Ministry proposes abolition of 7 fees for investments in construction – Savings of 6% of facility value
The proposition of amendments to the Law on State Administrative Fees envisages the abolition of seven fees in the field of construction, which will lead to savings of 6% of the facility value, the Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure, which proposed the amendments, announced on December 5.
The most important change is that the fee for issuing exploitation permits will no longer be treated as a parafiscal charge, which will help reduce the number of facilities currently used without an exploitation permit, the press release says. The fee, according to the Ministry's proposition, will be paid depending on the time needed to process an average request, and not in the fixed amount of 0.2% of the estimated value of the facility.
As explained, carrying costs, observed by the Doing Business report of the World Bank, will amount to 1,800 to 18,000, depending on the complexity of the facility, instead of the current RSD 56,000.
It is pointed out that another considerable saving is the abolition of the RSD 31,960 fee for the decision determining the harmonization of a preliminary design with the urban plan, which gives sanitary authorization for the preliminary design.
The abolition of the fee for decisions authorizing the construction of a facility in the border crossing area and in the border area, the fees for confirmation by a state institution of the reception of the documentation for the construction of a facility and for the decision authorizing the construction of telecommunications structures is also proposed.
The authorization of the exploitation of a facility adopted by the institution in charge of the telecommunications activities and the decision authorizing a trial run of a facility are to be abolished as well.
The proposition also includes the abolition of charges for obtaining the certificate of the control of foundations of facilities, currently amounting to RSD 1,600.
With these changes, the system of administrative fees will be harmonized with the Law on Planning and Construction, the press release says.
This means that the fees for activities abolished by the latest amendments to the law will be abolished as well, whereas new fees in the total amount of RSD 33,660 will be implemented for activities for which fees have not been defined so far, such as the certificate by a competent institution of the registration of the works and the issuing of the information about the location and location requirements.
The Ministry of Construction assesses that the savings for future investors will lead to an increase of investments in the construction sector and an improvement of the business environment in Serbia.
Let us remind that, according to the draft law on amendments to the Law on State Administrative Fees, already prepared by the Ministry of Finance, all the fees charged by state institutions and companies should from now on be unified.
