The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (DFSA) has updated its rules regarding the collection of levies from financial companies, effective from 2025. The amendments clarify existing legal references and importantly, extend the fee obligation to securities broker holding companies. Concurrently, the fee and licensing requirement for financial advisers are being abolished. This update impacts a range of financial entities operating within Denmark.

Financial companies, including securities broker holding companies, financial advisers, mortgage credit intermediaries, insurance intermediaries, and investment advisers, must be aware of these changes. Specifically, entities that provide advice on financial products to consumers will now be subject to DFSA fees. Financial advisers should note the abolition of their licensing requirement and associated fees. Compliance officers should review the specific fee structures and ensure adherence to the updated requirements starting in 2025.
