Obligations
What this law requires
Government agencies and public establishments receiving allocated resources must not exceed the spending caps specified in the table. Any annual revenue exceeding the fixed ceiling must be returned to the general budget.
When an allocated tax is directly collected by the beneficiary agency, any surplus exceeding the ceiling must be transferred to the general budget immediately upon detection of overage, and no later than December 31 of the collection year.
If an agency fails to voluntarily reverse surplus funds, the administrative supervisory ministry must issue a formal demand, and if still not complied with, must issue a revenue receipt title against the overpaying agency.
When an allocated resource is collected by Treasury accountants on behalf of an agency, collection fees may only be charged up to the amount of tax revenue actually transferred to the beneficiary agency.
An annual implementation report must be attached to the draft budget law showing revenue forecasts for capped allocated resources for the current and following year, justifying the proposed ceiling levels and explaining any changes to the resource scope.
