 1 Section 1. Section 210-B of the tax law is amended by adding a new
 2 subdivision 61 to read as follows:
 3 61. First permanent payroll employee credit. (a) General. A taxpayer
 4 shall be allowed a credit, to be computed as provided in this subdivi-
 5 sion, against the tax imposed by this article for the first full-time,
 6 permanent employee such taxpayer employs, provided that such full-time,
 7 permanent employee is accounted for on such taxpayer's employer payroll
 8 records. Such credit shall be available for each of the three years
 9 succeeding the date a taxpayer employs their first full-time, permanent
 10 employee.
 11 (b) Amount of credit. A credit authorized by this subdivision shall be
 12 equal to:
 13 (1) in the first year, twenty-five percent of the total cost to employ
 14 a full-time, permanent employee, when such employee is accounted for on
 15 an employer's payroll records and is the first full-time, permanent
 16 employee such taxpayer has hired;
 17 (2) in the second year, twenty percent of the total cost to employ a
 18 full-time, permanent employee, when such employee is accounted for on an
 19 employer's payroll records and is the first full-time, permanent employ-
 20 ee such taxpayer has hired; and
 21 (3) in the third year, ten percent of the total cost to employ a full-
 22 time, permanent employee, when such employee is accounted for on an
 23 employer's payroll records and is the first full-time, permanent employ-
 24 ee such taxpayer has hired.

 1 (c) Carryovers. The credit allowed under this subdivision may be
 2 claimed and if not fully used in the initial year for which the credit
 3 is claimed may be carried over, in order, to each of the two succeeding
 4 taxable years. The credit authorized by this subdivision may not be used
 5 to reduce the tax liability of the credit claimant below zero.
 6 (d) Definitions. For purposes of this subdivision, the following terms
 7 shall have the following meanings:
 8 (1) "Total cost to employ" shall mean base salary, New York state
 9 payroll taxes and the value of employment benefits received.
