How is the assessment bill for each depository determined?
The law and corresponding regulations provide detailed information on the formula for determining how your bill was calculated. In brief, your bill is based on a combination of two factors: 1) a minimum assessment charged to each depository and 2) a calculation based on the depository's percentage of assets. |
