MHS Guide to charges for official controls

Wednesday 4 March 2009

The MHS provides a range of services in approved meat premises across Great Britain. Some of these services are currently paid for by other Government departments, for example, checks on animal by product controls. Other services are charged to food business operators (FBOs).

The charges guide aims to assist FBOs in understanding:

• why charges are made for the services that we provide
• who and what the MHS charges
• what is included in the charges
• how the charges that will be made for service provided by the MHS are calculated
• the ways that FBOs can reduce their charges
• the frequency with which FBOs will be billed for these services
• the methods by which FBOs can pay for charges and when payment is due
• what to do if FBOs are unhappy with their charges

The full guide is available at the link below.
