Under prior aw, taxpayers who made royaty payments to reated entities were required to add back the amount of the payments to taxabe income if those payments were deducted when cacuating federa taxabe income and if the royaty recipient, under certain conditions, coud excude the royaty income. Ad. Code section (8)(n), as amended, eiminates the income excusion previousy aowed to certain royaty recipients and increases to four the number of exceptions to the add-back requirement. Part E of Chapter 59 of the Laws of 2013, 10. For more information, see Royaty Payments to Reated Members, beow. Loca Law 67 of 2009, as amended, added section (21) to the Ad. Code, which provides a new biotechnoogy credit for tax years 2010 through 2015 to certain quaified emerging technoogy companies for certain costs and expenses incurred. Section 2 of Chapter 201 of the Laws of 2009 provides for a phase-in of singe factor aocation over 10 years beginning in For taxabe years beginning in 2013, the business aocation factor wi be a weighted average composed of 16.5% of New York City property over tota property, 16.5% of New York City wages over tota wages and 67% of New York City receipts over tota receipts. For taxabe years beginning after 2010, the eection to doube-weight the gross income percentage for manufacturers is no onger avaiabe. Note: The phase-in of singe factor aocation is now more advantageous than doube-weighting. Section 17 of Chapter 201 of the Laws of 2009 repaced the $300 fixed doar minimum tax under the Genera Corporation Tax ( GCT ) with a siding scae fixed doar minimum tax based on receipts aocated to New York City for tax years beginning after See Ad Code (1)(E)(a)(4) as amended. Mandatory Combination A 2009 amendment now requires the mandatory combination of reated GCT taxpayers with substantia intercorporate transactions, regardess of the transfer price used in the intercorporate transactions.

See Ad Code (8)(b)(19) as added by section 17 of Part C of Chapter 25 of the Laws of Termination of GCT tax status under Gramm-Leach-Biey transition rues - The aw was amended in 2009 to provide conditions under which corporations subject to tax under the Genera Corporation Tax (GCT) as a resut of the transition rues reating to the Gramm-Leach-Biey provisions wi no onger be taxabe under the GCT. If any of the conditions exist or occur in a tax year beginning on or after January 1, 2009, such a corporation wi be taxabe under the Banking Corporation Tax (BCT), rather than the GCT, as of the first day of the tax year in which the condition appied. Administrative Code section (m), as added by Chapter 201 of the Laws of 2009, section 32. Captive Rea Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Reguated Investment Companies (RICs) - For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, the aw has been changed concerning the tax treatment of captive REITs and RICs, that is, those where more than 50% of the voting stock is owned or controed, directy or indirecty, by a singe corporation. Under those changes, if a corporation subject to the GCT directy owns over 50% of the voting stock of a captive REIT or RIC or is the cosest controing sharehoder of the voting stock of a captive REIT or RIC, the REIT or RIC may be subject to the GCT and required to be incuded in a GCT combined return with that corporation.

For tax years beginning after 2006, taxpayers with (1) gross income, as defined under 61 of the Interna Revenue Code, of ess than $250,000, (2) a business aocation of 100%, and (3) no investment capita or income, or subsidiary capita or income are exempt from having to determine the aternative tax on capita and the aternative tax on entire net income pus compensation. See section (1)(I) of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, as added by Chapter 491 of the Laws of If a taxpayer meets these criteria and is otherwise eigibe to fie Form NYC-4S, the taxpayer may be eigibe to use Form NYC-4S-EZ. To determine if you can use Form NYC-4S-EZ, see the instructions for that form. Taxpayers who meet the three criteria noted above but are not eigibe to fie a Form NYC-4S-EZ must use Form NYC-3L but need not cacuate the aternative tax on capita and the aternative tax on entire net income pus compensation. For purposes of computing entire net income for City purposes, corporations, other than New York State S corporations, that meet the three requirements isted above may eect to use the sum of New York State entire net income and any deductions taken for the taxabe year in computing federa taxabe income for Genera Corporation Tax paid or accrued.

