BILL NUMBER:A5954A
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to limited liability company fees and business corporation franchise taxes for farms and commercial horse boarding operations
Purpose
To exempt farm operations from limited liability filing fees and certain business franchise taxes.
Summary of provisions
This legislation amends the Tax law to exempt farm operations from filing fees for limited liability (LLC) and S corporations.
Justification
In recently enacted state budgets, LLC and S corporation filing fees increases were proposed which will negatively impact a number of farms. These fees were increased incrementally as a LLC or S corporation's total gross income, or New York receipts, reached certain thresholds. This legislation would mitigate the financial burden from these filing fee increases for farm operations by using net farm income as reported for federal tax purposes to determine New York receipts. Because New York farms are an asset rich/cash poor business, this revision more accurately reflects total income taken in by a farm opera- tion.
