(a)in the case of a single charge structure, 0∙75%, and
(b)in the case of an existing rights charge in a combination charge structure, the percentage in Column 2 of the Table—

(ii)in regulation 6(4), where a flat fee is imposed.

(7) Where a member has no rights in the default arrangement at a reference point referred to in paragraph (2), paragraph (4) is to be read as if “average of the reference point values” read “value of that member’s rights in the default arrangement on the final day of the charges year or, where the member has no such rights on that day, on the final day on which the member has such rights,”.
