The Federal Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic and the Ministry of Finance of the SSR provide, in agreement with the participating central authorities, pursuant to Article 17 (1) of Act No. 105 / 1951 Coll., as amended by the legal measure of the Bureau of the National Assembly No. 138 / 1960 Coll., amending and supplementing the Act on Administrative Charges ("the Act '):
§ 1
(1) The subject matter and rates of administrative fees (hereinafter referred to as "fees") are laid down in the annexed tariffs which form part of this decree.
(2) National committees and other bodies of state administration (hereinafter referred to as "administrative bodies") shall levy fees for the actions which they carry out pursuant to Tariff I, irrespective of the section of this Tariff. The authorities of the State measure service shall levy fees for special payment operations which they carry out under Schedule II.
§ 2
(1) The fees fixed in the tariffs in the framework (minimum and maximum permissible amount) shall be calculated within the limits of the rate according to the scale, duration and difficulty of the operation and the purpose of the charge.
(2) The fees set in the tariffs by a percentage of the price of the goods shall be calculated from the retail price and, if not fixed, from the price at which the item may be sold at the time the fee is charged or, if the fee is payable without measurement, at the time the fee is due. The payer shall communicate this price to the administrative department charging the fee; if the figure does not seem to correspond to the retail (normal) price or if the taxpayer does not pay this price at all, it shall be determined by the measuring authority.
(3) The basis of the charge, which is set by a percentage of the price, is rounded up to an amount divisible by 20. The fees are rounded up to 50 cents on the whole crown down and over 50 cents on the whole crown up.
§ 3
Time and method of measurement and maturity of fee
(1) Fees shall be charged before an oral or written call for payment of the fee is made, unless the tariffs provide that they shall not be paid without measurement.
(2) Fees shall be payable before the operation is carried out, unless otherwise specified.
(3) After the operation, only fees shall be charged:
1. the operations in respect of which the tariffs so provide;
2. where the performance of the operations is a prerequisite for the amount of the fee, in view of the method of setting the fee rate;
3. for acts which have been carried out even if the fee has not been paid (Section 7 of the Act).
(4) The fees referred to in paragraph 3 shall be measured by a payment period and shall be due within 15 days of the date of receipt of the notice.
§ 4
Method of payment
(1) Fees shall be paid by stamp if they do not exceed 400 CZK.
(2) Cash or transfer from an account with a money institution shall be subject to fees:

(b) if, according to the tariff, they are direct income of national committees
(c) if this method of payment is more appropriate, even if the fee does not exceed 400 CZK.
(3) Fees not paid by stamp shall be paid on behalf of the administration, as a general rule, to the person who charged the fee.
§ 5
Currency
(1) The percentage fees for the operations of the representative offices shall be calculated in the currency in which the price of the fee base is expressed. Other fees for actions of the Czech representative offices are charged in Czechoslovak crowns.
(2) Fees for acts of representative offices charged to foreign taxpayers shall be paid in the currency of the State in which the representative office charging or collecting the fee is located. However, if the representative office considers it appropriate, it may also accept payments in another foreign currency. Fees for the tasks of the Czech representative offices charged to taxpayers residing in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic are paid in Czechoslovak crowns. However, the paying authority may accept payment in another currency if it considers it appropriate.
(3) When measuring and paying fees, the Czechoslovak crowns are converted into foreign currencies and vice versa according to official courses announced by the Czechoslovak State Bank.
