(b) In the case of an installment obligation to which section 453(l)(2)(B) of the Code applies, the tax imposed by chapter 62 or 63 for a tax year in which payment on that obligation is received shall be increased by an amount of interest determined as follows: the amount of tax for that taxable year attributable to the payments on installment obligations to which this subsection applies shall be multiplied by the underpayment rate determined under subsection (a) of section 32 in effect at the time of sale, which rate shall be applied for the period beginning on the date of sale and ending on the date that payment is received.

(c) The commissioner may issue rules or regulations analogous to those under sections 453 and 453A of the Code, adjusted to reflect differences in, or otherwise to take into account, the tax laws of the commonwealth.
