cost of any qualified emerging technologies investment purchased by the
taxpayer during the three hundred sixty-five-day period beginning on the
date of such sale, reduced by any portion of such cost previously taken
into account under this paragraph. For purposes of this paragraph the
following shall apply:

(1) A qualified investment is stock of a corporation or an interest,
other than as a creditor, in a partnership or limited liability company
that was acquired by the taxpayer as provided in Internal Revenue Code §
1202(c)(1)(B), except that the reference to the term "stock" in such

as a partnership to the extent that such partnership or limited
liability company invests in qualified emerging technology companies.

(3) For purposes of determining whether the nonrecognition of gain
under this subsection applies to a qualified emerging technologies
investment that is sold, the taxpayer's holding period for such
investment and the qualified emerging technologies investment that is
purchased shall be determined without regard to Internal Revenue Code §
1223.

13. Amounts deferred. The amount deferred under paragraph twelve of
this subdivision shall be added to entire net income when the
reinvestment in the New York qualified emerging technology company which
qualified a taxpayer for such deferral is sold.

* (14) For taxable years beginning after December thirty-first, two
thousand two, in the case of qualified property described in paragraph
two of subsection k of section 168 of the internal revenue code, other

the internal revenue code (without regard to clause (i) of subparagraph
(C) of such paragraph), which was placed in service on or after June
first, two thousand three, a taxpayer shall be allowed with respect to
such property the depreciation deduction allowable under section 167 of
the internal revenue code as such section would have applied to such
property had it been acquired by the taxpayer on September tenth, two
thousand one.

* NB There are 2 par (14)'s

* (14) Related members expense add back. (A) Definitions. (i) Related
member. "Related member" means a related person as defined in
subparagraph (c) of paragraph three of subsection (b) of section four
hundred sixty-five of the internal revenue code, except that "fifty
percent" shall be substituted for "ten percent".

(ii) Effective rate of tax. "Effective rate of tax" means, as to any
state or U.S. possession, the maximum statutory rate of tax imposed by
the state or possession on or measured by a related member's net income
multiplied by the apportionment percentage, if any, applicable to the
related member under the laws of said jurisdiction. For purposes of this
definition, the effective rate of tax as to any state or U.S. possession
is zero where the related member's net income tax liability in said
jurisdiction is reported on a combined or consolidated return including
both the taxpayer and the related member where the reported transactions
between the taxpayer and the related member are eliminated or offset.
Also, for purposes of this definition, when computing the effective rate
of tax for a jurisdiction in which a related member's net income is
eliminated or offset by a credit or similar adjustment that is dependent
upon the related member either maintaining or managing intangible
property or collecting interest income in that jurisdiction, the maximum
statutory rate of tax imposed by said jurisdiction shall be decreased to
reflect the statutory rate of tax that applies to the related member as
effectively reduced by such credit or similar adjustment.

(iii) Royalty payments. Royalty payments are payments directly
connected to the acquisition, use, maintenance or management, ownership,
sale, exchange, or any other disposition of licenses, trademarks,
copyrights, trade names, trade dress, service marks, mask works, trade
secrets, patents and any other similar types of intangible assets as
determined by the commissioner, and include amounts allowable as
interest deductions under section one hundred sixty-three of the
internal revenue code to the extent such amounts are directly or
indirectly for, related to or in connection with the acquisition, use,
maintenance or management, ownership, sale, exchange or disposition of
such intangible assets.

(iv) Valid business purpose. A valid business purpose is one or more
business purposes, other than the avoidance or reduction of taxation,
which alone or in combination constitute the primary motivation for some
business activity or transaction, which activity or transaction changes
in a meaningful way, apart from tax effects, the economic position of
the taxpayer. The economic position of the taxpayer includes an increase
in the market share of the taxpayer, or the entry by the taxpayer into
new business markets.

(B) Royalty expense add backs. (i) Except where a taxpayer is included
in a combined return with a related member pursuant to subdivision (f)
of section fifteen hundred fifteen of this article, for the purpose of
computing entire net income, a taxpayer must add back royalty payments
directly or indirectly paid, accrued, or incurred in connection with one
or more direct or indirect transactions with one or more related members
during the taxable year to the extent deductible in calculating federal
taxable income.

(ii) Exceptions. (I) The adjustment required in this paragraph shall
not apply to the portion of the royalty payment that the taxpayer
establishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the type and in the
form specified by the commissioner, meets all of the following
requirements: (a) the related member was subject to tax in this state or
another state or possession of the United States or a foreign nation or
some combination thereof on a tax base that included the royalty payment
paid, accrued or incurred by the taxpayer; (b) the related member during
the same taxable year directly or indirectly paid, accrued or incurred
such portion to a person that is not a related member; and (c) the
transaction giving rise to the royalty payment between the taxpayer and
the related member was undertaken for a valid business purpose.

(II) The adjustment required in this paragraph shall not apply if the
taxpayer establishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the type and
in the form specified by the commissioner, that: (a) the related member
was subject to tax on or measured by its net income in this state or
another state or possession of the United States or some combination
thereof; (b) the tax base for said tax included the royalty payment
paid, accrued or incurred by the taxpayer; and (c) the aggregate
effective rate of tax applied to the related member in those
jurisdictions is no less than eighty percent of the statutory rate of
tax that applied to the taxpayer under section fifteen hundred two,
fifteen hundred two-a, or fifteen hundred two-b of this article for the
taxable year.

(III) The adjustment required in this paragraph shall not apply if the
taxpayer establishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the type and
in the form specified by the commissioner, that: (a) the royalty payment
was paid, accrued or incurred to a related member organized under the
laws of a country other than the United States; (b) the related member's
income from the transaction was subject to a comprehensive income tax
treaty between such country and the United States; (c) the related
member was subject to tax in a foreign nation on a tax base that
included the royalty payment paid, accrued or incurred by the taxpayer;
(d) the related member's income from the transaction was taxed in such
country at an effective rate of tax at least equal to that imposed by
this state; and (e) the royalty payment was paid, accrued or incurred
pursuant to a transaction that was undertaken for a valid business
purpose and using terms that reflect an arm's length relationship.

(IV) The adjustment required in this paragraph shall not apply if the
taxpayer and the commissioner agree in writing to the application or use
of alternative adjustments or computations. The commissioner may, in his
or her discretion, agree to the application or use of alternative
adjustments or computations when he or she concludes that in the absence
of such agreement the income of the taxpayer would not be properly
reflected.

(15) For taxable years beginning after December thirty-first, two
thousand two, upon the disposition of property to which paragraph

subparagraph (R) of paragraph one and subparagraph (T) of paragraph two
of this subdivision attributable to such property.
