The coalition government have unveiled a banks levy that will apply to the balance sheets of UK banks and building societies and to the UK operations of banks from abroad

Osborne also announced deductions for Tier one capital and insured retail deposits and a lower rate for longer maturity funding.
Smaller banks with liabilities below a certain level will not be liable for the levy.
