- If you do not pay the full instalment amount within 7 days of recieving the Final Notice:
- you will lose the right to pay by instalments and will be required to pay the full outstanding balance for the year within 14 days of receiving the Final notice.
- If you do not pay the full outstanding balance for the year within 14 days of receiving the Final Notice:
