§ 1251. Returns. (a) Every person required to collect any of the taxes imposed  under  the  authority  of  section  twelve  hundred ten, twelve hundred eleven, twelve hundred twelve or twelve hundred  twelve-A  shall file  a  return as required by subdivision (a) of section eleven hundred thirty-six with the tax commission, except that return for the quarterly period ending August thirty-first,  nineteen  hundred  sixty-five  shall only  cover the month of August, nineteen hundred sixty-five. 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. Provided, however, where a part-quarterly return described in paragraph (i) or (ii) of subdivision (a) of  section  eleven  hundred thirty-six  is  filed  for  purposes  of complying with this section and section eleven hundred thirty-six or subdivision (a) or (b)  of  section eleven  hundred thirty-seven-A, on such returns separate amounts due for the taxes imposed by each county, city or school district,  pursuant  to the  authority  of  section  twelve  hundred ten, twelve hundred eleven, twelve hundred twelve or twelve hundred twelve-A,  need  not  be  shown. 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 returns  required by this section to be filed monthly shall be filed for monthly periods ending on the last day of each  month  and  each  return shall be filed within twenty days after the end of each prior month.  (c)  The  tax  commission  may  permit  or  require returns to be made covering other periods and upon such dates as it may specify. If the tax commission deems it necessary in order to  insure  the  payment  of  the taxes  imposed  by  this  article, it may require returns to be made for shorter  periods  than  those  prescribed  pursuant  to  the   foregoing subdivisions of this section, and upon such dates as it may specify.  (d)  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.
