| (a) | The formula below is used as a basis to calculate Group A Operators annual safety permit fee: |
W = (Y - U- V) * X/Z
Where:
U is the total amount of the railway safety permit fees payable by all Group C Operators for the most recently completed and audited financial year; (R51 880.65)
V is the total amount of the railway safety permit fees payable by all Group B Operators for the most recently completed and audited financial year; (R2 576 290.64)
W is the amount of railway safety fees payable by the relevant Group A Operators. (Use formula to determine contribution);
X is the annual rail-related revenue of the relevant Group A Operators for the most recently completed and audited financial year;
Y is the total amount of the railway safety permit fees due to the Railway Safety Regulator for the 2017/18 financial year; (R143 100 000.00) and
Z is the total annual rail -related revenue of all the Group A Operators for the most recently completed and audited financial year (R93 027 135 824.56)
