The return of a vendor of tangible personal property or services shall show his receipts from sales and also the aggregate value of tangible personal property and services sold by him, the use of which is subject to a tax imposed under the authority of this article and the amount of taxes required to be collected with respect to such sales and use. The return of a recipient of amusement charges shall show all such charges and the amount of tax thereon, and the return of an operator required to collect tax on rents shall show all rents received or charged and the amount of tax thereon. Every person required to file a part-quarterly return pursuant to subdivision (a) of section eleven hundred thirty-six shall file a return for the same periods for the taxes imposed pursuant to this article.

Rather, such returns shall only show the aggregate amount of all such local taxes calculated in the manner provided for in paragraph (i) or (ii) of subdivision (a) of section eleven hundred thirty-six except that in the case of a short-form, part-quarterly return, where a county, city or school district did not impose a tax in the comparable quarter of the immediately preceding year, the tax for that locality shall be calculated on such basis as the tax commission shall by regulation prescribe.(b)
The returns required by this section to be filed quarterly shall be filed for quarterly periods ending on the last day of February, May, August and November of each year, and each return shall be filed within twenty days after the end of the quarterly period covered thereby.

The form of returns shall be prescribed by the tax commission and shall contain such information as it may deem necessary for the proper administration of this article. The commission may require amended returns to be filed within twenty days after notice and to contain the information specified in the notice.(e)
