Indemnity fees are charged to cover all un-licensed copying taking place from the start of the PMCA licence scheme on 1 January 2003 and before a current licence application is received. The indemnity licence fee is calculated either using the information provided in the current licence application form or by completing an annual licence application form for each of previous years from when the scheme started.
