Section 101 - Imposition of tax
(a) General.-A tax at the rate of four percent is hereby imposed for each taxable year, beginning with taxable years ending after January first, nineteen hundred sixty-six, on the unincorporated business taxable income of every unincorporated business wholly or partly carried on within the city. This tax shall be in addition to any other taxes imposed.
(b) Credit against tax.-If the tax computed under subdivision (a) is six hundred dollars or less, a credit shall be allowed for the entire amount of such tax. If the tax computed under subdivision (a) exceeds six hundred dollars but is less than eight hundred dollars, a credit shall be allowed in the amount determined by multiplying such tax by a fraction the numerator of which is eight hundred dollars minus the amount of such tax and the denominator of which is two hundred dollars. If the tax computed under subdivision (a) is eight hundred dollars or more, no credit shall be allowed. If separate partnerships, joint ventures or other unincorporated entities have substantially the same partners or members, each of such partners or members has substantially the same interest in each of such partnerships, joint ventures or other unincorporated entities, and such partnerships, joint ventures or other unincorporated entities are engaged in substantially the same business or businesses or in substantially related businesses, all of such partnerships, joint ventures or other unincorporated entities shall be treated as one unincorporated business for purposes of this subdivision.
