Fees

The Authority has published a Fees Order which came into force on 26 October 2015. The Fees Order will apply a registration fee to all designated businesses (except for Specified Non Profit Organisations) and an annual fee to those businesses overseen by the Authority, (also except for Specified Non Profit Organisations).

Where a designated business is overseen by a professional body, the annual fees are payable to that body at the rates set by that body.
