Section 11-508. Allocation to the city  


Latest version.
  • (a) General; allocation of business
      income. If an unincorporated business is  carried  on  both  within  and
      without the city, as determined under regulations of the commissioner of
      finance, there shall be allocated to the city, in the manner provided in
      subdivision  (b),  (c)  or  (d)  of  this  section, a fair and equitable
      portion of its business income. For taxable years beginning before  July
      first,  nineteen  hundred ninety-six, if the unincorporated business has
      no regular place of business outside the  city,  all  of  such  business
      income shall be allocated to the city.
        (b)  (1)  Allocation  by taxpayer's books. For taxable years beginning
      before January first, two thousand five, the portion  allocable  to  the
      city  may  be  determined  from the books of the business if the methods
      used in keeping such books are approved by the commissioner  of  finance
      as fairly and equitably reflecting the income from the city.
        (2)(i)  If  a taxpayer determines the portion of business income to be
      allocated to the city using the method prescribed in  paragraph  one  of
      this  subdivision on a timely filed original return with respect to each
      of the two taxable years, each of which must consist of  twelve  months,
      immediately  preceding the taxpayer's first taxable year beginning on or
      after January first, two thousand five, the taxpayer may make a one-time
      election to continue to use that method for taxable years  beginning  on
      or  after January first, two thousand five and before January first, two
      thousand twelve. Such  election  shall  be  made  by  using  the  method
      prescribed  in  paragraph  one of this subdivision on an original timely
      filed return with respect to the first  taxable  year  beginning  on  or
      after  January  first,  two  thousand five and before January first, two
      thousand six. Such election may not be made, or if made, shall be deemed
      revoked as of the beginning of the taxable year if, for  either  of  the
      two  taxable  years immediately preceding the year in which the election
      is made, the commissioner of finance has determined the methods used  in
      keeping  such  books do not fairly and equitably reflect the income from
      the city.
        (ii) (A) A taxpayer  that  has  made  the  election  provided  for  in
      subparagraph  (i)  of this paragraph may revoke it by filing an original
      or amended return using an allocation method permitted by  this  section
      other  than  the  method prescribed in paragraph one of this subdivision
      unless the commissioner of finance has determined that such method  does
      not fairly and equitably reflect the income from the city.
        (B)  The  election  provided for in subparagraph (i) of this paragraph
      shall be deemed to have been revoked as of the beginning of the  taxable
      year  if,  for any taxable year during which the election is intended to
      be in effect, the  commissioner  of  finance  has  determined  that  the
      methods used in keeping the taxpayer's books do not fairly and equitably
      reflect the income from the city.
        (C)  In  the  case  of  a  taxpayer  that  is  a  partnership or other
      unincorporated entity, the election provided for in subparagraph (i)  of
      this  paragraph shall be deemed to have been revoked as of the beginning
      of the taxable  year  unless  one  or  more  of  the  persons  having  a
      proportionate  interest  or  interests,  amounting  to  more  than fifty
      percent of all such interests, in the taxpayer's unincorporated business
      gross income and unincorporated business  deductions  for  such  taxable
      year   were  persons  having  a  proportionate  interest  or  interests,
      amounting to more than fifty percent  of  all  such  interests,  in  the
      taxpayer's  unincorporated  business  gross  income  and  unincorporated
      business deductions at the end  of  the  taxpayer's  last  taxable  year
      beginning  before January first, two thousand five. For purposes of this
      clause, a transfer of an ownership interest in  unincorporated  business
      gross  income  or unincorporated business deductions upon the death of a
    
      partner or owner to such deceased partner's or owner's estate  shall  be
      disregarded  but  transfers  by  such  decedent's  estate  shall  not be
      disregarded.
        (D)  Once  the  election  provided  for  in  subparagraph  (i) of this
      paragraph has been revoked by the taxpayer pursuant  to  clause  (A)  or
      deemed  revoked pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this subparagraph, the
      taxpayer shall be barred from using the method prescribed  in  paragraph
      one  of  this subdivision for the taxable year in which the election has
      been revoked or deemed revoked and any subsequent taxable year.
