Fees and costs payable The fees and costs set out in the Schedule are payable in re- spect of the matters set out in that schedule.
Payment of fees and costs The fees in Part 1 (except those that are payable on the hourly basis specified in Part 2)— (a) are payable by the applicant to the FMA; and 4 5 (1) 2 2014/110 Financial Markets Conduct (Fees) Regulations 2014 r 7 (2) 6 (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) 7 (b) must accompany the application.

Multiple application discount The purpose of this regulation is to ensure that a reduced fee applies to applications where there are lower costs for the FMA because the information in the application is being, or has recently been, assessed as part of another licence applica- tion.
This regulation applies if a person applies to be licensed for a market service at the same time as, or within 6 months after the date of, applying to be licensed for another market service (whether under the same or a different market services licence and whether under section 395 or, by way of an application to vary the conditions of a licence, under section 404 of the Act).
The FMA must apply a multiple application discount to the fee payable in respect of each additional market service to which the application or applications relate.

The amount of the multiple application discount may differ ac- cording to the type of market service or combination of market services to which the application or applications relate.
For the purpose of applying the multiple application discount, the FMA is authorised to waive or refund, in respect of any person or class of persons, part of a fee that would otherwise be payable under these regulations.

Fees inclusive of GST The fees prescribed by these regulations are inclusive of goods and services tax.

6 2014/110 Financial Markets Conduct (Fees) Regulations 2014 Explanatory note Explanatory note This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations, which come into force on 1 April 2014, provide for the Financial Markets Authority (the FMA) to charge fees and recover costs in relation to the licensing of market service providers (for which the FMA is responsible) under Part 6 of the Financial Mar- kets Conduct Act 2013 (the Act) and in relation to applications for exemptions from compliance with provisions of the Act or regula- tions made under it.
These fees and costs include— • fees payable on an application for a market services licence, made up of— • • a specified amount (which differs according to the type of market service that the applicant wishes to provide) payable at the time of filing the application; and a fee charged at an hourly rate for work done on the application beyond the number of hours specified in the regulations for that type of application.
However, the FMA may only require an applicant to pay this fee if it has already notified the applicant, in writing, that the fee will or may be payable and given the reasons why the number of hours spent on the application has, or is likely to, exceed the specified number.

And it may only require the applicant to pay for hours (beyond the specified number) of work carried out on assessing the application after that notice was given.
The hourly rates that may be charged are— • $230.00 for work done by a member of the FMA; and $178.25 for work done by an employee of the FMA who is qualified in accountancy, auditing, business, commerce, economics, or law or an employee who the FMA is satisfied has a pro- fessional level of skills, training, or experience in financial markets matters of the kind to which the application relates: • • fees payable on an application to change the conditions of a market services licence, made up of— 7 Explanatory note Financial Markets Conduct (Fees) Regulations 2014 2014/110 • • $115.00, payable at the time of filing the application; and a fee charged at an hourly rate for each hour worked on the application.
The hourly rates that may be charged are the same as set out above.
However, if the application is to change the conditions so that the licence covers 1 or more types of market service in addition to the types it already covers, these fees do not apply and the applicant must pay the same fees as would have been payable had that person applied for a market services licence for each additional type of market service: fees payable on an application for an exemption from compli- ance with provisions of the Act or regulations.
These are the same as the fees for an application to change the conditions of a market services licence: the costs incurred by the FMA in obtaining expert advice or assistance and printing and publishing.

• • The regulations require the FMA to take account of the reduced cost of work to it in considering multiple applications.
When a person applies to be licensed for more than 1 type of market service within a 6-month period (whether under the same or a different market ser- vices licence), the FMA must therefore apply a discount to the fee payable in respect of each additional market service to which the application or applications relate.

For the purpose of applying that discount, the regulations authorise the FMA to waive or refund, in respect of any person or class of persons, part of the fee that would otherwise be payable.
All amounts of fees specified in the regulations are inclusive of goods and services tax.
