The Industrial and Provident Societies (Amendment of Fees) Regulations 1994
These Regulations supersede the Industrial and Provident Societies (Amendment of Fees) Regulations 1993. They generally increase by about 3% the fees to be paid for matters transacted under the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts 1965 and 1967. Fees for searches and copies have increased by 12.5% and 20% respectively but in these cases the fee has not been increased since April 1992. Fees for the registration of a special resolution for amalgamation or transfer of engagements and for the registration of an instrument of dissolution are simplified by the introduction of a flat-rate fee, towards the lower end of the former scales. An exemption from charge is also introduced where documents registered in one of the two registration areas (England, Wales and the Channel Islands or Scotland) are recorded in the other.
