Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) levies

Depending on the type of business your firm carries out, you may be able to apply for exemption from FSCS and FOS levies and/or you may wish to submit a tailored income figure for these levies. This will mean that your FSCS and FOS levies are based only on the amount of business that you do with customers that are eligible to claim from those schemes.

For further information, please read the guidance notes:
