Moonstone’s levy calculator enables FSPs to find out quickly how much they will pay to the FSCA, FAIS Ombud, and Tribunal.

Moonstone’s levy calculator enables FSPs to find out quickly how much they will pay to the FSCA, FAIS Ombud, and Tribunal.

Although the percentage will remain the same, supervised firms will pay more to the Tribunal because of the FSCA and PA levy increases.

The Authority seeks a 4% increase in levies to fund its operating expenditure, which will rise by 9%.

The OPFA says it needs to take on more staff to handle the significant increase in the number of complaints.

The proposed amendments will also see increases in the Tribunal levy and the FAIS Ombud’s charge per KI/representative.

Advocate John Simpson publishes his Office’s draft budget for public comment.

The Authority expects to reduce its budget deficit by 28%, driven by a 3.3% revenue uplift and planned cost-cutting measures to streamline operations.

The increase is below the 6% CPI-related increase permitted by the Levies Act.

FSPs will have to budget for an additional R32 per key individual or representative in the 2025/26 financial year.

The Pension Funds Adjudicator is looking to implement a 4.7% increase in its levy, raising the cost to retirement funds by 49c per eligible member.

The Minister of Finance will have to submit the increase to Parliament for approval because it exceeds the Consumer Price Index.

In line with previous financial years, FSPs will be the main contributors to the Authority’s revenue from levies.

The Office can no longer look to the FSCA to make up for any shortfalls in income.

Bridging finance from National Treasury may not be required now that it has certainty of receiving levy and special levy income.

It is markedly higher than the increases over the past three financial years.
