Standard Fees

2.      Subject to the provisions of this Schedule, fees shall be payable to the Board as follows: -

(a)upon making an application for the grant of a licence the applicant shall pay the fee specified in the second column of the Table opposite the description of the licence applied for;

(b)for the grant of a licence, the applicant shall pay, on the first day on which the licence authorises a flight, the fee specified in the third column of the Table opposite the description of the licence granted:

Provided that no fee for the grant of a licence shall be payable in respect of a licence which has been revoked and the revocation whereof has become effective before the first day on which the licence authorises a flight;

(c)upon making an application for variation of a licence (whether or not in respect of more than one particular) the applicant shall pay the fee specified in the second column of the Table opposite the description of the licence as it would be if the application were granted;

(d)for the variation of a licence (whether or not in more than one particular) the applicant shall pay on the day on which the variation in one or more particular comes into force, the fee specified in the third column of the Table opposite the description of the licence as varied;

(e)upon making an application for the revocation or suspension of a licence of which he is not the holder the applicant shall pay the fee specified in the second column of the Table opposite the description of the licence, taking into account any variations which may have been made, and if his application is granted he shall thereupon pay the fee specified in the third column of the Table opposite that description;

(f)the holder of a licence shall pay in respect thereof the annual fee specified in the fourth column of the Table opposite the description of the licence, taking into account any variations which may have been made; payment shall first become due upon the expiration of the period of one year after the first day on which the licence authorises a flight and each subsequent payment shall become due at intervals of one year after that date, but in the case of a licence granted in pursuance of an Order made under section 2(6) of the Act, payment shall become due on 30th March each year; each payment of an annual fee shall relate to the year following the day on which it becomes due, and, if the fee exceeds ten pounds, may be reduced by the Board by one-twelfth for every month by which the unexpired portion of the term of the licence is less than one year;

(g)    if a licence is suspended, the annual fee shall not become due so long as the suspension continues, but upon the ending of the suspension the holder of the licence shall pay that fee, which may be reduced by the Board by one-twelfth for every month of suspension during the year to which the fee relates;

(h)in determining for the purposes of this paragraph the first day on which a licence authorises a flight no regard shall be had to any provision of the licence which renders it invalid by reason of failure to pay a fee.

Variation of licences: Special provisions

3.-(1) The Board may reduce by such amount as they think fit the fee in respect of an application by the holder of a licence for its variation, and for the variation of the licence, if, in their opinion, it is proper to do so by reason of the disproportion between the amount of the fee and the benefit sought by the application or conferred by the variation, as the case may be.

(2)    In a case where a licence is varied with effect in the course of a year to which an annual fee relates, the amount of the annual fee shall be adjusted proportionately so as to take account of any resulting variation in the description of the licence; and any additional annual fee shall be paid by the holder of the licence, or any refund of the annual fee shall be made to him (whichever shall be appropriate), on the date on which the variation in the description of the licence comes into force.

(3)    If the Board are of the opinion that an application for variation of a licence is in substance an application for a licence for a new service, they may, on varying the licence, direct that for the purpose of the annual fee, the licence is to be treated as if it were several licences of such number and description as they may specify in the direction and that payment of the annual fees shall become due on such dates as they may so specify.

(4)    Subject to sub-paragraph (1) hereof, where an application for variation of a licence relates solely to a provision as to the tariff to be charged the fee to be paid for that application shall be £2 0s. 0d. and, if no hearing has been held by the Board in connection with that application, no fee shall be payable for the variation.

Refund of Fees

4.-(1) Where an application for a licence or the variation, revocation or suspension thereof is withdrawn before a notice of a hearing in connection with such application has been published by the Board in their official record the Board may refund such part of the application fee as they think proper in the circumstances of the case.

(2)    Where the Board are obliged by section 2(3) of the Act to refuse an application for the grant or variation of a licence they shall refund the whole of the application fee.

(3)    Where a licence has been revoked or suspended in the year next following payment of the fee for the grant of the licence or the year next following payment of the full amount of the annual fee, as the case may be, the Board may refund such part of the fee paid as they think fit in the circumstances of the case.
