(1A) If an amount of a fee (the increased fee) specified in paragraph (a) of item 2, 10 or 13 of the table in subsection (1) is increased under section 107A, the increased fee is to be used for the purposes of working out the amount of the fee under subparagraph (b)(i) of the item.
(1B) If an amount of a fee (the increased fee) specified in paragraph (b) of item 3, 11 or 14 of the table in subsection (1) is increased under section 107A, the increased fee is to be used for the purposes of working out the amount of the fee under paragraph (a) of the item.
(2) If a person asks for a fee‑bearing activity to be carried out at a particular time, and the carrying out of the activity at that time would mean that the person would be liable to pay a fee under item 2, 3, 10, 11, 13 or 14 in the table in subsection (1), the activity must not be carried out until the person has been informed about the fee.
(3) Unless the contrary intention appears, each fee that may be charged under this instrument in relation to a fee‑bearing activity is in addition to any other fee that may be charged under this instrument in relation to the activity.
