How do I pay the Levy

How is levy invoiced?

  1. If you have not requested payment by Direct Debit, Levy is invoiced in two equal instalments in October and February annually.
 
Methods of Payment:

  1. 1. Direct Debit in 10 equal monthly instalments**
  2.  
  3. CITB  NI would encourage levy payers to pay their levy assessment by Direct Debit for which there is no additional charge.
  4.  
  5. This process allows levy payers to pay in 10 equal monthly instalments (October - July inclusive).
  6.  
  7. Although we encourage levy payers to commence paying by Direct Debit in October, we will accept this request any time between October and July provided you have supplied actual Returns.
  8.  
  9. Please note that if you are audited during the year and the amount of levy due changes, you will receive a revised schedule of payments prior to CITB NI collecting the next instalment of levy.
  10.  
  11. Additional levy for prior years cannot be collected by Direct Debit.  Payment for the additional amount for prior years must be made separately within 1 month from the date of the invoice.
  12.
