<p>The ICO is predominantly funded through charges levied on data controllers (the
notification fee, to be replaced with the data protection charge when the Data Protection
(Charges and Information) Regulations 2018 come into force on 25th May 2018). The
Government provides Grant in Aid funding to the ICO in respect of 4 distinct regulatory
obligations: Freedom of Information; eIDAS, the Investigatory Powers Act and Networks
and Information Systems (NIS) (for 2018/19 onwards). The funding for the previous
3 years and the projected funding for the next 2 years are summarised below:</p><p>
