  corporation
  would  have  been  subject to tax under this subchapter for such taxable
  year if it had been a taxpayer during such taxable year.
    (2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section
  other  than subdivision (m) of this section, a corporation [formed on or
  after January first, two thousand ten  and  before  January  first,  two
  thousand eleven] may elect to be subject to tax under this subchapter or
  under  subchapter two of this chapter for its first taxable year [begin-
  ning on or after January first, two  thousand  ten  and  before  January
  first, two thousand eleven in which] IF either (i) sixty-five percent or
  more  of its voting stock is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly
  by a financial holding company, provided the  corporation  whose  voting
  stock  is  so  owned  or controlled is principally engaged in activities
  that are described in section 4(k)(4) or 4(k)(5)  of  the  federal  bank
  holding  company  act  of nineteen hundred fifty-six, as amended and the
  regulations promulgated pursuant to the authority  of  such  section  or
  (ii)  it is a financial subsidiary. An election under this paragraph may
  not be made by a corporation described in paragraphs one  through  eight
  of  subdivision  (a)  of  this  section  or  in  subdivision (e) of this
  section. In addition, an election under this paragraph may not  be  made

  amended, of a corporation described in paragraph one of this subdivision
  if   both   corporations  were  sixty-five  percent  or  more  owned  or
  controlled, directly or indirectly by the same interests at the time  of
  the reorganization.
    An  election  under  this paragraph must be made by the taxpayer on or
  before the due date for filing its return  (determined  with  regard  to
  extensions  of  time  for  filing)  for the applicable taxable year. The
  election to be taxed under subchapter two of this chapter shall be  made

  one of section 11-605 of this chapter and the election to be taxed under

    S  3.  Subparagraph  (iv) of paragraph 2 of subdivision (f) of section
  1462 of the tax law, as amended by chapter 24 of the laws  of  2010,  is
  amended to read as follows:

    (iv)  (A)  Notwithstanding  any  provision of this paragraph, any bank
  holding company exercising its corporate franchise or doing business  in
  the  state  may  make  a  return on a combined basis without seeking the
  permission of the commissioner with any banking  corporation  exercising
  its corporate franchise or doing business in the state in a corporate or
  organized  capacity  sixty-five percent or more of whose voting stock is
  owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by such bank holding compa-
  ny, for the first taxable year [beginning on or after January first, two
  thousand and before January first, two  thousand  eleven]  during  which
  such bank holding company registers for the first time under the federal
  bank  holding company act, as amended, and also elects to be a financial
  holding company. In addition, for each subsequent taxable  year  [begin-

 S. 3753                             5

  ning  after  January  first,  two thousand and before January first, two
  thousand eleven], any such bank holding company may file on  a  combined
  basis  without seeking the permission of the commissioner with any bank-
  ing  corporation  that  is  exercising  its corporate franchise or doing
  business in the state and sixty-five percent or  more  of  whose  voting
  stock is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by such bank hold-
  ing  company if either such banking corporation is exercising its corpo-
  rate franchise or doing business in the state in a corporate  or  organ-
  ized capacity for the first time during such subsequent taxable year, or
  sixty-five  percent  or  more of the voting stock of such banking corpo-
  ration is owned or controlled, directly  or  indirectly,  by  such  bank
  holding  company for the first time during such subsequent taxable year.
  Provided however, for each  subsequent  taxable  year  [beginning  after
  January first, two thousand and before January first, two thousand elev-
  en],  a  banking  corporation  described  in either of the two preceding
  sentences which filed on a combined basis with  any  such  bank  holding
  company  in a previous taxable year, must continue to file on a combined
  basis with such bank holding company if such banking corporation, during
  such subsequent taxable year, continues to exercise its corporate  fran-
  chise  or  do business in the state in a corporate or organized capacity
  and sixty-five percent or more  of  such  banking  corporation's  voting
  stock  continues  to  be owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by
  such bank holding company, unless the permission of the commissioner has
  been obtained to file on a separate basis for  such  subsequent  taxable
  year.  Provided  further,  however,  for  each  subsequent  taxable year
  [beginning after January first, two thousand and before  January  first,
  two  thousand  eleven], a banking corporation described in either of the
  first two sentences of this clause which did  not  file  on  a  combined
  basis with any such bank holding company in a previous taxable year, may
  not  file  on a combined basis with such bank holding company during any
  such subsequent taxable year unless the permission of  the  commissioner
  has  been obtained to file on a combined basis for such subsequent taxa-
  ble year.
    (B) Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph other than  clause
  (A)  of this subparagraph, the commissioner may not require a bank hold-
  ing company which, during a taxable year [beginning on or after  January
  first,  two  thousand  and  before  January first, two thousand eleven],
  registers for the first time during such taxable year under the  federal
  bank  holding company act, as amended, and also elects to be a financial
  holding company, to make a return on a combined basis  for  any  taxable
  year [beginning on or after January first, two thousand and before Janu-
  ary  first,  two  thousand eleven] with a banking corporation sixty-five
  percent or more of whose voting stock is owned or  controlled,  directly
  or indirectly, by such bank holding company.
    S  4.  Subparagraph  (iv) of paragraph 2 of subdivision (f) of section
  11-646 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as amended by
  chapter 24 of the laws of 2010, is amended to read as follows:

