Chapter 1
Summary
1.1 We are funded by fees and levies from the firms we regulate. Our Work Programme sets
out our annual funding requirement (AFR) and what we will deliver for the coming year. Our AFR for 2026/27 is £788.9m. This is made up of the baseline cost of our ongoing regulatory activities (ORA) and our exceptional projects.
1.2 We are publishing 2026/27 fees and levies to enable us to fund the FCA, Financial
Ombudsman Service (Financial Ombudsman) and certain government departments.
1.3 We are also responding to feedback to our consultation on draft fees and levies
(CP26/11). We received 9 responses from stakeholders and are finalising the rules as they were consulted on, subject to minor changes to the rates.
1.4 We have reduced the total fees payable by applying the £72.4m of financial penalty
revenues we retained from 2025/26. Therefore, the total fees payable by fee-payers in 2026/27 is £716.5m, which is 0.7% higher than last year.
1.5 The final rates differ from the draft rates due to changes in the data we use to calculate
fee and levy rates. We explain this in paragraph 2.16. Who this affects
1.6 Table 1.1 sets out the fee and levy payers likely to be affected by each chapter. It
also applies to firms that pay the levies set out in this PS that we collect on behalf of government departments.

Our consultation
1.8 Our March 2026 fee-rates consultation (CP26/11) set out our proposals for fee and levy
rates for 2026/27. Our key proposals included:

increasing minimum, flat rate and application fees, in line with the increase in our
ORA budget (1%)
continuing staged increases to the minimum fees paid in the consumer credit and
A fee-blocks
2026/27 draft periodic fee-rates
2026/27 Financial Ombudsman draft general levy-rates
2026/27 draft levy rates for the government departments we collect on behalf of
cryptoasset application fees
updated guidance on our preferred method of payment
1.9 Our response to this feedback is summarised in this PS. Where responses asked us for
technical clarification, or were firm-specific, we will contact these respondents directly. Firms with invoice concerns should contact the fees helpline. What we are changing
1.10 We will publish our response to feedback on cryptoasset application fees and the final
rules in our September Handbook Notice.

6
What we will we do next
1.11 Firms can use our online fees calculator to calculate their individual fees based on the
final rates in Appendix 1 of this PS.
1.12 Firms that pay on account are required to pay their fees in 2 instalments. Following
changes we introduced in March 2026 (Handbook Notice 139), the first instalment is due the last working day in March, with the remaining balance due the last working day in August.

Chapter 2
FCA periodic fees
(Final rules in Appendix 1)
2.1 This chapter responds to feedback on our periodic fee proposal in Chapter 3 of CP26/11.
Periodic fees are the annual fees that FCA-authorised or registered firms must pay and include the following:

Minimum fees: Within most fee-blocks, all firms pay a fixed-rate minimum fee.
Variable fees: Larger firms, whose fees metric takes them above a particular
threshold, pay a variable fee on top of their minimum fee. For example, consumer credit firms in fee-block CC.1 and CC.2 will pay a variable fee on top of their minimum fee if they earn a regulated income of above £250,000.
Flat rate fees: We set fixed (or ‘flat’) fees for all firms in some fee-blocks instead of
minimum and variable fees. For example, small payment institutions in fee-block G.4 pay a flat fee, regardless of their size.
2.2 We also confirm the:
final 2026/27 allocation of the annual funding requirement (AFR) across fee-blocks,
alongside the comparison with 2025/26 (Table 2.1)
revised structure of A-block and consumer credit minimum fees (Table 2.2)
data used to calculate final 2026/27 fee-rates, alongside the year-on-year
movement in actual fee-rates between 2025/26 and 2026/27 (Table 2.3)
final schedule of rebates of retained penalties in 2026/27 (Table 2.4)
changes between the draft variable fee-rates in CP26/11 and the final rates
(Appendix 1)
Consultation feedback and our responses
2.3 We received 7 responses to our question on fee-rates. The question was:
Question 1: Do you have any comments on the proposed FCA periodic fee-rates for 2026/27?
2.4 Three firms and 1 trade body supported our proposals. We have summarised the
feedback from the other 3 respondents below.

