No. 311
REGULATIONS REGARDING ADMINISTRATIVE AND LICENCE FEES FOR SERVICE LICENCES
Reasons for decision
With regards to Telecommunication Services, section 23 of the Communications Act, 2009 provides that CRAN may, after a rule making procedure, impose a regulatory levy on providers of communications services. Section 38(10)(f) provides that CRAN may impose on licensees the fees payable for the grant, management and control of a licence. Section 42(3) provides that CRAN may declare a licence to be forfeited if any fees or any other amount payable to CRAN by a licensee are not paid.
With regards to Broadcasting Services, section 85(1) of the Communications Act, 2009 provides that CRAN may determine prescribed fees in respect of broadcasting licences. Section 88 provides that CRAN may declare a licence to be forfeited if any fees are not paid.
Section 129 provides that CRAN may make regulations prescribing fees payable to it when applications are made and when licences are issued.
Accordingly, CRAN has made application and licence fees applicable to telecommunications and broadcasting service licences.
In respect of the above, CRAN has published draft regulations and received public comments regarding the fees for renewal applications being too high and thus should be reduced. In contrast comments were also received that the application fees were low. CRAN has decided to keep the application fees as per the draft regulations. According to the Communications Act No.8 of 2009, renewal are to be made every 5 to 10 years and should not impact on business of licensees adversely. In addition the application fees will be adjusted in terms of Regulation 5, with the Consumer Price Index annually.
Further comments were received; particularly with regards to the Telecommunications Individual Comprehensive (ECNS and ECS) licences and that the fees should only be paid on the telecommunications related business. CRAN is of the view that the levy that is charged is on electronic communication network services and on electronic communication services. Furthermore licensees are reminded that the licenses are service and technology neutral. CRAN does regulate telecommunications equipment and thus incurs administrative costs in this respect. If CRAN has to implement a chart of accounts and cost allocation manual it would be an administrative burden for both CRAN and the licensees. CRAN is however at looking conducting a study regarding costs accounting procedures in this regard, which will address this matter.
Further, CRAN has in benchmarking itself to neighbouring countries found that they have not successfully implemented a chart of accounts and cost allocation manuals and that it took years to devise and implement same.
CRAN has considered the comments made regarding the usage of net profit or gross profit as a percentage of the annual license fees. CRAN is of the view that these create measurement challenges and therefore calculation on annual license fees will remain on turnover, especially given the fact that cost accounting procedures are yet to be fully investigated for implementation. Turnover has been used as a basis in many countries benchmarked for the purpose of this study.
2012
CRAN has however considered the comments on the percentage of the annual license fee and has decided on using a progressive licence fee formula, in terms of which the percentage of turnover payable as a license fee is based on a formula that caps the maximum percentage at 1.5%.
In addition to the progressive licence fee formula all licensees shall pay a annual regulatory administrative levy as per regulation (3) below.
The formula is designed in a way so that the percentage levy increases evenly from 0% to 1.5% for turnover ranging from zero to one billion Namibian dollars. Licensees with less than one billion N$ turnover pay a lower percentage and only licensees and operators that exceed one billion Namibian dollars in turnover pay the full levy.
The formula works as follows: Levy %=Minimum (1.5%, 0.00000000002Turnover). The formula selects the lower value out of 1.5% and 0.00000000002turnover.
Examples:
- a) 5 million turnover: Minimum (1.5%, 0.00000000002*5,000,000) =0.01%.
- b) 500 million turnover: Minimum (1.5%, 0.00000000002*500,000,000) =1%.
- c) 2 billion turnover: Minimum (1.5%, 0.00000000002*2,000,000,000) =1,5%.
Please note that 0.00000000002*2,000,000,000=4% and hence the lower 1.5% is selected.
This progressive license fee formula has the following advantages:
- A single formula can be applied to all sectors and licensees.
- Smaller licensees and new entrants are paying a much smaller levy percentage, which encourages market entry and competition.
- Once a licensee has reached a turnover of one billion Namibian dollars, the full levy becomes applicable.
- The progressive license fee formula reduces the market exit risk while maintaining a sound base for the funding of CRAN in order to defray its expenses.
- The progressive licence fee formula and the annual regulatory administrative levy is not unreasonably discriminatory.
CRAN would like the industry to note that it is in the setting up phase and that there are various regulatory projects that need to be rolled out to ensure that CRAN can regulate the sector effectively. Additionally, CRAN is looking at additional transfer of funds from government to address its regulatory program.
