General rules

Transaction fees are payable by the seller as well as the buyer on the basis of the total value of the transaction they engage in. For fee payment purposes, cross orders shall be deemed to constitute two transactions, a purchase and a sale.

Transaction fees are deductible from the annual trading licence fee. Transaction fees shall become due and payable whenever the amount of transaction fees payable by an Exchange Member surpass the annual trading licence fee for the given section paid by the Exchange Member.
