36A Alteration of due dates for recurring payments

(1) Where, under this Act or the regulations thereunder or under any instrument under this Act, any sums are made payable at recurring times, the Minister may, if of the opinion that it is expedient for administrative purposes to do so, in writing direct that those sums or any of them, whether or not they have, or any of them has, then become due and payable, shall be payable at such altered times recurring at the same intervals as the Minister may specify in the direction.

(2) The Minister may determine that, by reason of the alteration of the recurring times, a proportionate part of any such sum shall be payable at such time as the Minister may determine and may, in the direction, direct that that proportionate part shall be due and payable at that time.

(3) The Minister may extend the time for payment of any such proportionate part.

(4) A direction under this section:

(a) may be given in respect of all holdings, any class of holdings specified in the direction or any particular holding so specified,

(b) may be given from time to time as the Minister thinks fit, and

(c) shall, upon notice in writing of the direction being given in accordance with subsection (5), have effect according to its tenor notwithstanding the provisions of this Act, the regulations thereunder or the instrument under which the sums are made payable or any previous direction under this section.

(5) Notice of a direction under this section may be given by sending it by post to the person by whom the sum next payable under the direction would, if that sum were due and payable at the time the notice is so sent, be payable and by addressing it to that person’s last known address.