        (c) Allocation by formula. If subdivision (b) does not  apply  to  the
      taxpayer,  the  portion  allocable  to  the  city shall be determined by
      multiplying (A)  the  business  income  by  (B)  a  business  allocation
      percentage  to be determined by adding together the percentages computed
      under paragraphs one, two and three of this  subdivision,  and  dividing
      the  result  by  the  number of percentages; provided, however, that for
      taxable years  beginning  on  or  after  July  first,  nineteen  hundred
      ninety-six, a taxpayer that is a "manufacturing business," as defined in
      subdivision  (g)  of this section, may determine its business allocation
      percentage as provided in such subdivision (g):
        (1) Property percentage. The percentage computed by dividing  (A)  the
      average  of  the value, at the beginning and end of the taxable year, of
      real and tangible personal property connected  with  the  unincorporated
      business  and  located within the city, by (B) the average of the value,
      at the beginning and end of the taxable year, of all real  and  tangible
      personal property connected with the unincorporated business and located
      both  within  and  without the city. For this purpose, for taxable years
      beginning before January first, two thousand five, real  property  shall
      include  real  property  rented  to the unincorporated business and, for
      this purpose, for taxable years beginning on and  after  January  first,
      two  thousand  five,  real  and tangible personal property shall include
      real  and  tangible  personal  property  rented  to  the  unincorporated
      business  and  the  value  of  such  real and tangible personal property
      rented to the unincorporated business shall  mean  the  product  of  (i)
      eight  and  (ii) the gross rents payable for the rental of such property
      during the taxable year.
        (2) Payroll percentage. The percentage computed by  dividing  (A)  the
      total  wages,  salaries  and other personal service compensation paid or
      incurred during the taxable year to employees  in  connection  with  the
      unincorporated  business carried on within the city, by (B) the total of
      all wages, salaries and other  personal  service  compensation  paid  or
      incurred  during  the  taxable  year to employees in connection with the
      unincorporated business carried on both within and without the city.
        (3) Gross income percentage. The percentage computed by  dividing  (A)
      the  gross  sales  or  charges  for  services performed by or through an
      agency located within the city, by (B) the total of all gross  sales  or
      charges for services performed within and without the city. The sales or
      charges  to  be allocated to the city shall include all sales negotiated
      or consummated, and charges for  services  performed,  by  an  employee,
      agent,  agency  or independent contractor chiefly situated at, connected
      by contract or  otherwise  with,  or  sent  out  from,  offices  of  the
      unincorporated  business,  or  other agencies, situated within the city;
      provided, however, that for taxable years beginning  on  or  after  July
      first,  nineteen hundred ninety-six, sales of tangible personal property
      shall not be allocated to the city  as  hereinabove  in  this  paragraph
      provided,  but  shall  be allocated to the city only where shipments are
      made to points within the city, and provided, further, that:
        (A) for taxable years beginning on or after July first,  two  thousand
      five,   for  taxpayers  having  gross  receipts  for  the  taxable  year
    
      (determined without regard to any deductions) of less than  one  hundred
      thousand  dollars,  charges for services performed shall be allocated to
      the city to the extent that the services are performed within the city;
        (B)  for  taxable years beginning on or after July first, two thousand
      six,  for  taxpayers  having  gross  receipts  for  the   taxable   year
      (determined without regard to any deductions) of less than three hundred
      thousand  dollars,  charges for services performed shall be allocated to
      the city to the extent that the services are performed within the  city;
      and
        (C)  for  taxable years beginning on or after July first, two thousand
      seven, for all other taxpayers, charges for services performed shall  be
      allocated  to  the  city  to  the extent that the services are performed
      within the city.
        (d) Other allocation methods. The portion allocable to the city  shall
      be   determined   in  accordance  with  rules  and  regulations  of  the
      commissioner of finance if  it  shall  appear  to  the  commissioner  of
      finance  that  the  income  from  the  city  is not fairly and equitably
      reflected under the provisions of either subdivision (b) or  subdivision
      (c) of this section.
