337: Payment of levies

You could also call this:

"Paying oil pollution levies to help keep our seas clean"

Illustration for Maritime Transport Act 1994

You pay oil pollution levies to the Authority. The Authority is the group that gets the levies. You pay them every year if that is how your levy is worked out. If it is not worked out every year, you pay the Authority or another person they choose. When someone gets a levy, they must put it into the New Zealand Oil Pollution Fund. This fund is where all the levies go.
