Fees

As a not-for-profit social enterprise, we need to charge a fee for our assessment and Fair Tax Mark certification services. This allows us to cover our costs and grow the Fair Tax Mark label.

Our fees are largely influenced by business size and complexity. We regularly benchmark our fees against comparable certification schemes and strive to be as moderately priced as possible. Fees are subject to negotiation as required, and are agreed before a Letter of Engagement is issued.

Multinational enterprise

Annual turnoverFees
<£35mn / <€40mn£1,000-£3,000 / €1,200–€3,600
£35.1mn–£100mn / €40.1mn–€120mn£3,000–£5,000 / €3,600–€6,000
£100.1mn–£500mn / €120.1mn–€600mn£5,000–£7,000 / €6,000–€8,400
>£500mn / >€600mn £7,000–£20,000 / €8,400–€24,000

The certification fee is split 50/50 between:

  • Assessment, including suggestions for improvement to secure the Fair Tax Mark
  • Certification, and the issuance of a licence to use the Fair Tax Mark for one year

For example, a business with a turnover of between £35.1mn and £100mn would pay £1,500–£2,500 for assessment and (if successful) a further £1,500–£2,500 for an annual licence to use the Fair Tax Mark.

Businesses based in the UK will be additionally subject to VAT.

Small, medium and large business (operating in a single country)

For example, a business with a turnover of between £100.1mn and £500mn would pay £2,500–£3,500 for assessment and (if successful) a further £2,500–£3,500 for an annual licence to use the Fair Tax Mark.

Businesses based in the UK will be additionally subject to VAT.

Micro-enterprise (less than £0.7mn revenue)

Annual turnoverFees (+VAT)
£700k and below£299

Micro-enterprises (turnover £700k and below) pay a single fee that covers both assessment and certification.

Businesses based in the UK will be additionally subject to VAT.

Please note: the certification of micro-enterprises is currently only available in the UK, but we have plans to extend this globally.
