The National Assembly of the Czechoslovak Republic decided on the following Act:
Initial provision.
§ 1.
(1) Administrative fees are levied by national committees and other bodies of government (hereinafter referred to as "administrative bodies.")
(2) Administrative fees shall not be levied for the operation of public administration facilities, state institutes and national and municipal undertakings, even if they are public authorities; However, the Minister of Finance may provide for exceptions.

§ 3.
Articles and fees.
(1) The subjects and rates of charges are laid down by the Minister for Finance in tariffs, in such a way that only one fee is normally levied for proceedings before the same administrative authority.
§ 4.
The taxpayer.
(1) The fee shall be payable by the party who initiated the action or, if the action is carried out on an official basis or in the interest of the parties to any other administrative or judicial proceedings, by the person in whose interest or in whose interest the action has been carried out.
(2) If there are several taxpayers, they are obliged to pay the fee by hand in common and indiscriminate.
§ 5.
Method of measurement, maturity and method of payment.

(2) The Ministry of Finance may provide for adjustments and price types of stamp stamps or special stamps intended for payment of fees and the manner and conditions for their exchange. Where a special regulation on the payment of public doses by stamp or special mark, the stamp or mark issued under this provision shall be used.

§ 7.
The consequences of failure to fulfil a fee obligation.

If the taxpayer does not comply with this call, the submission shall not be negotiated, excluding cases where the submission is to be discussed for reasons of general interest or where the fee is to be paid by the taxpayer after that period and the administrative authority considers that the hearing is appropriate.
(2) Where the implementing act provides that the fee is due before the act is carried out and where the fee is not paid by the payer within the prescribed period, the action shall not be carried out, excluding cases where the action is to be carried out for reasons of general interest or where the fee or instalment is authorised by the payer or where the fee is to be paid after the time limit laid down and the administrative authority considers the execution of the act to be appropriate.
§ 8.
Substantial liability and retention rights.
(1) There is a legal lien for acts relating to the case, if the administrative authority has it. The lien under this provision does not affect movable goods which cannot be stopped or excluded from execution under the legislation.

(3) As long as the administrative authority is in possession of the collateral, it may satisfy itself before any other creditor without the enforcement procedure by selling in public auction, even if the right of the State to enforce the fee has ceased to exist by limitation (§ 9).
(4) Where a cash claim is incurred by the taxpayer in carrying out a charge against the State, the administrative authority may levy an unpaid fee on the fulfilment of the obligation by means of a deduction from the amount of money paid.
§ 9.
Silence.
(1) The right of the State to charge a fee shall be limited by the expiry of three years calculated from the beginning of the calendar year following the year in which the fee has been paid or in which other factors relevant for the assessment of the fee have occurred.

(4) If the administrative authority carries out an action to measure or recover a fee (its supplement) and informs the taxpayer thereof, a new limitation period shall begin to run from the beginning of the calendar year following the year in which such action was carried out. However, the right of the State to impose and enforce a fee shall be limited to the maximum period of 10 years calculated from the beginning of the limitation period referred to in paragraph 1.
§ 10.
Liberation and other relief.
(1) Fees do not apply to national committees and other bodies of state administration (including public administration facilities, state institutes and state funds), courts and prosecutors.

(3) The Ministry of Finance may entrust the national committees and other bodies with the task of authorising concessions in individual cases.
(4) The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the representative offices may also reduce or waive the fees levied by them for reasons of reciprocity or for reasons of general interest.

Jurisdiction
(1) In the case of charges, the competent administrative authority shall be responsible in the first stool for the performance of the duties.
(2) Fees which the representative office is unable to determine or select for exceptional obstacles itself, shall be levied or collected by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The fees charged by the representative offices to taxpayers residing in the Czechoslovak Republic shall be collected by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs if they have not been collected by the representative office by a deduction pursuant to § 8 (4).
