To fund the SEC, Section 31 transaction fees are levied when equities and ETFs are sold.
These fees will be temporarily removed until at least the next periodic review.
Section 31 transaction fees are miniscule.
"The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that starting on May 14, 2025,
the fee rates applicable to most securities transactions will be set at $0.00 per million dollars." "Consequently, each SRO will continue to pay the Commission a rate of $27.80 per million for covered sales occurring on charge dates through May 13, 2025, and a rate of $0.00 per million for covered sales occurring
on charge dates on or after May 14, 2025."https://www.sec.gov/rules-regulations/fee-rate-advisories/2025-2https://www.supermoney.com/encyclopedia/sec-fee
