136H   Accrual of interest on overdue charges

(1)  Section 566 of the Act applies in relation to any interest on an unpaid environmental upgrade charge that is charged by or on behalf of a finance provider under an environmental upgrade agreement in the same way as it applies in relation to rates and charges levied by a council under Chapter 15 of the Act.

(2)  Accordingly, a reference in section 566 (3) of the Act to the rate of interest set by the council is to be read as a reference to the rate of interest charged by or on behalf of the finance provider.