2 Instructions for Form NYC-3L Page 2 GENERAL INFORMATION S CORPORATIONS An S corporation is subject to the Genera Corporation Tax (GCT) and must fie either Form NYC-4S, NYC-4S-EZ or NYC-3L, whichever is appicabe. Under certain imited circumstances, an S corporation may be permitted or required to fie a combined return. See, e.g., Finance Memorandum 99-3 for information regarding the treatment of quaified subchapter S subsidiaries. Federa S corporation taxpayers must now compete the new form NYC-ATT- S-CORP, Cacuation of Federa Taxabe Income for S Corporations and incude it with their GCT fiing. For more information see Form NYC-ATT-S-CORP. CORPORATION DEFINED Unincorporated entities eecting to be treated as associations taxabe as corporations for federa income tax purposes pursuant to the check-the-box rues under IRC 7701(a)(3) are treated as corporations for City tax purposes and are not subject to the Unincorporated Business Tax. Eigibe entities having a singe owner disregarded as a separate entity under the check-the-box rues and treated as either a soe proprietorship or a branch for federa tax purposes wi be simiary treated for City tax purposes. See Finance Memorandum 99-1 for additiona information. Royaty Payments to Reated Members For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, the Genera Corporation Tax has been amended to change the treatment of royaty payments to reated members. Under prior aw, taxpayers who made royaty payments to reated entities were required to add back the amount of the payments to taxabe income if they were deducted when cacuating federa taxabe income. To avoid doube taxation, if the royaty recipient was aso a New York taxpayer, the statute aowed the recipient to excude the royaty income if the reated member added back the deduction for the royaty payment expense. Ad. Code section (8)(n), as amended, eiminates the income excusion previousy aowed to certain royaty recipients. It aso modifies the two previous exceptions to the add-back requirement and adds two additiona exceptions. Those four exceptions generay can appy in foowing situations (for additiona conditions that must be met, see the Ad. Code sections indicated beow): If a or part of the royaty payment a reated member received was then paid to an unreated third party during the tax year, that portion of the payment wi be exempt if the transaction giving rise to the origina royaty payment to the reated member was undertaken for a vaid business purpose, and the reated member was subject to tax on the royaty payment in this city or another city within the United States or a foreign nation or some combination thereof (Ad. Code section (8)(n)(2)(B)(i)); If the taxpayer's reated member paid an aggregate effective rate of tax on the royaty payment, to this city or another city within the United States or some combination thereof, that is not ess than 80 percent of the rate of tax that appied to the taxpayer under Ad. Code section for the tax year (Ad. Code section (8)(n)(2)(B)(ii)); If the reated member is organized under the aws of a foreign country that has a tax treaty with the United States, the reated member s income from the transaction was taxed in such country at an effective rate of tax at east equa to that imposed by this city, and the transaction giving rise to the royaty was undertaken for a vaid business purpose and refected an arm's ength reationship. (Ad. Code section (8)(n)(2)(B)(iii)); or If the taxpayer and the Department of Finance agree to aternative adjustments that more appropriatey refect the taxpayer's income. (Ad. Code section (8)(n)(2)(B)(iv)). The aw as amended aso defines the term reated member by inking it to the definition in Interna Revenue Code section 465(b)(3)(c), but substituting 50 percent for the 10 percent ownership threshod. FOR TAXPAYERS CLAIMING A NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION Taxpayers caiming a deduction for a Net Operating Loss must compete the new form NYC- NOLD-GCT, Net Operating Loss Computation and incude it with their GCT fiing. For more information see Form NYC-NOLD-GCT. REPLACEMENT OF $300 FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM TAX WITH FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM TAX BASED ON ALLOCATED RECEIPTS For tax years beginning after 2008, the $300 fixed doar minimum tax has been repaced with a siding scae fixed doar minimum tax based on receipts aocated to New York City. The siding scae is the same as the one used to determine the fixed doar minimum tax under the New York State Franchise Tax, but the receipts used to determine the fixed doar minimum tax are receipts aocated to the City instead of receipts aocated to New York State, as is done under the Franchise Tax. The amount of City receipts for this purpose is the same as the amount used for determining the taxpayer s business aocation percentage. See Ad Code (1)(E)(a)(4) as amended by Ch. 201, 17, of the Laws of TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS RELAT- ING TO THE ENACTMENT OF THE GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACT OF 1999 Existing Corporations Except for a banking corporation described in paragraphs (1) through (8) of Ad.

