# The Equine Identification (England) Regulations 2018, Regulation 40: Non-compliance penalty notice

Extent: E+W

(1) If an offender fails to comply with a compliance notice, the enforcing authority may, by way of serving a written notice (a “non-compliance penalty notice”) on the offender, require the offender to pay to the authority such sum (the “non-compliance penalty”) as the authority may specify in respect of that failure to comply.
(2) The enforcing authority may determine—
(a) the amount of the non-compliance penalty, but this must not exceed the amount which corresponds with level 1 on the standard scale; and
(b) whether any discount is offered in relation to early payment and, if so, the amount of any such discount (but see regulation 43(2)).
(3) If the requirements of a compliance notice are met before the payment period specified in a related non-compliance penalty notice expires, liability to pay the non-compliance penalty is discharged.
