FEES 4 Annex 2 Fee tariff rates, permitted deductions and EEA/Treaty firm modifications for the period from 1 April 2005 to 31 March 2006

Part 1

This table shows the tariff rates applicable to each fee block.

(1)

For each activity group specified in the table below, the fee is the total of the sums payable for each of the tariff bands applicable to the firm's business, calculated as follows:

(a)

the relevant minimum fee; plus

(b)

an additional fee calculated by multiplying the firm's tariff base by the appropriate rates applying to each tranche of the tariff base, as indicated.

(2)

A firm may apply the relevant tariff bases and rates to non-UK business, as well as to its UK business, if:

(a)

it has reasonable grounds for believing that the costs of identifying the firm's UK business separately from its non-UK business in the way described in Part 2 of FEES 4 Annex 1 are disproportionate to the difference in fees payable; and

(b)

it notifies the FSA in writing at the same time as it provides the information concerned under FEES 4.4 (Information on which fees are calculated), or, if earlier, at the time it pays the fees concerned.

(3)

For a firm which has not complied with FEES 4.4.2 R (Information on which fees are calculated) for this period:

(a)

the fee is calculated using (where relevant) the valuation or valuations of business applicable to the previous period, multiplied by the factor of 1.10;

(b)

an additional administrative fee of 250 is payable; and

(c)

the minimum total fee (including the administrative fee in (b)) is 400.
