As detailed more below, the Tier 1 annual flat fee would increase from $2,250 to $3,000. This would be a 33% increase over current amounts... Similarly, the Tier 2 annual flat fee would increase from $2,750 to $4,000. This would be about a 45% increase over current amounts, just over the roughly 40% inflation since the amount was last adjusted... Tier 3 registrants, in contrast to the other tiers, would see an increase beyond the adjusted amount of inflation. Both the calculated fee and the baseline for that fee would increase. The baseline would rise from $2,750 to $4,000, and the additional fee multiplier for favorable determinations, proposed to now be over five instead of over ten, would rise from $250 to $1,100 for each."

The government admitted to a 40% inflation figure while simultaneously telling us it has decreased. I hate these people.
