This page includes documents and links to information on fees charged to our regulated firms community. These fees provide us with the resources we need to carry out our statutory functions under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA).
Our fees apply to a structure of "fee-blocks", each of which covers a different sector of the financial services industry. This structure aims to recover the costs we incur of regulating each sector.

Fines
We publish our schemes for dealing with fines we receive in our Consolidated Policy Statement on fees (PS07/7). We do not treat fines we receive as income and we are not allowed to take fines into account when setting our fees. So, as intended by Parliament when it enacted FSMA, we have no financial incentive to levy fines.
Fines received by us in one financial year are given back to the industry in the following year, as deductions from their periodic fees.
