The commissioner shall adopt rules pursuant to RSA 541-A relative to the prescribed form for filing returns under this section and for filing joint returns under RSA 77:5-a. Returns required by this chapter shall be made under the penalty of perjury.
II. At the same time the return is filed, as required by paragraph I of this section, every taxpayer as defined in RSA 77:3 shall, in addition, file a declaration of its estimated tax for its subsequent taxable period; provided, however, that if the estimated tax is less than $500, a declaration need not be filed; and provided further that a declaration shall be filed at the end of any quarter thereafter in which the annualized estimated tax exceeds $500.
III.
(a) One quarter of the taxpayer's estimated tax for the subsequent taxable period is due and payable on the fifteenth day of the fourth month of the subsequent taxable year; 1/4 is due and payable on the fifteenth day of the sixth month of the subsequent taxable year; 1/4 is due and payable on the fifteenth day of the ninth month of the subsequent taxable year; and 1/4 is due and payable on the fifteenth day of the twelfth month of the subsequent taxable year, unless the taxpayer is a calendar year taxpayer in which case the final 1/4 is due and payable on the fifteenth day of the January next following the tax year.
(b) If the return required by RSA 77:18, I shows an additional amount to be due, such additional amount is due and payable on the original statutory due date.
