     4  taxpayer, who is subject to tax under article nine, nine-A,  or  twenty-
     5  two  of  this  chapter shall be allowed a refundable credit against such
     6  tax to be computed as provided in this section, for the tax  imposed  by
     7  this article for taxable years after January first, two thousand twenty.
     8    (b) Value of credit. The amount of such credit shall be equal to twen-
     9  ty-five  percent  of  the  total  pounds of goods sold under an eligible
    10  program under subdivision (c) of this section, multiplied by one-half.
    11    (c) Eligible programs. Taxpayers that wish to claim this  credit  must
    12  demonstrate  their  agricultural  products  were sold during a period of
    13  transition in to USDA  organic  certification,  under  the  Whole  Foods

    17  any taxable year shall not reduce the tax due for such year to less than
    18  the  minimum tax fixed by this article. However, if the amount of credit
    19  allowed under this section for any taxable year reduces the tax to  such
    20  amount,  any  amount  of credit thus not deductible in such taxable year
    21  shall be treated as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded  in
    22  accordance  with  the  provisions  of section one thousand eighty-six of
    23  this chapter. Except as provided in subsection (c) of section one  thou-
    24  sand eighty-eight of this chapter, no interest shall be paid thereon.
