 (a)
 Generation-skipping transfer. The term "generation-skipping transfer"
 includes every transfer subject to the tax imposed by section two
 thousand six hundred one of the internal revenue code which qualifies
 for the credit for generation-skipping transfer taxes under section two
 thousand six hundred four of the internal revenue code.
 (b) New York property. The term "New York property" includes (i) real
 property situated in this state, (ii) tangible personal property with an
 actual situs in this state, (iii) intangible personal property within
 this state employed in carrying on a trade, business or occupation in
 this state and (iv) intangible personal property where the original
 transferor was a resident of this state at the time of original
 transfer.
 (c) Original transferor. The term "original transferor" means any
 grantor, donor, trustor or testator who by grant, gift, trust or will
 makes a transfer of real or personal property that results in a federal
 generation-skipping transfer tax under applicable provisions of the

§ 1022. Imposition of tax. 
 A tax is hereby imposed upon every
 generation-skipping transfer which includes New York property in an
 amount computed by multiplying the maximum amount allowable as a credit
 for state generation-skipping transfer taxes under section two thousand
 six hundred four of the internal revenue code by a fraction, the
 numerator of which is the value of the New York property included in the
 generation-skipping transfer and the denominator of which is the value
 of all the property included in the generation-skipping transfer. The
 person liable for payment of the federal generation-skipping transfer
 tax shall be liable for the tax imposed by this section.

 liable for the tax imposed by this article shall, on or before the
 fifteenth day of the fourth month after the close of the calendar year
 in which the generation-skipping transfer occurred, file a return in
 such form and containing such information as the commissioner of
 taxation and finance may prescribe. Such person shall pay the tax
 imposed on such transfer with the filing of the return.
 (b) Procedural provisions. (1) The provisions of this chapter
 applicable to the tax imposed by article twenty-six relating to a lien
 for unpaid tax upon property transferred which arises at the time of the

 tax under this article, except to the extent that any such provision is
 either inconsistent with or not relevant to this article and with such
 modification as may be necessary to adapt the language of such
 provisions to the tax imposed by this article.
