196.5. Where, for a particular fiscal year, the total amount of the contributions paid under section 196.3 is less than or is more than the amount of the expenditures incurred by the Office, the contribution of each member, established in accordance with section 196.3, shall be increased or reduced, as the case may be.
The increase or reduction shall be determined by establishing the difference between the expenditures incurred by the Office for that fiscal year and the total amount of contributions paid for the year of reference and dividing that difference by the total number of members entered on the roll of every order on the last day of that fiscal year. The charge payable pursuant to section 196.8 shall be deducted when the increase or reduction is determined.
For the purposes of this section, the fiscal year 1998-99 is the first particular fiscal year for which the contribution of each member established in accordance with section 196.3 is increased or reduced. The year of reference used as the basis for computing the contribution begins on 1 April 1995 and ends on 31 March 1996.
