CHAPTER 4<br />
CHARGES<br />
ACCOMMODATION CHARGES FOR ENTITLED PERSONNEL<br />
0401. SFA charge. The Armed Forces Pay Review Body is responsible for reviewing<br />
and recommending accommodation charges which are paid by entitled occupants <strong>of</strong> SFA<br />
and the substitute equivalents. SFA charges are set by SFA type and grade for charge at<br />
the furnished, part furnished and unfurnished rate, and are published annually by Directed<br />
Letter by Hd DCDS(Pers) PM.<br />
0402. MOD’s 4 Tier Grading for Charge Regulations. All types <strong>of</strong> SFA are graded for<br />
charge in accordance with MOD’s 4 Tier Grading for Charge Regulations (TSARs <strong>JSP</strong> <strong>464</strong><br />
– Part 4) which take account <strong>of</strong> deficiencies in the accommodation relating to scaling,<br />
condition, access to essential amenities and environmental factors to ensure that<br />
occupants <strong>of</strong> the SFA are fairly charged for the accommodation which they occupy.<br />
Where there is a significant deficiency, reduction in amenities or environmental nuisance<br />
<strong>of</strong> a temporary nature exceeding 7 days, the appropriate Service Authority can authorise a<br />
reduction in charges for the complete period during which the temporary deficiency,<br />
reduction in amenities and environmental nuisance exists.<br />
SECTION II<br />
SFA CHARGE<br />
0403. Charge breakdown. The accommodation charge comprises:<br />
a. Rental element<br />
b. Furniture Hire - Unfurnished/Part Furnished/Furnished as provided (see paras<br />
0711 and 0712).<br />
c. Water and Sewage element.<br />
d. Garage/Car Port charge as appropriate<br />
0404. Raising <strong>of</strong> charges. The appropriate accommodation charge will be raised in<br />
accordance with <strong>JSP</strong> 754 Chap 9 from the date that a Service individual takes possession<br />
<strong>of</strong> SFA, but no charge will be paid for the day <strong>of</strong> departure. This is to avoid an individual<br />
being liable for 2 accommodation charges on the same day. If for Service reasons, an<br />
individual takes possession <strong>of</strong> a second SFA property before vacating the first, charges<br />
will cease in respect <strong>of</strong> the first SFA and will commence for the second from the date the<br />
individual takes possession <strong>of</strong> the second property. A 14 day period <strong>of</strong> grace is allowed<br />
for the vacation <strong>of</strong> the first SFA. Charges will be raised for both SFA when the 14 day<br />
period is exceeded unless there are Service reasons, supported by the Local Service<br />
Commander, why charges for both SFA should not be raised.<br />
