Paying the application fee

An Issuer or its advisers should pay the application fee when it applies for listing, in line with LR 3.2.2 (4). By special arrangement, the latest we can receive this fee is 9a.m. on the day of the Listing Hearing. If the fee is received after this time, the hearing will be postponed and rescheduled so as to take place at the earliest possible opportunity.

Where possible we try to be as accommodating as possible. If you pay by cheque, and cannot physically get it to us before 9am on the day of the hearing, we will accept a faxed copy of a fully competed cheque as proof that payment will be made. Similarly, with the BACS/SWIFT payment method, if a payment has not cleared by 9am on the day of the hearing, we will accept a completed payment form. However, we process each application on a case-by-case basis and exercise discretion in each instance.

Other fees

Paying vetting fees

Document vetting fees should be paid when you submit the first draft of the document to us. Once the document is submitted, you will be assigned a case 'reader'. Payment by cheque, or confirmation of electronic payment should be sent to the UKLA. In the case of electronic payments a payment form must be completed. For information on vetting fees, please refer to FEES 3 Annex 5R. These fees relate to approval or vetting of the documents in relation to specific events or transactions that an issuer, offeror or person requesting admission might be involved in during the year and fall due when documentation is first submitted to us.

Annual fees

Annual fees are invoiced by our revenue department.
