(2)   Expense provisions for premium taxes, if  any,  shall   reflect  the applicable premium tax rate.

(3)    Expense provisions for each other category of  expenses  shall   be reasonably allocated among classifications based on losses, coverages, exposures, or other basis that equitably measures the variations, if any, in the manner in which such expenses are   anticipated to be incurred with respect to the classifications. Expense allocation methods may include percentage-of-premium, uniform-per-coverage, uniform-per-exposure, or other basis, as appropriate and justified.
