The GDC are increasing fees “to remove this ongoing cross subsidy and correctly recover the cost of processing registration applications.”
The new fees will come in to force in January 2023. The GDC said on its website:
“This fee was introduced to avoid these costs being met by those already on the register, in line with our aim of removing, wherever possible, cross subsidy between different groups of dental professionals. Or, put another way, we aim to allocate the costs of regulation, as far as possible, where they fall.
“Since the introduction of the registration application fee three years ago, not only have costs increased but we have also identified costs which have continued to be met by those already on the register. To remove this ongoing cross subsidy and correctly recover the cost of processing registration applications, new fee levels have been set for January 2023 onwards.”
The new fee levels are as follows:
