Levy
Levy : For the Control of Pesticides Regulations, under section 18 of the Food and Environment Act 1985, as amended by the Pesticides (Fees and Enforcement) Act 1989, Ministers are empowered to recover costs of running the COPR pesticides scheme and for operating monitoring systems. The levy collection exercise commences each year in September with a request to Approval Holders to declare their sales turnover for a given 12 month period. Invoices are subsequently sent out the following January. All Approval Holders are charged an annual Pesticide Levy on HSE approved pesticide products. The declaration figures are needed to enable the levy rate to be set, which varied from year to year depending on the total turnover for all HSE approved products. For 2007/2008 the levy was 0.6% of gross turnover
