TICO Registration Renewal Fees

TICO's registration renewal fees are in accordance with TICO’s Fee Schedule. A renewal fee is payable for each retail and wholesale registration held. The renewal fees are for a one-year period and are based on reported gross sales in Ontario during the last fiscal year.  

Following a comprehensive funding framework and fee review, on February 1, 2024, TICO announced changes to its fee structure for registrants with year-ends on or after April 1, 2024. 

With the recalibrated renewal fee bands, all registrants pay the same variable rate on the same dollar of Ontario Gross Sales.

New Fee Bands (Ontario Gross Sales) New Renewal Fees
Less than or equal to $10 million Flat rate of $750
Greater than $10 million to $50 million $0.29 per $1,000 in OGS
