<p>The Information Commissioner’s Office (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). The projected funding for the
next 2 years is summarised below. The year 2020/21 is outside of the current Spending
Review, so figures have not yet been confirmed:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><br> <br></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>2018/19
(forecast)*</p></td><td><p>2019/20 (forecast)*</p></td><td><p>2020/21 (forecast)*</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>£4,250k**</p></td><td><p>£4,250k</p></td><td><p>As
this is outside of the current Spending Review period, it is not possible to supply
forecasted funding figures.</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>* These figures
do not include the Investigatory Powers Act funding which is provided directly by
the Home Office.</p><p>**An advance of £1.4m Programme GiA funding was provided in
2017/18, and is offset by a reduction of £1.4m in 2018/19. This has not been reflected
in the figures above.</p>
