The cost of debt that is paid by borrowers expressed as an annualised figure, the calculation of which is set down by law.

Annual percentage rate (APR) is the standardised yearly cost of consumer credit, expressed as a percentage of the amount borrowed and including interest and most compulsory charges. It is used in lending and consumer credit documentation to allow borrowers and advisers to compare the overall cost of different credit products, such as personal loans, credit cards, hire purchase and regulated mortgages.In England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, APR is defined and calculated in accordance with the Consumer Credit Act 1974, the Consumer Credit (Total Charge for Credit) Regulations 2010 and associated FCA rules, with a parallel regime for mortgages (e.g. the APRC under the Mortgage Credit Directive). In Ireland, APR is governed principally by the Consumer Credit Act 1995 and Central Bank regulations.The APR must be disclosed in pre-contract information and credit agreements for regulated consumer credit, using prescribed assumptions and formulae. Not all charges are included (for example, some contingent or optional fees), so practitioners should review the underlying “total charge for credit” calculations and consider whether APR figures are fair, not misleading and compliant with advertising and information disclosure rules.

STOP PRESS: A significant restructuring of the UK listing regime came into effect on 29 July 2024 which included the removal of the premium and standard listing segments and the creation of a single listing category for equity shares in commercial companies. The commercial companies category is heavily disclosure-based and sits alongside other listing categories such as the shell companies, secondary listing and closed ended investment fund categories. A new UK Listing Rules sourcebook came into force to implement the changes and the previous Listing Rules sourcebook was revoked. For further information, see Practice Note: Reform of the UK listing regime—fundamentals. This fundamentals note reflects the listing regime as it was prior to 29 July 2024.
