The Authority may, with the Minister's consent, prescribe a relevant financial period for estimating future operational costs and, at the same time, determine the charge payable by different licence‑holders for different gambling licences for that period. In making that determination the Authority must have regard to: the number and type of authorised gambling activities, products or related services; the duration a licence remains in force under section 108; turnover from existing activities or from activities under former licences or permits under the Acts of 1929, 1931 or 1956; turnover from gambling at private members' clubs where the licence‑holder directs or is beneficial owner; estimated turnover where no prior gambling licence existed; and actual or estimated administrative costs incurred by the licence‑holder.

Following consultation with the Minister the Authority may, by regulations, provide whole or partial exemptions from charges for charitable or philanthropic purposes having regard to whether the licence was granted under section 118 or 120 or under section 119 for a once‑off activity, or to the licence‑holder's turnover. The Authority must issue a written notice to each chargeable licence‑holder stating the charge and its basis, the 30‑day payment period, the form and manner of payment, the rate of interest on unpaid amounts after 30 days, and the right and time‑limit to appeal the charge under Part 9.
