You need to pay £52
Based on your answers, you're required to pay the data protection fee. You're in tier one, which means your fee will be £52.
How to pay
Use our online registration service to pay your data protection fee. You can pay by:
- direct debit (those who set up a direct debit will get a £5 discount)
- credit or debit card;
- cheque; or
- BACS.
It takes about 15 minutes to go through the process and needs to be completed in one session, so we suggest you get everything you need before you start. You will need:
- your credit or debit card details (if paying by card);
- organisation name and address; and
- details about the number of staff you have and your turnover.
On Monday 17 February the cost of the data protection fee increased following a government consultation on proposed changes. Further information including the new rates can be found at Changes to the data protection fee.
