GENDER RECOGNITION

Section 7(2) of the Gender Recognition Act 2004 (c.7) (“the Act”) provides that fees are payable for certain applications to a Gender Recognition Panel under the Act. The Gender Recognition (Application Fees) Order 2006 (S.I. 2006/758 as amended by S.I. 2007/839) (“the Fees Order”) prescribes the level of those fees and the circumstances in which no fee is payable. Two levels of fee are prescribed, depending on the income of the applicant. This Order, which comes into force on 6th April 2008 in relation to applications made on or after that date, amends the Fees Order to increase those income thresholds. It raises the income above which a fee of £30 becomes payable from £16,017 to £16,642, and raises the income above which a fee of £140 becomes payable from £24,019 to £24,956.
