Relates to the business income rate and expanding the small business subtraction modification

This bill modifies New York's business income tax rates for small businesses with income under $390,000. It reduces the tax rate for businesses earning under $290,000 from 6.5% to 4% for tax years starting in 2026, while adjusting calculations for businesses between $290,000 and $390,000. The changes directly affect small business owners by lowering their tax burden under specific income thresholds. The bill takes effect January 1, 2026, applying to taxable years beginning on or after that date.
