1. Introduction |
The Authority derives its fees from levies that are variable in nature, and others that are of a fixed nature; as further explained in paragraph 2 hereunder. |
2. Annual Registration/Renewal of Registration Fees Payable by Public Interest Entities |
2.1 The Authority shall collect levies from Public Interest Entities which prepare financial statements which the Authority is required to review on a cyclical basis. These entities are listed at section 22 of the Act and at regulation 4(1). The levy will cater for the annual registration/renewal of registration fee. |
2.2 The levy comprises of a minimum of P15 000 and additional amounts above a certain size. A declining rate per Pula (pre-determined by the Authority) is applied to five (5) bands of the size criteria in order to arrive at the additional amounts. The rate per Pula (pre-determined by the Authority) and the applicable size bands are as follows: |
Band 1: relates to the minimum levy of P15 000 to be paid by all eligible P.l.Es; |
Band 2: comprises a levy of P9 (Nine Pula) per P1 million for every P500 million of the applicable criteria; |
Band 3: A rate of P7 (Seven Pula) per P1 million on the next incremental P 1 000 million of the applicable size; |
Band 4: A rate of P5 (Five Pula) per P1 million on the next incremental P 1 000 million of the applicable size; and |
Band 5: A rate of P2 (Two Pula) per P1 million on the balance of the applicable size. |
2.3 The size criteria to be used for calculating levies for each type of eligible public interest entity, along with references to examples of how the levy is calculated for each category of public interest entity, are provided in the Table 1 below: |

2.4 The levies in the above table shall be payable annually and are the equivalent of an annual subscription or renewal of registration fee, even though the fees may vary from year to year, depending on the size of the entity from year to year. |
2.5 Groups of Entities |
2.5.1 In calculating the levy payable by eligible Public Interest Entities within a group, the levy shall be calculated on the whole group based on the Criteria for Calculation of Levy provided at Table 1 above. This has the effect of reducing the levy that would otherwise be paid by individual subsidiaries within a group. |
2.5.2 It is presumed that in the case of a listed group of entities, the assumption that the market capitalisation of the quoted entity in the group represents the total market capitalisation of the whole group holds true. |
