Title
Revised Annual Fees for Banks and Quasi-Banks
Law
Bsp Circular No. 111a
Decision Date
Aug 1, 1996
BSP Circular No. 111A establishes a revised framework for calculating annual fees for banks, quasi-banks, and thrift banks based on their average assessable assets, with specific rates set for the years 1993 to 1996 and provisions for administrative sanctions for non-compliance.

Computation of Average Assessable Assets (AAAs) for Banks

  • AAAs is the sum of end-of-month total assessable assets
  • Divided by the number of months in operation during the assessment period

Annual Fee Rates for Commercial Banks

  • For second semester of 1993: 1/28 of 1% multiplied by AAAs
  • For years 1994, 1995, and 1996: 1/28 of 1% multiplied by respective year's AAAs

Collection and Payment of Annual Fees by Banks

  • Annual fees debited to banks’ deposits with BSP upon notice from Department of Commercial Banks
  • If deposit insufficient, BSP bills the bank for balance
  • Bank must remit payment within 30 days of bill receipt
  • Failure to pay results in administrative sanctions

Definition of Total Assessable Assets for Thrift Banks

  • Same as commercial banks: total assets under Section 28 of R.A. 7653
  • Includes end-of-month assets after deductions and Trust Department Accounts

Computation of AAAs for Thrift Banks

  • Sum of end-of-month total assessable assets
  • Divided by months in operation during assessment period

Annual Fee Rates for Thrift Banks

  • For second semester of 1993 and years 1994 to 1996, rate is 1/28 of 1% multiplied by AAAs
  • Stock Savings and Loan Associations have fees at 1/20th of 1% or cost of maintenance of BSP supervising department, whichever is lower

Collection and Payment of Annual Fees by Thrift Banks

  • Debited to deposits with BSP upon notice from Department of Thrift Banks and Non-Bank Financial Institutions
  • Insufficient deposit triggers billing for balance
  • Payment due within 30 days from receipt of bill
  • Non-payment leads to administrative sanctions

Definition of Total Assessable Assets for Quasi-banks

  • Refers to total assets under Section 28 of R.A. 7653
  • Calculated on an end-of-quarter basis
  • Deducts cash on hand and amounts due from banks including BSP and foreign banks
  • Includes Trust Department Accounts

Computation of AAAs for Quasi-banks

  • Sum of end-of-quarter total assessable assets
  • Divided by number of quarters in operation in the assessment period

Annual Fee Rates for Quasi-banks

  • Same formula as banks and thrift banks: 1/28 of 1% multiplied by AAAs for the respective periods from 1993 to 1996

Collection and Payment of Annual Fees by Quasi-banks

  • Fees debited to deposits upon notice from Department of Thrift Banks and Non-Bank Financial Institutions
  • Insufficient deposits result in billing for remaining balance
  • Payment must be remitted within 30 days
  • Failure to pay subjects quasi-banks to administrative sanctions

General Provisions

  • Annual fees assessed based on average assessable assets for respective operational periods
  • Payment mechanisms involve debit to BSP deposits or billing if insufficient funds
  • Strict 30-day period for payment to avoid administrative sanctions
  • The circular and amendments become effective immediately from August 1, 1996
