...
...
...
Please sign up or sign in to your Pro Membership to see English documents.
The police offices shall use the fee amount
deducted according to the above percentages to serve the fee collection
according to the following specific spending contents:
a/ Printing (or purchase) of forms, declaration
form, application form and dossier for motorcycle registration, registration
certificates, books for monitoring the registration; including plastic covering
of registration certificates and vehicle serial number imprinting.
b/ Expenses for regular repairs and overhauls of
assets, machinery and equipment which are in direct service of the fee
collection.
c/ Expenses for procurement of machinery and
equipment to modernize the fee collection.
d/ Other regular expenses in direct service of
the granting of registration papers and number plates according to the regime
prescribed by the State (excluding expenses being wages for the public security
force and State workers and employees enjoying wages according to the
prescribed regime).
e/ Deductions for setting up of reward and
welfare funds for officials and employees directly engaged in the collection of
registration paper- and plate number-granting fee. The average annual
per-capita deduction levels for setting up the reward and welfare funds must
not exceed 3 (three) months' actual wages if the collected amount in a year is
larger than that of the preceding year, or 2 (two) months' actual wages if the
collected amount in a year is smaller than or equal to that of the preceding
year.
The whole fee amount deducted at the above rates
shall be incorporated by the police offices in their annual financial plans. In
the management process, such fee amount must be used for the right spending
contents strictly according to the financial expenditure regime and accompanied
with lawful vouchers and invoices as prescribed. Basing themselves on the fee
amounts deducted to serve the fee collection, the directors of the police
departments of the provinces and centrally-run cities may decide to transfer
fee amounts from abundant units to lacking units (in cases where the
registration of land-road motorized traffic means has been decentralized to district
police offices) or pay for procurement of machinery and equipment in service of
the fee collection modernization. Upon the annual settlement, if the deducted
amount is not used up, it shall be carried forward to the following year for
further spending according to the prescribed regime.
3.2. The remainder (the total collected amount
minus (-) expenses for purchasing number plates and deducted amount left to
police offices according to regulations) shall be remitted by the police
offices into the State budget according to the corresponding chapter, type and
section, item 046, sub-item 12 of the State budget index, then wholly allocated
to the local budgets for investment in development of land-road traffic and
mass-transit infrastructures as well as land-road traffic order and safety
work.
The procedures for registering, declaring,
collecting and paying the registration paper- and number plate-granting fee
shall comply with the provisions of the Finance Ministry's Circular No.
63/2002/TT-BTC of July 24, 2002 guiding the implementation of the law
provisions on fees and charges.
