chapter by reason of a liquidation, dissolution, merger or consolidation
with any other corporation, or any other cause, shall, on the date of
such cessation or at such other time as the commissioner may require,
make a written report to the commissioner of the amount of its gross

nature paid during the year ended on the preceding December
thirty-first. As to tax payers subject to such tax upon dividends under
said section one hundred eighty-four of this chapter, the year ended on
December thirty-first, nineteen hundred seventy-six shall be deemed, for
the purposes of this subdivision, to have commenced on July first,

year, make a written report to the tax commission and to the
superintendent of financial services covering the quarter year ending on
the last day of the third month preceding that in which the report is
required to be filed, in such form and containing such information as
the tax commission may deem necessary for the determination of the tax
due for each such quarter year. There shall also be filed with the tax
commission and with the superintendent of financial services, on or
before March fifteenth of each year, a statement which will reconcile
the net taxable premiums shown in the quarterly reports, made pursuant
to this section, for the preceding calendar year, with the total gross

such year pursuant to section three hundred seven of the insurance law.

with the tax commission and with the superintendent of financial
services, covering the preceding calendar year, in such form and
containing such information as the tax commission may deem necessary for
the determination of the tax imposed by said subdivisions, and such
calendar year shall be deemed the taxable year within the meaning of
this section and of said subdivisions, provided, however that insurance
corporations liable to pay tax under subdivision eight of section one
hundred eighty-seven shall be required to make the reports required
herein only on the fifteenth day of March in the years nineteen hundred
sixty-five through and including nineteen hundred seventy-six.
