Every estimate made under this section shall be subject to review by the Department after the close of the year for which the estimate is made and, if there is any variance between the estimate and the actual direct gross premium income, the Department shall issue a refund or provide notice of the assessment of additional license tax depending on whether such estimate was in excess of or less than the actual direct gross premium income of such company for such year.
