Fixed fees and sliding-scale fees

There is a difference between fixed fees and sliding-scale fees:

With fixed fees you pay the amount that the fee-related matter lists in appendix 1 on § 1 ElektroGBattGGebV, appropriately for the service mentioned there, e.g. for registrationg:

No.	fee related matter	fee in EUR
1.1	Registration according to § 37 paragraph 1 clause 1 or clause 2 ElektroG per each producer, brand and type of equipment or per each authorised representative, represented producer, brand and type of equipment	xxx,xx
2.1	Registration according to § 20 paragraph 1 clause 1 or clause 2 BattG per each producer, brand and type of battery or per each authorised agent, represented producer, brand and type of battery

Sliding-scale fees, as are charged for the assessment application or the revocation of the registration, are calculated by stiftung ear depending on the complexity and extend of the individual case. Therefore, in these cases, stiftung ear cannot communicate the exact fee amount in advance:

No.	fee related matter	fee in EUR
1.3	Certification of the obligation to register according to §§ 6 and 37 paragraph 1 ElektroG per producer and equipment or per authorised representative, represented producer and equipment	xxx,xx up to x.xxx,xx
2.2	Certification of the obligation to register according to §§ 4, 20 paragraph 1 BattG per producer and battery or per authorised agent, represented producer and battery

The legal sales tax must be added to all fees. You can find the appropriate valid fee total at ElektroGBattGGebV (in German) at.
