F2£696 for each small producer other than a producer referred to in paragraph (d) for which the application is made;
F3£2,885 in addition to the charge in paragraph (a), (b) or (d), as appropriate, for each producer which is an online marketplace operator;
The charge for late submission of an application for producer registration made by a scheme operator is F6£386 for each member of the compliance scheme for whom the scheme operator applies for registration late where none of the events described in regulation 28(3) has occurred.
The additional charge for a large producer who wishes to report an amount of closed loop packaging waste under paragraph 12(2) of Schedule 4 in a report to the appropriate agency for a reporting period in the relevant year is £2,548 for each such producer for whom the scheme operator applies for registration.
Where—
a producer is a member of a compliance scheme;
the producer’s registered office or, if it does not have a registered office in the United Kingdom, its head office or principal place of business in the United Kingdom, is in a different nation of the United Kingdom to that of the scheme operator; and
the appropriate agency for that producer has made a charging scheme which makes different provision for the charges listed in sub-paragraphs F8(1), (2) and (2A),
the scheme operator must pay the charges set by the appropriate agency, instead of those specified in sub-paragraphs (1), (2) and (2A), in relation to that producer.
