The amount of such credit shall be: An amount equal to the annual increased payments actually made by the taxpayer to the landlord which are solely and directly attributable to an increase or addition to the real estate tax imposed upon the leased premises. Such credit shall be allowed only to the extent that the taxpayer has not otherwise claimed said amount as a deduction against the tax imposed by this chapter. The industrial and commercial incentive board in approving and certifying to the qualifications of the taxpayer to receive the tax credit provided for herein shall first determine that the applicant has met the requirements of this section, and further, that the granting of the tax credit to the applicant is in the "public interest." In determining that the granting of the tax credit is in the public interest, the board shall make affirmative findings that: the granting of the tax credit to the applicant will not effect an undue hardship on similar taxpayers already located within the city; the existence of this tax incentive has been instrumental in bringing about the relocation of the applicant to the city; and the granting of the tax credit will foster the economic recovery and economic development of the city.

Except as provided in paragraph four of this subdivision, if the amount of the credit allowable under this subdivision for any taxable year exceeds the tax imposed for such year, the excess may be carried over, in order, to the five immediately succeeding taxable years and, to the extent not previously deductible, may be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such years.

(j) (1) If a partner in an unincorporated business is taxable under this chapter and is required to include in unincorporated business taxable income his, her or its distributive share of income, gain, loss and deductions of, or guaranteed payments from, such unincorporated business, such partner shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed by this chapter equal to the lesser of the amounts determined in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this paragraph:
(A) The amount determined in this subparagraph is the product of (i) the sum of (I) the tax imposed by this chapter on the unincorporated business for its taxable year ending within or with the taxable year of the partner and paid by the unincorporated business and (II) the amount of any credit or credits taken by the unincorporated business under this section (except the credit allowed by subdivision (b) or this section) for its taxable year ending within or with the taxable year of the partner, to the extent that such credits do not reduce such unincorporated business's tax below zero, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the net total of the partner's distributive share of income, gain, loss and deductions of, and guaranteed payments from, the unincorporated business for such taxable year, and the denominator of which is the sum, for such taxable year, of the net total distributive shares of income, gain, loss and deductions of, and guaranteed payments to, all partners in the unincorporated business for whom or which such net total (as separately determined for each partner) is greater than zero.
(B) The amount determined in this subparagraph is the difference between (i) the tax computed pursuant to this chapter on the unincorporated business taxable income of the partner, without allowance of any credits allowed by this section, and (ii) the tax so computed, determined as if the partner had no such distributive share or guaranteed payments with respect to the unincorporated business, provided, however, that the amounts computed in clauses (i) and (ii) of this subparagraph shall be computed with the following modifications:
(I) such amounts shall be computed without taking into account any carryforward or carryback by the partner of a net operating loss;
(II) if, prior to taking into account any distributive share or guaranteed payments from any unincorporated business or any net operating loss carryforward or carryback, the unincorporated business taxable income of the partner is less than zero, such unincorporated business taxable income shall be treated as zero; and
(III) if such partner's net total distributive share of income, gain, loss and deductions of, and guaranteed payments from, any unincorporated business is less than zero, such net total shall be treated as zero. The amount determined in this subparagraph shall not be less than zero.
(2) (A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraph one of this subdivision, the credit or the sum of the credits that may be taken by a partner for a taxable year under this subdivision with respect to an unincorporated business or unincorporated businesses in which he, she or it is a partner shall not exceed the tax imposed on the unincorporated business taxable income of such partner under this chapter for such taxable year reduced by the credit allowed under subdivision (b) of this section. If the credit allowed under paragraph one of this subdivision or the sum of such credits exceeds such tax as so reduced, the amount of the excess may be carried forward, in order, to each of the seven immediately succeeding taxable years and, to the extent not previously taken, shall be allowed as a credit in each of such years. In applying the provisions of the preceding sentence, the credit determined for the taxable year under paragraph one of this subdivision shall be taken before taking any credit carryforward pursuant to this paragraph and the credit carryforward attributable to the earliest taxable year shall be taken before taking a credit carryforward attributable to a subsequent taxable year.
(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, in the case of a partner which is a partnership, no credit carryforward to any taxable year shall be allowed unless one or more of the partners therein during such taxable year where persons having a proportionate interest or interests, amounting to at least eighty percent of all such interests, in the unincorporated business gross income and unincorporated business deductions of the partnership which was allowed the credit for which a carryforward is claimed. In such event, the carryforward allowable on account of such credit shall not exceed the percentage of the amount otherwise allowable, determined by dividing (i) the sum of the proportionate interests in the unincorporated business gross income and unincorporated business deductions of the partnership, for the year to which the credit is carried forward, attributable to such partners, by (ii) the sum of such proportionate interests owned by all partners for such taxable year. The amount by which the carryforward otherwise allowable exceeds the amount allowable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not be a carryforward to any other taxable year.
(3) The credit allowed under this subdivision shall not be allowed to a partner in an unincorporated business with respect to any tax paid by the unincorporated business under this chapter for any taxable year beginning before July first, nineteen hundred ninety-four.
(4) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the credit allowable under this subdivision shall be taken after the credit allowed by subdivision (b) of this section is taken, but before any other credit allowed by this section is taken.
(5) The commissioner of finance of the city of New York shall convene a working group, consisting of representatives of the department of finance of the city of New York and representatives of affected industries, and other persons the commissioner deems appropriate, to study the treatment under the unincorporated business tax of income from investment and real estate activities and the impact of the credit permitted by this subdivision, including but not limited to cases where interests in a taxpayer are held by another taxpayer subject to tax on unincorporated business taxable income and the first taxpayer is entitled to claim a deduction for a net operating loss carryover and the second is not entitled to a corresponding deduction with the result, in certain cases, that the net income allocated to the second taxpayer may be subject to an effective rate of tax in excess of the rate imposed by this chapter. In addition, the working group shall also study the tax treatment of parking garages which are open or available to the general public and which also provide available space to tenants. In conducting such study, such working group shall take into account such factors as economic development, tax administration and other goals of tax policy and shall consider alternatives that would reduce disincentives for investing in corporations and other entities engaged in business in the city of New York, such as exempting income from investment activities from the tax on unincorporated business taxable income. The commissioner shall prepare a report based on the deliberations of the working group on or before April fifteenth, nineteen hundred ninety-five.
(k) Credit relating to certain sales and compensating use taxes on certain services.
(1) In addition to any other credit allowed by this section, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed by this chapter to be credited or refunded in the manner hereinafter provided in this subdivision. The amount of such credit shall be equal to the amount of sales and compensating use taxes imposed by section eleven hundred seven of the tax law during the taxpayer's taxable year (and the amount of any interest imposed in connection therewith) which was paid after January first, nineteen hundred ninety-five, less any credit or refund of such taxes (or such interest), with respect to the purchase or use by the taxpayer of the services described in subdivision (b) of section eleven hundred five-b of the tax law.
(2) The credit allowed under this subdivision for any taxable year shall be deemed to be an overpayment of tax by the taxpayer to be credited or refunded, without interest, in accordance with the provisions of section 11-526 of this chapter.
(3) Where the taxpayer receives a refund or credit of any tax imposed under section eleven hundred seven of the tax law (or of any interest imposed in connection therewith) for which the taxpayer had claimed a credit under this subdivision in a prior taxable year, the amount of such tax (or such interest) refund or credit shall be added to the tax imposed by this chapter, and such amount shall be subtracted in computing unincorporated business taxable income for the taxable year.

