For the purpose of FEES 6.5.13 R as it applies with respect to the FSCS's financial year beginning on 1 April 2008:

(1)

references in FEES 6.5.13 R to sub-classes must be read as references to sub-classes to which firms will belong after 31 March 2008; and

(2)

(where FEES TP provides for the tariff base for a sub-class to be calculated by reference to a contribution group prior to that date) FEES 6.5.13 R (1) must be read as also including a requirement for the supply of the necessary information in relation to that contribution group.

2.5.3
