(a)for the remainder of that year, to the frequency specified in column (4) or, as the case may be, column (7) of that Schedule multiplied by the number of whole months in that period and divided by 12; and, where the result is not a whole number, rounded up to the nearest whole number;

(b)for subsequent years, to the frequency so specified.
