The amount of the prepayment shall constitute a credit against the amount of the taxes due and payable for the monthly period for which the prepayment was made and for each succeeding monthly prepayment or period until the credit is fully utilized.
The legislature occasionally skips outline levels.
For example:
(3) A person may apply [...]
(4)(a) A person petitioning for relief [...]
In this example, (3), (4),
and (4)(a) are all outline levels, but
(4) was
omitted by its authors. It's only implied. This presents an
interesting challenge when laying out the text. We've
decided to display a blank section with this note, in order
to aide readability.
