Part 2: Prominence on television selection services Supplemental provisions of Part 3A Maximum amount of penalties
Paragraph 3 of Schedule 16A sets out the maximum amount of penalties that may be imposed by OFCOM. Sub-paragraph (2) says that the maximum penalty that OFCOM can impose on the provider of a designated IPS (other than the BBC or S4C) or a RTSS with an accounting period is the greater of £250,000 and 5% of the person’s "qualifying worldwide revenue" for the person’s most recent complete accounting period. Sub-paragraph (3) states that in any other case, the maximum penalty which can be imposed is £250,000. This includes the BBC and S4C and other persons (who are not designated IPS or RTSS providers) who have failed to comply with an information notice or designated IPS or RTSS providers who do not have an accounting period.
