Opinion
Argued February 13, 1985
Decided March 21, 1985
Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Third Judicial Department.
Robert Abrams, Attorney-General ( Peter G. Crary and Peter H. Schiff of counsel), for appellant.
Michael Whiteman and Kevin M. Young for respondent.
Judgment reversed, with costs, and the determination of the State Tax Commission reinstated for the reasons stated in the dissenting opinion of Justice John T. Casey at the Appellate Division ( 99 A.D.2d 29, 33-34). In addition, we note that Tax Law § 1105 (c) (5) does not apply because the corporation is not an individual within the meaning of the statute.
Concur: Chief Judge WACHTLER and Judges JASEN, MEYER, SIMONS, KAYE and ALEXANDER.
