Pest management - Funding from levy

100M: Effect of order

You could also call this:

"What happens if you don't pay a levy you owe"

If you have to pay a levy set by a levy order, you must pay it. The management agency can take you to court to get the levy money if you do not pay. You will have to pay the levy as if it is a debt you owe.

The management agency has the power to recover the levy in a court of law. This means you can be taken to court if you do not pay the levy. You will then have to pay the levy like any other debt.
