(1) Where a person fails to pay the annual fee or any part of such fee for a marketing authorisation or product licence within 30 days from and including the due date, he shall pay an additional fee equivalent–

(3) Where the person to whom regulation 11(1) applies has not furnished evidence of his annual turnover in accordance with the provisions of Part I of Schedule 3 so that the annual fee payable by him cannot be determined before the due date, he may make a payment of an amount on account of the annual fee payable by him.
(4) Where a person to whom regulation 11(1) applies has made a payment on account in the circumstances mentioned in paragraph (3), any additional fee payable by him under this regulation shall be calculated as if, in paragraph (1) above, the reference to the annual fee payable were a reference to the difference between the payment on account and the amount of the annual fee as subsequently determined.
