Calculation of penalty for conservancy and service charge or licence fee in arrears

(2) In calculating the amount of penalty payable by a tenant, owner or licensee under paragraph (1), a fraction of a dollar which is less than 50 cents shall be rounded off as 50 cents, and a fraction of a dollar which is more than 50 cents shall be rounded off to the nearest dollar.

(2) The administrative fee of $50 referred to in paragraph (1) shall be payable only once so long as the conservancy and service charge, licence fee, penalty or any part thereof remains unpaid.