        (e)  Special  rules  for  real  estate. Income and deductions from the
      rental of real property, and gain and loss from the  sale,  exchange  or
      other  disposition  of real property, shall not be subject to allocation
      under subdivision (b), (c),  or  (d)  of  this  section,  but  shall  be
      considered  as  entirely derived from or connected with the state, other
      than this state, in which such property is located or, if such  property
      is  located  in  this  state,  the political subdivision thereof. To the
      extent that anything in the preceding sentence is inconsistent with  any
      provision  of  subdivision  (d)  of  section  11-502, subdivision (c) of
      section 11-506 or subdivision sixteen of section 11-507 of this chapter,
      the provisions of such  subdivisions  shall  take  precedence  over  the
      provisions of the preceding sentence.
        (e-1)   Special   rules   for   publishers   and   broadcasters.   (1)
      Notwithstanding anything in paragraph three of subdivision (c)  of  this
      section to the contrary and except as provided in paragraph four of this
      subdivision,  in  the  case  of  a  taxpayer  engaged in the business of
      publishing newspapers or periodicals, there shall be  allocated  to  the
      city,  for  purposes of such paragraph three, the gross sales or charges
      for services arising from sales of  subscriptions  to,  and  advertising
      contained  in,  such  newspapers or periodicals, to the extent that such
      newspapers or periodicals are delivered to points within the city.
        (2) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph three of subdivision (c)  of
      this section to the contrary and except as provided in paragraph four of
      this  subdivision,  in the case of a taxpayer engaged in the business of
      broadcasting radio or television programs, whether  through  the  public
      airwaves  or by cable, direct or indirect satellite transmission, or any
      other means of transmission, there shall be allocated to the  city,  for
      purposes  of  such  paragraph  three,  a  portion  of the gross sales or
      charges for services arising from the  sale  of  subscriptions  to  such
      programs  or  from  the  broadcasting of such programs and of commercial
      messages  in  connection  therewith,  such  portion  to  be   determined
      according  to  the number of listeners or viewers within and without the
      city.
        (3) Notwithstanding anything in this section (other  than  subdivision
      (e)  of this section) to the contrary, in the case of a taxpayer that is
      substantially engaged, in the  aggregate,  in  any  combination  of  the
      businesses  referred  to  in  paragraphs  one,  two  and  four  of  this
      subdivision, the portion of business income allocable to the city  shall
      be  determined  in  accordance with the provisions of subdivision (c) of
    
      this section (as modified by  paragraphs  one,  two  and  four  of  this
      subdivision),  unless  the  commissioner  of finance determines that the
      business income from the city is  not  fairly  and  equitably  reflected
      under  the  provisions  of  such  subdivision  (c),  in  which event the
      provisions of subdivision (d) of this section shall apply in determining
      the portion of business income allocable to the city and the  provisions
      of subdivision (b) of this section shall not apply. For purposes of this
      subdivision, a taxpayer shall be deemed to be substantially engaged in a
      business  or  businesses  referred  to in such paragraphs one and two if
      more than ten percent of the taxpayer's gross receipts for  the  taxable
      year are attributable to such business or businesses.
        (4)   Notwithstanding  anything  in  paragraph  one  or  two  of  this
      subdivision to the contrary, for taxable years  beginning  on  or  after
      January  first,  two  thousand two, in the case of a taxpayer engaged in
      the business of publishing newspapers or  periodicals,  or  broadcasting
      radio  or television programs, whether through the public airwaves or by
      cable, direct or indirect satellite transmission, or any other means  of
      transmission,  there  shall  be  allocated  to the city, for purposes of
      paragraph three of subdivision (c) of this section, the gross  sales  or
      charges  to  subscribers  located  in the city for subscriptions to such
      newspapers, periodicals, or  program  services.  For  purposes  of  this
      paragraph,  a  subscriber shall be deemed located in the city if, in the
      case  of  newspapers  and  periodicals,  the  mailing  address  for  the
      subscription  is  within  the city and, in the case of program services,
      the billing address  for  the  subscription  is  within  the  city.  For
      purposes of this clause, "subscriber" shall mean a member of the general
      public who receives such newspapers, periodicals or program services and
      does not further distribute them.
