* §   1449-gggg.   Cooperative   housing   corporation  transfers.  1.   Notwithstanding the definition of "controlling  interest"  contained  in   subdivision  two  of  section  fourteen  hundred forty-nine-aaaa of this   article or anything to the contrary contained  in  subdivision  five  of   section  fourteen  hundred  forty-nine-aaaa  of  this  article,  the tax   imposed pursuant to  this  article  shall  apply  to  (a)  the  original   conveyance  of  shares  of stock in a cooperative housing corporation in   connection with the grant or transfer of a proprietary leasehold by  the   cooperative  corporation  or  cooperative  plan  sponsor,  and  (b)  the   subsequent conveyance of such stock in a cooperative housing corporation   in connection with the grant or transfer of a proprietary  leasehold  by   the  owner thereof. With respect to any such subsequent conveyance where   the property is an individual residential unit,  the  consideration  for   the   interest  conveyed  shall  exclude  the  value  of  any  liens  on   certificates of stock or other evidences of an ownership interest in and   a proprietary lease from a corporation or  partnership  formed  for  the   purpose  of cooperative ownership of residential interest in real estate   remaining thereon at the time of conveyance. In determining the tax on a   conveyance described in paragraph (a)  of  this  subdivision,  a  credit   shall  be allowed for a proportionate part of the amount of any tax paid   upon the conveyance to the cooperative housing corporation of  the  real   property  comprising the cooperative dwelling or dwellings to the extent   that such conveyance effectuated a mere change of identity  or  form  of   ownership  of such property and not a change in the beneficial ownership   of such property. The amount  of  the  credit  shall  be  determined  by   multiplying   the  amount  of  tax  paid  upon  the  conveyance  to  the   cooperative housing corporation by a percentage representing the  extent   to  which  such conveyance effectuated a mere change of identity or form   of ownership and not a  change  in  the  beneficial  ownership  of  such   property,  and then multiplying the resulting product by a fraction, the   numerator of which shall be the number of shares of stock conveyed in  a   transaction  described  in  paragraph  (a)  of this subdivision, and the   denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of stock of the   cooperative  housing  corporation  (including  any  stock  held  by  the   corporation). In no event, however, shall such credit reduce the tax, on   a conveyance described in paragraph (a) of this subdivision, below zero,   nor  shall  any  such  credit  be  allowed  for  a  tax  paid  more than   twenty-four months prior to the date on which  occurs  the  first  in  a   series  of  conveyances of shares of stock in an offering of cooperative   housing  corporation  shares  described  in  paragraph   (a)   of   this   subdivision.2.  Every cooperative housing corporation shall be required to file an   information return with the treasurer by July  fifteenth  of  each  year   covering  the  preceding  period of January first through June thirtieth   and by January fifteenth of each year covering the preceding  period  of   July  first through December thirty-first. The return shall contain such   information  regarding  the  conveyance  of  shares  of  stock  in   the   cooperative  housing  corporation  as  the treasurer may deem necessary,   including, but  not  limited  to,  the  names,  addresses  and  employee   identification numbers or social security numbers of the grantor and the   grantee,  the  number of shares conveyed, the date of the conveyance and   the consideration paid for such conveyance.* NB Repealed December 31, 2050
