The Data Protection (Charges and Information) Regulations 2018 provide for fees payable to the Information Commissioner’s Office

See here.

There is also an explanatory memorandum http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2018/480/pdfs/uksiem_20180480_en.pdf.   There are three tiers of charges in this new instrument: Tier 1 (Micro Organisations), £40; Tier 2 (Small and Medium Organisations), £60; and Tier 3 (Large Organisations, £2900). There is a £5 discount applied to each tier for data controllers paying by direct debit.  The Tier 3 level is a substantial increase from the current £500.

Existing data controllers (at the time when these Regulations come into force) are not required to pay a charge or provide information during the period of 12 months since their most recent fee, under the existing scheme, was received by the ICO.
