For purposes of this section, "final" means the original payment that is not subject to chargeback, dishonor, or reversal. However, when a replicated payment is made of any tax or tax installment paid by a certificate of eligibility pursuant to Section 2514, the amount of the replicated payment shall be paid to the person shown on the certificate.
