Parliamentary accountability and audit report
Fees and charges
In accordance with Managing Public Money, entities should provide an analysis of fees and charges income where material.
The Gambling Commission aims to ensure that the costs incurred in delivering the organisation’s strategic objectives are recovered from the industry through application and licence fees set by the Secretary of State. We periodically review our costs to drive efficiency and value for money as well as review our approach to cost recovery via fees to see how it could be made more equitable.
Current application and licence fees range from £235 to £907,832 dependent on gambling operator size and licence type. The Commission’s total income from fees and other sources was £26.09 million for the year (2021 to 2022, £20.18 million). Further analysis of fees and charges is provided in the Performance Analysis section of this report.
