20 16 12 The National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the Guiding Opinions on Regulating the Deposit and Management of Funds of Financial Institutions in the Field of Internet Finance, which clearly stipulated that the intermediary fees of Internet financial platforms should not exceed 20% of the income.
In addition, in other fields, such as real estate, recruitment and other industries, some places have also introduced similar charging standards.
The collection of living expenses is usually negotiated by both parties themselves, and there is no clear legal provision that the maximum score is protected by law. However, the relevant state intermediary service departments will issue relevant policies to standardize the charging standards of intermediary services in order to protect fair competition in the market and consumers' rights and interests. No matter how the agency fee is collected, it should abide by the market rules and the principle of good faith, and should not engage in bad behaviors such as fraud and false propaganda to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
