(a) Initial application.
(1) An
authorized applicant shall submit an initial application to the department
prior to the completion of principal photography. In the case of a TV series an
authorized applicant shall submit such application prior to completion of
principal photography of the first episode of the series. The department, in
its sole discretion, may waive the above rule upon an authorized applicant's
showing of exigent circumstances so long as that authorized applicant has not
yet incurred qualified post production costs in New York State.
(2) After submission of the initial
application, the department may, in its sole discretion, require the authorized
applicant to have an interview with the department to discuss the details of
the initial application. A post production supervisor and post production
accountant or their designee, approved by the department, shall attend such
interview if requested by the department.
(3) The department shall approve or
disapprove the initial application based upon criteria set forth in section
230.6(a)
of this Part.
(4) After review of
the initial application, the department shall notify the authorized applicant
of its eligibility and may issue a certificate of conditional eligibility to
the authorized applicant.
(b) Final application.
(1) An applicant may submit a final
application to the department after the completion of a qualified
film.
(2) Upon receipt of the final
application, the department may request additional documentation, including
copies of receipts of qualified post production costs, to determine if the
qualified film qualifies for the Empire State Post Production Tax Credit. The
department shall approve or disapprove the final application based upon
criteria set forth in section
230.6(b)(1)-(5)
of this Part. If the final application is approved, the department shall issue
a certificate of tax credit to the approved applicant. The department shall
provide a copy of such certificate of tax credit to the Department of Taxation
and Finance. If the final application is disapproved, the department shall
provide the applicant with a notice of disapproval which shall state the
reasons therefor. Such disapproval shall be a rejection of the applicant's
final application. A disapproved applicant may appeal such decision pursuant to
section
230.9 of this
Part, or reapply pursuant to the provisions of this section.
