If your data is late, but is received by midnight on the fifth working day after the submission deadline, you will be fined £50 + VAT. This penalty is per centre, per submission. Data submitted after this will not be accepted, and the member will be expelled from QUIC with immediate effect. 

7. Failure to pay any penalty fine within 30 days of issuance will result in immediate expulsion from QUIC.   

8. Re-admission to QUIC for members who have been expelled for failure to return data will be at the discretion of English UK.
