Prudential Regulation Authority Rulebook

FEES applies to all persons required to pay a fee or levy under a provision of the Handbook. The purpose of this chapter is to set out to whom the rules and guidance in FEES apply. FEES 2 (General Provisions) contains general provisions which may apply to any type of fee payer. FEES 3 (Application, Notification and Vetting Fees) covers one-off fees payable on a particular event for example various application fees (including those in relation to authorisation, variation of Part 4A permission, listing and the Basel Capital Accord) and fees relating to certain notifications and document vetting requests. FEES 4 (Periodic fees) covers all periodic fees and transaction reporting fees.

The rules in FEES should be read in conjunction with GEN 2.2.23 R to GEN 2.2.25 G. In relation to FEES, some rules are made by both the FCA and PRA. Those rules may contain obligations for or references to FCA-authorised persons (for example payment service providers and electronic money issuers) notwithstanding that they also are made by the PRA in order to apply them to PRA-authorised persons. GEN 2.2.23 R limits the application of those rules so that the PRA will only apply them in respect of PRA-authorised persons and not to such FCA-authorised persons as are specifically included within the rule.

The purpose of this manual is to set out the fees applying to the persons set out in FEES 1.
