I don't see why you can't do that?

There's plenty of things that cost money that legislation forces companies to do anyway, regardless of if there is a 'funding source' or not.

Although this particular one is from the FCA so presumably is taxpayer funded anyway.

Well if you mandate they spend money and also mandate they don't get money, they'll shut down.

I’m assuming there are other revenue sources (eg transaction charges).
