Teacher Registration (General) Regulations 2012

The fees set out in Schedule 1 are prescribed in respect of the matters specified in that Schedule.

A fee set out in Schedule 1 items 1 to 5B is payable by the applicant.

If a person who applies for registration has paid a fee set out in Schedule 1 item 11 for advice about whether or not the person has particular requirements for registration, then the fee payable for the application is reduced by the amount of the fee paid for the advice provided that the application for registration is made within 2 years of the person receiving the advice.

The annual fee set out in Schedule 1 item 6 —

is payable by 31 March in each year; and

may be paid in advance for some or all of the period of registration.

Despite subregulation (4)(a), an annual fee for a particular year may be paid between 1 April and 30 April in that year if it is accompanied by the late payment processing fee set out in Schedule 1 item 9.

If a person who had paid an annual fee in advance ceases to be registered for the whole of a year in respect of which the annual fee has been paid in advance, the Board is to refund to the person the annual fee for that year.

For the avoidance of doubt, a fee prescribed in respect of registration, including an application for registration, applies also in respect of registration under section 137 of the Act.
