9 Calculation of fee

(1)

The total class 4 venue annual fee payable by a licence holder for the period for which a licence is granted or renewed must be calculated by—

(a)

using the formula in subclause (2) to calculate the amount of fees for each full and part financial year for which the licence is valid; and

(b)

adding together the amounts calculated for each full and part financial year.

(2)

The formula referred to in subclause (1) is—

a × b × c

where—

a

is the number of whole months in any one financial year for which the licence is valid; and

b

is the relevant monthly rate of annual fee (specified in the fourth column of Part 2 of Schedule 2) for that financial year; and

c

is the number of gaming machines specified in the licence.

(3)

If a class 4 venue annual fee has been paid under regulation 8(1)(c) and the fee payable for the period for which the licence is renewed differs from the amount paid (whether because the renewal of the licence is to be granted for a period other than 12 months, or for some other reason), the difference between the fee already paid and the fee calculated in accordance with this regulation—

(a)

is payable by the applicant (if a higher fee is payable than the fee already paid); or

(b)

may be refunded by the Secretary to the applicant (if a lower fee is payable than the fee already paid).

10 Additional fee payable if number of gaming machines increases

(1)

An additional amount of class 4 venue annual fee is payable if, during the term of a class 4 venue licence, the licence is amended to include additional gaming machines.

the amount payable by the licence holder under the amended licence for the whole months for which the licence remains valid after the date of the amendment; and

(b)

the amount paid by the licence holder for the whole months for which the licence remains valid after the date of the amendment.

The Secretary may refund to the holder of a class 4 venue licence any class 4 venue annual fee paid by the holder if the licence has been amended to specify a number of gaming machines that is fewer than the number of gaming machines specified in the licence immediately before the amendment.

(2)

The amount the Secretary may refund is the difference between—

(a)

the amount paid by the licence holder for the whole months for which the licence remains valid after the date of the amendment; and

(b)

the amount payable by the licence holder under the amended licence for the whole months for which the licence remains valid after the date of the amendment.

12 Additional fee payable if licence holder ceases to be small club

(1)

An additional amount of class 4 venue annual fee is payable if, during the term of the class 4 venue licence, the licence holder ceases to be a small club.

(2)

The amount of additional fee payable by the licence holder is the difference between—

(a)

the amount payable by the licence holder as a corporate society other than a small club under the licence for the whole months for which the licence remains valid after the date on which the licence holder ceases to be a small club; and

(b)

the amount paid by the licence holder for the whole months for which the licence remains valid after the date on which the licence holder ceases to be a small club.

13 Refund of fee if licence holder becomes small club

(1)

The Secretary may refund to the holder of a class 4 venue licence any class 4 venue annual fee paid by the holder if, during the term of the licence, the licence holder becomes a small club.

the amount paid by the licence holder for the whole months for which the licence remains valid after the date on which the licence holder becomes a small club; and

the amount payable by the licence holder as a small club under the licence for the whole months for which the licence remains valid after the date on which the licence holder becomes a small club.

14 Refund of fee if class 4 licence surrendered

(1)

The Secretary may refund to a corporate society a class 4 venue annual fee paid by the society if the society has surrendered its relevant class 4 venue licence under section 79 of the Act.

(2)

The amount the Secretary may refund is the amount paid by the licence holder for the whole months for which the licence would have remained valid had it not been surrendered.

(1)

If a class 4 operator’s licence is to be granted for a period other than 12 months, the class 4 operator’s annual fee payable must be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
