(b) furnish to the Commissioner a written statement, in the approved form, showing:

(b) the estimated tax is:


(i) an amount equal to the amount of tax so estimated by the Commissioner; or

(ii) the amount that would be the notional tax amount of the employer in respect of the year of tax if the employer had not furnished a statement under subsection (1);
