(2) Subsection (1) shall not apply -

(a) where a liable person does not agree an alternative method of payment with the Revenue Commissioners, or

(b) where such an alternative method is so agreed but the liable person has not delivered a true and complete return to the Revenue Commissioners, unless and until the liable person delivers a true and complete return to them.

(3) Subsection (1) shall not apply where it appears to the Revenue Commissioners that to act in accordance with that subsection would adversely affect the timely collection of local property tax.
