Updated figures likely to confirm super levy
With 99% of returns received from co-operatives in late April, the level of milk deliveries up to the end of March was estimated to be at 0.69% above quota, following estimated adjustments for the butter fat content and the leap year. Based on these estimates a national super levy fine in the region of €11m liability was expected.
Final figures are expected by late August, allowing co-operatives to notify each milk producer who has a super levy liability and request that it be paid to the Department of Agriculture by Oct 1, 2012.
