Environment agency fees

EA Direct registrant
Full producer = £776
Small producer = £562

Compliance Scheme route
Full producer = £564
Small producer = £345

There are also EA fees for subsidiaries of £180 each for first four registered and then £90 each for 5th to 20th registered.

The Agencies charge a fee for late registrations (after 7th April each year) and for re-submissions that are needed when producers have to recalculate data during a compliance year as their data was not considered to be as accurate as reasonably possible.

In addition to the EA registration fees, for producers seeking to register via a compliance scheme, they will have to pay their chosen scheme an annual membership fee. Each compliance scheme has its own varying annual membership fees which can vary quite widely.

Producers also have to finance the cost of PRNs needed to meet their obligation. PRNs charged from one scheme to another can also vary widely and therefore it is important to undertake a cost comparison on PRNs between schemes from one compliance period to the next.
