2009/10 levy details

2009/10 initial levy announced in April 2009 - £156m

Under the funding arrangements set up by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), five new funding classes were established to replace the previous 12 contribution groups. They are:

  • deposits
  • general insurance
  • life and pensions
  • investments
  • home finance

With the exception of deposits, these five broad classes are divided into sub-classes based on provider/intermediation activities. The levy for each of these sub-classes for 2009/10 is in the table below.
