Changes to 2017-18 boat licence fees From 1st April 2017 both private and business boat licence fees will rise by 2.5%, CRT has announced. Having capped licence fees to inflation for the past three years, the 2017 increase anticipates next year’s prevailing inflation rate which is widely forecast to rise between now and next summer. A CRT press release stated: “The rise in licence fees will raise income to ensure that we can continue to sustain the increased spend on maintenance over recent years. This has seen an improvement in the structural condition of the waterways and a significant reduction in the amount of disruption experienced by boaters.”
