Regulated fees and levies: rates proposals 2014/15

Prudential Regulation Authority - Regulated fees and levies: rates for 2014/15 - PS6/14

Background

In April 2014 the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) consulted on the regulatory fees and levies for the fee year 2014/15 to support the PRA’s strategic priorities and business aims. This policy statement sets out:

• the PRA’s Final Annual Funding Requirement (AFR) and Special Project Fees for Solvency II for 2014/15;
• allocation of the AFR to fee blocks and final tariff rates for 2014/15; and
• the refund of the underspend for 2013/14.

The PRA received a number of responses to the consultation, primarily from trade bodies and firms representing the insurance industry, credit unions and building societies. Having carefully considered the feedback the PRA deems that the rules set out in this policy statement are appropriate for the PRA to effectively perform its functions. One amendment has been made to the rules in relation to the refund of the underspend for the prior year.
