Article 2
1. The turnover of a person's postal services business shall be calculated in conformity with accounting practices and principles which are generally accepted in the United Kingdom.
2. The turnover shall be limited to the amounts derived from the person's postal services business after deduction of sales rebates, value added tax and other taxes directly related to turnover.
3. When a person's postal services business consists of two or more undertakings that each prepare accounts then the turnover shall be calculated by adding together the turnover of each, save that no account shall be taken of any turnover resulting from the supply of goods or the provision of services between them.
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order sets out rules governing the way in which the turnover of a person on whom OFCOM imposes a penalty under Schedule 7 to the Postal Services Act 2011 should be calculated.
A penalty may be imposed on a person to whom OFCOM has given a notification under paragraph 2, (contravention of a regulatory requirement), or an enforcement notification under paragraph 5(2) (contravention of a requirement in a notification under paragraph 2), of Schedule 7.
Where OFCOM determines under Schedule 7 that a person is in contravention of a requirement of a notification, it may impose on that person a penalty of up to 10 per cent of the turnover of the person's postal services business, calculated in accordance with the rules specified in this Order.
