The Child Maintenance Service rather than the CSA now handles all new applications. There is a one off application fee of £20. The CMS then calculate payments and parents can opt to use the Direct Pay Service so the non resident parent pays the recipient directly. If the payments aren't made there is a Collect & Pay service. Only when the CMS collect payments and pass them on to the recipient the paying parent pays an extra 20% fee and the recipient pays a 4% fee of the amount they receive.
