Given the impact of coronavirus (Covid-19), FCA has introduced some temporary measures for firms submitting regulatory returns.
- The submission deadlines for the regulatory returns have been extended which are listed below. The extension applies for submissions that are due up to and including 30 June 2020.
- For example, if you have a return due on 22 May 2020 but a 2-month extension has been granted, the submission will need to be completed by Wednesday 22 July 2020. If the extended deadline date happens to fall on a weekend, the submission should be made by the next working business day.
- Returns not included below do not have an extension and firms must submit their data in the usual timeframe.
- For small or medium-size businesses (paying less than £10,000 in fees and levies in 2020/2021) the administrative fee for late returns has been waived until 30 June 2020 (this also applies to any returns not listed below).
- You are still expected to submit your return as soon as possible and should you miss a deadline (in the period up to 30 June), the FCA will send a reminder letter to you.
FCA has said that they over the coming weeks, they will continue to monitor the situation and will keep these changes under review.
