This usually comes in the form of holding on to business earnings instead of paying out dividends to avoid income taxes at the shareholder level.
Please note that New York City does not have an S corporation election and does not recognize a New York State S corporation election. In general, federal subchapter S corporations and qualified subchapter S subsidiaries are subject to the GCT.
