Every person to whom a licence is first granted shall, at the date of such grant, pay the prescribed fee.
The holder of a licence on the 1st January of any calendar year shall, on or before the 15th January in each calendar year, pay the prescribed renewal fee, and there shall be payable by a licensee who fails to pay the prescribed renewal fee by that date a surcharge of one-twelfth of that fee for every month or part of a month after the 15th January in each year that the fee is not paid.
A licence in respect of which the prescribed renewal fee remains unpaid by the 31st March in any year shall lapse forthwith but if, within a period of one month, the person who held the licence prior to its lapse pays —
the prescribed renewal fee;
the surcharges due under subsection (2); and
an administration fee of ten per cent of the prescribed renewal fee,
the licence may be renewed for the period from the 1st January to the 31st December, inclusive, of the year in question.
Without prejudice to the foregoing provisions of this section, if the renewal fee referred to in subsection (2) is not paid on or before the 15th January in each calendar year, the unpaid renewal fee may be sued for by the Crown by action as a civil debt and the Crown may require, and the court may order, the payment of any penalties accrued in respect of the late payment of the fee.
A holder of a licence under this Act who does not inform the Authority of such changes made relating to any of the information furnished in accordance with section 5(6) as may be prescribed within fourteen days after any such change has occurred commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of ten thousand dollars.
In subsection (4) — “court” means the Grand Court or a court of summary jurisdiction, as the case may be.
