TPM Options Consultation
This consultation sought feedback on our initial thinking on options for the benefit-based charge (BBC) and for adjustments to the BBC and residual charges (Adjustments), both mandatory components of the new TPM. The BBC and Adjustments components are inter-related, so we consulted on them jointly.
All consultation documents, submissions, cross-submissions and our summary and response document can be found below.
Consultation process
The TPM Options Consultation was published on 9 November 2020. Initial submissions were due by 5pm on Monday, 14 December 2020 and cross-submissions were due by 5pm on Monday, 18 January.
Consultation documents
Our consultation comprised three papers:
- Part A: Overview
- Part B: Benefit-based charge
- Part C: Adjustments to charges
We also supplied two supporting documents:
- Large-format diagrams - These key diagrams show detail on the TPM components under consultation. Small versions are used throughout the consultation documents as signposts, and readers may find this larger copy useful for reference. We recommend printing at A3 size.
- Question document - As with our previous TPM consultations, we have compiled the specific questions we pose throughout the consultation into a Word document, to aid submitters in preparing responses.
Online drop-in sessions
We ran three online drop-in sessions during the initial submission period. These were opportunities for you to ask questions and seek clarifications about the consultation. Links to the transcripts and video recordings of all three sessions are below.
