California OTA Denies Credit for NYC Business Taxes in Precedential Opinion
Posted
In the Appeal of Mather, the California Office of Tax Appeals (OTA) held in a precedential opinion that New York City’s (NYC) Unincorporated Business Tax (UBT) was not a tax “imposed by and paid to another state,” as required to claim the Other State Tax Credit (OSTC), because New York State (NYS) did not require NYC to impose the UBT. The OTA also held that the NYS Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Mobility Tax (MCTMT) met the requirements to claim the OSTC, but that the taxpayers failed to substantiate the amount of their claim.

California’s 2024-2025 Budget Seeks to Block $1.3 Billion of Refunds for Water’s Edge Taxpayers, Suspend NOL Deductions, and Limit Tax Credit Utilization
Posted
The May Revision of California’s 2024-2025 state budget seeks to block refund claims, worth approximately $1.3 billion for historical tax years, and $200 million per year going forward, by codifying informal guidance recently rejected by the Office of Tax Appeal’s (OTA) decision in the Matter of the Appeal of Microsoft Corporation & Subsidiaries (Appeal of Microsoft) and by granting the Franchise Tax Board’s (FTB) quasi-legislative rulemaking authority exempt from the procedural protections afforded by the Administrative Procedure Act. The May Revision also proposes to suspend net operating loss (NOL) deductions and limit tax credit utilization to $5 million per year for tax years 2025-2027; however, the legislature proposes to apply the changes to tax years 2024-2026 instead.