    (iv) (A) Notwithstanding any provision of  this  paragraph,  any  bank
  holding  company exercising its corporate franchise or doing business in
  the city may make a return on  a  combined  basis  without  seeking  the
  permission  of  the commissioner with any banking corporation exercising
  its corporate franchise or doing business in the city in a corporate  or
  organized  capacity  sixty-five percent or more of whose voting stock is
  owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by such bank holding compa-
  ny, for the first taxable year [beginning on or after January first, two
  thousand and before January first, two  thousand  eleven]  during  which

 S. 3753                             6

  such bank holding company registers for the first time under the federal
  bank  holding company act, as amended, and also elects to be a financial
  holding company. In addition, for each subsequent taxable  year  [begin-
  ning  after  January  first,  two thousand and before January first, two
  thousand eleven], any such bank holding company may file on  a  combined
  basis  without seeking the permission of the commissioner with any bank-
  ing corporation that is exercising  its  corporate  franchise  or  doing
  business  in  the  city  and  sixty-five percent or more of whose voting
  stock is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by such bank hold-
  ing company if either such banking corporation is exercising its  corpo-
  rate franchise or doing business in the city in a corporate or organized
  capacity  for  the  first  time  during such subsequent taxable year, or
  sixty-five percent or more of the voting stock of  such  banking  corpo-
  ration  is  owned  or  controlled,  directly or indirectly, by such bank
  holding company for the first time during such subsequent taxable  year.
  Provided  however,  for  each  subsequent  taxable year [beginning after
  January first, two thousand and before January first, two thousand elev-
  en], a banking corporation described in  either  of  the  two  preceding
  sentences  which  filed  on  a combined basis with any such bank holding
  company in a previous taxable year, must continue to file on a  combined
  basis with such bank holding company if such banking corporation, during
  such  subsequent taxable year, continues to exercise its corporate fran-
  chise or do business in the city in a corporate  or  organized  capacity
  and  sixty-five  percent  or  more  of such banking corporation's voting
  stock continues to be owned or controlled, directly  or  indirectly,  by
  such bank holding company, unless the permission of the commissioner has
  been  obtained  to  file on a separate basis for such subsequent taxable
  year. Provided  further,  however,  for  each  subsequent  taxable  year
  [beginning  after  January first, two thousand and before January first,
  two thousand eleven], a banking corporation described in either  of  the
  first  two  sentences  of  this  clause which did not file on a combined
  basis with any such bank holding company in a previous taxable year, may
  not file on a combined basis with such bank holding company  during  any
  such  subsequent  taxable year unless the permission of the commissioner
  has been obtained to file on a combined basis for such subsequent  taxa-
  ble year.
    (B)  Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph other than clause
  (A) of this subparagraph, the commissioner may not require a bank  hold-
  ing  company which, during a taxable year [beginning on or after January
  first, two thousand and before  January  first,  two  thousand  eleven],
  registers  for the first time during such taxable year under the federal
  bank holding company act, as amended, and also elects to be a  financial
  holding  company,  to  make a return on a combined basis for any taxable
  year [beginning on or after January first, two thousand and before Janu-
  ary first, two thousand eleven] with a  banking  corporation  sixty-five
  percent  or  more of whose voting stock is owned or controlled, directly
  or indirectly, by such bank holding company.
    S 5. This act shall take effect immediately.
