Hola,

al parecer han hecho cambios relativos a la Tasa Premium, aún no me he puesto a traducirlo, os dejo como avance el correo que me han mandado:

Dear xxxxx,


Following a period of review and customer consultation, we will be making some changes to the Premium Charge that will come into effect 12th October 2009. The changes are designed to simplify the charge and have been devised specifically to address the most consistent topics of concern expressed by customers during the review. We anticipate that the changes will reduce the number of customers affected by the charge and also the total amount of Premium Charges collected each week.
The changes are as follows:

  1. Extend the rolling ‘60 week’ calculation to a ‘lifetime’ calculation

Currently the charge calculation primarily considers each customer’s gross profits and total charges paid over the previous 60 week period. Any customer in profit over the previous 60 weeks, with total charges generated during that period less than 20% of gross profits, will be considered eligible to incur Premium Charges.
From 12th October the 60 week calculation will be extended to include all activity during the lifetime of each account. For the purposes of introducing the amend, we will assume that all customers had generated total charges equal to at least 20% of lifetime gross profits as of 22nd September 2008 (the date the Premium Charge was introduced) and that all charges generated since that date will count towards offsetting potential future Premium Charges. The £1,000 allowance against the charge, the 250 market threshold and the exclusion of any single win that constitutes more than 50% of gross profits will also apply to the lifetime of each account.

  1. Amend the ‘total charges generated’ calculation

‘Total charges generated’ is currently defined as the sum of all commission generated plus any Transaction Charges, Data Request Charges and Premium Charges paid by each customer. If ‘total charges generated’ exceed 20% of gross profits won then customers are exempt from paying Premium Charges.
From the 12th October 2009, Transaction and Data Request Charges paid after that date will not be included within the ‘total charges’ calculation. However, all Transaction and Data Request Charges paid up to and including 11th October 2009 will be included within the lifetime ‘total charges’ offset.

  1. Simplify the ‘Implied Commission’ calculation

The calculation for the ‘commission generated’ by each customer is currently defined as;
Commission generated = (Commission + Implied Commission) ÷ 2

where

Implied Commission = market losses x average market commission rate
From 12th October 2009, for the purposes of the Premium Charge, Implied Commission will be defined as;
Implied Commission = market losses x 3%
