In no event shall any amount (other than the amount to be deducted for administering, collecting and distributing such tax) be distributed or paid from the stock transfer tax fund to any person other than the municipal assistance corporation for the city of New York unless and until the aggregate of all payments certified to the comptroller as required by such corporation in order to comply with its agreements with the holders of its notes and bonds and to carry out its corporate purposes, including the maintenance of the capital reserve fund, which remain unappropriated or unpaid to such corporation shall have been appropriated to such corporation and shall have been paid in full provided, however, that no person, including such corporation or the holders of its notes or bonds shall have any lien on such tax and such agreements shall be executory only to the extent of the balances available to the state in such fund. If the balances in such fund are not required by such corporation pursuant to the provisions of this subdivision, on each such last business day of September, December, March and June, the commissioner of taxation and finance shall certify to the comptroller the amount deducted for administering and making distributions in accordance with the provisions of section two hundred eighty-a of the tax law from the stock transfer incentive fund during such quarterly period and he shall pay such amount into the general fund of the state treasury to the credit of the state purposes fund therein. To the extent such moneys are not required by such corporation, as provided in subdivision seven of section ninety-two-d of this chapter, no amount thereof (other than such amount to be deducted for administering, collecting and distributing such tax and such costs in administering and making distributions in accordance with the provisions of section two hundred eighty-a of the tax law from the stock transfer incentive fund) shall be distributed or paid from the stock transfer tax fund other than to such stock transfer incentive fund in the custody of the commissioner of taxation and finance unless and until the aggregate of all payments certified to the comptroller by such commissioner pursuant to the provisions of such incentive fund as necessary to provide payments on account of rebates authorized pursuant to section two hundred eighty-a of the tax law which remain unappropriated or unpaid to such fund shall have been appropriated to such fund and shall have been paid in full provided, however, that no person, including any taxpayer under article twelve of the tax law or any member or dealer referred to in subdivisions two-a and six of section two hundred eighty-a of such law, shall have any lien on this fund or the stock transfer incentive fund.

5. In no fiscal year shall the total amount paid from the fund exceed the total collections during such fiscal year from the stock transfer tax pursuant to the provisions of article twelve of the tax law and as deposited to the credit of the stock transfer tax fund.

6. All payments from the stock transfer tax fund shall be made on the audit and warrant of the comptroller on vouchers approved by the commissioner of taxation and finance.

7. When all the notes and bonds of the municipal assistance corporation for the city of New York have been fully paid and discharged, together with interest thereon and interest on unpaid installments of interest, and the chairman of the corporation makes the final certification required by subdivision seven of section ninety-two-d of this article, the comptroller must notify the commissioner of taxation and finance that all remaining funds held in the stock transfer tax fund must be released to the stock transfer incentive fund. From that time forward, all funds previously deposited in the stock transfer tax fund pursuant to subdivision two of this section will be deposited directly into the stock transfer incentive fund pursuant to all the rules, regulations or instructions that the commissioner may prescribe, after deducting the amount the commissioner determines to be necessary for reasonable costs of the department in administering, collecting and distributing the tax imposed by article twelve of the tax law. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this article, to the extent those moneys are not required by the stock transfer incentive fund for the purpose of administering and making distributions in accordance with the provisions of section two hundred eighty-a of the tax law, as certified by the commissioner of taxation and finance, the balance will be appropriated to the city of New York for the support of local government.
