If an unsterilised dog is registered for a period of one year and is sterilised within that period, the owner is entitled to a refund for that registration period of an amount equal to the difference between the registration fee paid for that year and the registration fee which would have been payable for a sterilised dog.
If an unsterilised dog is registered for a period of 3 years and is sterilised in the first year of that period, the owner is entitled to a refund for that registration period of an amount equal to the difference between the registration fee paid for those 3 years and the 3 year registration fee that would have been payable for a sterilised dog.
If an unsterilised dog is registered for a period of 3 years and is sterilised in the second year of that period, the owner is entitled to a refund for that registration period of an amount equal to the difference between two‑thirds of the registration fee paid for those 3 years and two‑thirds of the 3 year registration fee that would have been payable for a sterilised dog.
If an unsterilised dog is registered for a period of 3 years and is sterilised in the third year of that period, the owner is entitled to a refund for that registration period of an amount equal to the difference between one‑third of the registration fee paid for those 3 years and one‑third of the 3 year registration fee that would have been payable for a sterilised dog.
