Enacts the "Empire State Windfall Profits Tax Act"
This bill establishes a new tax on businesses in New York State that experience unusually high profits. Specifically, it imposes a 25% tax on profits exceeding the company's average annual profits from 2018-2022, calculated quarterly on retail sales of goods, services, production, and manufacturing. The tax applies to "covered taxpayers," defined as businesses incorporated in New York subject to certain state business taxes. Additionally, the bill creates a rebate system where eligible New York residents receive tax credits based on revenue from this tax, with income limits ($80,000 individual/$115,000 head of household/$160,000 joint return).
