General information
The ZEA wage tax credit for all zone equivalent areas (ZEAs) expired on June 13, 2004. ZEA wage tax credit carryforwards may still be utilized; however, no additional ZEA wage tax credit can be earned in any tax year beginning after June 13, 2004. The taxpayer must attach a copy of the Certificate of Eligibility issued by Empire State Development each year that the credit is carried forward.

Schedule A -- Application of ZEA wage tax credit for the current tax year
The ZEA wage tax credit allowed in Schedule A is limited to the following: -- 50% of the tax imposed under Tax Law Article 9-A, before the addition of the metropolitan transportation business tax (MTA surcharge) or the deduction of any tax credit; or -- 50% of the tax imposed under Tax Law Article 32, before the addition of the MTA surcharge or the deduction of any tax credit; or -- for life insurance corporations, 50% of the lesser of: · thetaxcomputedunderArticle33section1505(a);or · the greater of the sum of taxes imposed under sections 1501 and 1510, or the tax computed under Article 33 section 1505(b), before the addition of the MTA surcharge or the deduction of any tax credit. -- for non-life insurance corporations, 50% of the taxes imposed under Article 33 section 1502-a before the addition of the MTA surcharge or the deduction of any tax credit. In addition, the ZEA wage tax credit allowed in Schedule A may not be applied against the following taxes: -- the greater of the tax on the minimum taxable income base or fixed dollar minimum tax as computed under Article 9-A; or -- the fixed minimum tax of $250 computed under Article 32; or -- the minimum tax of $250 under Article 33; or -- the MTA surcharge under Articles 9-A, 32, or 33. Any portion of the ZEA wage tax credit disallowed in Schedule A as a result of the above limitations may be carried forward to subsequent tax returns. Line 2 -- Enter the current year's tax after the addition of the tax on subsidiary capital and before the deduction of any tax credit or addition of the MTA surcharge. Line 3 -- For taxpayers claiming ZEA wage tax credit in only one ZEA, multiply line 2 by 50% (.5). For taxpayers who earned wage tax credits in multiple ZEAs or empire zones (EZs), or are claiming ZEA and EZ wage tax credits from more than one entity, the aggregate amount of all of the wage tax credits used in the current year cannot exceed 50% of the current year's tax. To compute your limitation, complete Schedule B and enter the line 14 result on line 3. Example: Corporation A operates in two locations in New York State, one in Buffalo and one in Elmira. Both locations are in ZEAs, and Corporation A is certified in both ZEAs. Corporation A has calculated its current year tax as $3,100 and calculates a 50% limitation of $1,550 (50% of $3,100). Corporation A claims a ZEA wage tax credit of $1,500 from its Buffalo location. Corporation A is limited to $50 of wage tax credits earned in the Elmira location ($1,550 minus $1,500 of limitation already used) that may be applied against the current year's tax. Line 4 -- Form CT-33 filers: enter tax shown on Form CT-33, line 9a; Form CT-33-A filers: enter tax shown on CT-33-A, line 10.
