PART 3Application of Part 6 of this Act: fees

Application of section 84: transitional charging year

19(1)If a person who is the provider of a relevant regulated service is not an exempt provider, section 84 and Schedule 10 apply in relation to the provider in respect of a transitional charging year.

(2)But sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) apply in relation to the provider in respect of a transitional charging year if the provider’s notification under section 83 in relation to that charging year has included details of amounts wholly referable to a relevant Part 4B service (as mentioned in paragraph 17(3)).

(3)For the purposes of the computation of the provider’s fee under section 84 in respect of the transitional charging year, references in that section to the provider’s qualifying worldwide revenue are to be taken to be references to the provider’s non-Part 4B qualifying worldwide revenue.

(4)OFCOM may not require the provider to pay a fee under section 84 in respect of the transitional charging year if the provider’s non-Part 4B qualifying worldwide revenue for the qualifying period that relates to that charging year is less than the threshold figure that has effect for that charging year.

(5)The amount of a provider’s “non-Part 4B qualifying worldwide revenue” is the amount that would be the provider’s qualifying worldwide revenue (see section 85) if all amounts wholly referable to a relevant Part 4B service were left out of account.