8
Transparency
2.5 One trade body said we should be more transparent about our spending, noting that
information is fragmented and lacks sufficient detail. It said we should clearly set out our spending in fee consultations. It asked for a clearer breakdown of costs, more visibility of the reasons behind fee-block increases and an explanation of any cross-subsidisation between fee-blocks. Our response We recognise that our business planning and funding process is complex. This reflects the breadth of our regulatory responsibilities and the need to respond to evolving risks and markets. Our costs are set out in our work programme. These are allocated across fee-blocks based on firms’ permissions and activities, providing a fair and objective basis for fee distribution. We keep these allocations under review. Changes in AFR allocations across fee-blocks are driven by movements in the ORA budget and exceptional project costs. Where a fee-block’s AFR increases above the overall ORA uplift, it typically reflects new contributions to, or increased budgets for, exceptional projects. We are committed to operating transparently and making clear how decisions are made and resources are used. To support this, we undertake annual public consultations on all new exceptional projects and explain changes in the AFR allocation and fee-rates on our website. We also publish an online calculator so that firms can calculate their fee. Further, we report to the Treasury on how we have spent our funding and spent our resources to meet our commitment to operate economically, efficiently and effectively. This is laid before Parliament and published in our Annual Report in July. Minimum fees
2.6 One trade body raised concerns about the staged uplift to minimum fees and asked us
to defer it given market conditions, covering the shortfall with our reserves. Our response In 2022, we introduced staged increases to minimum fees for the consumer credit and A fee-blocks. We paused the uplift in 2023 to support smaller firms, before resuming it in 2024. We do not intend to pause our minimum fee uplift, as completing it ensures our minimum fees reflect the baseline cost of regulation. This is the final year of uplifting our minimum fees, after which they will increase in line with our ORA.

Office for Professional Body Anti-money laundering Supervision (OPBAS) fees
2.7 Two professional bodies commented on OPBAS periodic fees.
2.8 One raised concern over OPBAS relying on the largest Professional Body Supervisors
(PBS) for funding. They argued that this structure meant a disproportionate share of the costs fall to the few largest PBS variable fee-payers. They asked if we would review the funding mechanism as we take on responsibility for anti-money laundering (AML) and counter terrorist financing (CTF) supervision.
2.9 The other respondent asked us to provide guidance, as early as possible, on the fees
likely to be payable under the future supervisory framework. Our response The Government has announced it intends for us to assume responsibility for AML and CTF supervision of legal, accountancy, and trust and company services providers. During the transition period, OPBAS will continue to exercise its oversight function supporting an orderly transition of AML and CTF supervisory functions from professional body supervisors (PBSs) to the FCA. At the end of the transition period, OPBAS’s functions will cease. We are considering our fees models for the wind down in funding for OPBAS and for the future regime. We will consult on our approach in due course. Advice guidance boundary review (AGBR) and fee-block A.19
2.10 One trade body asked why we had included fee-block A.19 in our proposals for
recovering AGBR (simplified advice) exceptional project costs. Our response General Insurance is out of scope for this project, so we have removed fee-block A.19 from funding it. AFR allocation above the ORA budget uplift
2.11 One trade body asked why the AFR increase was above the 1% ORA uplift for fee-blocks:

A.18 (home finance providers, advisers and arrangers)
A.19 (general insurance distribution)
A.22 (principal firms, appointed representatives)

10
Our response
The AFR allocated to fee-blocks A.18 and A.19 has increased above ORA (1%) because both fee-blocks are contributing to exceptional projects (cryptoassets, Smarter Regulatory Framework and InvestSmart) that have had increased budgets. This is outlined in our 2026/27 work programme. We reviewed the exceptional project costs allocated to A.22 and revised the AFR allocation down from a 4.4% uplift to a 0.6% uplift as these firms should not have been contributing to certain exceptional projects. AFR allocation across fee-blocks
2.12 In Chapter 2 of CP26/11, we proposed how to distribute recovery of our costs across
fee-blocks. Table 2.1 shows the final allocation of the 2026/27 AFR across fee-blocks.

Final minimum and flat-rate fees
2.13 This section sets out the final A-block and consumer credit minimum fees for 2026/27.
2.14 In Chapter 3 of CP26/11, we proposed to increase minimum and flat-rate fees in line
with our increased ORA costs (1%) and continue the staged increases of A-block and consumer credit minimum fees.
2.15 Table 2.2 sets out the revised staged increases. Any firm authorised to carry out any
of the regulated activities covered by the A fee-blocks will pay the minimum fee in fee-block A.0, except for A.6, which has only 1 fee-payer (the Society of Lloyd’s).
Table 2.2: Revised structure of A-block and consumer credit minimum fees
Fee-block 2026/27 2027/28
A.0 £2,200 Increased in line with ORA CC.1 (limited consumer credit permission) £1,100 CC.2 (full consumer credit permission) £2,200 Final variable fee-rates for 2026/27
2.16 We calculate variable fees by dividing the AFR for each fee-block by the total tariff data
reported by the fee-payers in it. We highlighted in CP26/11 that we calculated the draft fee-rates and levies using estimated fee-payer populations and data, as we did not have tariff data for all fee-payers.
2.17 The differences between the draft fee-rates in CP26/11 and the final rates set out in
Appendix 1 are due to the variations between the estimated and final tariff data. Table
2.3 shows the final figures for firm populations and the tariff data we used to calculate
the final rates.