        (e-2)   Rules   for  receipts  from  certain  services  to  investment
      companies.  (1) For taxable years beginning on or after  January  first,
      two  thousand one, for purposes of paragraph three of subdivision (c) of
      this section, the  portion  of  receipts  received  from  an  investment
      company   arising   from  the  sale  of  management,  administration  or
      distribution  services  to  such  investment   company   determined   in
      accordance  with  paragraph  two  of this subdivision shall be deemed to
      arise from services performed within the city (such portion referred  to
      herein as the New York city portion).
        (2)  The  New  York  city portion shall be the product of the total of
      such receipts from the  sale  of  such  services  and  a  fraction.  The
      numerator  of  that  fraction  is the sum of the monthly percentages (as
      defined  hereinafter)  determined  for  each  month  of  the  investment
      company's  taxable  year  for  federal income tax purposes which taxable
      year ends within the taxable year of the  taxpayer  (but  excluding  any
      month  during  which  the investment company had no outstanding shares).
      The monthly percentage for each such month is determined by dividing the
      number of shares in the investment company which are owned on  the  last
      day  of  the month by shareholders that are domiciled in the city by the
      total number of shares in the investment  company  outstanding  on  that
      date.  The  denominator  of  the  fraction is the number of such monthly
      percentages.
        (3)(A) For purposes of this subdivision the term  "domicile",  in  the
      case  of  an  individual  shall  have  the  meaning ascribed to it under
      chapter seventeen of this title; an estate or trust is domiciled in  the
      city  if  it  is a city resident estate or trust as defined in paragraph
      three of subdivision (b) of section 11-1705 of  this  code;  a  business
      entity  is  domiciled  in the city if the location of the actual seat of
      management or control is in the city. It  shall  be  presumed  that  the
      domicile of a shareholder, with respect to any month, is his, her or its
    
      mailing  address on the records of the investment company as of the last
      day of such month.
        (B)  For  purposes  of this subdivision, the term "investment company"
      means a regulated investment company, as defined in section 851  of  the
      internal revenue code, and a partnership to which section 7704(a) of the
      internal  revenue  code applies (by virtue of section 7704(c)(3) of such
      code) and that meets the requirements of section 851(b)  of  such  code.
      The  preceding sentence shall be applied to the taxable year for federal
      income  tax  purposes  of  the  business  entity  that  is  asserted  to
      constitute  an  investment  company that ends within the taxable year of
      the taxpayer.
        (C) For purposes of this  subdivision,  the  term  "receipts  from  an
      investment   company"   includes   amounts  received  directly  from  an
      investment company as well as amounts received from the shareholders  in
      such investment company in their capacity as such.
        (D)  For  purposes of this subdivision, the term "management services"
      means the rendering of  investment  advice  to  an  investment  company,
      making  determinations  as to when sales and purchases of securities are
      to be made on behalf  of  an  investment  company,  or  the  selling  or
      purchasing  of  securities constituting assets of an investment company,
      and related activities, but only where such activity or  activities  are
      performed  pursuant  to  a  contract with the investment company entered
      into pursuant to section 15(a) of the federal investment company act  of
      nineteen hundred forty, as amended.
        (E) For purposes of this subdivision, the term "distribution services"
      means   the   services   of  advertising,  servicing  investor  accounts
      (including redemptions),  marketing  shares  or  selling  shares  of  an
      investment  company, but, in the case of advertising, servicing investor
      accounts (including redemptions) or marketing shares,  only  where  such
      service is performed by a person who is (or was, in the case of a closed
      end  company) also engaged in the service of selling such shares. In the
      case of an open end company, such service  of  selling  shares  must  be
      performed  pursuant to a contract entered into pursuant to section 15(b)
      of the federal investment company act  of  nineteen  hundred  forty,  as
      amended.
        (F)  For  purposes  of  this  subdivision,  the  term  "administration
      services" includes clerical, accounting, bookkeeping,  data  processing,
      internal  auditing,  legal  and tax services performed for an investment
      company but only if the provider of such service or services during  the
      taxable  year  in  which  such  service  or services are sold also sells
      management or distribution services, as  defined  hereinabove,  to  such
      investment company.
        (e-3)   Rules  for  receipts  for  services  performed  by  registered
      securities or commodities brokers or dealers.
        (1) For taxable years beginning after two thousand eight, in the  case
      of  a taxpayer which is a registered securities or commodities broker or
      dealer, for purposes of paragraph  three  of  subdivision  (c)  of  this
      section, the receipts specified in subparagraphs (A) through (G) of this
      paragraph  shall  be  deemed to arise from services performed within the
      city to the extent set forth in such subparagraphs.
        (A) Receipts  constituting  brokerage  commissions  derived  from  the
      execution  of securities or commodities purchase or sales orders for the
      accounts of customers shall be deemed to arise from  services  performed
      at  the  mailing  address in the records of the taxpayer of the customer
      who is responsible for paying such commissions.
        (B)  Receipts  constituting  margin  interest  earned  on  behalf   of
      brokerage  accounts  shall be deemed to arise from services performed at
    
      the mailing address in the records of the taxpayer of the  customer  who
      is responsible for paying such margin interest.
        (C)  Gross  income,  including any accrued interest or dividends, from
      principal transactions for  the  purchase  or  sale  of  stocks,  bonds,
      foreign  exchange and other securities or commodities (including futures
      and  forward  contracts,  options  and  other  types  of  securities  or
      commodities  derivatives  contracts)  shall  be  deemed  to  arise  from
      services performed within  the  city  either  (i)  to  the  extent  that
      production  credits are awarded to branches, offices or employees of the
      taxpayer within the city as a result of such principal  transactions  or
      (ii)  if  the  taxpayer so elects, to the extent that the gross proceeds
      from such principal transactions (determined without deduction  for  any
      cost  incurred by the taxpayer to acquire the securities or commodities)
      are generated from sales  of  securities  or  commodities  to  customers
      within  the  city  based upon the mailing addresses of such customers in
      the records of the  taxpayer.  For  purposes  of  clause  (ii)  of  this
      subparagraph,  the taxpayer shall separately calculate such gross income
      from principal transactions  by  type  of  security  or  commodity.  For
      purposes  of this subparagraph, gross income from principal transactions
      shall be determined after the deduction of  any  cost  incurred  by  the
      taxpayer  to acquire the securities or commodities. For purposes of this
      subdivision,  the  term  "production  credits"  means  credits   granted
      pursuant  to  the  internal  accounting  system  used by the taxpayer to
      measure the amount of revenue that should be  awarded  to  a  particular
      branch or office or employee of the taxpayer which is based, at least in
      part,  on  the  branch's,  the  office's  or  the  employee's particular
      activities. Upon request, the taxpayer shall be required  to  furnish  a
      detailed   explanation   of  such  internal  accounting  system  to  the
      department.
        (D) (i) Receipts constituting fees earned by the taxpayer for advisory
      services to a customer in connection with the underwriting of securities
      for such customer (such customer being the entity which is contemplating
      issuing or is issuing securities) or fees earned  by  the  taxpayer  for
      managing  an  underwriting  shall  be  deemed  to  arise  from  services
      performed at the mailing address in the records of the taxpayer of  such
      customer who is responsible for paying such fees.
        (ii)  Receipts  constituting  the primary spread or selling concession
      from underwritten securities shall be  deemed  to  arise  from  services
      performed  within  the  city  to  the extent that production credits are
      awarded to branches, offices or employees of  the  taxpayer  within  the
      city as a result of the sale of the underwritten securities.
