However, where the fiscal year of the business, profession and other activity differs form the calendar year, the tax shall be applied to that part of the net profits for the fiscal year as shall be earned on and after January 1, 2004, to the close of the taxpayer's fiscal year. Thereafter, the taxpayer shall report on its fiscal year basis.
Where the fiscal year of a business, profession or other activity is other than a calendar year, in computing initial tax the profits of such taxpayer shall be determined by dividing the annual profits by twelve and multiplying the quotient by the number of months within the period commencing January 1, 2004, and ending at the conclusion of such fiscal year.
