Article 65A Failure to comply with deficit notice

(1) A person is liable to a civil penalty where the person fails to surrender (or to surrender on time) sufficient allowances, contrary to the requirements of a deficit notice given under article 44A.

(2) The civil penalty is -

(a) CP x 1.5 for each allowance not surrendered on or before the deficit surrender date set out in the deficit notice, where CP is the carbon price for the scheme year after the relevant scheme year set out in the notice; and

(b) a daily penalty at a daily rate of £1,000 for each day that the requirements of the deficit notice have not been complied with, beginning with the day on which the initial notice is given (see article 47(5)).