A corporation that was in existence prior to 2000 but first became subject to tax after 2000 is considered to have been subject to whichever tax, GCT or BCT, woud have appied based on its activities had it been a taxpayer prior to The transitiona provisions reating to the Gramm-Leach-Biey Act of 1999 with respect to existing corporations have been extended to appy to each tax year foowing As a resut, existing corporations to which the transitiona rues appy remain required to be taxed under the same tax, GCT or BCT, that appied for the preceding years.

CAPTIVE REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS (REITS) AND REGULATED IN- VESTMENT COMPANIES (RICS) Captive REITs and RICs For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, the aw has been amended to provide that a captive REIT or RIC must generay be incuded in a combined report under the Genera Corporation Tax (GCT) or Banking Corporation Tax (BCT). Under new Ad. Code (12), a REIT or RIC is a captive REIT or RIC if more than 50% of its voting stock is owned or controed, directy or indirecty, by a singe corporation. Any voting stock hed in a segregated asset account of a ife insurance corporation as described in Interna Revenue Code section 817 is not taken into account for the purpose of determining the percentage of stock ownership. As expained more beow, if a corporation subject to the GCT directy owns over 50% of the voting stock of a captive REIT or RIC or is the cosest controing sharehoder of a captive REIT or RIC, then the captive REIT or RIC must be incuded in a combined report under the GCT with that corporation.

If the corporation that is the cosest controing stockhoder is subject to tax or required to be incuded in a combined report under the GCT, then the captive REIT or RIC must be incuded in a combined report under the GCT. (3) If the corporation that directy owns or contros the voting stock of the captive REIT or captive RIC is described as a corporation that is not permitted to make a combined report as provided in Ad. Code section (4)(a)(1), (a)(2) or (a)(4), then the captive REIT or captive RIC must determine the cosest controing sharehoder under Ad. Code section (4)(a)(5)(iii) to be incuded in a combined report with that corporation. If the corporation that is the cosest controing stockhoder of the captive REIT or captive RIC is a corporation not permitted to make a combined report, then that corporation is deemed to not be in the ownership structure of the captive REIT or captive RIC, and the cosest controing stockhoder wi be determined under Ad. Code section (4)(a)(5)(iii) without regard to that corporation. (4) If a captive REIT owns the stock of a quaified REIT subsidiary (as defined in IRC section 856(i)(2)), then the quaified REIT subsidiary must be incuded in any combined report required to be made by the captive REIT that owns its stock. (5) If a captive REIT or RIC is required by any of the conditions set out herein to be incuded in a combined report with another corporation, and that other corporation is required to be incuded in a combined report with another corporation under other provisions of Ad.

Code (4)(a) or the inter-company transactions or agreement, understanding, arrangement or transaction requirement of Ad Code (4)(a)(3) is satisfied and more than 50% of the voting stock of the captive REIT or the captive RIC and substantiay a of the capita stock of that other corporation are owned and controed, directy or indirecty, by the same corporation. Computation of Tax for Captive REITs and RICs In the case of a combined report under the GCT, the tax is measured by the combined entire net income or combined capita of a the corporations incuded in the report, incuding any captive REIT or RIC. In the case of a captive REIT or RIC that must be incuded in a combined report, the entire net income of the captive REIT must be computed under Ad. Code (7) and the entire net income of a captive RIC must be computed under Ad. Code (8). In computing entire net income, the deduction under the IRC for dividends paid by the captive REIT or RIC to any member of the affiiated group that incudes the corporation that directy or indirecty owns over 50% of the voting stock of the captive REIT or RIC must be added back to the federa taxabe income of the captive REIT or RIC for tax years beginning on or after January 1, The term affiiated group is defined in IRC section 1504 without regard to the exceptions of 1504(b).

