FCA publishes Quarterly Consultation Paper No. 50 - insurance focus

December 5, 2025

The FCA has published its latest Quarterly Consultation Paper no. 50, as CP25/35.  There are three proposals which will are potentially relevant to general insurance firms, in relation to the decommissioning of certain sections of the REP021 insurance pricing return, a change in submission frequency of the FIN073 Baseline Financial Resilience return, and a reduction in the late submission fee for reports and returns.

If the proposals go ahead:

  • Price-setting insurance intermediaries will no longer need to complete REP021d (general insurance pricing information for closed books of business) but REP021e will still need to be completed.
  • For firms which complete a financial year-end RMAR, and which complete Section A (RMA-A), they will only need to submit the FIN073 Baseline Financial Resilience return annually rather than quarterly unless they reported total revenue from regulated activities within the scope of the RMAR of more than £150m for that financial year.
  • The current £250 fee for late submission of reports and returns will be reduced to £100.  A key driver for this move is that there has been a marked improvement in submission timeliness.  Under the proposals, the FCA is would provide clearer guidance and improved notifications, helping firms understand the process and avoid unnecessary admin fees.
