For the financial year ending with 31st March 2008, there is an increase to the basis of the calculation of the levy in the range of 47% to 49% (column 2 of the Table). The increase to the level of the minimum amount payable is in the range of 45% to 49% (column 3 of the Table). The increases are based on costs incurred in establishing the Board, the Board’s estimate of its administration costs requirement for the financial year ending with 31st March 2008 and changes in scheme membership data (paragraph (7));set out the circumstances of a waiver of the administration levy payable in respect of an eligible scheme.
