Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations replace in part the Companies (Consolidation of Fees) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 (S.R. 1987 No. 258) which are revoked with savings. The savings take account of regulation 4 of the Companies (Fees) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 (S.R. 1995 No. 312).
The fee of 10 pence per page copied for furnishing a copy of a report under Article 430(3) of the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 (“the Order”) or under that Article as it applies for the purposes of Article 436 of the Order remains unchanged (regulation 3).
The fee in respect of each inspection of records under Article 658 of the Order is increased from £1 to £2 and will be payable for each inspection relating to one company. The fee is not payable in respect of an inspection of the index kept under Article 663 of the Order (regulation 3).
Fees in respect of certain functions of the registrar of companies under the Order are set out in the Companies (Fees) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995.
