Who does the Royalty Fee apply
to?
The Royalty Fee applies only to companies who clean data on behalf of a third party. The Royalty Fee
applies to all screening activities, regardless of the medium or technology involved. The Fee does not
apply if you are only screening your own data.
How much is the Fee?
£1.28 per 1000 numbers screened. The Licence Fee is in effect an advance Royalty Fee: as a full
licensee paying the full Licence Fee of £2,320 you will only start to pay the Royalty Fee of
£1.28 per 1000 numbers screened once you have screened 1,875,000 numbers.
I use the CTPS file to screen my own lists which I rent to my clients. Do I have to pay the Royalty
Fee on this activity?
No, you do not have to pay the Royalty Fee if you are screening your own lists.
Does the Royalty Fee apply to call centres?
Yes, if you are screening lists for your clients. If your clients are providing you with the lists
that have already been screened against the CTPS file the Royalty Fee is not applicable.
I have a few major clients for whom I undertake a list screening service.
The list screening activity would come to more than the cost of the annual licence for each of my
clients. Do I have to pay the £1.28 per 1000 Royalty Fee?
We do not expect any of our clients to pay more than the annual Licence Fee. In cases such as this
the Royalty Fee will be capped at £2,320 per client.
I clean the same list for my client every 28 days. Is the Royalty Fee
payable each time?
The Royalty Fee is payable on the full list the first time it is cleaned in any one year, thereafter
it is payable on additional records to the list.
My client is a subscriber to CTPS and pays the £2,320 However
they do not clean their lists in-house, they use our computer bureau
services. Do they have to pay the Royalty Fee as well as paying a Licence
Fee?
No, companies operating in this way will not have to pay additional
Royalty Fees.
Which File is the Royalty Fee calculated on, The CTPS file or my client’s file?
The Royalty Fee payment is based on the size of your client’s file.
Should I keep a record of the volumes of data screened?
Yes, reasonable records should be kept as you will be required to make a
declaration on the volume of data screened at the end of each a calendar month.
I already screen data via the TPS file and declare Royalties, do I have to
declare Royalty Fees for CTPS separately?
Yes, the TPS and CTPS are separate services and are charged at separate rates.
The Royalty Fee declarations for these services will need to be recorded
separately in order to maintain accurate records and subsequent billing.