        (iii) The term "primary spread" means the difference between the price
      paid  by the taxpayer to the issuer of the securities being marketed and
      the  price  received  from  the  subsequent  sale  of  the  underwritten
      securities  at  the  initial  public  offering  price,  less any selling
      concession and any fees paid to the taxpayer for  advisory  services  or
      any  manager's  fees,  if  such fees are not paid by the customer to the
      taxpayer separately. The term "public offering price"  means  the  price
      agreed  upon  by the taxpayer and the issuer at which the securities are
      to be offered to the public. The term  "selling  concession"  means  the
      amount  paid  to the taxpayer for participating in the underwriting of a
      security where the taxpayer is not the lead underwriter.
        (E) Receipts constituting interest earned by the taxpayer on loans and
      advances made by the taxpayer to an entity affiliated with the  taxpayer
      shall  be deemed to arise from services performed at the principal place
      of  business  of  such  affiliated  entity.   For   purposes   of   this
      subparagraph, an entity shall be considered affiliated with the taxpayer
    
      if  such  entity  and  the  taxpayer  have eighty percent or more common
      direct or indirect, actual or beneficial ownership.
        (F)  Receipts constituting account maintenance fees shall be deemed to
      arise from services performed at the mailing address in the  records  of
      the  taxpayer of the customer who is responsible for paying such account
      maintenance fees.
        (G) Receipts constituting fees for management  or  advisory  services,
      including   fees   for  advisory  services  in  relation  to  merger  or
      acquisition activities, but excluding fees paid for  services  described
      in  paragraph  one of subdivision (e-2) of this section, shall be deemed
      to arise from services performed at the mailing address in  the  records
      of the taxpayer of the customer who is responsible for paying such fees.
        (2) For purposes of this subdivision, the term "securities" shall have
      the  same  meaning  as in section 475(c)(2) of the internal revenue code
      and the term "commodities" shall have the same  meaning  as  in  section
      475(e)(2)  of  such code. The term "registered securities or commodities
      broker or dealer" means a broker or dealer registered  as  such  by  the
      securities  and  exchange  commission or the commodities futures trading
      commission, and shall include an OTC derivatives dealer as defined under
      regulations of the securities and exchange commission at title 17,  part
      240,   section  3b-12  of  the  code  of  federal  regulations  (17  CFR
      240.3b-12).
        (3) If the  taxpayer  receives  any  of  the  receipts  enumerated  in
      paragraph   (1)  of  this  subdivision  as  a  result  of  a  securities
      correspondent relationship such taxpayer  has  with  another  registered
      securities  or  commodities broker or dealer with the taxpayer acting in
      this relationship as the clearing firm, such receipts shall be deemed to
      arise from services performed within the city to the extent set forth in
      each of the subparagraphs in paragraph  (1)  of  this  subdivision.  The
      amount  of  such  receipts  shall  exclude  the  amount  the taxpayer is
      required to  pay  to  the  correspondent  firm  for  such  correspondent
      relationship. If the taxpayer receives any of the receipts enumerated in
      paragraph   (1)  of  this  subdivision  as  a  result  of  a  securities
      correspondent relationship such taxpayer  has  with  another  registered
      securities  or  commodities broker or dealer with the taxpayer acting in
      this relationship as the introducing firm, such receipts shall be deemed
      to arise from services performed within the city to the extent set forth
      in each of the subparagraphs in paragraph (1) of this subdivision.
        (4) If, for  purposes  of  subparagraph  (A),  (B),  (F),  or  (G)  of
      paragraph (1) of this subdivision, and clause (i) of subparagraph (C) of
      paragraph  (1)  of  this  subdivision,  the  taxpayer is unable from its
      records to determine the mailing address of the customer,  the  receipts
      described  in  any of such subparagraphs and such clause shall be deemed
      to arise from services performed at the branch or office of the taxpayer
      that generates the transaction for  the  customer  that  generated  such
      receipts.
