The 2011 Act provides that an authorisation to provide a postal service within the scope of the universal postal service is subject to the payment of a levy to ComReg.
S.I. 181 of 2013 provides that the amount of the levy imposed on each applicable undertaking, other than An Post, is subject to a minimum charge of €5,000 per annum per postal service provider providing postal services within the scope of the universal postal service. However, depending on the amount of the turnover on the postal services within the scope of the universal postal service, the levy may be higher than €5,000.
