(2) Provided, however, "commercial gallonage," as such term is defined in subdivision (k) of section three hundred of this  article,  shall  be exempt from the measure of the tax imposed under this section.  (3)  Provided,  further, "railroad diesel," as such term is defined in subdivision (l) of section three  hundred  of  this  article,  shall  be exempt from the measure of the tax imposed under this section.  (4)  Provided,  further,  a  separate per gallon rate shall apply with respect to highway diesel motor fuel. Such rate shall be  determined  by taking  the  adjusted rate per gallon of tax imposed under paragraph one of this subdivision as adjusted in accordance  with  paragraph  five  of this subdivision and subtracting therefrom one and three-quarters cents. Commencing   January  first,  two  thousand  twelve,  and  each  January thereafter, the per gallon rate applicable to highway diesel motor  fuel shall  be  the  adjusted rate under paragraph one of this subdivision as adjusted in accordance with paragraph five  of  this  subdivision  which commences on such date minus one and three-quarters cents. The resulting rate under this paragraph shall be expressed in hundredths of a cent.  (5)  Except  as  herein  provided,  the tax imposed under this section shall be calculated in the same respective manner as the  taxes  imposed by  section  three hundred one-a and section three hundred one-e of this article. Except for section three hundred one-d and except as  otherwise provided  in this section, all the provisions of this article applicable to the taxes imposed by sections three hundred one-a and  three  hundred one-e  of this article, shall apply with respect to the supplemental tax imposed by this section to the same extent as if  it  were  respectively imposed by such sections.  (b) Credit, refund or reimbursement with respect to aviation gasoline. (i)  A  credit  or refund of the tax paid under this section relative to the tax imposed on aviation gasoline under section three  hundred  one-e 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.  (ii)  A  reimbursement  of the tax paid under this section relative to the tax imposed on aviation gasoline under section three  hundred  one-e 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 credit or refund under subparagraph (i) of this  paragraph  was provided.  (iii) The commissioner shall require such documentary proof to qualify for  any  credit,  refund  or  reimbursement  of  tax  provided  by this paragraph as the commissioner deems appropriate.  (c) Rate adjustment.  The  rate  of  the  supplemental  tax  shall  be adjusted  at  the  same time as the rates of the components of the taxes imposed by sections three hundred one-a and three hundred one-e of  this  article,  and  the  method  of  making  adjustments  to  the rate of the supplemental tax shall be the same as the method used for such rates.
