under Article 21 may by notice to the Department served in accordance with
paragraph 1 of Schedule 9 elect to pay rates in respect of that hereditament
by instalments in accordance with that Schedule; and, as from the date which
under the said paragraph 1 is the effective date of that notice until, in
