CT-613-I

Claim for Environmental Remediation Insurance Credit
Under Article 9, the credit must first be deducted from the tax imposed by section 183. Any credit remaining may then be deducted from the tax imposed by section 184. The credit is not allowed against the metropolitan transportation business tax (MTA surcharge) under Article 9, 9-A, 32, or 33. Any unused amount of credit in the current tax year will be treated as a refund or an overpayment of tax to be credited to next year's tax. Interest will not be paid on the refund or overpayment. Note: If you deducted insurance premiums paid for environmental remediation insurance to compute federal taxable income, you must add back the amount of credit taken on your franchise tax return when computing entire net income.

General information
For tax years beginning on or after April 1, 2005, an environmental remediation insurance credit is allowed to taxpayers for premiums paid for environmental remediation insurance with respect to a qualified brownfield site. The environmental remediation insurance credit is available to taxpayers subject to tax under Tax Law Articles 9 (sections 183, 184, and 185), 9-A, 22, 32, and 33. Eligibility -- To qualify for the credit, you must execute a Brownfield Cleanup Agreement (BCA) under the Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) and have a Certificate of Completion (COC) issued by the Commissioner of Environmental Conservation. You must also have a certification form issued by your insurer, certifying that the insurance coverages qualify for the credit. For more information about the Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP), visit the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Web site at www.dec.ny.gov. The amount of the credit is the lesser of: · 50%oftheeligiblepremiumspaidbythetaxpayeronorafterthe date of execution of the BCA executed by the taxpayer and DEC, or · $30,000. Arelocatedvendortrackmaynotreceivemorethan$25millionin brownfield tax credits (including the brownfield redevelopment tax credit, remediated brownfield credit for real property taxes, and environmental remediation insurance credit) and other benefits of the brownfield program. The credit is allowed for the tax year in which the COC is issued. Complete a separate Form CT-613 for each COC for which credit is being claimed. Note: If the COC is issued in a tax year that began prior to April 1, 2005, the issue date of the COC is treated as if that date occurred in the taxpayer's first tax year beginning on or after April 1, 2005. The credit is allowed only once with the particular COC, and the credit is not allowed for a qualified site for which a COC is issued after March 31, 2015. If the COC is revoked, the amount of the credit previously allowed must be recaptured in the tax year in which the determination is final. Complete a separate Form CT-613 for each COC for which recapture is required. The amount of credit allowed cannot reduce the tax due to less than the minimum tax due under Article 9 (sections 183 and 185), 32, or 33 or the greater of the tax on the minimum taxable income base or the fixed dollar minimum under Article 9-A.
