How often do charges change?
Charges are revised by roughly 8%, done about once every two years — this was that revision (effective 01.04.2025), with the next expected around 01.04.2027, subject to review. That's a meaningfully different cadence from an annual increase, so don't assume next year's rate moves — it's set to hold until the 2027 cycle.
