Hargreaves Lansdown has moved to officially challenge HMRC's decision to impose a tax on platform rebates paid to consumers, after the revenue's move to introduce the tax earlier this year.

Hargreaves Lansdown co-founder Peter Hargreaves has said his biggest fear is how customers will react to forthcoming changes to the platform's pricing model.

Hargreaves Lansdown expects to announce details of its new pricing model for funds in "November or December" after it reported record full-year results for 2013.

Hargreaves Lansdown has ruled out the prospect of taking marketing fees from fund groups or allowing advertising on its website, saying it wants to offer a 'transparent' fee structure when new regulations are implemented next year.
