Annual fee for occupational associations subject to a scheme
4 Annual fee for occupational associations subject to a scheme
In this regulation —
scheme year, in respect of a scheme in force under the Act, means a year beginning on the day the scheme begins or on an anniversary of that day.
This regulation applies to any occupational association whose members are subject to a scheme in force under the Act.
In each scheme year of a scheme an occupational association must pay to the Council a fee of $50 for each of those members of the association who are ordinarily resident in the State and who are subject to the scheme at any time during the year.
The association must pay the fee —
if the scheme commences during the period of 3 months ending on 31 March in any year — not later than 31 March in each year;
if the scheme commences during the period of 3 months ending on 30 June in any year — not later than 30 June in each year;
if the scheme commences during the period of 3 months ending on 30 September in any year — not later than 30 September in each year;
if the scheme commences during the period of 3 months ending on 31 December in any year — not later than 31 January of each following year.
If the scheme becomes applicable to an additional member of the occupational association who is ordinarily resident in the State after the association pays the fee for a scheme year, the association must pay the fee in relation to the additional member for that scheme year by the date the fee for the next scheme year is due under subregulation (4).
