13 (1) Subject to subsection (4), if the total value of credits and payments reported by the registered buyer in Form D, Part IV is less than the total of the required value and any deficiencies from the previous year as calculated in Form D, Part IV, the difference shall be deemed to be a deficiency applied to the registered buyer’s plan for the following year.

(2) If the total value of credits and payments reported by the registered buyer in Form D, Part IV is more than the total of the required value and any deficiencies from the previous year as calculated in Form D, Part IV, the difference shall be deemed to be a credit applied to the registered buyer’s plan for the following year.

(3) Carry-forward credits and deficiencies shall be calculated and applied according to the proportion of the volume of primary forest products acquired and reported by the registered buyer in Form D, Part III.

(4) Whether their volume of primary forest products is acquired from an industrial landowner or a private landowner, a registered buyer shall not

(5) A registered buyer may carry forward a non-refundable credit in excess of the required value.
