BILL NUMBER: S22

SPONSOR: KAPLAN
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the economic development law and the tax law, in
relation to authorizing the creation of small business tax-deferred
savings accounts

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This legislation would allow any small business to deposit profits into
a small business tax-deferred savings account, up to $5,000 annually.
This money may be withdrawn tax free for certain qualifying purposes.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends economic development law by adding a new section 138-a
to create a small business tax-deferred savings account. Any small busi-
ness may make a deposit into a small business tax-deferred account, any
interest is tax free as long as used for a qualifying purpose. This

section defines a qualifying purpose as expenditures on tangible
personal property, or other tangible property including buildings, and
structural components of buildings principally used in the ordinary
course of the trade or business, and any other expenditures deemed
appropriate by the department which will improve the competiveness and
productivity of a small business and results in creation or retention of
full-time jobs. Further requires an annual report on the number of small
business taxpayers utilizing these programs, the aggregate amount depos-
ited, average amount of deposit, and the amount of qualifying and non-
qualifying withdrawals.

Section 2 amends paragraph (a) of subdivision 9 of section 208 of the
tax law, to create the tax exemption associated with the small business
savings account

Section 3 amends subsection (c ) of section 612 of the tax law by adding
a new paragraph 43 to modify federally adjusted gross income by
subtracting any withdrawal of the account

Section 4 authorizes the Department of Taxation and Finance along with
the Department of Economic Development to report and monitor on this
program.

Section 5 authorizes the Department of taxation with the Department of
Economic Development to determine rules and regulations for the program

Section 6 authorizes this act effective immediately.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Permitting small businesses to create these tax-deferred accounts will
enable, incentive and protect job creation. More importantly, these
accounts will not only create and preserve jobs but will ensure that
these jobs are full time positions. This legislation aims to assist
small businesses in a way to afford them additional financial means to
grow, preserve, and improve their business. The benefit that would be
enacted should this bill become law sets a positive message that we

understand, support, and are willing to look at various alternatives
aimed to help our small businesses.
