403 Late payment fee

(2) Without limiting subsection (1), a late payment fee may relate to each day or part of a day that the basic charge remains unpaid after becoming due and payable.
(3) The rules may prescribe one or more persons who are liable to pay a late payment fee in relation to a cost‑recovery charge referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of the definition of cost‑recovery charge in section 12.
