Consular fees as a source of state revenue in the Republic of Poland
Journal Title: Prawo Budżetowe Państwa i Samorządu - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
The study presents the legal status, and principles for the calculation and collection of consular fees which constitute a source of state revenue in Poland. Consular fees are a special type of public charges charged for the performance of official activities by a consul. The legal basis for the calculation and collection of these fees is primarily the provisions of the Consular Law and executive acts issued thereto. Occasional regulations on consular fees have also been included in other legal acts, i.e. the Maritime Code, the Act on the Polish Card, the Passport Act, and the Stamp Duty Act. The hypothesis that the proceeds from consular fees are of marginal importance among the state budget revenue has been verified and confirmed.
