Part 5	Refunds for surrender of an entitlement to an allotment 

A person surrendering an entitlement to an allotment may receive a proportion of the fees that they have paid as follows:
Allotment fee	75% of payment made for allotments except the Mausoleum	
	90% of payment made for a mausoleum crypt or columbarium niche	
Maintenance fee	100% of payment made, less 4% of the payment for each whole year from when payment was made

Plaque fee	100% of payment if no plaque has been installed, otherwise 0%	
Memorial Permit fee	100% of payment if no monument has been installed, otherwise 0%	

Note:	Where a surrender of an entitlement will involve the exhumation of a body, permission for the exhumation must first be obtained – see section 23 of the Act.

Part 6	Fees for the transfer of entitlement from one allotment to another

1.	If a person surrenders an entitlement to an allotment or crypt (the first entitlement) in order to transfer exclusive rights to another allotment or crypt in a cemetery managed by the cemeteries authority, they will be credited with 100% of the current fees (or their equivalent) relating to the first entitlement, less 
(a)	for the transfer of entitlement from a standard allotments or ashes allotment to another allotment – the miscellaneous service fee (set out in part 3 of the schedule) x 2; or
(b)	for the transfer of entitlement from one mausoleum crypt to mausoleum another - 4% of the original payment.
Note	The miscellaneous service fee is an hourly fee.
2.	The surrender and transfer of entitlement must be concurrent.
3.	Where components of the fee were not paid those components will not count toward the credit.
