31 Payable levy amount for landfill facility

(1)  The payable levy amount in respect of a landfill facility for a calendar month is the amount obtained by multiplying the prescribed levy by each tonne of waste received by that facility in that month, and deducting from that amount the total of the amounts of each rebate, for each tonne of waste, to which the operator is entitled under section 30 for that month in relation to that landfill facility.

(2)  If the amount, calculated under subsection (1) , in respect of a landfill facility for a calendar month is greater than zero, that amount is the payable levy amount for that landfill facility for that calendar month.

(3)  If the total of the amounts of each rebate for a calendar month (the rebate total), calculated under subsection (1) , is greater than the amount obtained by multiplying the prescribed levy by each tonne of waste received by that facility in that month (the total levy amount) –

(a) the amount by which the rebate total is greater than the total levy amount is to be deducted from the next payable levy amount for that landfill facility; and

(b) if the amount to be deducted under paragraph (a) is more than the next payable levy amount for the landfill facility, the remainder of that amount, after the deduction, is to be deducted from payable levy amounts for subsequent calendar months in accordance with this subsection until fully discharged.

(4)  An operator in relation to a landfill facility must pay to the Secretary, within 30 working days after the end of each calendar month, the payable levy amount in relation to the landfill facility for the calendar month.
