90: Immigration adviser's levy

You could also call this:

“Rules about fees for licensed immigration advisers”

The government can make rules about a fee that licensed immigration advisers must pay. This fee helps pay for the work of the Immigration Advisers Authority and the Immigration Advisers Complaints and Disciplinary Tribunal. The government can decide how much the fee is or how to work it out.

The fee might be different for different types of licensed advisers. It might also depend on whether the adviser charges people for their advice or not.

The rules about the fee can say when and how advisers need to pay it. They can also say when someone doesn’t have to pay the fee or can pay less.

These rules are called secondary legislation. This means they are made under the power of another law and need to be published in a special way.
