statutory charges

Statutory charges are fees or costs that are set by law and must be paid for specific services or rights. They are established through legislation, meaning the government or relevant authorities determine the amount or standard. Examples include court filing fees, land registration fees, or licenses. These charges ensure the government can fund certain services or regulatory functions. Since they are legally mandated, they are not negotiable and must be paid to access or benefit from the designated service or legal entitlement.
