Tax operating licences:

  • are issued by the office of the Customs and Monopolies Agency responsible for the territory before the plants to which they refer start operating;
  • have unlimited validity, but can be revoked when conditions for operating the system are no longer met;
  • are subject to payment of an annual fee of differing amounts, depending on the type of plant.

The annual licence fee must be paid in the period from 1 to 16 December of the year preceding the year to which it relates.
For newly established plants, the annual licence fee must be paid before the licence is issued.
Because the licences are valid for an unlimited period, no application for renewal need be submitted. The relevant annual fee must simply be paid by the required deadline.
