The tax administrator of the municipal corporation may furnish copies of returns filed under this chapter to the internal revenue service and to the tax commissioner.

(B) This section does not prohibit the disclosure of data that aggregates information pertaining to all taxpayers or to a specific class of taxpayers so long as no information pertaining to any specific taxpayer is reasonably likely to be identified from the aggregated data disclosed.
