(2) The fee payable by virtue of paragraph (1) shall be calculated by multiplying £2,000 by the number of days in the period starting with the principal commencement date and ending with the date immediately before the next anniversary of the granting of the authorisation or the date of expiry of the authorisation (whichever occurs first) and dividing the result by 365.

(5) Where on the relevant anniversary the authorisation mentioned in paragraph (4) has less than a year to run, the fee shall be calculated by multiplying £2,000 by the number of days that the authorisation has to run (starting with the day of the anniversary) and dividing the result by 365.
