Transition Period 2025
Under the NOOGH (the legislation prior to enactment of the LOK) there was only one single type of fee of ANG 120,000 for any issued license; which was charged by way of an initial fee, followed by monthly fees.
Under the LOK both B2C and B2B fees exist. To this end transition fees will apply to holders of licenses issued under the NOOGH.
- No further invoices under NOOGH will be issued.
- No further monthly invoices will be issued.
IRRESPECTIVE OF THE ABOVE POINTS 1 AND 2, ANY LICENSE HOLDER (B2C, B2B2C and B2B) WITH OUTSTANDING INVOICES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN ISSUED MUST BE PAID IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE INVOICE IN ORDER FOR CONTINUITY OF LICENSE HOLDERS OPERATIONS.
NOOGH B2C License Holders – Green Seal
For avoidance of doubt regarding this transition period a B2C license holder under NOOGH includes both B2C and B2B2C.
To facilitate the transition license holders at the point of LOK enactment (i.e. Green Seal holders) will be issued with four individual invoices over the course of 2025.
| Annual License fee to Curacao Government | Jan – Jun: EUR 12,245 (Invoiced Feb 2025) |
| (National Treasury) | July – Dec: EUR 12,245 (Invoiced June 2025) |
| Annual Supervisory fee to CGA | Jan – Jun: EUR 11,480 (Invoiced Feb 2025) |
| July – Dec: EUR 11,480 (Invoiced June 2025) | |
Each invoice must be paid in accordance with the terms of that invoice. For clarity, the separation of invoices in this manner (Payable for periods of 6 months) is for 2025 only in order to accommodate the transition period of LOK provisional licenses – which allows a period of 6 months to reach compliance with the LOK (followed by an additional 6 months as required and if permitted by the CGA). In July provisional license holders who are non-compliant and are not granted the further 6-month period to become complaint will not be issued with the second invoice and their license will be revoked.
NOOGH B2C Approved (No Green Seal yet)
An approved license holder is only formally granted the license and issued with the Green Seal on payment of their initial invoice. If the CGA approved a B2C operator in 2024 but their initial invoice was not paid prior to December 24TH the following applies.
- The license holder must pay the outstanding invoice (if they have not already)
- The amount paid for that invoice will be credited against the first 2025 invoice to the National Treasury (i.e. The annual LOK license fee is EUR 24,490).
- This operator will subsequently receive an invoice during 2025 for the amount outstanding to complete the whole amount of the LOK license fee. (the remaining balance of the License Fee to the National Treasury)
- The operator will receive the invoices of the Supervisory Fee to the CGA. (i.e. The annual supervisory fee is EUR 22,960)
B2B License Holders
No further invoices will be issued under NOOGH fees in 2025. However, any invoices that have already been issued in 2024 with payment outstanding by should be paid by the license holder.
B2B license holders
Annual Supervisory fee to CGA
Jan – Jun: EUR 11,480 (Invoiced Feb 2025)
July – Dec: EUR 11,480 (Invoiced June 2025)
Each invoice must be paid in accordance with the terms of that invoice. For clarity, the separation of invoices in this manner (Payable for periods of 6 months) is for 2025 only in order to accommodate the transition period of LOK provisional licenses – which allows a period of 6 months to reach compliance with the LOK (followed by an additional 6 months as required and if permitted by the CGA). In July provisional licensed holders who are non-compliant and are not granted the further 6-month period to become complaint will not be issued with the second invoice and their license will be revoked.
Please note, the CGA is aware that due to fee reduction for B2B license holders under the LOK that some license holders will have overpaid during 2024. The CGA will inform the operator on a case-by-case basis about how the CGA and/ or the National Treasury will handle any overpayment done in 2024, by crediting future invoices.
Changing license type
Existing license holders who wish to change their license type (from B2C or B2B2C to a B2B) will be required to follow an administrative process once the CGA portal re-opens in mid-March. Further information on the administrative process and fees will be announced shortly.
Invoicing Process
The CGA will email the invoice to the email address provided by the local director and will also send a ticket in the online portal announcing that an invoice has been issued.
Notice
- Please note that in the event of any discrepancies between this announcement and the LOK, the LOK will always take precedence.
- The amounts mentioned in this document may be modified by national decree containing general measures.
