FEES 6.7 Payment of levies

A participant firm must pay its share of any levy made by the FSCS:

1. (1)

   in one payment; or

2. (2)

   where the FSCS agrees, quarterly, at the beginning of each quarter, by direct debit agreement.

A participant firm's share of a levy to which FEES 6.7.1 R (1) applies is due on, and payable within 30 days of, the date when the invoice is issued.

If a participant firm does not pay its share of a levy subject to a direct debit agreement as required by FEES 6.7.1 R (2), the entire amount of the levy becomes due and payable to the FSCS, and additional administrative fees are payable at the rate set out in FEES 2.2.1 R.

A participant firm liable to pay its share of the levy under FEES 6.7.1 R must do so using one of the methods set out in FEES 4.2.4 R save that no additional amount or discount is applicable.

If a firm ceases to be a participant firm or carry out activities within one or more sub-classes4 part way through a financial year4 of the compensation scheme:

1. (1)

   it will remain liable for any unpaid levies which the FSCS has already made on the firm; and4

   1
2. (2)

   the FSCS may make one or more levies4 upon it (which may be before or after the firmhas ceased to be a participant firm or carry out activities within one or more sub-classes,4 but must be before it ceases to be an authorised person) for the costs which it would have been liable to pay had the FSCS made a levy on all participant firms or firmscarrying out activities within that sub-class in the financial year it ceased to be a participant firm or carry out activities within that sub-class.4
