- If you register between 1 January and 30 June the annual fee of £180 + VAT will apply.
- If you register between 1 July and 31 October, you will pay a half-year fee + VAT.
- If you register between 1 November and 31 December you will be required to pay the full annual fee, but in this instance, you will receive your first annual bill after 13/14 months.
