Refund of Fees

This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum

6.—(1) Subject to paragraph (5), where the Department is satisfied that—

(a)a licensed operator has ceased to operate from every operating centre specified in their operator’s licence, other than by reason of the suspension or revocation of that licence;

(b)that a licensed operator has transferred some or all of their undertaking as a licensed operator to another person; and

(c)before the date of the transfer the transferee has been granted a new operator’s licence in relation to any operating centre specified in the transferor’s licence,

the Department shall, upon receipt of a written request for a refund accompanied by the transferor’s licence, refund a proportion of the fee paid for the grant of that licence being an amount calculated in accordance with paragraph (3).

(2) Where an operator’s licence has been granted and before its expiry, the licensed operator has been granted a new licence, the Department shall, upon receipt of a written request for a refund accompanied by the first mentioned licence, refund a proportion of the fee paid for the grant of that licence being an amount calculated in accordance with paragraph (3).

(3) Subject to paragraph (4), the amount referred to in paragraphs (1) and (2) shall be that proportion of the fee which the number of full years remaining on the operator’s licence bears to the period for which the licence was granted, the number of full years being calculated from the date of receipt by the Department of both the request for a refund and the licence.

(4) Where the calculation in accordance with paragraph (3) would have the result that the amount refundable would include a fraction of a pound then the amount refundable shall be rounded to the nearest pound.

(5) Where a proportion of the fee paid for the grant of an operator’s licence is refunded in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2) that licence shall cease to have effect.
