55 Recovery of deferred amounts (1) This section applies if the commissioner revokes a deferral (2) The amount to which a person is indebted to the Territory because of the determination is payable by the person to the Territory on the day immediately after the day the determination is revoked. Note An amount owing under a law may be recovered as a debt in a court of competent jurisdiction or the ACAT (see Legislation Act, s 177). (3) However, if the commissioner declares that the amount may be paid in stated instalments, the amount of each instalment is payable to the Territory on the day stated in the declaration. Note A declaration may be included in the revocation (see Legislation Act, s 49 (Single instrument may exercise several powers or satisfy several requirements)). (4) Despite subsection (3), if the person to whom the determination relates stops being an owner of the parcel of land to which the determination relates (other than because of the person’s death) any balance of an amount to be paid in instalments is payable on the day immediately after the day the person stops being an owner.
