# The Companies (Fees) Regulations 1988, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations supersede the Companies (Fees) Regulations 1980 as amended by the Companies (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 1982. They re-enact some of the fees prescribed by those Regulations and increase some of the fees relating to certain matters covered by those Regulations.
1 The fee for inspection of documents kept by the registrar of companies is increased from £1.00 to £2.50. The fee specified for the inspection of documents under section 709(1) includes the fee for the inspection of a register of charges kept by the registrar and a separate fee for such inspection is not specified in the Regulations.
2 The fee for certifying a copy of any document (other than a certificate of incorporation) kept by the registrar of companies is increased from 30p per page (plus, where appropriate, £1.00 for the inspection of any documents by the registrar) to £11.00 per document where the document is not a list of members more than 10 pages long. Where the document is more than 10 pages long and is a list of members, the fee is increased to £11.00 for the first 10 pages plus £1.00 for each additional page. No additional fee is now payable when the registrar has to inspect any documents in order to so certify a copy.
3 The fee for supplying a certificate of incorporation—otherwise than on the incorporation of the company to which it relates—or a certified extract of any document kept by the registrar of companies is increased from £3.50 to £11.00 for the first such certificate or extract supplied on any one occasion and from £2.50 to £8.50 for any subsequent one supplied on the same occasion.
4 In other respects the fees payable to the registrar of companies are unchanged.
