However, to the extent in which services to support or assist in the collection of such tax receivables have been contracted, an agreement may be arranged with the providers of such services as to a commission based on the total amount collected or a fixed amount which may be paid from the moneys deposited in the Fund before any other t may be arranged with the providers of such services as to a commission based on the total amount collected or a fixed amount which may be paid from the moneys deposited in the Fund before any other disbursement is made.(c) If after all payments required have been made to eligible persons who bought or acquired the right to receive payments on account of tax receivables or any interest thereon and to the service provider, if any, any moneys remain deposited in the Fund, said moneys shall be transferred to the General Fund of the Treasury of Puerto Rico.
