13th February 1995

This Order makes provision as to the fees to be payable to the Gaming Board for Great Britain by societies under Schedule 1A to the Lotteries and Amusements Act 1976 and by local authorities under Schedule 2 to that Act. The level at which such fees were set previously by the Lotteries (Gaming Board Fees) Order 1993 (S.I. 1993/3224) ( "the 1993 Order"), revoked by this Order, is indicated in brackets after each relevant figure below.

A society or local authority wishing to promote a lottery is required to pay a fee of £550 (previously £510) to register itself or a scheme with the Board. The nominal £20 fee, payable under the 1993 Order by societies already registered with the Board immediately before the commencement of section 48 of the National Lottery etc. Act 1993 (c. 39), is abolished.

A fee of £55 (previously £50) is payable every 3 years in respect of continued registration with the Board.

The following sliding scale of fees applies for each society's lottery promoted on behalf of a society while it is registered with the Gaming Board and for each lottery promoted under a local authority scheme registered with the Board:

Turnover	Fee
(total value of tickets or chances sold)
exceeds £2,000 but does not exceed £10,000	£65 (previously £60)
exceeds £10,000 but does not exceed £20,000	£110 (previously £105)
exceeds £20,000 but does not exceed £50,000	£135 (previously £125)
exceeds £50,000 but does not exceed £200,000	£275 (previously £255)
exceeds £200,000	£495 (previously £460)

No fee is payable in respect of the eighth and any subsequent lottery promoted by a society in a calendar year provided that the turnover of the lottery in question does not exceed £20,000 (previously £10,000). A new fee exemption applies to lotteries with a turnover £2,000 or less.

The Order leaves the fee payable by members of the public inspecting returns made in respect of societies' and local lotteries unchanged at £2 and increases the fee payable under the Act on an application for certification as a lottery manager from £2,000 to £2,150.
