Levy calculations
Levy calculations will consist of the Financial Sector Levy which is made up of the following components:
- FSCA levy
- Statutory Ombud Schemes
- Tribunal levy
- Ombud Council levy
The Special Levy which amounted to 7.5% of the financial sector levy, applied for the previous two years and falls away for 2025.
The Tables below set out the various levies which must be paid by the different categories of FSPs according to the Schedules of the Act as amended.
The deadline for the payment of levies is 30 January 2026.
Proof of payment must be sent via email to FSCA.levies@FSCA.co.za with the subject line stating the FSP number.
Those FSPs that require an exemption from paying levies can submit an application to FSCA.leviesexemption@FSCA.co.za with motivation for the request and supporting documents.
If an FSP does not receive their invoice ahead of the deadline date, we suggest that you contact the FSCA to request that this be re-sent to you. Should the levy not be paid, the licence of the FSP may be withdrawn in terms of section 9 of the FAIS Act.