The amount of the credit shall be the amount determined by multiplying three thousand dollars by the number of eligible aggregate employment shares maintained by the taxpayer during the taxable year with respect to eligible premises to which the taxpayer has relocated; provided, however, that no credit shall be allowed for the relocation of any retail activity or hotel services; provided, further, that no credit shall be allowed under this subdivision to any taxpayer that has elected pursuant to subdivision (d) of section 22-624 of the code to take such credit against a gross receipts tax imposed under chapter eleven of this title. For purposes of this subdivision, the terms "eligible aggregate employment shares", "eligible premises", "relocate", "retail activity" and "hotel services" shall have the meanings ascribed by section 22-623 of the code.
(2) The credit allowed under this subdivision with respect to eligible aggregate employment shares maintained with respect to eligible premises to which the taxpayer has relocated shall be allowed for the taxable year of the relocation and for any of the twelve succeeding taxable years during which eligible aggregate employment shares are maintained with respect to eligible premises; provided that the credit allowed for the twelfth succeeding taxable year shall be calculated by multiplying the number of eligible aggregate employment shares maintained with respect to eligible premises in the twelfth succeeding taxable year by the lesser of one and a fraction the numerator of which is such number of days in the taxable year of relocation less the number of days the taxpayer maintained employment shares in eligible premises in the taxable year of relocation and the denominator of which is the number of days in such twelfth succeeding taxable year during which such eligible aggregate employment shares are maintained with respect to such premises.
(3) Except as provided in paragraph four of this subdivision, if the amount of the credit allowable under this subdivision for any taxable year exceeds the tax imposed for such year, the excess may be carried over, in order, to the five immediately succeeding taxable years and, to the extent not previously deductible, may be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such years.
(4) The credits allowed under this subdivision, against the tax imposed by this chapter for the taxable year of the relocation and for the four taxable years immediately succeeding the taxable year of such relocation, shall be deemed to be overpayments of tax by the taxpayer to be credited or refunded, without interest, in accordance with the provisions of section 11-526 of this chapter. For such taxable years, such credits or portions thereof may not be carried over to any succeeding taxable year.
(5) The credit allowable under this subdivision shall be deducted after the credits allowed by subdivisions (b), (i) and (j) of this section, but prior to the deduction of any other credit allowed by this section.
