(3)     Despite paragraph (1) if a provider was registered under the 1978 Law or the 1994 Law and has not cancelled that registration by 1st February 2019, an annual fee is payable for 2019 that is 50% of the fee that would have been payable under the 1978 Law or the 1994 Law (as the case may be) had that registration continued plus 50% of the fee otherwise payable under paragraph (1).
