<(m)make known the assistance and facilities which may be provided to local authorities and other persons under this Act;


(n)generally assist in making Northern Ireland attractive to visitors by
encouraging the improvement and extension of every branch of service
ordinarily rendered to visitors.

[1.(1) The amount of [the fee] payable in respect of any
annual registration certificate issued under section twelve of this Act shall
be [five pounds] or [one percent] of the net annual value of the premises to
which the certificate relates, whichever is the greater, but shall not exceed
the sum of [one hundred pounds].]

[(2) In calculating the amount of [a fee] payable in accordance with the
preceding provisions of this paragraph by reference to a percentage of the net
annual value of the premises, any sum less than [5p] shall be left out of
account.

(3) Notwithstanding anything in the preceding provisions of this Act, such
registration certificates as aforesaid [shall bear such indication of the
payment of fees] under this paragraph as the [Board] may consider
appropriate.]

2. In calculating the amount of any [fee] [payable in accordance with
paragraph 1 of this Schedule] the net annual value of any catering
establishment shall be taken to mean the aggregate net annual value of all
hereditaments... comprised in that establishment as shown in [the valuation
list under the Rates (Northern Ireland) Order 1977 at the beginning of the
financial year] immediately preceding that in respect of which [the fee] is
payable:

Provided that

(a)in the case of any catering establishment not comprised in any hereditament
appearing in [the valuation list at the beginning of] the said immediately
preceding financial year the net annual value shall be such amount as the
Commissioner of Valuation certifies would have been placed on such
establishment had an application been made for its valuation as a separate
hereditament [at the beginning of that year];

(b)in any case where a catering establishment forms part of a hereditament
also used for the purposes of any other business or businesses and, within one
month before the expiration of the said immediately preceding financial year,
an application is made to the Commissioner of Valuation to have the catering
establishment valued as a separate hereditament, the net annual value shall
for the purposes of this Schedule be taken to be such amount as the
Commissioner of Valuation certifies to be the valuation of the premises as a
separate hereditament;

(c)where in the opinion of the Commissioner of Valuation it is not possible to
fix a separate valuation in respect of a catering establishment which forms
part of a rateable hereditament, the net annual value of the catering
establishment shall for the purposes of this Schedule be taken to be such
amount as the Commissioner of Valuation certifies to bear the same proportion
to the net annual value of the hereditament as the gross receipts of the
catering establishment bear to the total gross receipts of all the businesses
carried on in the hereditament.

[3. The amount of [the fee] payable in respect of any
annual registration certificate issued to an outside caterer under section 23A
of this Act shall be one pound.]
