(b) Payment of tax. At the time of filing a return, as required by this article, each carrier shall pay the tax imposed by this article for the period covered by such return. Such tax shall be due and payable at the time of filing the return or, if a return is not filed when due, on the last day on which the return is required to be filed.

(c) Extensions. The commissioner may grant a reasonable extension of time for filing returns or paying the tax whenever good cause exists and may waive the filing of returns if a carrier is not subject to the tax imposed by this article for the period covered by the return.

(d) Leases. In those instances where the carrier is not the owner of the qualified motor vehicle, the owner may be licensed and file returns and maintain records pursuant to this article as prescribed by the commissioner or, if the commissioner enters into a cooperative agreement under section five hundred twenty-eight of this article, as prescribed in such agreement. In any event, where the carrier is not the owner of a qualified motor vehicle, the owner shall be jointly and severally liable with the carrier for payment of tax under this article with respect to such qualified motor vehicle.
