Levy update headlines

  • The annual levy for 2024/25 is now £265m.
  • We currently expect to pay £363m in compensation to customers during 2024/25.
  • We successfully recovered more than £54m from the estates of failed firms and other relevant third parties during 2023/24.  
  • No retail pool levy is anticipated in 2024/25 as no class is expected to breach its annual levy limit during the year.

Payment on account

All PRA and FCA regulated firms will be sent an annual levy invoice in the summer.

We've already invoiced the largest levy-paying firms £102m in early 2024 as payment on account for the 2024/25 levy. This will be deducted from their annual levy invoice.