        (f)  Allocation  of investment income. (1) The investment income of an
      unincorporated business shall be allocated to the  city  by  multiplying
      such  investment  income  by  an  investment allocation percentage to be
      determined as follows:
        (A) multiply the amount of its investment  capital  invested  in  each
      stock,  bond  or  other  security  (other  than governmental securities)
      during the period covered by  its  return  by  the  issuer's  allocation
      percentage (determined as provided in paragraph two of this subdivision)
      of the issuer or obligor thereof:
        (B) add together the products so obtained; and
        (C)  divide the sum so obtained by the total of its investment capital
      invested during such period in stocks, bonds and other securities;
    
      provided, however, that in case any investment capital  is  invested  in
      any  stock,  bond  or other security during only a portion of the period
      covered by the return, only such portion of such capital shall be  taken
      into  account;  and  provided,  further, that if a taxpayer's investment
      allocation  percentage is zero, interest received on bank accounts shall
      be allocated in the manner provided in subdivision (b), (c)  or  (d)  of
      this section.
        (2)  (A)  In  the  case  of  an issuer or obligor subject to tax under
      subchapter two of chapter six of this title, or  subject  to  tax  as  a
      utility  corporation  under  chapter  eleven of this title, the issuer's
      allocation percentage shall be the percentage of the appropriate measure
      (as defined hereinafter) which is required to be  allocated  within  the
      city on the report or reports, if any, required of the issuer or obligor
      under  chapter  six  or eleven of this title for the preceding year. The
      appropriate measure referred to in the preceding sentence shall  be:  in
      the  case  of  an issuer or obligor subject to subchapter two of chapter
      six of this title, entire capital; and in  the  case  of  an  issuer  or
      obligor   subject   to  chapter  eleven  of  this  title  as  a  utility
      corporation, gross income.
        (B) In the case of an issuer or obligor subject to tax under part four
      of  subchapter  three  of  chapter  six  of  this  title,  the  issuer's
      allocation percentage shall be determined as follows:
        (i)  In  the case of a banking corporation described in paragraphs one
      through eight of subdivision (a) of section 11-640 of this  title  which
      is  organized  under  the  laws  of the United States, this state or any
      other state of the United States,  the  issuer's  allocation  percentage
      shall  be  its  alternative  entire net income allocation percentage, as
      defined in subdivision (c) of section 11-642  of  this  title,  for  the
      preceding  year.  In  the  case  of  such  a  banking  corporation whose
      alternative  entire  net  income  for  the  preceding  year  is  derived
      exclusively  from  business  carried  on  within  the city, its issuer's
      allocation percentage shall be one hundred percent.
        (ii) In the case of a banking corporation described in  paragraph  two
      of  subdivision  (a)  of section 11-640 of this title which is organized
      under the laws of a country other than the United States,  the  issuer's
      allocation  percentage  shall  be  determined by dividing (I) the amount
      described in  clause  (i)  of  subparagraph  (A)  of  paragraph  two  of
      subdivision  (a)  of  section  11-642 of this title with respect to such
      issuer or obligor for the preceding year, by (II) the  gross  income  of
      such  issuer  or  obligor from all sources within and without the United
      States, for such preceding year, whether or not included in  alternative
      entire net income for such year.
        (iii)  In the case of an issuer or obligor described in paragraph nine
      of subdivision (a) or in paragraph two of  subdivision  (d)  of  section
      11-640  of  this  title,  the  issuer's  allocation  percentage shall be
      determined by dividing the portion of the entire capital of  the  issuer
      or  obligor  allocable  to the city for the preceding year by the entire
      capital, wherever located, of the issuer or obligor  for  the  preceding
      year.
        (C)  Provided,  however, that if a report or reports for the preceding
      year are not filed, or if filed do not contain information  which  would
      permit  the  determination  of such issuer's allocation percentage, then
      the issuer's allocation percentage to be used shall, at  the  discretion
      of  the  commissioner  of finance, be either (i) the issuer's allocation
      percentage derived from the most recently filed report or reports of the
      issuer or obligor or (ii) a percentage calculated, by  the  commissioner
      of  finance,  reasonably  to indicate the degree of economic presence in
      the city of the issuer or obligor during the preceding year.
