Agents no longer need to pay an application charge to HMRC when applying to register their premises for AML supervision. The premises registration fee has been raised to £300 for each of the premises registered.

Agents will still also need to pay a ‘fit and proper test’ fee, and an approval process fee for each person tested.

Full guidance on the fee changes and the process required to register business premises for AML supervision is available on the gov.uk website

Estate agents are required by law to register for AML supervision and renew the registration annually. From 10 January, this requirement will also be made of lettings agents meeting certain financial criteria.
