An amended declaration must be filed on or before January 31 of the following year, or, in the case of a taxpayer on a fiscal year basis, on or before the date fixed by regulation of the Superintendent if it appears that the original declaration made for such taxable year underestimated the taxpayer’s income by ten percent or more.

(d) Such declaration of net estimated tax to be paid the City shall be accompanied by a payment of at least one-fourth of the estimated annual tax, less credit, and at least a similar amount shall be paid on or before the last day of the seventh and tenth months after the beginning of the taxable year and the first month of the next tax year.
(e) On or before the fifteenth of the fourth month of the calendar or fiscal year following that for which such declaration or amended declaration was filed, an annual return shall be filed and any balance which may be due the City shall be paid therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 880.08.
