Temporary permissions regime (TPR) fees
Firms in the TPR will need to pay fees from the 2021/22 fee-year. We will consult on the actual fee rates in our annual fees and levy rates consultation paper, scheduled to be published in April 2021. Find out more.
How to pay the application fee
Use a credit or debit card when you apply via our online system Connect. You won’t actually be able to submit an application without paying the fee.
It's important to note that whether your application is successful or not, the application fee is non-refundable.
Annual fee
The authorisation application fee is a one-off fee. If your application is successful, you’ll also have to pay us an annual fee each year. We’ll contact you about this. In your first year, you will pay only a proportion of the fee (based on the number of months remaining in the fee-year).
We are entirely funded by the firms we regulate and aim to cover our costs as fairly and efficiently as possible.
