Article 83 Collection and application of fees or charges
United Kingdom
An operator shall only be charged with a fee or charge for an official control and for another official activity performed on the basis of a complaint if that control leads to the confirmation of non-compliance.
Fees or charges collected in accordance with Articles 79 and 80 shall not be directly or indirectly refunded, unless unduly collected.
Competent authorities may—
arrange for fees or charges to be collected by authorities other than the competent authorities or by delegated bodies;
publish details of how and when fees or charges are to be paid;
make separate provision for payment in respect of operators who have previously failed to pay fees or charges that are due;
recover any unpaid fee or charge as a civil debt.
