  • (a) The taxes, interest,
      and penalties imposed by this article and collected or received  by  the
      commissioner  shall  be  deposited  daily  with  such responsible banks,
      banking  houses  or  trust  companies,  as  may  be  designated  by  the
      comptroller,  to  the  credit  of  the  comptroller  in  trust  for  the
      metropolitan transportation authority. An account may be established  in
      one  or  more  of such depositories. Such deposits will be kept separate
      and apart from all other money in the possession of the comptroller. The
      comptroller shall require adequate security from all such  depositories.
      Of  the  total  revenue  collected  or  received under this article, the
      comptroller shall retain such amount as the commissioner  may  determine
      to  be  necessary  for  refunds  under this article. The commissioner is
      authorized and directed to deduct from the  amounts  it  receives  under
      this  article,  before deposit into the trust accounts designated by the
      comptroller, a reasonable amount  necessary  to  effectuate  refunds  of
      appropriations  of  the  department  to reimburse the department for the
      costs incurred to administer, collect and distribute the  taxes  imposed
      by this article.
        (b)  On  or before the twelfth and twenty-sixth day of each succeeding
      month, after reserving such amount for such refunds and  deducting  such
      amounts  for  such  costs,  as  provided  for  in subsection (a) of this
      section, the commissioner shall certify to the comptroller the amount of
      all revenues so received during the prior  month  as  a  result  of  the
      taxes,  interest  and  penalties  so  imposed. The amount of revenues so
      certified shall be paid over by the fifteenth and the final business day
      of each succeeding month from such account into the mobility  tax  trust
      account   of   the   metropolitan   transportation  authority  financial
      assistance fund established pursuant to  section  ninety-two-ff  of  the
      state  finance  law,  for  payment,  pursuant  to  appropriations by the
      legislature to the metropolitan transportation  authority  finance  fund
      established  pursuant  to section twelve hundred seventy-h of the public
      authorities law.
