Fee tariff data
What is Fee tariff data?
The figures the FCA uses to work out your annual fees.
Who submits it, how often and when
- Who submits it
- Every firm that pays the general levy on a basis other than a flat fee. UK insurers no longer report it to the FCA. If you file RMAR or MLAR Section J, your fee data also goes in that section.
- Frequency
- Once a year.
- Reporting period
- Data for the year to 31 December.
- Deadline
- By the end of February. In 2027, 28 February is a Sunday and there is no roll-forward, so send it by Friday 26 February 2027. Late data carries a £250 fee
