Collection of penaltiesE+W

29.—(1) Subject to paragraphs (2) to (4), where a penalty is payable by a person to a billing authority under any of sub-paragraphs (1) to (3) of paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 to the Act [F1or under any of regulations 11 to 13 of the Detection of Fraud Regulations] [F2or any of regulations 13, 14, 16 or 17 of the detection of fraud regulations,] it may be collected, as the authority to which it is payable determines, either—

(a)by treating the penalty for the purposes of regulations 20 and 21 and Schedule 1 as if it were part of the amount that the person is or will be liable to pay in respect of council tax as regards any demand notice issued pursuant to regulation 20(2) after the penalty is imposed, or

(b)by the service by the authority on the person of a notice requiring payment of the penalty on the expiry of such period (being not less than 14 days) after the issue of the notice as is specified in it.

(2) Where the imposition of a penalty is subject to an appeal or arbitration, no amount shall be payable in respect of the penalty while the appeal or arbitration is outstanding.

(3) The imposition of a penalty is to be treated as subject to an appeal or arbitration for the purposes of this regulation and regulation 27(6) until such time as the matter is finally disposed of in accordance with regulations under [F3paragraph 4 of Schedule 11] [F3paragraph A3 of Schedule 11] to the Local Government Finance Act 1988 (valuation tribunals) or is abandoned or fails for non-prosecution; and the circumstances in which an appeal is to be treated as failing for non-prosecution include the expiry of any time prescribed under paragraph 8(2)(a) of that Schedule in consequence of which any such appeal would be required to be dismissed by a valuation tribunal.

(4) A demand notice making provision for the recovery of a penalty which is subject to appeal or arbitration may not be issued under paragraph (1)(a) during the period that the appeal or arbitration concerned is outstanding; and where a penalty becomes subject to appeal or arbitration after the issue of a demand notice which makes such provision, such proportion of the instalments due under it as are attributable to the penalty shall not fall due until the appeal or arbitration is finally disposed of, abandoned or fails for non-prosecution.

(5) Where an amount has been paid by a person in respect of a penalty which is quashed under paragraph 1(6) of Schedule 3 to the Act [F4, regulation 12(4) or regulation 13(6) of the Detection of Fraud Regulations,] [F5, regulations 16(4) or 17(6) of the detection of fraud regulations] or pursuant to the order of a valuation tribunal or the High Court(1), the billing authority which imposed the penalty may allow the amount to him by way of deduction against any other sum which has become due from him under this Part (whether in respect of another penalty or otherwise); and any balance shall be repaid to him.

(1)

See paragraphs 10A and 11(2)(d) of Schedule 11 to the Local Government Finance Act 1988, as inserted and substituted respectively by the Local Government Finance Act 1992, Schedule 13, paragraph 88(9) and (11).
