# The National Rivers Authority (Levies) Regulations 1990, Regulation 10: Anticipation of levies: charging authorities


(1) In this regulation “relevant charging authority” means a local council which is a charging authority.
(2) Paragraphs (3) to (6) below apply where at the time when a relevant charging authority makes its calculations under section 95 of the 1988 Act for a financial year, the Authority has not issued to it a levy in respect of a district for that year.
(3) A relevant charging authority may, in estimating its expenditure under section 95(2)(a) of the 1988 Act, take into account its estimate of the amount of the levy that it expects will be issued to it by the Authority.
(4) If the relevant charging authority makes calculations for the year in substitution under section 96 of the 1988 Act at a time when a levy in respect of that year has not been issued to it by the Authority and an amount was taken into account under paragraph (3) above, the relevant charging authority shall, in estimating its expenditure under section 95(2)(a) of that Act, take into account an amount equal to that taken into account under paragraph (3) above.
(5) If the Authority issues no levy to the relevant charging authority in respect of a district for the year, the fact that an amount has been taken into account under paragraph (3) above does not make the relevant charging authority liable to pay anything in respect of that district to the Authority.
(6) Section 33(4)(a) of the 1988 Act shall apply in relation to the levy anticipated under this regulation as it applies in relation to a levy which is issued.
