General information

You must submit a completed application to Empire State Development (ESD) to claim the credit. If your application is approved, ESD will issue a certificate detailing the amount of tax credit available to claim. All determinations regarding eligibility are made by ESD.
For more information about the additional restaurant-return-to-work credit, visit the ESD website at www.esd.ny.gov and see Restaurant Return-to-Work Credit.
Eligibility
You are eligible for this credit if you:
- are subject to tax under Tax Law Article 9-A or 22;
- received the restaurant return-to-work credit for your 2021 tax year;
- did not cease operations on or before March 31, 2022; and

Credit details
The additional restaurant return-to-work credit is equal to $5,000 per each increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees that is more than 10 but no more than 20, up to a maximum of $50,000 per entity. You must use the same date you chose to compute your 2021 restaurant return-to-work credit. The jobs for these employees must continue to exist as of March 31, 2022.
The credit may not reduce the tax below the fixed dollar minimum tax.
If you have any unused amount of this credit for the current tax year, you may choose to have the overpayment of tax refunded or credited to next year’s tax. Interest will not be paid on the refund or overpayment.
You may not apply this credit to the metropolitan transportation business tax (MTA surcharge) under Article 9-A.
New York S corporations: New York S corporations will calculate the credit. However, the S corporation may not use the credit against its own tax liability. Instead, the credit is passed through to the shareholders to use against their personal income tax liabilities on their New York State income tax returns. Complete only Schedules A and B.
Combined filers: A taxpayer filing as a member of a combined group is allowed to claim the credit, which is computed on a separate basis but applied against the combined tax.
