42 Application fees

(1) An application for the grant, renewal, restoration, variation or replacement of an authority must be accompanied by the fee payable for the purposes of the Act as listed in Column 1 of Schedule 4.

(2) The amount of each fee is to be calculated by adding together the various components set out in Columns 3 and 4 of Schedule 4 in relation to that fee, the total fee being as set out in Column 5 of that Schedule.

(3) An amount specified in relation to an application fee in Column 3 of Schedule 4 under the heading “ Processing component ” is taken to be a fee to cover the costs incurred by the Director-General in processing the application.

Note: This amount is consequently a "processing fee" for the purposes of Part 2 of the Licensing and Registration (Uniform Procedures) Act 2002 . If an application is made by electronic communication, the processing fee is discounted (see section 13 of that Act). If an application is refused, the applicant is not entitled to a refund of the processing fee (see section 22 of that Act).

(4) There is no prescribed fee for an application:
