Details

Due to the complexity involved for fees specific to Northern Ireland, you can use the fees calculator to help you work out what the fee will be for a new marketing authorisation or variation. However, not all selections available within the calculator are valid. For example, UK can no longer be a lead assessment authority (RMS).

Fees are charged as set out in Schedule 7 of the Veterinary Medicines Regulations. A breakdown of fees relating to veterinary medicines (to include parallel submission administrative reductions) is available on Fees applied to animal medicine authorisation applications.

The fees calculator is a tool to help you work out how much your application for a new Marketing Authorisation (MA) or a variation to an existing MA is likely to cost.

From 28th Jan 2022

The terms used for variations are changing on 28 January 2022. The fees’ calculator hasn’t been updated yet to reflect these new terms, so we have included some guidance below.

We also strongly encourage you to read the revised variation guidance before submitting a variation application.

• A Type IA variation is now known as a Variation Not Requiring Assessment (VNRA)
• A Type IB variation is now known as a Variation Requiring Assessment (VRA) – reduced
• A Type II variation is now known as a Variation Requiring Assessment (VRA) – standard / extended
• You cannot include a VNRA (Type IA) in a national or European grouped variation
• The workshare and grouped VNRA (Type IA) options are no longer applicable for national applications

For advice on use of the fees’ calculator, please email s.response@vmd.gov.uk.
