# The Fossil Fuel Levy Regulations 1990, Regulation 15: Unclaimed quantities of non-leviable electricity


(1) This regulation shall apply if at any time it becomes apparent to the Director (after taking account of the effect of regulations 8 to 10 and 14) that licensed suppliers are purporting to have supplied during any qualifying month quantities of electricity other than leviable electricity which are less than the quantities of such electricity which the Director has reason to believe were generated during that month.
(2) In any case where this regulation applies, the Director may reduce in the appropriate manner the quantities of leviable electricity set out in the statements for the qualifying month in question furnished by licensed suppliers in accordance with regulation 12.
(3) For the purposes of paragraph (2) the appropriate manner is a manner which causes each quantity as reduced by the Director to bear the same proportion to the aggregate of the quantities as so reduced as each quantity of leviable electricity set out in the statements mentioned in that paragraph bears to the aggregate of the quantities so set out.
(4) As soon as he has reduced quantities in accordance with paragraph (2) and (3), the Director shall serve on each licensed supplier concerned a notice setting out any quantities so reduced and the quantities from which they have been reduced which are relevant to that supplier.
(5) As soon as he receives a notice served under paragraph (4), the licensed supplier shall forthwith recalculate the amount of the payment in respect of the levy due from him in respect of the qualifying month in question, and he may deduct from the next payment due from him under regulation 11 an amount equal to the difference between–
(a) the amount already due from him in respect of that qualifying month; and
(b) the amount shown to be due by the recalculation in accordance with this paragraph,
(together with an amount in respect of interest in accordance with regulation 29(2) ).
(6) The licensed supplier shall furnish the Director with a copy of the recalculation made in accordance with paragraph (5) at the same time as he makes the next payment mentioned in that paragraph.
