(1) Unless an agreement under sub-paragraph (3) in relation to the relevant period has been reached before the demand notice is issued, a notice to which paragraph 6(1) applies shall require the estimate of the amount payable on expiry of such period (being not less than 14 days) after the day of issue of the notice as is specified in it.
(2) If an agreement under sub-paragraph (3) in relation to the relevant period has been reached before the demand notice is issued, a notice to which paragraph 6(1) applies shall require the estimate of the amount payable to be paid in accordance with that agreement.
(3) A relevant billing authority and a person who is liable for the BID levy may agree that the estimate of the amount payable which is required to be paid under a notice to which paragraph 6(1) applies should be paid in such manner as is provided by the agreement.
(4) Notwithstanding anything in the preceding provisions of this paragraph, such an agreement may be entered into either before or after the demand notice concerned is issued, and may make provision for the cessation or adjustment of payments, and for the making of fresh estimates, in the event of the estimate mentioned in paragraph 6(1) turning out to be wrong; and if it is entered into after the demand notice has been issued, it may make provision dealing with the treatment for the purposes of the agreement of any sums paid before it was entered into.
(5) A notice to which paragraph 6(3) or (5) applies shall require payment of the amount payable on the expiry of such period (being not less than 14 days) after the day of issue of the notice as is specified in it.
(6) No payment in respect of the amount payable by a person who is liable for the BID levy in relation to a hereditament for any chargeable period need be made unless a notice served under this Schedule requires it.
