Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These regulations supersede the Industrial and Provident Societies (Amendment of Fees) Regulations 1996. They generally increase, by an average of 3%, the fees to be paid for matters to be transacted under the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts 1965 and 1967.
In order to clarify the fees currently charged for the replacement by a society of one set of model rules for another, the description of the relevant fees for such transactions has been reworded to provide for separate fees where the new model is used unamended and for cases where further amendments to the new model are made.
A review of the cost of compliance with these Regulations has been undertaken and the resulting compliance cost assessment may be purchased from the Registry of Friendly Societies, Victory House, 30—34 Kingsway, London WC2B 6ES.
