            (b)        In an locality in which a video service provider offers video service, the video        service provider shall calculate and pay the video service provider fee to the            municipality with jurisdiction in that locality upon the municipality’s written           request.  If the municipality makes such a request, the video service provider fee    shall be due on a quarterly basis and shall be calculated as a percentage of             gross revenues, as defined herein.  Notwithstanding the date the municipality         makes such a request, no video service provider fee shall be applicable until the   first day of a calendar month that is at least 30 days after written notice of the          levy is submitted by the municipality to a video service provider.  The municipality may not demand the use of any other calculation method.  Any video             service provider fee shall be remitted to the municipality by the video service       provider not later than 45 days after the end of the quarter.

 

            (c)        The percentage to be applied against gross revenues pursuant to subsection (b)    shall be set by the municipality and identified in its written request, but may in no         event exceed 5%.