As amended, section 168(k)(1)(A) provides a 50-percent additiona first year depreciation deduction for certain new property acquired by the taxpayer after December 31, 2007, and before January 1, 2009 (in the case of certain property, before January 1, 2010), so ong as no written binding contract for the acquisition of the property existed prior to January 1, Section 1201 of Tite I of Division B of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. No , 123 Stat 115 (February 17, 2009) further amended IRC section 168(k) by extending the 50 percent additiona first year depreciation deduction to new property acquired before January 1, 2010 (in the case of certain property, before January 1, 2011). Section 2022 of the Sma Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010, Pub. L. No , 124 Stat (September 27, 2010) further amended IRC section 168(k) by extending the 50 percent additiona first year depreciation deduction to new property acquired before January 1, 2011 (in the case of certain property, before January 1, 2012.) Section 401 of the Tax Reief, Unempoyment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, Pub. L. No , 124 Stat (Dec. 17, 2010) ( 2010 Tax Reief Act ) extended and expanded additiona first-year depreciation to equa 100% of the cost of quaified property paced in service after Sept. 8, 2010 and before Jan. 1, 2012 (before Jan. 1, 2013 for certain onger-ived and transportation property); and 50% of the cost of quaified property paced in service after Dec. 31, 2011 and before Jan. 1, 2013 (after Dec. 31, 2012 and before Jan. 1, 2014 for certain onger-ived and transportation property). Section 331 of the American Taxpayer Reief Act of 2012, Pub. L. No , 126 Stat (January 2, 2013) ( 2012 Tax Reief Act ) extended the 50 percent additiona first year depreciation to quaified property acquired after December 31, 2012 and before January 1, 2014 (after December 31, 2013 and before January 1, 2015 for certain onger-ived and transportation property). Consequenty, the years in which the first year depreciation for passenger automobies under 280F(a)(1)(A) is increased by $8,000 have aso been extended. However, as discussed above the Administrative Code imits the depreciation for quaified property other than Quaified Resurgence Zone property and New York Liberty Zone property to the deduction that woud have been aowed for such property had the property been acquired by the taxpayer on September 10, 2001, and therefore, except for Quaified Resurgence Zone property, as defined in the Administrative Code and New York Liberty Zone property, the City has decouped from the federa bonus depreciation provision. The Administrative Code aso requires appropriate adjustments to the amount of any gain or oss incuded in entire net income or unincorporated business entire net income upon the disposition of any property for which the federa and New York City depreciation deductions differ. Use Form NYC-399Z for this cacuation. For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2004, other than for eigibe farmers (for purposes of the New York State farmers' schoo tax credit), the amount aowed as a deduction with respect to a sport utiity vehice that is not a passenger automobie for purposes of section 280F(d)(5) of the Interna Revenue Code is imited to the amount aowed under section 280F of the Interna Revenue Code as if the vehice were a passenger automobie as defined in that section. For SUVs that are quaified property other than quaified Resurgence Zone property and other than New York Liberty Zone property, the amount aowed as a deduction is cacuated as of the date the SUV was actuay paced in service and not as of September 10, Note that for the 2013 tax year for Genera Corporation Tax purposes: An SUV cannot quaify as either New York Resurgence Zone Property or as New York Liberty Zone property. See Administrative Code section (8)(o). An SUV cannot quaify for the additiona first year depreciation avaiabe under the Economic Stimuus Act of 2008, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the Sma Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010 and the 2010 and 2012 Tax Reief Acts. On the disposition of an SUV subject to the imitation, the amount of any gain or oss incuded in income must be adjusted to refect the imited deductions aowed for City purposes under this provision.

The issuer's aocation percentage cannot be ess than zero. Do not cacuate your issuer's aocation percentage by adding the business, investment and subsidiary capita aocation percentages and dividing that tota by the number of percentages. The issuer s aocation percentage represents the amount of capita empoyed within New York City as compared to tota capita empoyed everywhere.
