  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nSection 43 of the Sentencing Act 2020 (c.17) requires a court, when dealing with a person for one or more offences, to order that person to pay a surcharge. The amount of the surcharge that is payable in particular circumstances is set out in the Schedule to the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (Surcharge) (Order) 2012 (S.I. 2012/1696) (“the 2012 Order”). Regulation 2 of these Regulations substitutes the Schedule to the 2012 Order to provide for an increase in those amounts and reflects the changes made by the Sentencing Act 2020.\nRegulation 3 provides that the increased amounts do not apply where a court deals with a person for a single offence committed before the date on which these Regulations come into force, or where it deals with a person for more than one offence and at least one of those offences was committed before that date.\nA full impact assessment has been produced in respect of these Regulations and is available on www.legislation.gov.uk.",
