Builders' lift and tower working platforms fees revised
The Government is to revise specific fees charged under the Builders' Lifts and Tower Working Platforms (Safety) (Fees) Regulation.
"This is in line with government policy that fees should in general be set at levels sufficient to recover the full costs of providing the services," a government spokesman said today (Wednesday).
"The fees, which were introduced in July 1995, will go up by nine per cent with effect from December 20 this year to reflect the cost of services at 1996/97 prices. The proposed increase is based on the movement of the Government Consumption Expenditure Deflator from 1995/96 to 1996/97."
Details of the revision are as follows:
