penalties of perjury, showing the amount of the gross receipts derived

therefrom and each item of expense incurred, or paid, and each item of

expenditure made or to be made, the name and address of each person to

whom each such item has been paid, or is to be paid, with a detailed

organization furnishing the same shall pay to the clerk of the

municipality as and for an additional license fee a sum based upon the

reported net proceeds, if any, for the occasion covered by such

statement and determined in accordance with such schedule as shall be

established from time to time by the commission to defray the cost to

municipalities of administering the provisions of this article and of

article nineteen-B of the executive law.
