Data protection fee: do you need to pay?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing from the Information Commissioner’s office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator. You may not be aware of the requirement to pay an annual data protection fee.
We understand the impact Covid-19 is having on organisations and we know this is a very challenging time. We are contacting you to make you aware of the support and advice available to you from the Information Commissioner’s Office and to ensure your business is complying with its legal obligations.
The Data Protection (Charges and Information) Regulations 2018 require every business that processes personal information to pay a data protection fee to the ICO, unless they are exempt. Most companies need to pay £40 or £60 a year. If you need to pay – and do not – by law, you could be fined up to £4,000. Our records should that you have not paid this fee to date.
The data protection fee funds all our data protection activities. If you need assistance with your data protection obligations, including any relating to changes brought about by Covid-19, you can check out our small business resources on our website at ico.org.uk/hub. We are here to help.
What you need to do:
For frequently asked questions in your business sector go to ico.org.uk/inf
Check if you need to pay at ico.orguk/fee-checker
If you do not need to pay a fee tell us at ico.org.uk/no-fee
If you need to pay, fill out an application at ico.org.uk/fee
Please respond by 12 November 2021
Registering as a fee payer also shows your customers that you are aware of your data protection obligations. THE CONSERVATIVE LIBERTARIAN PUBLICATIONS LIMITED will also be listed alongside the other companies in the information and communication sector that pay their fee. If you hold customers names, addresses or phone numbers on computer, you are processing personal information and may need to pay. If you use surveillance cameras (like CCTV) for crime prevention, you do need to pay.
There are not many situations where you would be exempt from paying a fee, but you can check at ico.org.uk/fee-checker. If our online fee checker says you do not need to pay, please let use know by filling in the short form at ico.org.uk/no-fee, and we will update our records. There is no need to call us as well as completing the form, but we do have a helpline number in case you need it: 0303 123 1113 ext 1700. If you need to pay, please visit ico.org.uk/fee and click ‘first time payment’, unless you have registered with us before. You must complete the online application before sending your payment. If you have already made this payment, please ignore this letter.
We are expecting to hear from you by 12 November 2021, by which time you need to have either paid, let us know you are exempt or called us to discuss your circumstances.
Please note that some company data ha tobe made publicly available by law. We obtained your company details from data published at gov.uk.
(Signed)
Yours faithfully
Michael Fitzgerald
Director of Digital, IT and Business Services
Information Commissioner’s Office

OliviaGood morning, how can I help?
Shantanu PanigrahiI am the Managing Director of 'The Conservative Libertarian Publications Limited' Companies House Noumber 13489581. The Company has published 13 Books in the past year and these books have been sold through Lulu Publishing. I have this morning received a letter from the ICO alerting me to the possiblitiy that the Company might have to pay a Fee for Data Protection. I have checked the ico.orf.uk/feechecker and we do not use CCTV or use persoanal data. So we do not have to pay any Data Protection Fee, right?
OliviaPlease bear with me whilst I transfer you to a colleague in our Data Protection Fees team who can assist you with this query.

978-1-915132-15-4/ 978-1-915132-16-1 This 'Truth-accommodation’ (Satya-advaita) book is the end of Veda discovered as Vishista-advaita and thereby constitutes the Vedanta as specified by the author from his studies of a personal conception of Reality that shows how to navigate Brahma-Nature by a thorough understanding of the guna-consciousness forces at play in the sattvic, rajasic and tamasic interactions. The middle path is the occupation of the Centre of the sphere of Reality that harmonises, conserves and preserves Creation each moment by a Vishista-advaitist. The person who has attained this advaita state is known as a Vedantin of this philosophy.

OK. So if you do not process personal data apart from accounts and records, then you would not need to pay a fee.
