8A—Refund of levies

        (1)         In this regulation—

"donation" means a gift for no consideration.

"environmental donations entitlement" means an environmental donations entitlement under the Natural Resources Management (General) Regulations 2005 .

        (2)         For the purposes of section 114 of the Act—

            (a)         the donation of the whole or a part of a water access entitlement or a water allocation to the holder of an environmental donations entitlement (for water to be used for environmental purposes); and

            (b)         the variation of conditions attached to a water licence or water allocation so that the licence or the water allocation will become an environmental donations entitlement,

are recognised as natural resources management practices on which an application for a refund of a water levy may be based.

        (3)         The maximum proportion of a water levy that may be subject to a refund (the "eligible levy amount") is equal to the proportion of the allocation or water access entitlement donated, or within the ambit of the relevant condition, in the manner contemplated by subregulation (2).
