FMA levies changed from 1 July 2021

The FMA levy for filing financial statements on some of our small registers increased from 1 July, and this affects the total fee you’ll need to pay when you file with us.

The total fee rose from $235.00 (plus GST) to $240.22 (plus GST).

Registers affected:

• Building societies
• Credit unions
• Friendly societies

The change is part of the government’s plan to increase the FMA’s budget to help it fulfil its responsibilities as the financial markets regulator. Levies will increase progressively over a 3-year period between 2020 and 2022. This year’s increase was the second round of FMA levy changes.

Further information about the levy changes can be found on the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) website.
