Provided, however, the commissioner may, if he deems it necessary in order to insure the payment of the taxes imposed by this article, require returns to be made at such times and covering such periods as he may deem necessary, and, by regulation, may permit the filing of returns on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis, or may waive the filing of returns by a distributor for such time and upon such terms as he may deem proper if satisfied that no tax imposed by this article is or will be payable by him during the time for which returns are waived. Such returns shall contain such further information as the commissioner may require.
