Prescribed fees

The Act to facilitate the payment of support provides for the following fees:

• If you receive a payment order pursuant to the Act and you fail to remit the amount owed within the prescribed period, the fee is $85.
• If a writ of seizure by garnishment is issued against you for the first time, further to a payment order, the fee is $110.
• If a negotiable instrument (such as a cheque) that you remitted to Revenu Québec is subsequently refused for insufficient funds by the financial institution on which it is drawn, the fee is $35.

These fees are payable for each file in respect of which you commit an offence. They bear interest at the legal rate.
