What are the potential charges involved?

GTC Scotland will only issue a Fee Notice if the amount of time or resource required to provide the information is significant.

If the cost to locate, gather and provide this information is less than £100, GTC Scotland will provide its response to the request, including the information, free of charge.

FOISA permits a Public Authority, like GTC Scotland, to issue a fees notice only under certain circumstances.

GTC Scotland must consider issuing a fees notice if:

• The cost is £101 – £600, we will issue you with a fees notice for 10% of total cost.
• The cost of providing the information is in excess of £600 we will issue a Refusal Notice along with detail of the costings and guidance on how you could consider amending the scope of your request so that it falls below the £600 threshold.

GTC Scotland will only provide the information once the fee has been paid in full.
