Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020 – accredited body fees and discounting proposals: business and regulatory impact assessment

11. Implementation and delivery plan

We intend to lay fee regulations as part of the transition to new Level 1 and Level 2 disclosures. We expect fee regulations, including any change to fee discounting or waiver policy, will take effect on 1 April 2025.

• Post-implementation review

Disclosure fees have been fixed for over 12 years. This is not a desirable position and at latest, we will undertake a full review of fees and fee structures within three years of commencement of new fee regulations. Disclosure Scotland will monitor the changes in 2025-26 and look at whether changes to the fee levels and structure are appropriate in 2026-27.
