In terms of section 25 (1) of the Namibia Financial Institutions Supervisory Authority Act, (Act No.3 of 2001), all registered medical aid funds are required to pay levies to NAMFISA.

Kindly, be informed that the levies for the coming levy year (commencing April 01, 2005 to March 31, 2006) will remain unchanged; therefore, every registered fund as defined in section 1 of the Medical Aid Funds Act, (Act No. 23 of 1995) will be required to pay the following annual levies:

(a) Basic levy: N$2,000.00

(b) Additional levy: N$12.00 for each principal member of the registered fund as at the end of the year preceding the levy year.

The levies payable in terms of this notice must be paid to the Namibia Financial Institutions Supervisory Authority (NAMFISA) via a deposit into the bank account of the Authority. The bank particulars are as follows:
