5Account period1

For the purposes of these Regulations, the account period shall be one month or such longer period not exceeding twelve months as is determined by the relevant district council.

2

The account period shall be determined with a view to reducing to a reasonable amount, in comparison with the charges which are expected to fall due, the costs of —

collecting charges.

6Recovery of charges

Where a duty to pay a charge under these Regulations is imposed on more than one person, the district council to which the charge is payable may recover it —

7Calculation, payment and repayment of charges1

Where the relevant district council becomes aware that a charge is due to it under these Regulations it shall —

a

calculate the amount of the charge having regard to the information in its possession; and

b

give notice of the amount so calculated to any person from whom it may be collected.

a

where the correct amount is more than the amount calculated under paragraph (1), it shall recover the higher amount in accordance with that paragraph;

b

where the correct amount is less than the amount calculated under that paragraph and that amount has not been recovered, it shall recover the lesser amount in accordance with that paragraph; and

c

where no charge is payable or the charge payable is less than the amount calculated under that paragraph, and that amount has been recovered, it shall repay the difference.

8Appeals1

A person may appeal against any decision of the relevant district council imposing a charge under these Regulations.

2

The appeal shall be heard by a court of summary jurisdiction and Article 37(2), (2A) and (3) of the Food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 shall apply in relation to such an appeal as it applies in relation to an appeal under Article 37(1)(c) of that Order.

3

Pending the outcome of the appeal the original amount of the charge shall remain payable, but if after the court’s decision the amount of the charge needs to be recalculated, the new amount of the charge shall have effect from the date on which the original charge was made and the sum equal to that new amount shall be payable to the relevant district council.

4

If the court determines that a charge payable under these Regulations is less than the charge that has been paid, the relevant district council shall reimburse the overpayment to the successful appellant.

9Sums remitted from one district council to another

In any case where the exercise of official controls is deferred and the district council responsible for the exercise of the official controls required under Annex III to Regulation 854/2004 (“district council A”) is not the relevant district council to which a charge is required to be paid under these Regulations (“district council B”), district council B shall remit to district council A a sum equal to any amount received by district council B which is referable to official controls exercised by district council A.
