Payment of CIL
We will issue a Demand Notice following commencement of your development. The Demand Notice will detail the amount of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) due, a payment reference (which will need to be quoted when making payment) and information about instalments where relevant. A payment reference looks like - CIL123456-LP00123-1
Late payment of a CIL charge means any instalment plan is lost and all remaining CIL Liability (all instalments) will then become due in full immediately.

Instalments
The CIL Regulations set a default requiring full payment of the Levy charge within 60 days of the commencement of the chargeable development.
Regulation 69B of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended) allows a Charging Authority to establish an Instalments Policy for more flexible payment arrangements.
