No. 1304
November 11, 2022
The Reykjavík City Council will charge fees according to a tariff for activities that require a license or supervision by the Reykjavík Public Health Authority—this is in accordance with Act No. 7/1998 on Hygiene and Pollution Prevention, Act No. 93/1995 on Foodstuffs, and any subsequent amendments and regulations.
From regulated activities, the City Council shall charge a fee as follows:
Category 1 | Kr. 42,750 |
Category 2 | Kr. 51,300 |
Category 3 | Kr. 76,950 |
Category 4 | Kr. 85,500 |
Category 5 | Kr. 102,600 |
Category 6 | Kr. 136,800 |
Category 7 | Kr. 171,000 |
Category 8 | Kr. 222,300 |
On-site inspection | Kr. 42,750 |
Hourly rate for service tasks including sampling, kr. 17,100
The classification of regulated activities is outlined in Attachment I of this Tariff.
If the activity is less extensive, the Reykjavík Public Health Authority has the authority to waive up to half of the fee. Similarly, if the supervision required for the activity is more extensive than the fee category states, an additional fee may be charged.
If an activity has been under a contract with an accredited inspection body, has had a certified quality system, or has carried out internal controls on its activities for the past three years and the Reykjavík Public Health Authority considers that the controls go beyond what is required by the Rules, the Authority may reduce the fees under this Article.
If only a some of the many parts of supervision of activities are carried out, the supervisory fee may be reduced accordingly.
For regulated activities, as outlined in Article 2, the City Council shall charge a fee for the granting of a license as follows:
Activities requiring advertising of a license pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation No. 550/2018 on Industrial Emissions and Pollution Prevention Control, as outlined in Article 7 of Act No. 7/1998 on Hygiene and Pollution Prevention, will be kr. 60,000 plus expenses incurred for the advertising, work on the preparation of specific licensing conditions, and the purchase of professional services for the issuance of a license.
For other licenses the fee is kr. 42,750
When renewing a license or when changing ownership, the fee is kr. 34,200 in the case of activities under the second paragraph and kr. 25,650 in the case of activities under the third paragraph. If, in the opinion of the Reykjavík Health Authority, there have been significant changes to operations or premises, then a fee must be paid as if it were a new activity.
For activities where registration is required the fee is 42,750 at the time of registration as well as for significant changes in operations including relocation to new premises. The fee for a change of ownership is kr. 25,650.
The fee for a license for market and street sales is kr. 17,100, but the Reykjavík Public Health Authority is allowed to lower or waive this fee.
The fee for issuing new tobacco sales licenses is kr. 28,800, but the fee for renewal and change of ownership is kr. 16,100.
For the issue of licenses not covered by Article 3, a fee will be charged according to an invoice. The same applies if the cost of issuing a license pursuant to Article 3 is found to be higher than anticipated in the plan of the Reykjavík Public Health Authority.
The license fee is payable upon delivery of the license letter and interest will be calculated 30 days after the date of issuance of the license.
For certificates issued by the Reykjavík Public Health Authority based on available documents or inspections, the fee is kr. 17,100.
The fee for a service project is to be paid according to an invoice.
In cases of activities that are not classified or when increased surveillance is required beyond the regular inspections and sampling outlined in the Reykjavík Public Health Authority's supervisory plan, separate invoices may be issued as if they were service projects.
For the activities listed in the appendix of Act No. 7/1998 on Hygiene and Pollution Prevention, which are supervised by the Reykjavík Public Health Authority in agreement with the Environment Agency of Iceland, fees will be paid in accordance with Article 2.
The City of Reykjavík's Department of Finance is responsible for collecting fees outlined in this tariff, as well as fees for service projects. The Reykjavík Public Health Authority is responsible for collecting fees for certificates, poison requests, and licenses for market and street sales.
The collection of fees will be in compliance with the fourth paragraph of Article 46 of Act No. 7/1998 on Hygiene and Pollution Prevention, including any subsequent amendments.
Fees outlined in this Tariff may also be collected through a levy of execution, in accordance with the fifth paragraph of Article 46 of Act No. 7/1998 on Hygiene and Pollution Prevention, including any subsequent amendments.
The due date for the fees outlined in Article 2 is the date of invoice issuance and the final due date is 30 days later. Late-payment interest will be calculated from the due date unless fees are paid before the final due date.
If more than one activity covered by this tariff is carried out by the same person in one place, only one annual fee may be charged.
The charges collected according to this Tariff will be used for the operation of Reykjavík City’s Department of Environment and Planning.
This Tariff, which was drawn up and approved by the Reykjavík City Council, and is authorized by Article 46 of Act No. 7/1998 on Hygiene and Pollution Prevention, including any subsequent amendments, and Article 25 of Act No. 93/1995 on Foodstuffs, including any subsequent amendments, will go into effect upon publication. At the same time, Tariff No. 1084/2022 for Tariff for Pollution and Health Monitoring in the City of Reykjavík will expire.
The Mayor of Reykjavík, November 11, 2022.
