Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations supersede the Industrial and Provident Societies (Amendment of Fees) Regulations 1987. They generally increase by about 6% the fees to be paid for matters to be transacted and for the inspection of documents under the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts 1965 and 1967.

However the fees for registration of a notice of change in the situation of the registered office, a special resolution in respect of an amalgamation or transfer of engagements, and of an instrument of dissolution or alteration therein have been increased so as to align them with the fees applicable to friendly societies.
