SFC Waives Annual Licensing Fee

On 19 March 2021, the Securities and Futures Commission (the “SFC”) has issued a circular to intermediaries, responsible officers and licensed representatives regarding the wavier of annual licensing fees. 

The SFC will waive the annual licensing fees of all intermediaries and licensed individuals incurred during the period from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022.

The SFC will not issue the usual demands for payment for annual licensing fees which would ordinarily become payable during this one-year period. Payments of all other fees, including for licence applications and transfers, will not be affected.  

For more information, please refer to the SFC Circular.
