8 Registration

(a) by wholesale to zone retailers, or

(b) by retail on premises within a zone, or

(c) by retail to zone consumers.

(3) The Chief Commissioner may register a person on the Chief Commissioner’s own motion or on application made by the person.

(3A) If the Chief Commissioner registers a person on the Chief Commissioner’s own motion, the Chief Commissioner may, by written notice, request the registered person to lodge a completed application for registration within 14 days after service of notice of the request or such longer period as may be specified in the request.

(4) Registration is subject to such conditions as may be imposed by the regulations and to such other conditions as the Chief Commissioner may specify in the certificate of registration.

(5) Registration takes effect from the starting date specified in the certificate of registration and remains in force (unless sooner cancelled) until the date of expiry specified in the certificate.

(6) Registration may be renewed from time to time by the Chief Commissioner on application made within the prescribed time before expiry.

(7) The Chief Commissioner may decline to renew the registration of a person on any of the grounds prescribed by or under section 10. In such a case, notice in writing of the intended refusal is to be served on the registered person.

(8) An application for registration is to be made in a form approved by the Chief Commissioner.

(9) For avoidance of doubt, any entitlement of a registered person to a subsidy under section 5 arises only in respect of petroleum products sold by the person while the registration of the person remains in force.
