Commercial exploitation
19
1
For the purposes of this Part a quantity of aggregate is subjected to exploitation if, and only if—

it is removed from a site falling within subsection (2) below;
b
it becomes subject to an agreement to supply it to any person;
c
it is used for construction purposes; or
d
it is mixed, otherwise than in permitted circumstances, with any material or substance other than water.

the originating site of the aggregate;
b
any site which is not the originating site of the aggregate but is registered under the name of a person under whose name that originating site is also registered;
c
any site not falling within paragraph (a) or (b) above to which the quantity of aggregate had been removed for the purpose of having an exempt process applied to it on that site but at which no such process has been applied to it.
3
For the purposes of this Part the exploitation to which a quantity of aggregate is subjected shall be taken to be commercial exploitation if, and only if—
a
it is subjected to exploitation in the course or furtherance of a business carried on by the person, or one of the persons, responsible for subjecting it to exploitation;
b
the exploitation to which it is subjected does not consist in its removal from one registered site to another in a case where both sites are registered under the name of the same person;

d
the exploitation to which it is subjected does not consist in or require its removal to any premises for the purpose of having china clay or ball clay extracted or otherwise separated from it on that site; and
e
the exploitation to which it is subjected is not such that, as a result and without its being subjected to any process involving its being mixed with any other substance or material (apart from water), it again becomes part of the land at the original site by virtue of it being used for a purpose connected with winning aggregate or other minerals from the site.
3A
For the purposes of subsection (3)(a) above “

b
that site and other land.
4A
Where this subsection applies, so long as the site mentioned in
subsection (4)
, or that site and the other land, continue to be occupied by P for relevant purposes, subsection (3)(e) has effect as if—

but references in this Part to the supply of a quantity of aggregate do not include references to any supply which is effected, or is to be effected, by the transfer or creation of any interest or right in or over land.
7
For the purposes of this section a quantity of aggregate is mixed with a material or substance in permitted circumstances if—

2
Where any aggregate which is on its originating site on the commencement date has been mixed before that date with aggregate the originating site of which would (but for this subsection) be different, the site where the mixture is situated on that date shall be deemed for the purposes of this Part to be the originating site of all the aggregate comprised in the mixture.

Administration and enforcement

The register
24
1
It shall be the duty of the Commissioners to establish and maintain a register of persons who are required to be registered for the purposes of aggregates levy.

exempt from such obligations or liabilities imposed by or under this Part on persons required to be registered for the purposes of aggregates levy as may be prescribed.

for winning any aggregate,

they may, if they think fit, register those premises, in any entry relating to that person and under his name, as a registered site.
7
Where any premises are registered in accordance with subsection (6) above as a registered site, the particulars included in the register shall set out as the boundaries of the site such boundaries as appear to the Commissioners best to secure that avoidance of levy is not facilitated by the registration of any part of any premises that is not used or operated as mentioned in subsection (6) above.
8
Where any entry in the register at any time specifies that any premises registered under a person’s name as a registered site are to be taken to be the originating site of—

for the correction of errors made when accounting for aggregates levy by reference to any period;
c
for the entries to be made in any accounts in connection with the correction of any such errors and for the financial adjustments to be made in that connection;

he shall be liable to a penalty of £250.
4
Liability to a penalty under subsection (3) above shall not arise if the taxpayer satisfies the Commissioners or, on appeal, an appeal tribunal—
a
that there is a reasonable excuse for the failure to make the return or to pay the levy in accordance with regulations; and
b
that there is not an occasion after the last day on which the return or payment was required by the regulations to be made when there was a failure without reasonable excuse to make it.
5
Where, by reason of any failure falling within paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (3) above—
a
a person is convicted of an offence (whether under this Act or otherwise), or
b
a person is assessed to a penalty under paragraph 7 of Schedule 6 to this Act (penalty for evasion) or a penalty for a deliberate inaccuracy under Schedule 24 to the Finance Act 2007 (penalties for errors),
that person shall not, by reason of that failure, be liable also to a penalty under that subsection (3).

a
he has been required to give security under this section; and
b
he has not complied with that requirement.
4
A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable, on summary conviction, to a penalty of level 5 on the standard scale£20,000.
5
Sections 145 to 155 of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 (c. 2) (proceedings for offences, mitigation of penalties and certain other matters) shall apply in relation to an offence under this section as they apply in relation to offences and penalties under the customs and excise Acts.
6
In subsection (1) above the reference to a person who is required to be registered for the purposes of aggregates levy includes a reference to a person who would be so required but for any exemption conferred by regulations under section 24(4) above.

3
Subsection (4) below applies for the purposes of subsection (2) above where—
a
there is an amount paid by way of aggregates levy which (apart from subsection (2) above) would fall to be the subject of a repayment of aggregates levy to any person (“the taxpayer”); and

whether or to what extent the repayment of an amount to the taxpayer would enrich him; or

any enactment or subordinate legislation (whether or not still in force) which relates to that levy or to any matter connected with it; or

4
Where, on an appeal under section 40 above, it is found that the whole or part of any amount paid or deposited in pursuance of section 41(2) above is not due, so much of that amount as is found not to be due shall be repaid with interest at the rate applicable under section 197 of the Finance Act 1996.

2

a
an agreement with regard to any sum payable in respect of the use of land (whether the sum is called rent or royalty or otherwise) provides that the amount of the sum is to be calculated by reference to—
i
the turnover of a business, or
ii
the price received for minerals extracted from the land,
b
