Regulation 10 Withdrawal of accreditation of qualification in cases of non-payment of levy
If, after the expiry of the time allowed for the payment of the levy, an awarding body has not paid the levy in full, QCA may serve a notice under this regulation (a “notice of default”) on the awarding body.
The notice of default shall set out the amount of levy unpaid at the date of the notice and shall require payment of the sum within 7 days of the notice.
The notice of default shall also state that, without prejudice to the taking by QCA of recovery action, failure by the awarding body to make the payment notified within the time set by the notice may result in the withdrawal by QCA of accreditation for all or some of the National Vocational Qualifications awarded by the awarding body.
If, upon the expiry of the time set by the notice of default, the levy remains unpaid, QCA may, subject to any transitional provisions determined by QCA and specified in the notice of default, withdraw its accreditation of—
all National Vocational Qualifications awarded by the awarding body or
such National Vocational Qualifications awarded by the awarding body as may be specified in the notice,
after a date or dates specified in the notice of default; and different dates may be specified in relation to the withdrawal of accreditation of different qualifications.
