(1) The commissioner is specifically authorized to establish by rule periodic filing and payment dates, other than monthly, in those instances where the commissioner deems it to be in the best interests of the state to do so.
(2) In cases where the commissioner determines, based on the best information available, that a taxpayer either has or may have an average monthly liability of five hundred dollars ($500) or more, the commissioner shall require advance estimated payments of tax in such amounts as the commissioner deems necessary to protect the state's interest, as a condition precedent to the payment and filing of tax returns on any basis other than monthly.
