The Present Method: At least oneâ€"third of the tax to be paid by April 30th, the balance, with inâ€" terest at 5 % from April 30th, to be paid by August 31st. On any balance unpaid after August 3lst, the interest rate will be 8 %. 2. The Proposed Method: In 8 monthly instalments without in- terest. To take advantage of this new way of paying, the first instalâ€" ment must be paid on or before January 3lst. You must pay at least one-third of the estimated tax in four equal monthly instal- ments, in January, February, March and April, i.e. 1-12 of the estimated tax in each of the said 4 months. The remaining two- thirds must be paid in four equal monthly instalments in May, June, July and August, i.e. 1â€"6th of the estimated tax in each of the said 4 months.
