(ii) any supplementary levy contribution shall be applied on the basis set out in the Schedule.

4.

6. The Bank shall determine the appropriate category or categories in the Schedule that shall apply to a regulated entity.

7. Where in the reasonable opinion of the Bank the obligation of a regulated entity to pay a levy contribution or part thereof, or a supplementary levy contribution or part thereof would be likely to make that regulated entity insolvent, or, where the regulated entity is a sole trader, bankrupt, the Bank may waive the obligation of that regulated entity under these Regulations to pay a levy contribution or part thereof or a supplementary levy contribution or part thereof. The Bank may waive, reduce, or remit a levy contribution or part thereof, or a supplementary levy contribution or part thereof, in exceptional circumstances at the Bank’s discretion.

(b) the due date for payment of the levy contribution.

10. If no levy notice is received by a regulated entity setting out the levy contribution for such entity by 18th October 2013 then the 15th November 2013 shall be the due date for the payment of the levy contribution by such regulated entity in accordance with these Regulations.

11. Without prejudice to whether a levy notice issues setting out a levy contribution, where a supplementary levy contribution applies, a levy notice specifying the supplementary levy contribution will issue to a regulated entity.

12. The levy contribution, supplementary levy contribution (if applicable) and any interest accrued in accordance with Regulation 14 shall be paid by a regulated entity by cheque, direct bank transfer or equivalent electronic transfer of funds to a bank account specified by the Bank, or as is otherwise specified by the Bank.

(b) An appeal must set out in writing the grounds of the appeal and should include, in particular, all supporting documentation or representations;

(c) Payment or a receipt evidencing payment of that portion of the levy contribution or supplementary levy contribution that is not under appeal must be submitted with an appeal under this Regulation;

(d) The Bank shall advise the regulated entity or former regulated entity concerned in writing of its determination of the appeal and details of any amount outstanding in respect of the disputed amount of levy contribution and/or supplementary levy contribution and the due date applicable for the payment of any outstanding levy contribution and/or supplementary levy contribution.

14. Without prejudice to any other remedy available to the Bank, where a required levy contribution or supplementary levy contribution has not been received by the due date, interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the provisions of the European Communities (Late Payment in Commercial Transactions) Regulations 2012 ( S.I. No. 580 of 2012 ) or any amending or replacing legislation.

15. Every sum payable by a regulated entity under these Regulations, including interest, for or on account of the Bank shall be recoverable by the Bank from that person as a simple contract debt in a court of competent jurisdiction.

17. A levy notice, or other notice or document, required or authorised to be served by the Bank under these Regulations may be served:

It reflects the Central Bank’s assessment of the potential impact of the failure of a regulated entity on financial stability and consumers. Subject to the following, which shall apply to each member of a Credit Institution Group, each credit institution within category A1a shall be liable to pay the levy contribution corresponding to its impact category. However, where a credit institution is a member of a Credit Institution Group, the Credit Institution Group shall transfer the levy amount applicable to the Ultra High Category to the Central Bank on behalf of all its constituent members, with the proportion of the Credit Institution Group Levy for which an individual constituent member is liable being calculated according to the following formula: A = B/C * D Where: A = proportion of the Credit Institution Group Levy for which the individual constituent member is liable; and B = levy amount which the individual constituent member would be obliged to pay if it were not being assessed as part of a Credit Institution Group; and C = total sum of B for all individual constituent members of the Credit Institution Group; and D = Credit Institution Group Levy (i.e. the Ultra High impact category levy). For example, in the case of a notional Credit Institution Group with three constituent members, each one of which falls within the ‘High’ impact category, the total levy payable by the Credit Institution Group will be €4,118,456 (the ‘Ultra High’ impact category levy) and each individual constituent member’s proportion of this levy liability is: €1,868,749 / (€1,868,7493) €4,118,456 = €1,372,819 The supplementary levy contribution is a separate levy which shall be paid in addition to the levy contribution.
	Supplementary Levy Contribution For the purposes of providing the Central Bank with sufficient funds to enable it to continue to perform its functions and exercise its powers, the ELG Scheme Institutions listed below and their subsidiaries that are credit institutions authorised under Irish legislation shall be liable to pay a supplementary levy to the Bank. Such supplementary levy will be set out in a levy notice sent to the ELG Scheme Institutions. Each ELG Scheme Institution and each subsidiary shall be liable to pay their due proportion of the supplementary levy; however, each of the named ELG Scheme Institutions may transfer the supplementary levy to the Bank for and on behalf of each of its subsidiaries. A regulated entity that ceases to be regulated during the levy period will be required to pay the supplementary levy in respect of the entire levy period.

However, where an Insurance Undertaking is a member of an Insurance Undertaking Group, and where the Central Bank has objectively determined by reference to PRISM and the resources the Central Bank expends on supervising the members of such an insurance Undertaking Group that it is necessary that such Insurance Undertaking Group shall pay the levy amount applicable to the Ultra High impact category (and where the Central Bank has notified each member of such Insurance Undertaking Group of this determination in writing), the Insurance Undertaking Group shall transfer the levy amount applicable to the Ultra High impact category to the Central Bank on behalf of all its constituent members with the proportion of the Insurance Undertaking Group Levy for which an individual constitutent member is liable being calculated according to the following formula:A = B/C * D Where: A = proportion of the Insurance Undertaking Group Levy for which the individual constituent member is liable; and B = levy amount which the individual constituent member would be obliged to pay if it were not being assessed as part of an Insurance Undertaking Group; and C = total sum of B for all individual constituent members of the Insurance Undertaking Group; andD = Insurance Undertaking Group Levy (i.e. the Ultra High impact category levy). For example, in the case of a notional Insurance Undertaking Group with three constituent members, each one of which falls within the ‘High’ impact category, the total levy payable by the Insurance Undertaking Group will be €1,223,409 (the ‘Ultra High’ impact category levy) and each individual constituent member’s proportion of this levy liability is: €555,122 / (€555,1223) €1,223,409 = €407,803 Where an Insurance Undertaking is a member of an Insurance Undertaking Group, but does not receive written notification from the Central Bank that such Insurance Undertaking Group shall transfer the levy amount applicable to the Ultra High impact category to the Central Bank on behalf of all its constituent members, such Insurance Undertaking shall be liable to pay the levy contribution corresponding to its impact category.
