UK Prudential Regulation Authority: Financial Services Compensation Scheme – Management Expenses Levy Limit 2016/17 – CP4/16

Date 18/01/2016

​Background

This Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) consultation paper (CP) sets out the proposed management expenses levy limit (MELL) for the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) for 2016/17. Under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA), the PRA and the FCA must set a limit on the total management expenses to be levied. This allows the FSCS adequate resources to perform its functions efficiently and economically, and provide a responsive and well-understood compensation service for consumers of financial services. The MELL represents the maximum amount of management expenses that the FSCS can levy in order to fulfil the obligations imposed on it by PRA and FCA rules, although it is not necessarily the amount the FSCS will actually levy in the coming year.

The proposed levy limit would apply from 1 April 2016, the start of the FSCS’s financial year, to 31 March 2017.
