Examples
1
In a financial year, a controlled person holds 3 source licences that authorise persons to deal with controlled apparatus or controlled materials that are of a kind mentioned in Group 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 3 and that are in the same location. The annual charge for each licence is calculated using the formula set out above as follows:
Step 1
Identify AC , ie the relevant amount in Part 2 of Schedule 3. This is the amount mentioned in paragraph (c) of item 1 — $6 000.
Step 2
Divide this amount by NL , ie the number of relevant licences held by the controlled person — 3.
The amount of annual charge for the year for each of the 3 licences is therefore $2 000. The total amount of annual charge for the year for the 3 licences is $6 000.
2
In a financial year, a controlled person holds 8 source licences that authorise persons to deal with controlled apparatus or controlled materials that are of a kind mentioned in Group 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 3 and that are in the same location. The annual charge for each licence is calculated using the formula set out above as follows:
Step 1
Identify AC , ie the relevant amount in Part 2 of Schedule 3. This is the amount mentioned in paragraph (b) of item 2 — $4 000.
Step 2
Divide this amount by NL , ie the number of relevant licences held by the controlled person — 8.
The amount of annual charge for the year for each of the 8 licences is therefore $500. The total amount of annual charge for the year for the 8 licences is $4 000.
3
In a financial year, a controlled person holds 25 source licences that authorise persons to deal with controlled apparatus or controlled materials that are of a kind mentioned in Group 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 3 and that are in the same location. The annual charge for each licence is calculated using the formula set out above as follows:
Step 1
Identify AC , ie the relevant amount in Part 2 of Schedule 3. This is the amount mentioned in paragraph (a) of item 3 — $2 500.
Step 2
Divide this amount by NL , ie the number of relevant licences held by the controlled person — 25.
The amount of annual charge for the year for each of the 25 licences is therefore $100. The total amount of annual charge for the year for the 25 licences is $2 500.

Note
Same location is defined in subregulation 40D (3) of the ARPANS Regulations (see the Dictionary to those Regulations).

(3)

If the holder of the licence is a controlled person mentioned in column 2 of an item in Part 3 of Schedule 3, the amount of the charge for the year for all source licences held by that person for the year is the amount mentioned in that item.
