What A 3551 does, verified September 10, 2025

The bill aims to modify the business income tax rate in New York. It sets a lower tax rate for small businesses with a business income base of less than $290,000. For taxable years starting in 2026, the tax rate will be 4% of the business income base if it's less than $290,000. If the business income base is more than $290,000 but not over $390,000, the tax rate will be 4% of the excess over $290,000 plus 18.13% of the excess over $350,000. This new tax rate structure will apply to taxable years starting in 2026.
