      article  with respect to the products included in each component of such

      (rounded to the nearest hundredth cent per quantity). Provided, further,
      for  taxable  months commencing on or after June first, nineteen hundred
      ninety-six up to and  including  the  month  of  May,  nineteen  hundred

      calendar  quarter  during which the rate of the tax surcharge changes in
      accordance with the first three sentences of this subdivision  shall  be
      the  average  of  the  rates otherwise applicable pursuant to such first
      three sentences for each month of such calendar quarter. In the case  of
      a  taxpayer who files returns and pays taxes under article twenty-one or
      article twenty-one-A of this chapter, as the case may be, on  an  annual
      or  other  basis  other  than  monthly  or  quarterly,  for  purposes of
      imposition of the tax surcharge with  respect  to  the  tax  imposed  by
      section three hundred one-h of this article, the rate of surcharge for a
      return  period  which  would  include a change in such rate but for this
      sentence shall be, in the case of taxpayers filing on an  annual  basis,
    
      equal to the sum of the respective rates otherwise applicable under this
      subdivision  in each month of the return period divided by the number of
      months in the return period, and, in the case of a  taxpayer  filing  on
      other than a monthly, quarterly or annual basis, equal to the sum of the
      respective  rates otherwise applicable under this subdivision on each of
      the days of the return period divided by  the  number  of  days  in  the
      return period.
        (b)   Credit,   refund   or   reimbursement.  (1)  Utility  credit  or
      reimbursement. In addition to the credit  allowed  pursuant  to  section
      three  hundred one-d and section three hundred one-i of this article, an
      electric corporation shall be allowed a credit against the tax surcharge
      imposed by this section,  except  as  such  surcharge  is  imposed  with
      respect  to  the  tax  imposed  by  section  three hundred one-j of this
      article.  The credit shall be allowed with respect to  the  quantity  of
      product  for  which  credit is allowed pursuant to section three hundred
      one-d or three hundred one-i of this article and which has been included
      in the measure of the surcharge imposed by this section on such electric
      corporation. The amount of credit  shall  be  equal  to  the  amount  of
      surcharge  imposed  by  this  section with respect to the tax imposed by
      sections three hundred one-a and three hundred  one-i  of  this  article
      with  respect  to such eligible quantity of product. The credit shall be
      applied against liability for  surcharge  under  this  section  for  the
      period  during which the credit arose. Any excess may then be applied to
      liability for the surcharge under this section for  subsequent  periods.
      In  addition  to  the  reimbursement  allowed pursuant to sections three
      hundred one-d and three hundred  one-i  of  this  article,  an  electric
      corporation  shall  be  allowed  a  reimbursement  with  respect  to the
      quantity of product for which reimbursement is allowed pursuant to  such
      section  three  hundred one-d or three hundred one-i of this article and
      which has been included in the measure of the surcharge imposed by  this
      section  with  respect  to  such  sections three hundred one-a and three
      hundred one-i. The amount of the reimbursement shall  be  equal  to  the
      amount  of  the  surcharge imposed by this section and passed through to
      such electric corporation with respect  to  such  eligible  quantity  of
      product.  Such  reimbursement  may  be  applied  for not more often than
      monthly. An electric corporation entitled to  reimbursement  under  this
      section,  in  lieu  of such reimbursement, may take credit therefor on a
      return filed under this article.
        (2) Manufacturing credit or  reimbursement.  On  and  after  September
      first,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-one,  there  shall be allowed a credit
      against or a reimbursement of  the  tax  surcharge  imposed  under  this
      section relative to the tax imposed under section three hundred one-j of
      this  article  with  respect  to  the  quantity  of  diesel  motor  fuel
      (unenhanced) and residual petroleum product which is  purchased  on  and
      after  such date and which qualifies for the manufacturing reimbursement
      (credit) under subdivision (b) of section three hundred  one-j  of  this
      article. The amount of the credit or reimbursement shall be equal to the
      tax  surcharge imposed with respect to such section three hundred one-j.
      Such reimbursement may be applied for not more often than semi-annually.
        (3) Partial credit, refund or reimbursement with respect  to  aviation
      gasoline.    (i)  A  partial  credit or refund of the tax surcharge paid
      under this section relative to the tax imposed with respect to  aviation
      gasoline  under  sections three hundred one-e and three hundred one-j of
      this article shall be available with respect to aviation gasoline  which
      qualifies  for  the  partial  credit  or  refund  under paragraph two of
      subdivision (b) of section three hundred one-e of  this  article.    The
      amount  of  the  credit  or  refund  shall be equal to the tax surcharge
      imposed (A) with respect to the partial credit or refund  allowed  under
    
      paragraph  two of subdivision (b) of section three hundred one-e of this
      article and (B) with respect to  the  credit  or  refund  allowed  under
      paragraph  two of subdivision (b) of section three hundred one-j of this
      article.
        (ii)  A  partial  reimbursement  of  the tax surcharge paid under this
      section relative to the tax imposed with respect  to  aviation  gasoline
      under  sections  three  hundred  one-e  and  three hundred one-j of this
      article shall be available  with  respect  to  aviation  gasoline  which
      qualifies  for  the  partial  reimbursement  under  paragraph  three  of
      subdivision (d) of section three hundred one-e of this article  and  for
      which  no  partial  credit  or  refund  under  subparagraph  (i) of this
      paragraph was provided.  The amount of the reimbursement shall be  equal
      to   the   tax  surcharge  imposed  (A)  with  respect  to  the  partial
      reimbursement allowed  under  paragraph  three  of  subdivision  (d)  of
      section  three hundred one-e of this article and (B) with respect to the
      reimbursement allowed  under  subparagraph  (ii)  of  paragraph  two  of
      subdivision (b) of section three hundred one-j of this article.
        (4)   The commissioner shall require such documentary proof to qualify
      for any credit, refund or  reimbursement  of  tax  provided  under  this
      subdivision as the commissioner deems appropriate.
        (c)  Deposit and disposition of revenue. Any provision of this article
      to the contrary notwithstanding, the full amount of any  tax  surcharge,
      as  well  as  interest  and  penalties  relating  thereto,  collected or
      received by the commissioner of taxation and finance under this  section
      shall be deposited and disposed of pursuant to the provisions of section
