Explanatory note
This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations, which come into force on 1 October 2017, amend the Radiocommunications Regulations 2001 (the principal regulations).
These regulations replace Schedule 6 of the principal regulations, which sets out the fees to be paid for different types of radiocommunications licence. New Schedule 6 reorganises the licence fees into 4 categories as opposed to the previous 47 fee categories.
The amendments introduce a new fee for manual payments. The amendments also revoke provisions of the principal regulations that created a discount for online payment.