2.18 The amount we collect under the AFR is reduced by the financial penalty revenues we
retained from 2025/26. The final total of retained financial penalty revenues is £72.4m, compared to our estimate of £72.8m when we consulted in March 2026. The financial penalty scheme is explained on our website. Table 2.4 shows the impact of retained penalties on fee-blocks. We are distributing them in the proportions we consulted on.

compulsory jurisdiction (CJ). The final rates may differ from those we proposed. This reflects differences between the estimated and final tariff data we used to calculate the rates. The final rates are set out in Appendix 1.
4.3 The Financial Ombudsman presented its final budget for 2026/27 to our Oversight
Committee in March 2026. The Oversight Committee, acting under delegated authority from the FCA Board, approved the total cost base of £268.3m. The Financial Ombudsman is funded through annual levies for its CJ and voluntary jurisdiction (VJ), together with case fees. A breakdown of the budget is included in its 2026/27 plans and budget publication.
4.4 The CJ levy for 2026/27 is £86m. It applies to firms that carry on business that is
subject to the CJ and is collected by the FCA. The CJ levy covers most of the Financial Ombudsman’s fixed costs, such as IT infrastructure, office space, central support functions and senior casework management. It does not cover casework itself, which is met through case fees payable by firms and professional representatives (PRs).
4.5 The CJ levy is generally payable by all relevant firms authorised or registered with us,
including those with no cases referred to the Financial Ombudsman. Firms that do not deal with eligible complainants, as defined in DISP 2.7, may claim an exemption from the Financial Ombudsman funding rules by written notification.
4.6 From 1 April 2026, the standard case fee increased to £680. Cases brought by PRs
will incur a charge of £80 where the outcome is in favour of the consumer. Where the outcome is in favour of the firm, the PR will be charged £260 and the firm’s case fee will be reduced to £500.
4.7 We received 5 responses to our questions on the CJ levy.
Question 3: Do you have any comments on the proposed method of calculating the CJ levy tariff rates for firms in each industry block? Question 4: Do you have any comments on our proposals for how the overall CJ levy should be apportioned?

20
4.8 Most respondents agreed with our proposals. One trade body asked why:

the CJ levy increased from £70m in 2025/26 to £86m in 2026/27
the consumer credit I020 industry block tariff has increased so that its overall
contribution is higher than other industry blocks.
4.9 The same trade body argued that an increase was unnecessary as consumer credit
complaints were reducing, due to our motor finance redress scheme and the fees PRs now pay when referring complaints to the Financial Ombudsman. It was also concerned about the increase in case fees and the overall impact of the increased costs on smaller firms. It suggested that the PR sector should pay a bigger share of the consumer credit tariff block, as it represents the customers who refer the complaints to the Financial Ombudsman.
4.10 Another trade body asked if any additional levy for complaints about motor finance
discretionary commission arrangements would be apportioned fairly, without additional charges to the insurance sector. Our response The Financial Ombudsman publicly consults on its budget, which sets out its income requirement for the coming financial year. The FCA Oversight Committee scrutinises the budget on behalf of the FCA Board, which must approve the final budget. For the CJ levy, the general principle is that costs are apportioned based on each industry block’s level of activity. The levy is not intended to cover complaint handling costs, which are funded through case fees. Instead, it ensures the costs associated with the Financial Ombudsman’s overheads are distributed fairly across sectors. We consider it appropriate to apportion the CJ in line with the Financial Ombudsman’s forecasts. In its plan and budget, the Financial Ombudsman set out the reasons behind the increased CJ levy and fee requirements: they reflect the need to maintain financial reserves and cover the costs of the reforms to its service. It expects most complaints this year to be about banking and consumer credit firms. This is down to deferred payment credit becoming a regulated activity, and cost of living pressures leading to more affordability complaints. Our Oversight Committee was satisfied with this rationale. Due to the legal challenges to our motor finance redress scheme, it is not clear how many of its existing motor finance cases the Financial Ombudsman will resolve in the year. However, this does not affect how we apportion the CJ levy for 2026/27, as this is based on the Financial Ombudsman’s forecasts for complaints it may receive in 2026/27. There are also uncertainties around future motor finance case referrals, and the timing of these, but this is more likely to impact referrals in 2027/28.

