Calculation of fees due for the pursue of the activity of postal services provider, pursuant to paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of article 44 of Law No. 17/2012, of 26 April
1. In accordance with paragraph 3 of Annex IX to Administrative Rule No. 1473-B/2008 of 17 February, as amended by Administrative Rule No. 296-A/2013, of 2 October, public notice is made of the total value of administrative costs incurred by ICP-ANACOM to be considered for the purpose of the settlement of fees due in 2013 (Year n) for the pursue of the activity of postal services provider. As such, C(Year n) = 2 432 453 Euro (average of costs of the last 3 years, with the exception of provisions made in respect of ongoing legal proceedings related to the regulation of postal services, for which the average is taken of the last 5 years.)
2. The following table provides a detailed breakdown of ICP-ANACOM’s costs, based on the implemented ABC model, the functioning of which is described in Annex A. This breakdown makes it possible to identify the administrative costs that are relevant for the calculation of the fee referred to in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of article 44 of Law No. 17/2012, of 26 April, which lays down the legal regime that governs the provision of postal services.

3. Pursuant to paragraphs 2 and 3 of Annex IX to Administrative Rule No. 1473-B/2008, of 17 December, as amended by Administrative Rule No. 296-A/2013, of 2 October, it is hereby made public knowledge of the value of the t2 contributory rate, which results from the application of the following formula, thus obtained:
Formula: t2 = (C (Year n) - T1 (Year n)n1(Year n)) / ΣR2 (Year n-1)
C = Total costs resulting from the regulation of the activity, value which corresponds to fees due to ICP-ANACOM in 2013 = 2.432.453 €;
∑R0 = Total relevant revenues of bodies of step 0, in 2012 = 2.959.666 €;
T1 = Fee due by bodies of step 1 (relevant revenues < = 1.500.000 €) = 2.500 €;
n1 = Number of bodies of step 1 = 16;
∑ of relevant revenues of all bodies paying fees due for electronic communications networks and services in 2012 = 837.786.767 €;
∑R1 = Total relevant revenues of bodies of step 1, in 2012 = 10.215.915 €;
∑R2 = Total relevant revenues of bodies of step 2, in 2012 = 824.611.186 €;
∑T1n1= 2.500 € x 16= 40.000 €
t2 = contributory rate to be paid by of bodies of step 2 (relevant revenues > 1.500.000 €) = (2.432.453 €- 40.000 €) / 824.611.186 € = 0, 2901%;
a2 (Year n) = Part to be deducted in the calculation of fees due by bodies of step2
a2 = t2 (Year n) x RLI2 - T1 (Year n) = 0,2901% x 1.500.001 € - 2.500 € = 1.851,50 €
T2 (Year n) = t2 (Year n) x R2 (Year n-1) - a2 (the value of fees to be settled is obtained by applying the 0,2901% rate to relevant revenues of each operator of step 2 and deducting 1.851,50 €).
