Reminder - Lodgement Credit Charges
As reported previously, MHCLG have been working out what their ongoing costs for the new register are with the intention of changing their fee with effect from 5 April, give or take a day. It is expected that this will be a large reduction.
I will be able to confirm the details when I write next month, but I am telling you now so that you don’t buy more credits than you reasonably expect to use between now and April. With the convenience of buying online, it should not be too onerous to do this.
This is my last opportunity to remind you of this. When I write next month it will be to tell you what the new fee is.
Kind regards,
Professor Andrew Geens
