Application Fees for Operator Licences

From 1st August 2008 some changes have occurred for application fees and annual fees. Click here to check the new rates.

	Type A	Type B	Type C
	Less than £100k	£100-£500k	More than £500k
Non-remote Operator application fees	£165	£247	£329
	Type F	Type G	Type H
Remote Operator application fees	£165	£247	£329
Discount on remote application fees (assuming these are the smallest of the 2 elements)	£123.75	£185.25	£246.75
	£41.25	£61.75	£82.25

With the application fees you only pay the full amount on the largest (and 100% of an ancillary licence if applicable) and all of the others are discounted by 75%.

So in this example you would pay the full amount on the Type C (over £500k non-remote) application - £329

and then only 25% of the Type F (less than £100k remote) = £165 x 0.25 = £41.25

Giving you a total application fee of £329 + £41.25 = £370.25

and finally add in the PML at £330 – renewable every 5 years, or when the licence holder leaves.

Annual fees

Non - remote	Type A	Type B	Type C
	Less than £100k	£100- £500k	More than £500k
Annual Fees	£348	£692	£1,392
Discount in first year	£87	£173	£348
Fees payable in first year	£261	£519	£1,044

In the first year non-remote Annual Fees are discounted by 25%

Remote	Type F	Type G	Type H
	Less than £100k	£100-£500k	More than £500k
Annual Fees	£2,372	£4,369	£6,366

However when you combine a non-remote lottery with a remote lottery, you are also entitled to a further 10% discount off all but the largest fee due.

For example:

A Non-remote lottery of over £500k proceeds (Type C) combined with a remote lottery producing less than £100k proceeds (Type F)

In first year

£1392 (basic annual non-remote fee over £500k) x 0.25 (25% discount) = £348

£1392 - £348 = £1044

£1044 x 0.1 (additional 10% discount on non-remote element as this is the smallest of the 2 annual fees)) = £104.40

which when added to the original discount of £348 makes up the final discount of £452.40.

So in the first year you will pay

£1392 -£452.40 = £939.60 plus the remote licence for less than £100k of £2372

Giving you a total annual fee of £3,311.60

Then in the first year add to this the operator licence fees for non-remote and remote
