  estimated  tax  if such return is timely filed, accompanied by a payment
  of not less than ninety percent of the tax as finally determined  to  be
  due  and  payable  for  March,  nineteen  hundred seventy-six. Provided,
  further, that interest at the rate authorized under subdivision nine  of

    (b)   For   the   period  commencing  March  first,  nineteen  hundred
  seventy-seven  and  ending  February  twenty-eighth,  nineteen   hundred
  eighty-three, every person required to file a monthly return pursuant to
  subdivision  (a) of section eleven hundred thirty-six, shall file, on or

  compensating  use  taxes estimated to be payable by such person for such
  month of March calculated for such month in  the  manner  set  forth  in
  subdivisions  (a)  and  (b)  of section eleven hundred thirty-seven; or,
  (ii) in the event such person is otherwise eligible  and  so  elects,  a
  short-form,  part-quarterly  return,  and in either case, pay to the tax
  commission the tax calculated thereunder. Any  adjustment  necessary  to
  properly  report and pay the tax for March shall be reported on and paid
  with the monthly return due in April.

  such person to the  commissioner  for  the  comparable  quarter  of  the
  immediately preceding year calculated for such comparable quarter in the
  manner  set  forth in paragraph one of subdivision (c) of section eleven
  hundred thirty-seven. In either case,  such  person  shall  pay  to  the
  commissioner the tax so calculated. Any adjustment necessary to properly
