/

Calculation of fees due for the provision of postal services, in 2017, pursuant to paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of article 44 of Law No. 17/2012, of 26 April

1. Under paragraphs 2 and 3 of Annex IX to Administrative Rule No. 1473-B/2008, of 17 December, as amended by Administrative Rule No. 296-A/2013, of 2 October, it is hereby made public knowledge of the value of the t2 contribution rate, which results from the application of the following formula, thus obtained:

Formula: t2 = (C (Year n) - T1n1 (Year n)) / ∑R2 (Year n-1);

C = Total costs incurred in the regulation of the provision of postal services, amount that corresponds to fees due to ANACOM in 2017 = 1,857,755€;
 
∑R0 = Total amount of relevant revenues of bodies of tier 0, in 2016 = 2,972,126€;
 
∑R1 = Total amount of relevant revenues of bodies of tier 1, in 2016 = 14,727,889€;
 
∑R2 = Total amount of relevant revenues of bodies of tier 2, in 2016 = 787,342,858€;
 
∑R = Total amount of relevant revenues of all postal service providers, in 2016 = 805,042,0873€;
 
T1 = Fee due by bodies of tier 1 (relevant revenues >250,000€ 

n1 = Number of bodies of tier 1 = 26;
 
∑T1n1= 2,500€ x 26 = 65,000 €;
 
t2 = Contribution rate to be paid by bodies of tier 2 (relevant revenues > 1,500,000€) = (1,857,755€ - 65,000 €) / 787,342,858 € = 0.2277%;
 
a2 (Year n) = Part to be deducted in the calculation of fees due by bodies of tier 2
 
a2 = t2 (Year n) X RLI2 – T1(Year n) ) = 0.2277% x 1,500,001 € - 2,500 € = 915.50€
 
T2 (Year n) = t2 (Year n)  x R2 (Year n-1) - a2  (the value of fees to be settled for a regular year is obtained by applying the 0.2277% rate to relevant revenues of each operator of tier 2 and deducting 915.50 €).

2. Amounts of relevant revenues of some postal service providers were subject to a review, further to an audit carried out by Decision of ANACOM’s Management Board.
