How much does an ICO cost?

Under the Data Protection Act 2018 organisations processing personal information are required to pay a data protection fee unless they are exempt. Perhaps unsurprisingly, more sole traders and organisations have fulfilled their legal requirement to register with the ICO than ever before.
Why do I have to pay a data protection fee?
The most obvious reason to pay the data protection fee is because it’s a legal requirement (assuming you‘re not exempt). Also, the fact GDPR exists at all suggests that data protection is being taken more seriously than it has in the past, and the ICO will be keen to prove it’s doing its job.
