22—Monthly fee and return—large scale dairy processors

        (1)         An accredited producer carrying on a large scale dairy processing business must, within 14 days after the commencement of each month—

            (a)         pay a monthly fee that consists of—

                  (i)         an amount calculated by multiplying the relevant monthly rate by the number of litres or kilograms of dairy produce processed or packed by the producer during the last month but 1 before the commencement of the current month (the "relevant month"); and

                  (ii)         one twelfth of the relevant annual fee for the current financial year; and

            (b)         pay, on behalf of each accredited producer carrying on a dairy primary production business who sells milk to the processor, a monthly fee that consists of—

                  (i)         an amount calculated by multiplying the relevant monthly rate by the number of litres of milk sold by each such producer to the processor during the relevant month; and

                  (ii)         one twelfth of the relevant annual fee for the current financial year; and

            (c)         lodge a return for the relevant month.

        (2)         If an accredited producer has not carried on business under the accreditation during the relevant month or part of the relevant month, the monthly fee is to be calculated according to the Authority's reasonable assumptions as to what would have been the producer's level of activity had the producer carried on the business during the whole of that relevant month.
