    I found this extract on the Office of Fair Trading web site. I hope it helps.

    Interest and discounts on levies 

    An unpaid levy attracts interest at the rate of 10% simple interest a year if not paid within one month of the due date. The owners corporation cannot increase or decrease the interest, but it can make a special resolution to charge no interest. Unpaid levies, including interest, can be recovered by the owners corporation as a debt in court.

    An owners corporation may make a special resolution to give a 10% discount where a levy is paid before the day it is due. Payment made on the day it is due does not attract the discount.
