Payment of fees

 

3) The payment of a fee referred to in this Schedule by a person to the Financial Services Board may be in cash or by means of a cheque or a money transfer (in which case proof of the transfer must be provided).

 

4) Fees imposed in the past on financial institutions by the Financial Services Board were all inclusive of Value-added Tax (VAT). By virtue of certain national legislative changes the Financial Services Board became no longer liable to register for VAT, reaching thereby the same legal status as other public authorities such as State Departments. As a result fees payable to the Financial Services Board need no longer include any VAT amount.
