Previously Exempt Abstractions
Time is running out to get your licence application in if you have a previously exempt abstraction activity. You must get this in as soon as possible and at the very latest before September 2019 to allow for any further requests to be received before the deadline at the end of December 2019. If not you risk having to stop abstracting with significant impacts for you and your business.   

Further details are on the Exempt Abstractions Page.
