§  1332. Administration, collection and review. (a) General. Except as
otherwise provided in  this  article,  any  city  income  tax  surcharge
imposed  pursuant to the authority of this article shall be administered
and collected by the commissioner in the same manner as the tax  imposed
by  article  twenty-two of this chapter is administered and collected by
the commissioner. All of the provisions of article  twenty-two  of  this
chapter  relating to or applicable to payment of estimated tax, returns,
payment of tax, claim of  right  adjustment,  withholding  of  tax  from
wages, employer's statements and returns, employer's liability for taxes
required  to  be withheld and all other provisions of article twenty-two
of this  chapter  relating  to  or  applicable  to  the  administration,
collection,  liability  for  and  review  of  the tax imposed by article
twenty-two, including sections six hundred fifty-two through six hundred
fifty-four,  sections  six  hundred  fifty-seven  through  six   hundred
fifty-nine,  sections  six  hundred sixty-one and six hundred sixty-two,
sections six hundred seventy-one and six hundred  seventy-two,  sections
six  hundred seventy-four through six hundred seventy-eight and sections
six hundred eighty-one through six hundred ninety-seven of this chapter,
inclusive, shall apply to a city income tax surcharge  imposed  pursuant
to  the  authority  of this article with the same force and effect as if
those provisions had been incorporated in full into  this  article,  and
had expressly referred to the city income tax surcharge imposed pursuant
to  the  authority  of  this  article,  except where inconsistent with a
provision of this article. Whenever there is joint collection  of  state
personal income tax, city personal income tax, city income tax surcharge
or  city  nonresident  earnings  taxes,  it  shall  be  deemed that such
collection shall represent proportionately the applicable state personal
income tax, city personal income tax, city income tax surcharge or  city
nonresident  earnings  taxes in determining the amount to be remitted to
the city.

(b) Payment to designated depositories. The state tax commission, in its discretion, may require or permit any or all persons liable for any city income tax surcharge imposed pursuant to the authority of this article to make payments on account of estimated city income tax surcharge and payment of any city income tax surcharge, penalty or interest of such banks, banking houses or trust companies designated by the state tax commission and to file returns with such banks, banking houses or trust companies, as agent of the state tax commission, in lieu of paying a city income tax surcharge imposed pursuant to the authority of this article directly to the state tax commission. However, the state tax commission shall designate only such banks, banking houses or trust companies which are designated by the comptroller as depositories of the state.

(c) Combined filings. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this article, any law imposing a city income tax surcharge pursuant to the authority of this article shall provide that the state tax commission may require:

(1) the filing of any or all of the following:

(A) a combined return which, in addition to the return provided for in section thirteen hundred twenty-six, may also include any of the returns required to be filed by a resident individual of New York state pursuant to the provisions of section six hundred fifty-one of this chapter and which may be required to be filed by such individual pursuant to any local law enacted pursuant to the authority of article thirty or thirty-B of this chapter or article two-E of the general city law, and

(B) a combined employer's return which, in addition to the employer's return provided for by any law enacted pursuant to the authority of this article, may also include any of the employer's returns required to be filed by the same employer pursuant to the provisions of section six hundred seventy-four of this chapter and required to be filed by such employer pursuant to any local law enacted under the authority of article thirty or thirty-B of this chapter or article two-E of the general city law, and

(2) where a combined return or employer's return is required, and with respect to the payment of estimated tax, the state tax commission may also require the payment to it of a single amount which shall equal the total of the amounts (total taxes less any credits or refunds) which would have been required to be paid with the returns or employer's returns or in payment of estimated tax pursuant to the provisions of article twenty-two of this chapter, and the provisions of local laws enacted under the authority of this article or article thirty or thirty-B of this chapter or article two-E of the general city law.

(d) Liability for failure to pay estimated tax. For the tax year in which such local law is enacted, no addition to the tax shall be imposed, pursuant to subsection (c) of section six hundred eighty-five of this chapter, through the operation of the provisions of this section for the portion of the underpayment of estimated tax as the result of a local law enacted pursuant to paragraph (iii) of subsection (c) of section thirteen hundred twenty-one of this article.
