Corporate Income Tax Rate at a Glance

New York's top corporate income tax rate is 7.25%, applied as graduated brackets. This places New York in the "Moderate (5–7.99%)" tier among U.S. states.

Rate Structure (Flat vs. Graduated)

Article 9-A franchise tax on business income: 6.5% for taxpayers with business income $5 million or less; 7.25% for taxpayers with business income over $5 million (rate raised in 2021, extended through 2026). Alternative bases: 0.1875% capital base ($5M cap) or fixed dollar minimum based on NY receipts ($25-$200,000).

Franchise Tax / Annual Privilege Tax

New York's corporate income tax is structured as the Article 9-A 'Franchise Tax on Business Corporations.' Multiple tax bases apply (income, capital, fixed dollar minimum) and the corporation pays the highest amount.

S-Corp & Pass-Through Treatment

New York recognizes federal S-corp election but requires a separate NY S-election (Form CT-6). NY S-corps still pay a Fixed Dollar Minimum tax. Pass-through entities may elect to pay PTET (Pass-Through Entity Tax) at graduated rates up to 10.9% on NY-source income.
