The Pubs Code Adjudicator has confirmed the details of the levy on pubcos for the financial year 2016/2017.

The PCA charges pub-owning businesses a percentage of the levy according to how many tied pubs they own.

The levy amount for 2016/17 was set at £1.5m, meaning the total contributions required from each pubco ranges from 7% to 40% of the total. The minimum amount is therefore £105,000 and the maximum is £594,000.
