 AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to providing a tax incentive to
 a taxpayer that grows base ingredients used for the production of beer

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The tax law is amended by adding a new section 37-a to read
 2 as follows:
 3 § 37-a. Supplier of beer production ingredients tax credit. (a) Gener-
 4 al. A taxpayer subject to tax under article nine-A or twenty-two of this
 5 chapter shall be allowed a credit against such taxes in the amount spec-
 6 ified in subdivision (b) of this section and pursuant to the provisions
 7 referenced in subdivision (c) of this section.
 8 (b)(1) The amount of the credit per taxpayer per taxable year (or pro
 9 rata share of earned credit in the case of a partnership) shall be equal
 10 to the cost borne by such taxpayer for the agricultural production of
 11 ingredients necessary for the production of beer. Such costs shall
 12 include the cost of seed, fertilizer, equipment, utilities, and employ-
 13 ees' salaries.
 14 (2) The credit allowed under this section shall only be applicable to
 15 that portion of a taxpayer's crop that is sold directly to a distributor
 16 registered under article eighteen of this chapter.
 17 (3) The credit allowed under this section shall only apply to the base
 18 ingredients necessary to produce beer. This credit shall not be allowed
 19 for any ingredient or product that is used for the purpose of adding
 20 flavor, color, or altering some other characteristic of the beer.
 21 (c) Cross-references. For application of the credit provided for in
 22 this section, see the following provisions of this chapter:
 23 (1) Article 9-A: Section 210-B, subdivision 61.
 24 (2) Article 22: Section 606, subsection (qqq).
