Funding - Payment of Levies

47.1

This Chapter does not apply to the FSCS.

47.2

A firm must pay its share of a DGS levy in one payment.

47.3

A firm’s share of a DGS levy is due on, and payable within, 30 days of the date when the invoice is issued.

47.4

A firm must pay its share of a DGS levy by either direct debit, credit transfer (e.g. BACS or CHAPS), cheque, Maestro, Visa Debit or by credit card (Visa/Mastercard/American Express only).

47.5

If a firm ceases to be a DGS member part way through a financial year of the deposit guarantee scheme:

  1. (1) it will remain liable for any unpaid levies which the FSCS has already made on the firm; and
  2. (2) the FSCS may make one or more levies upon it (which may be before or after the firm has ceased to be a DGS member but must be before it ceases to be a firm) for the costs which it would have been liable to pay had the FSCS made a levy on all DGS members in the financial year it ceased to be a DGS member.
