3.Publication of notice of charge
Notice of the determination and amount of a charge imposed for a year under section 14 of the Act is to be published, in a newspaper circulating in the State, at least 14 days before the charge is due for payment under regulation 4(2).
(1)A beekeeper is liable to pay the charge for each year for which the service to which the charge relates is to be provided under a determination under section 14 of the Act.
(3)If the beekeeper is a company, the company and each director of the company are jointly and severally liable to pay the charge.
(1)The charge is payable to the Director General of the Department of Agriculture.
(2)The Director General must forward to the Commission an amount equal to the amount of charge paid minus an amount by way of the cost of administering the collection of the charge.
If a beekeeper does not pay an amount of charge for which the beekeeper is liable, the unpaid amount is a debt due to the State and is recoverable from the beekeeper in a court of competent jurisdiction.
