Section 17(4) of the Regulatory Offences Act remains unaffected.
(4) The annual net turnover within the meaning of subsection (3), second sentence, point 1, is the aggregate amount of the income referred to in section 34(2), first sentence, points 1(a) to (e), of the Credit Institution Accounting Regulation, as amended, including gross income comprising interest income and similar income, income from shares, other equity interests, and non-fixed-income or fixed-income securities, and income from commissions and fees, as set out in Article 316 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, less value added tax and other taxes levied directly on that income. Where the undertaking is a subsidiary undertaking, the annual net turnover reported in the preceding financial year in the consolidated accounts of the parent undertaking at the head of the group is used.