21
The FCA and Financial Ombudsman will consider this further when there is greater certainty. Smaller firms in the I020 industry block pay only the minimum levy. This increases in line with income above £250,000, reducing the burden on smaller firms to a proportionate level. From 2026/27, firms will also receive a £2,000 case fee discount each financial year, ensuring that those driving complaints to the Financial Ombudsman incur case fee costs while firms which do not drive complaints, benefit from the discount. The Financial Ombudsman’s CJ levy includes a dedicated Claims Management Companies (CMCs) industry block. However, this represents complaints against CMCs that fall within the CJ, not complaints that CMCs refer to the Financial Ombudsman. It would not be appropriate to increase their contribution to cover costs unrelated to complaints about their regulated activities. We note the Financial Ombudsman has recently changed the case fee arrangements for PRs when referring complaints, so firms will not pay the full case fee when complaints referred by PRs are found in the firm’s favour.

Chapter 5
Levies collected on behalf of other government departments (Final rules in Appendix 1)
5.1 In this chapter, we set out the final 2026/27 funding requirements for the levies we
collect on behalf of government departments and give feedback on the responses to
Chapter 6 of CP26/11.
5.2 The levies are:

Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) levies
Devolved Authorities debt advice levies
Illegal money lending (IML) levy
Feedback from consultation and our responses
5.3 We received 5 responses to our question on the levies we collect on behalf of other
government departments. The question was:
Question 5: Do you have any comments on the proposed 2026/27 rates for the levies collected on behalf of government departments?
5.4 Two trade bodies and 2 firms supported our proposals. One trade body noted that
our proposed allocation of the MaPS levies to fee-block A.19 was double that for A.18. They had expected that the A.19 allocation would be lower. Our response We allocate MaPS levies using several factors, including the number of users accessing MaPS guidance channels, historic usage splits, and our methodology for apportioning FCA costs. Under this approach, the higher allocation to A.19 is due, in part, to its larger firm population (c.6,000 more firms than A.18). As the cost is spread across a larger population, a larger allocation does not necessarily mean higher fees. The approach is consistent with the methodology applied in previous years

26
Economic crime levy (ECL)
5.5 As well as the levies we collect through our FSMA powers, we collect the economic
crime levy (ECL) on behalf of the Treasury. Responsibility for collecting the ECL has been given to the FCA, HM Revenue and Customs and the Gambling Commission under
Section 53(1) of the Finance Act 2022.
5.6 The arrangements for all 3 collection agents, including the levy rates and the timing
of payments, are determined by the Economic Crime (Anti-Money Laundering) Levy Regulations 2022 and subsequent orders issued by the Treasury. The levy we collect is restricted to firms we are responsible for supervising under the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLRs). It is based on total UK revenue.
5.7 Since the terms of this levy are determined by legislation and not FCA rules, it did not
form part of the consultation. However, 1 trade body raised concerns about unexpected and significant ECL increases following the November 2025 Autumn Budget. It said they disproportionately affect the insurance sector despite its lower risk profile. It proposed that the operation of the ECL should be reviewed. We have passed this feedback to the Treasury. Final levy rates
5.8 Tables 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 of CP26/11 showed the proposed allocations of the FSMA levies
to fee-blocks. Following consultation, we have not changed the pattern of distribution. However, some of the totals to be recovered have changed, which affects the levy amounts allocated to each fee-block. As we noted in CP26/11, some of the data we consulted on was estimated.
5.9 Tables 5.1 to 5.5 below present the final levy totals and their allocations to each
fee-block. The tables also reference the parts of the FEES manual in Appendix 1 where the levy-rates are set.

Amendments to FEES guidance
6.1 In Chapter 7 of CP26/11, we consulted on updating FEES guidance to clarify that direct
debit is our preferred method of payment. The question was:
Question 6: Do you agree with our proposed changes FEES 2 guidance?
6.2 We received 5 responses, all of which supported our proposal. While not mandatory,
this clarification is intended to encourage greater uptake, as direct debit is a more cost effective and efficient method for administering firms’ fee and levy payments.
