Other Information:
In July 2000, the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency ruled that most of the service charges are exempted from GST under the Excise Tax Act.
A fee is either identified as “Regulatory” (R) or “Other Products and Services” (O). A Regulatory fee relates to an activity undertaken by a department that is integral to the effectiveness of a program and successful achievement of the program mandate requires moderating, directing, testing, or approving the actions of external parties.
The full cost is based on the fiscal year salary levels according to collective agreements, the fiscal year Treasury Board benefit factors and OSFI’S factor for indirect costs.
1Note: According to prevailing legal opinion, where the corresponding fee introduction or most recent modification occurred prior to March 31, 2004:
- the performance standard, if provided, may not have received parliamentary review; and
- the performance standard, if provided, may not respect all establishment requirements under the User Fee Act (e.g. international comparison; independent complaint address); and
- the performance result, if provided, is not legally subject to section 5.1 of the UFA regarding fee reductions for unachieved performance service standards may not have received parliamentary review.

4In 2010-2011, OSFI conducted three confidential survey consultations with deposit-taking institutions, executives of the FIs that OSFI regulates, and life insurance companies. Results showed that a strong majority of respondents were satisfied with OSFI in processing applications for regulatory approvals and believes that OSFI’s approval process is timely and efficient. From time to time, OSFI receives letters of appreciation from applicants thanking OSFI on the quality of its regulatory approval process.
