The modification allowable under\nthis subsection shall be utilized with respect to the taxable year in\nwhich the twelve month retention period ends. The commissioner of\ntaxation and finance may require annual information reports on the\ninvestments in new businesses made pursuant to this subsection, and such\nother reports as he may require to ensure against the evasion of the\nintent and purposes of this subsection.\n (q) An amount deferred under subsection (p) hereof shall be added to\nfederal adjusted gross income when the reinvestment in the New York new\nbusiness which qualified a taxpayer for such deferral is sold.\n (r) Related members expense add back.

For purposes of this\ndefinition, the effective rate of tax as to any state or U.S. possession\nis zero where the related member's net income tax liability in said\njurisdiction is reported on a combined or consolidated return including\nboth the taxpayer and the related member where the reported transactions\nbetween the taxpayer and the related member are eliminated or offset.\nAlso, for purposes of this definition, when computing the effective rate\nof tax for a jurisdiction in which a related member's net income is\neliminated or offset by a credit or similar adjustment that is dependent\nupon the related member either maintaining or managing intangible\nproperty or collecting interest income in that jurisdiction, the maximum\nstatutory rate of tax imposed by said jurisdiction shall be decreased to\nreflect the statutory rate of tax that applies to the related member as\neffectively reduced by such credit or similar adjustment.\n (C) Royalty payments. Royalty payments are payments directly connected\nto the acquisition, use, maintenance or management, ownership, sale,\nexchange, or any other disposition of licenses, trademarks, copyrights,\ntrade names, trade dress, service marks, mask works, trade secrets,\npatents and any other similar types of intangible assets as determined\nby the commissioner, and include amounts allowable as interest\ndeductions under section one hundred sixty-three of the internal revenue\ncode to the extent such amounts are directly or indirectly for, related\nto or in connection with the acquisition, use, maintenance or\nmanagement, ownership, sale, exchange or disposition of such intangible\nassets.\n (D) Valid business purpose. A valid business purpose is one or more\nbusiness purposes, other than the avoidance or reduction of taxation,\nwhich alone or in combination constitute the primary motivation for some\nbusiness activity or transaction, which activity or transaction changes\nin a meaningful way, apart from tax effects, the economic position of\nthe taxpayer.
