The provisions of article twenty-seven of the tax law shall apply to the provisions of this section in the same manner and with the same force and effect as if the language of such article had been incorporated in full into this section and had expressly referred to the fee under this section, except to the extent that any provision of such article is either inconsistent with a provision of this section or is not relevant to this section. 6. (a) Until December thirty-first, two thousand twenty-two, any additional waste tire management and recycling costs of the tire service in excess of the amount authorized to be retained pursuant to paragraph (b) of subdivision two of this section may be included in the published selling price of the new tire, or charged as a separate per-tire charge on each new tire sold. When such costs are charged as a separate per-tire charge: (i) such charge shall be stated as an invoice item separate and distinct from the selling price of the tire; (ii) the invoice shall state that the charge is imposed at the sole discretion of the tire service; and (iii) the amount of such charge shall reflect the actual cost to the tire service for the management and recycling of waste tires accepted by the tire service pursuant to section 27-1905 of this title, provided however, that in no event shall such charge exceed two dollars and fifty cents on each new tire sold.

(b) Every tire service shall maintain accurate records of the actual costs of waste tire management and recycling incurred by such tire service, and accurate accounts of any charges or costs included in or on the sale of new tires for the purpose of waste tire management and recycling. Any tire service imposing a charge or costs for its waste tire management and recycling shall submit an annual statement of such charges or costs to the comptroller of the state of New York by the end of each calendar year. The comptroller is hereby authorized and empowered from time to time to examine the accounts and records of any tire service that imposes any costs or charges for the costs of the tire service for waste tire management and recycling as authorized by this subdivision.
