tax notice
This is on a standard French land tax notice. It's on a list of reference numbers:
Numéro de contrat de prélèvement: ##########
It's obviously a payment plan, and I'm wondering whether direct debit is implied here, as well as what the proper term would be.

Direct debit installment agreement
Language from the largest tax collection authority in the world. Never thought I’d say this but the IRS’s website is useful sometimes.
Example sentence:
Direct debit installment agreements should be strongly encouraged when a payroll deduction agreement is not practical or appropriate, and especially encouraged if taxpayers defaulted on previous installment agreement(s).
Discussion
Dictionaries frequently (invariably?) cannot deal with context
The term "prélèvement" is not implied here, it is expressed.
It simply means what it says, though not a payment plan in the sense of arrears (unless that is the case), but the direct debit plan for a "mensualisation" drawn up at the start of the year, ahead of the bill, to avoid being faced with a big bill that one cannot pay. I'd keep it simple : "direct debit agreement/reference"?
