Interest shall be calculated in subsequent months on the outstanding balance of the base amount until paid. A fraction of a month shall be counted as an entire month.
(2) If a certificate of delinquency is paid by a third-party purchaser, the amount paid by the third-party purchaser shall become the base amount upon which simple interest is initially calculated.
