It aims to establish common policy in respect of fees that are paid for the provision of services by state authorities, local self-government bodies and judicial institutions and for the granting of rights provided for by law. A fee is a mandatory payment to a budget, which is payable by natural or legal persons and partnerships for the right to carry out activities defined by law and/or for the right of use granted to them by state or local self-government bodies, as well as for the provision of certain services by state or local self-government bodies. The system of fees comprises a set of principles, forms and methods of payment (establishment, change, and abolition) of fees provided for by this Law. The structure, the amount of fees and the procedure for introducing fees in Georgia shall be determined only by law. Natural and legal persons and partnerships, who are fee payers, shall pay the national and local fees established by this Law. No person shall be obliged to pay a fee not provided for by this Law. The supreme representative bodies of the Autonomous Republics of Abkhazia and Adjara, as well as local self-government bodies, may introduce local fees established only by a respective law of Georgia. Among others, fees include a fee for the use of natural resources; an environmental impact assessment fee; a construction permit fee (except for the construction of radiation and nuclear facilities of special importance); a fee for cleaning a populated area; and a fee for expedited services for issuing (amending) a certificate of compliance with construction (except for the construction of radiation and nuclear facilities of special importance) permit requirements (acceptance into service); a service fee for state and technical supervision over construction.
