Fees and charges

The UK REACH charges from 1 April 2025 are set out in the tables below.

The fee types have been retained and the charges have been adjusted in law by Defra under His Majesty’s Treasury rules on managing public money (GOV.UK).

For registrations, we will determine the fees once you have submitted your dossier and it has passed our Business Rules Check. If we need more information to help us work out the correct fee for your application, we will contact you.

We will send the invoice and instructions for payment to you using the email address held in your Comply with UK REACH account.

If you need the invoice to be issued using alternative details, email [email protected] as soon as you have made your submission. In your email, quote the relevant substance identity and your UK REACH submission number.

How to determine the company size category

  • The criteria and definitions applying to the categorisation of micro, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the same under UK REACH as for the EU's REACH regime.
  • On the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) website there is a  5-step set of instructions for calculating your company size category (in accordance with Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC).
  • If your company is an SME, you should follow the ECHA instructions up to Step 5. At Step 5, UK REACH, a EURO to Sterling conversion has been applied in respect of the turnover/balance sheet ceiling figures. The conversions are shown in the table below;

Turnover/Balance sheet ceilings for SMEs for UK REACH

Enterprise category Headcount Turnover or Balance sheet total
medium-sized < 250 ≤ £43.650 million ≤ £37.539 million
small < 50 ≤ £8.730 million ≤ £8.730 million
micro < 10 ≤ £1.746 million ≤ £1.746 million
