ACTION
1.
For the reasons set out in this Final Notice, the Financial Services Authority (the

which notified Mr Tan that, for the reasons given below and pursuant to section 45 of
the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “Act”), the FSA had decided to
cancel the permission granted to Mr Tan under Part IV of the Act (“Mr Tan’s Part IV
permission”).
3.
Mr Tan has not referred the matter to the Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery
Division) within 28 days of the date on which the Decision Notice was given to him.

Accordingly, the FSA has today cancelled Mr Tan’s Part IV permission.

REASONS FOR ACTION
5.
On the basis of the facts and matters and conclusions described in the Warning Notice
issued to Mr Tan dated 28 March 2012, and in the Decision Notice, it appears to the
FSA Mr Tan is failing to satisfy the threshold conditions set out in Schedule 6 to the
Act (the "Threshold Conditions").
6.
This is because Mr Tan has failed to pay regulatory fees and levies owed to the FSA
totalling £1,787.64 despite repeated FSA requests that he does so.
7.
This failing, which is significant in the context of Mr Tan’s suitability, led the FSA to
conclude that Mr Tan had not conducted his business soundly and prudently and in
compliance with proper standards and that he is not a fit and proper person, and that
Mr Tan is therefore failing to satisfy the Threshold Conditions in relation to the
regulated activities for which he has had Part IV permission.
DECISION MAKER
8.
The decision which gave rise to the obligation to give this Final Notice was made by
the Regulatory Decisions Committee.
9.
This Final Notice is given to Mr Tan in accordance with section 390(1) of the Act.