    
        (3) For purposes of this  subdivision,  investment  capital  shall  be
      determined  by  taking  the  average  value of the gross assets included
      therein  (less  liabilities  deductible  therefrom   pursuant   to   the
      provisions  of  subdivision  (h) of section 11-501 of this chapter). The
      value  of  investment  capital  which  consists of marketable securities
      shall be the fair market value  thereof  and  the  value  of  investment
      capital  other  than  marketable  securities  shall be the value thereof
      shown on the  books  and  records  of  the  unincorporated  business  in
      accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
        (g) Special rules for manufacturing businesses.  (1) For taxable years
      beginning on or after July first, nineteen hundred ninety-six and before
      January  first,  two thousand eleven, a manufacturing business may elect
      to determine its business allocation percentage by adding  together  the
      percentages   determined   under   paragraphs  one,  two  and  three  of
      subdivision (c) of this section and an additional  percentage  equal  to
      the  percentage  determined  under paragraph three of subdivision (c) of
      this section, and dividing the result by the number  of  percentages  so
      added together.
        (2)  An election under this subdivision must be made on a timely filed
      (determined with regard to extensions granted) original return  for  the
      taxable  year.  Once  made  for  a  taxable year, such election shall be
      irrevocable for that taxable year. A separate election must be made  for
      each  taxable  year. A manufacturing business that has failed to make an
      election as provided in this paragraph shall be  required  to  determine
      its  business  allocation percentage without regard to the provisions of
      this subdivision. Notwithstanding anything  in  this  paragraph  to  the
      contrary,  the  commissioner  of  finance  may  permit  a  manufacturing
      business to make or revoke an election under this subdivision, upon such
      terms and conditions  as  the  commissioner  may  prescribe,  where  the
      commissioner  determines  that  such permission should be granted in the
      interests of fairness and  equity  due  to  a  change  in  circumstances
      resulting from an audit adjustment.
        (3)  As  used  in  this subdivision, the term "manufacturing business"
      means an unincorporated business primarily engaged in the  manufacturing
      and   sale   thereof   of  tangible  personal  property;  and  the  term
      "manufacturing" includes the process (including  the  assembly  process)
      (i)  of  working raw materials into wares suitable for use or (ii) which
      gives new shapes, new qualities or  new  combinations  to  matter  which
      already  has  gone  through  some  artificial  process,  by  the  use of
      machinery,  tools,  appliances   and   other   similar   equipment.   An
      unincorporated  business  shall be deemed to be primarily engaged in the
      activities described in  the  preceding  sentence  if  more  than  fifty
      percent  of  its gross receipts for the taxable year are attributable to
      such activities.
        (h) Notwithstanding subdivision (d)  of  this  section,  if  it  shall
      appear  to  the  commissioner of finance that any business or investment
      allocation  percentage  determined  as  hereinabove  provided  does  not
      properly  reflect the activity, business, or income of a taxpayer within
      the city, the commissioner of finance shall be authorized in his or  her
      discretion,  in  the case of a business allocation percentage, to adjust
      it by (1) excluding one or more of the factors  therein;  (2)  including
      one or more factors, such as expenses, purchases, contract values (minus
      subcontract  values); (3) excluding one or more assets in computing such
      allocation percentage, provided the income therefrom is also excluded in
      determining unincorporated business entire net income, or (4) any  other
      similar  or  different  method  calculated  to  effect a fair and proper
      allocation of the income reasonably attributable to the city, and in the
      case of an investment allocation percentage, to adjust it  by  excluding
    
      one  or  more  assets  in computing such percentage; provided the income
      therefrom is also excluded in determining unincorporated business entire
      net income. The commissioner of finance from time to time shall  publish
      all  rulings  of general public interest with respect to any application
      of the provisions of this subdivision.
        (i) Notwithstanding subdivision (c) of this section,  but  subject  to
      subdivision  (g)  of  this  section,  the business allocation percentage
      shall be computed in the manner set forth in this subdivision.
