AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to providing for a credit
against the personal income tax and the franchise tax on corporations
for certain bottling, packaging and labelling expenses of wineries,

The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Section 210 of the tax law is amended by adding a new
2 subdivision 18-a to read as follows:
3 18-a. (a) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed
4 by this article equal to the amount actually expended on and after Janu-
5 ary first, two thousand thirteen for cases, bottles, carafes or other
6 containers in which wine, liquor, or beer produced for resale is pack-
7 aged and for corks and labels used in and on such containers; provided
8 such taxpayer is licensed as a winery, distillery, or brewery pursuant
9 to the provisions of section seventy-six, sixty-one or fifty-one of the
10 alcoholic beverage control law; provided that this subdivision only
11 applies to brewers that produce sixty million or fewer gallons of beer
12 in this state.
13 (b) In no event shall the credit herein provided for be allowed in an
14 amount which will reduce the tax payable to less than the minimum fixed
15 by paragraph (d) of subdivision one of this section. If, however, the
16 amount of credit allowable under this subdivision for any taxable year
17 reduces the tax to such amount, any amount of credit not deductible in
18 such taxable year may be carried over to the following year or years and
19 may be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or years.
20 § 2. Section 606 of the tax law is amended by adding a new subsection
21 (vv) to read as follows:
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[] is old law to be omitted.

3 ary first, two thousand thirteen for cases, bottles, carafes or other
4 containers in which wine, liquor or beer produced for resale is packaged

8 holic beverage control law; provided that this subsection shall only
9 apply to breweries that produce sixty million gallons of beer or fewer
10 in this state.

12 allowed in excess of the taxpayer's tax for such year. However, if the
13 amount of credit otherwise allowable under this subsection for any taxa-
14 ble year results in such excess amount, any amount of credit not deduct-
15 ible in such taxable year may be carried over to the following year or
16 years and may be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or
17 years.
