Do I need to pay a fee to the ICO? | IPSE
If you take the self-assessment I don't see how it wouldn't apply.
ICO self assessment
I suppose you can simply write their details down on a piece of paper and send letters or hope you get away with it.

I received a similar letter, probably the same letter. I don't even have any current clients in the EU. My accountant had no idea why I'd received it.
I contacted them and told them this and they said it wouldn't apply to MyCo, in that case.
It's apparently a fishing expedition. Note that it says 'may' need to pay. Some people will just pay it, no doubt. It cost me more than £40 of time to be sure I could ignore it, since I was on hold forever. Effectively, it's a scam being run by an official agency.

Data protection fee | ICO
it's got nothing to do with client data, just personal data.
If you handle personal data on behalf of your client, and that handling is not covered by the client own policies, then you may need to pay.
It all depends on the details of what you handle and in what commercial relationship with the client you process it.Last edited by Lance; 27 February 2020, 13:46.

Data Privacy fee
Today I received a letter from the ICO saying I may need to pay £40 as my ltd co handles client data. As a contractor I've never been asked to pay this before. Apparently I could be fined £4,000 if I don't pay.
Anyone else paid for this?
