For instruments executed to pay amount annually or periodically, stamp duty is to be paid as follows depending on the circumstances. When the sum payable during the period is previously ascertained stamp duty is to be paid on the whole of the amount. When the sum payable is in perpetuity or for an indefinite time not terminable with any life, stamp duty shall be on the sum payable during the period of 20 years calculated from the date on which the first payment becomes due. Where the sum is payable for an indefinite time terminable with any life, the stamp duty shall be paid on the sum payable during the period of 12 years calculated from the date on which the first payment becomes due.
