Erratum to General Notice 516 of 2020, published in Government Gazette No. 43734 of 25 September 2020

 

The proposed fees payable by new applicants to the Nuclear Regulator for its regulatory services would increase from an hourly rate of R2, 029 for 2019-20 financial year to an hourly rate of R2, 120 instead of R2, 181 as gazetted.

 

From 2020/21 financial year, authorisation fees shall be billed annually in advance, and payment of such fees shall be due within thirty (30) days of the issuance of the invoice.  Interest shall accrue on the outstanding amount after 30 days of the issuance of the invoice.

 

Furthermore, interest shall be calculated on the daily balance owing and compounded monthly.  The interest rate determined by the Minister of Finance in terms of section 80 of the Public Finance Management Act 1999, (Act No. 1 of 1999) shall be applicable.

 

The erroneous proposed nuclear authorization fees are to be replaced by new CPI-adjusted nuclear fees depicted below
