# The National Park Authorities (Levies) (Wales) Regulations 1995, Regulation 7: Substituted levies


(1) Subject to the following provisions of this regulation, a National Park authority which has issued a levy for a financial year under these Regulations (originally or by way of substitute) may issue a levy in substitution.
(2) No levy may be issued in substitution if its amount would be greater than the amount of the levy for which it is substituted, except as provided for by paragraph (3) below.
(3) The amount of any levy issued in substitution (“the new levy”) may be greater than the amount of that for which it is substituted (“the old levy”) if the old levy is quashed because of a failure to fulfil the requirements of section 71 of the 1995 Act but, in a case where the old levy is quashed because of a failure to fulfil the requirements of regulation 5, only so far as the new levy is required to be increased to effect a proper apportionment.
(4) A new levy shall be issued in accordance with these Regulations and, in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing provision), a new levy shall, be issued in accordance with regulation 6 and as if, in the term “A” in the definition of “maximum amount” in paragraph (5) of regulation 6, the reference to the levy included a new levy.
(5) Where a National Park authority issues a new levy anything paid to it by reference to the old levy shall be treated as paid by reference to the new levy.
(6) If the amount of the old levy exceeds that of the new levy, the following shall apply as regards to anything paid if it would not have been paid had the amount of the old levy been the same as the new levy—
(a) it shall be repaid if the relevant billing authority by whom it was paid so requires;
(b) in any other case it shall (as the National Park authority determines) either be repaid or be credited against any subsequent liability of the relevant billing authority in respect of any levy issued by the National Park authority.
