Note to members

• The Society collects and pays the SLCC levy in terms of section 27 of the Legal Profession and Legal Aid Act (Scotland) 2007
• Members must let the Society know any changes in status or personal circumstances to ensure that Society invoices correctly
• Members holding a practising certificate on 30 June 2012 will be liable irrespective of unemployment/retirement or other status. For the avoidance of doubt only formal surrender of a practising certificate including the return of that certificate prior to close of business at 5pm on 29 June 2012 would avoid liability for those currently holding certificates.
• Formal invoices for payment will be sent out in May 2012.
• Payment will be due 22 June 2012 to facilitate clearance of payments and onward payment by the Society to the SLCC on 30 June 2012.
