Paragraph 8

Where the registrar has not received by 1st June of any year, from a veterinary surgeon or veterinary practitioner resident in the United Kingdom, a retention fee due on the immediately preceding 31st March, he shall send a warning that failure to pay the fee will result in the removal from the register or supplementary veterinary register of the name in relation to which the fee is due and, if the fee is not received within one month of the issue of the warning, he shall remove the name from the register or the supplementary veterinary register. Where, in the case of a veterinary surgeon or veterinary practitioner resident outside the United Kingdom, the fee has not been paid within three months after the issue of the warning letter, the Council shall decide what further action, if any, shall be taken before that name shall be removed.
