406: Implementation of levies

You could also call this:

“How levies are enforced and collected for different company groups”

The Registrar can refuse to do their job until you pay the required levy. If you belong to more than one group listed in Schedule 15, you might have to pay different levies for each group, unless the rules say otherwise. If you don’t pay your levy, the Registrar or another appointed person can take you to court to recover the money you owe on behalf of the Crown.
