  • 1.  For  the  privilege of exercising its franchise or doing  business in the  metropolitan  commuter  transportation  district  in  a
      corporate  or  organized  capacity,  there  is  hereby  imposed on every
      taxpayer subject to tax under this article, other  than  a  New  York  S
      corporation, for the taxable years commencing on or after January first,
      nineteen hundred eighty-two but ending before December thirty-first, two
      thousand thirteen, a tax surcharge, in addition to the tax imposed under
      section  fourteen  hundred  fifty-one  of  this  article, at the rate of
      eighteen percent of the tax imposed under such section fourteen  hundred
      fifty-one  of  this  article, for such taxable years or any part of such
      taxable years ending  before  December  thirty-first,  nineteen  hundred
      eighty-three  after  the  deduction  of  any credits otherwise allowable
      under this article, and at the rate of  seventeen  percent  of  the  tax
      imposed  under  such  section for such taxable years or any part of such
      taxable years ending on or after December thirty-first, nineteen hundred
      eighty-three after the deduction  of  any  credits  otherwise  allowable
      under  this  article; provided however, that such rates of tax surcharge
      shall be applied only to that portion of the tax imposed  under  section
      fourteen  hundred  fifty-one  of this article after the deduction of any
      credits otherwise allowable under this article which is attributable  to
      the  taxpayer's  business  activity  carried  on within the metropolitan
      commuter transportation district; and provided, further,  that  the  tax
      surcharge imposed by this section shall not be imposed upon any taxpayer
      for  more  than three hundred seventy-two months. Provided however, that
      for taxable years commencing on or after July first, two thousand,  such
      surcharge  shall  be calculated as if the rate of the basic tax computed
      under subsection (a) of section  fourteen  hundred  fifty-five  of  this
      article was nine percent.
        2.  If  the  tax  imposed  under section fourteen hundred fifty-one is
      derived from business activity carried on both within  and  without  the
      metropolitan  commuter  transportation  district, the portion of the tax
      attributable  to  business  activity  carried  on  in  the  metropolitan
      commuter  transportation district shall be determined in accordance with
      rules and regulations promulgated by the tax commission.
        3. The provisions concerning returns under  section  fourteen  hundred
      sixty-two  of  this  article shall be applicable to this section, except
      that for purposes of an automatic extension for six months for filing  a
      return  covering  the  tax  surcharge  imposed  by  this  section,  such
      automatic extension shall be allowed only if a taxpayer files  with  the
      commissioner   an  application  for  extension  in  such  form  as  said
      commissioner may prescribe by regulation and pays on or before the  date
      of  such  filing  in  addition  to any other amounts required under this
      article, either ninety percent of the entire tax surcharge  required  to
      be  paid  under this section for the applicable period, or not less than
      the tax surcharge shown on  the  taxpayer's  return  for  the  preceding
      taxable  year,  if  such  preceding  taxable  year was a taxable year of
      twelve months. The tax  surcharge  imposed  by  this  section  shall  be
      payable  to  the commissioner in full at the time the return is required
      to be filed, and such tax surcharge or the balance thereof,  imposed  on
      any taxpayer which ceases to exercise its franchise or be subject to the
      tax   surcharge  imposed  by  this  section  shall  be  payable  to  the
      commissioner at the time the return is required to  be  filed,  provided
      such  tax surcharge of a domestic corporation which continues to possess
      its franchise shall be subject to adjustment as  the  circumstances  may
      require;  all  other tax surcharges of any such taxpayer, which pursuant
      to the foregoing provisions of this section would otherwise  be  payable
      subsequent  to  the  time  such  return  is  required to be filed, shall
    
      nevertheless be payable at such time. All  of  the  provisions  of  this
      article presently applicable are applicable to the tax surcharge imposed
      by this section.
        4.  Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of state or local law, the
      tax surcharge imposed under this section  shall  not  be  allowed  as  a
      deduction  in  the  computation  of any state or local tax imposed under
      this chapter or any chapter  or  local  law.  Furthermore,  the  credits
      otherwise  allowable under this article shall not be allowed against the
      tax surcharge imposed by this section.
        5. The term metropolitan commuter transportation district as  used  in
      this  section  shall  be  defined  pursuant  to  section  twelve hundred
      sixty-two of the public authorities law.
