Exact is independent. We are not a government body and we do not carry out any procedure on your behalf.

What this is

Fees and Charges Relating to Cultural Centres, Community Cultural Centres, and Houses of Culture constitute non-tax public revenue collected by the Government in consideration of the services provided and the use of cultural facilities managed by the competent public authority. These fees and charges are payable by individuals or legal entities benefiting from services such as the rental of halls, exhibition spaces, performance stages, cultural equipment, and the organization of artistic, cultural, educational, or institutional events. They also cover services related to visits, training sessions, workshops, performances, and other authorized cultural activities. The revenue contributes to financing the operation, maintenance, modernization, and enhancement of cultural facilities while supporting the promotion of arts, culture, national heritage, and the development of the cultural and creative industries.

At the counter

What readers say they paid

The instrument sets a fee. At the counter it is not always that one. Here is what readers report, counted and summed up.

Nobody has reported an amount for this procedure yet.

If you have done it, say what you paid. It is published as counted figures, never as your account of it.

Report what I paid

No name, no number, no link. We refuse those.

We publish how many reports there are, the range and the median. Never your report on its own, never an official's name, never a named office.
