Regulation 6 Calculation of levy—supplementary
If—
the levy for any accounting period or for any accounting periods comprising an audit period (either such period being referred to in this regulation a “relevant period”) has been calculated in accordance with regulation 5(2) or (3) and,
after such a calculation has been made a relevant event occurs,
the amount of the levy for the first accounting period to follow the occurrence of the relevant event (“the first subsequent accounting period”) shall (subject to paragraph (2)) be
where—
-
A is the amount of the levy for the first subsequent accounting period calculated under regulation 5(1) or, as appropriate, 5(2),
-
B is the amount of the levy for the relevant period which was calculated in accordance with regulation 5(2) or (3) as the case may be (or, if the same accounting period is the first accounting period to follow more than one relevant event, the aggregate of the amounts of the levies for the relevant periods in question so calculated), and
-
C is the amount which would have been the amount of the levy for the relevant period if it had been calculated in accordance with regulation 5(1) (or, if the same accounting period is the first accounting period to follow more than one relevant event, the aggregate of the amounts which would have been the amounts of the levies for the relevant periods in question so calculated).
If B − C is greater than A, the levy for the first subsequent accounting period shall be reduced to zero and the levy for the next accounting period (or, as appropriate, the levies for more than one subsequent accounting period) shall be reduced such that the aggregate reduction is equal to the difference between B − C and A.
In this regulation a “relevant event” is—
the submission of a levy return relating to the relevant period in circumstances where neither regulation 5(2)(b) nor regulation 5(2)(c) applies,
QCA ceasing to have reason to believe either of the matters referred to in regulation 5(2)(b) or (c), or
the submission of an auditor’s certificate relating to the relevant period.
