 (2) Where:
 (a) a certificate is given by the Commissioner, a Second Commissioner or a Deputy Commissioner under subsection (1) stating that an amount of income tax moneys is or was, or became, due and payable by a company or by a trustee; and

the certificate is of no effect, or ceases to have effect, as the case requires, in so far as it would, apart from this subsection, be conclusive evidence that the income tax moneys or the part of the income tax moneys, as the case may be, referred to in paragraph (b) were or was, or became, due and payable by the company or trustee on the date specified in the certificate.
