(i) applies for authority to do business in New York State (section 1304[a][8] or section 1530[a][8] of the Business Corporation Law), provided such corporation does not make the statement regarding its lack of activity in this State provided for by section 1304(a)(8) or section 1530(a)(8) of the Business Corporation Law;
(ii) seeks to surrender its authority to do business in New York State (section 1310[b] of the Business Corporation Law); or

(1) For the corporate processes described in subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of this section and subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of this section and for all like corporate processes provided for by any other statute, the corporate franchise tax report showing the computation of corporate franchise tax for the taxable year (see section 1-2.4 of this Title - Definition of taxable year) which includes the proposed date of the corporate process and for the next preceding taxable year may be made, to the extent necessary, on an estimated basis and must have annexed thereto an affidavit of an officer containing a computation of such tax of the taxpayer up to the nearest practicable date and explanation of the manner of computation of such tax on an estimated basis for the period between such date and the proposed date of the corporate process. At the time of filing a corporate franchise tax report done on an estimated basis, the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance may require a deposit of money or may prescribe some other method of securing the payment of corporate franchise tax as finally computed, in order to protect the interests of New York State.

(1) its certificate of dissolution is duly filed in the office of the Secretary of State within 90 days after the commencement of such tax year or period, and
