(b) high-cost short-term credit;

(c) a home credit loan agreement;

(d) a bill of sale loan agreement.

Part 2

This table indicates the tariff base for each fee-block set out in Part 1. The tariff base in this Part is the means by which the FCA measures the amount of business conducted by a firm for the purposes of calculating the DA levy payable to the FCA by that firm.

Activity groupTariff base
A.2 Home finance providers and administratorsThe sterling value of any residential loans to individuals being the sum of gross unsecuritised and securitised balances (applying the definitions of ‘unsecuritised balances’ and ‘securitised balances’ set out in Section A: Balance Sheet of SUP 16 Annex 19BG.)
CC.3 Consumer credit lending

Value of lending in column A of data item CCR003 reported by firms under SUP 16 Annex 38AR, being the sum of data elements entered in rows:

- 1 Debt purchasing;

- 2 Hire purchase/conditional sale agreements;

- 3 Home credit loan agreements;

- 4 Bill of sale loan agreements;

- 5 Pawnbroking;

- 6 High-cost short-term credit;

- 11 Overdrafts;

- 12 Other running-account credit; and

- 8 Other lending.

  1. (1) The tariff base for authorised professional firms that do not submit data item CCR003 under SUP 16 Annex 38AR is the same as set out above and should be reported to the FCA as required by FEES 4.4.1R and FEES 4.4.2R. The valuation date is in accordance with the CC.3 valuation date in Part 3.
  2. (2) Where firms in fee-block CC.3:
    1. (a) are holding, or have held, a deferred payment credit temporary permission; and
    2. (b) are not required to submit CCR003 reporting data in relation to their deferred payment credit activity for the relevant fee year,
  3. the projected value of deferred payment credit lending, submitted as part of their notification of a desire for registration for deferred payment credit temporary permission under article 8 of the Deferred Payment Credit Order, is used in its place. But where firms in fee-block CC.3 are reporting CCR003 reporting data for other activities, the tariff base takes into account both the CCR003 reporting data and the projected value of deferred payment credit lending.

Part 3
