(a) the day stated in the completion notice is not actually determined as the completion day for the building to which the notice relates; and

then a financial adjustment shall be made in accordance with the following provisions.
(2) Where an amount has been paid on account of the rate by the person chargeable that would not have been payable if the actual completion day was used in assessing the amount claimed in the demand note, that amount shall be repaid or allowed.
(3) Where the amount so claimed in the demand note is less than the amount that would have been claimed as due on account of the rate from the person chargeable if the actual completion day had been used in assessing the amount, then the difference, insofar as it remains due, shall be recoverable from that person as arrears of rate.
