The PPF has announced that it is putting its 2025/26 levy invoicing on hold and expects to provide a further update in the Autumn.
The PPF restated that it is moving to charge no conventional levy if appropriate legislative changes are brought forward and sufficiently progressed in 2025/26. Its levy rules for the 2025/26 financial year already include provisions for the calculation of a zero conventional levy once changes are made to the governing legislation.
