III. MANAGEMENT AND USE OF FEES AND COSTS FOR PLANT PROTECTION AND QUARANTINE WORK.
The collection of fees and costs for plant protection and quarantine work is a revenue of the state budget collected by plant protection and quarantine agencies at all levels. Responsibilities of plant protection and quarantine agencies:
1. Must register with local tax authorities and maintain books of accounts to track income and expenditure of fees and costs according to current state accounting and statistical regulations.
2. Receipts for collecting fees and costs are issued by the Ministry of Finance (General Tax Department) and received at local tax bureaus.
