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).

4.Liability to pay charge

(1)A beekeeper producer 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.

(2)The charge for a year is due for payment on 30 June of that year.

[Regulation 4 amended: Gazette 5 Feb 2013 p. 825; SL 2020/49 r. 5.]

5.Payment of charge
