FEES 4 Annex 11 Periodic fees in respect of payment services, electronic money issuance, regulated covered bonds, CBTL business and data reporting services in relation to the period 1 April 2018 to 31 March 201955321978810
R 02/07/2018
16This Annex sets out the periodic fees in respect of payment services carried on by fee-paying payment service providers under the Payment Services Regulations and electronic money issuance by fee-paying electronic money issuers under the Electronic Money Regulations and issuance of regulated covered bonds by issuers and CBTL business carried on by CBTL firms under the MCD Order and data reporting services providers (other than incoming data reporting services providers) under the DRS Regulations.13 12
1Part 1 - Method for calculating the fee for fee-paying payment service providers3
The periodic fee for fee-paying payment service providers is calculated by identifying the relevant activity group under Part 2 and then3adding the minimum fee to an additional fee calculated by multiplying the tariff base identified in Part 3 of FEES 4 Annex 11 by the appropriate rates applying to each tranche of the tariff base as indicated in the table at Part 5. For small payment institutions and small electronic money institutions 3the tariff rates are not relevant and a flat fee is payable.
A fee-paying payment service provider may apply the relevant tariff bases and rates to non-UK business, as well as to its UK business, if:
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 3 of FEES 4 Annex 11 is disproportionate to the difference in fees payable; and
it notifies the FCA 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.
For a fee-paying payment service provider which is required to comply with FEES 4.4.9 D (Information on which fees are calculated) and has not done so for this period:
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; and10
an additional administrative fee of £250 is payable.10
3Part 1A - Method for calculating the fee for fee-paying electronic money issuers
The periodic fee for fee-paying electronic money issuers is calculated by identifying the relevant activity group under Part 2A and then multiplying the tariff base identified in Part 3 of 1 R by the appropriate rates applying to each tranche of the tariff base as indicated in the table at Part 5. For small electronic money institutions, the tariff rates are not relevant and a flat fee is payable.
A fee-paying electronic money issuer may apply the relevant tariff bases and rates to non-UK business, as well as to its UK business, if:
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 3 of 1 R is disproportionate to the difference in fees payable; and
For a fee-paying electronic money issuer which is required to comply with FEES 4.4 (Information on which fees are calculated) and has not done so for this period:
3Part 1B - Method for calculating the periodic fee where the firm is both a fee-paying payment service provider and a fee-paying electronic money issuer
Add the fee calculated under Part 1 to the fee calculated under Part 1A.
5Part 1C - Method for calculating the fee for an issuer of a regulated covered bond
The issuance of regulated covered bonds by issuers is linked to activity group G.15 in this annex. The periodic fees for issuers of regulated covered bonds is calculated by multiplying the tariff base relevant to G.15 in Part 3 of 1 R by the appropriate rates applying to each tranche of the tariff base as indicated in the table at Part 5.
Part 2 - Activity groups relevant to fee-paying payment service providers3
This table shows how the payment services performed by fee-paying payment service providers are linked to activity groups (fee-blocks). A fee-paying payment service provider can use the table to identify which fee-blocks it falls into based on its authorisation or registration.
Fee payer falls into this activity group if:
G.2 Certain deposit acceptors
it is a fee-paying payment service provider not falling within any of the other fee-blocks in this table
G.3 Large payment institutions and registered account information service providers15

9Part 2B – Activity groups relevant to CBTL firms
This table shows how CBTL business carried on by CBTL firms is linked to activity groups ('fee-blocks'). A CBTL firm can use the table to identify which fee-blocks it falls into based on its registration
Fee payer falls into this activity group if10

Fee payer falls into this group if:
G.25 DRSP
it is a data reporting services provider (other than an incoming data reporting services provider).
This table indicates the tariff base for each fee-block. The tariff base is the means by which the FCA measures the amount of business conducted by fee-paying payment service providers,5 fee-paying electronic money issuers, CBTL firms, data reporting services providers (other than incoming data reporting services providers)13 firms registered under the Money Laundering Regulations14 15 and issuers of regulated covered bonds5.3

This is the sum of the following elements of the firm's UK business:
Gross commissions and fees received
Gross other operating income
calculated in the same manner as the relevant indicator referred to in paragraph 10(3) 15

Part 4 - Valuation period
This table indicates the valuation date for each fee-block. A fee-paying payment service provider,5 a fee-paying electronic money issuer and a regulated covered bond issuer 53can calculate tariff data by applying the tariff bases set out in Part 33 with reference to the valuation dates shown in this table.
In this table, reference to specific dates or months are references to the latest one occurring before the start of the period to which the fee applies e.g. for 2010/11 fees (1 April 2010 to 31 March 2011), a reference to December means December 2009.
Where the tariff data of a fee-paying payment service provider or a fee-paying electronic money issuer3 is in a currency other than sterling, it must be converted into sterling at the exchange rate prevailing on the relevant valuation date.
For banks and building societies as in FEES 4 Annex 1 Part 3.
Relevant income for the financial year ended in the calendar year ending 31 December.
Relevant income for the twelve months ending 31 December.
(1) The last day of the financial quarter during which the issuer became registered as an issuer in the FCA financial year (the 12 months ending 31 March).
(2) For subsequent FCA financial years, 31 December unless (3) applies.
(3) If the issuer became registered as an issuer between 1 January and 31 March inclusive, 31 March in respect of the FCA financial year immediately following the FCA financial year during which it became registered and 31 December in respect of all further FCA financial years.
A reference to a financial quarter in this box means any of the following periods: 1 April to 30 June inclusive, 1 July to 30 September inclusive, 1 October to 31 December inclusive or 1 January to 31 March inclusive.

Where an exchange rate hedging agreement was entered into in connection with the issuance of regulated covered bonds denominated in a currency other than sterling, the applicable exchange rate for those regulated cover bonds is the exchange rate stipulated in the exchange rate hedging agreement.
An exchange rate hedging agreement is any agreement entered into to hedge the market risk relating to fluctuations in exchange rates.
In all other cases, the applicable exchange rate is the daily spot rate available on the Bank of England's Statistical Interactive Database (the Bank of England exchange rate) applying on the valuation date. If the valuation date is not a business day, then the applicable exchange rate is the Bank of England exchange rate applying on the first business day following the valuation date.
Flat fee (£)
Flat fee (£) for first data reporting service plus 50% flat fee for each additional data reporting service for which the data reporting services provider (other than an incoming data reporting services provider) has authorisation.
