What this is
The fees for the study of firearm purchase authorization files are non-tax revenues under the responsibility of the Ministry of Territorial Administration (MINAT), through the Directorate of Political Affairs. These revenues are established to cover the administrative costs associated with the examination of firearm purchase applications. They finance the verification of supporting documents, assessment of compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and control of firearm traceability. The collection of this revenue is managed by the Directorate of Political Affairs of MINAT, which determines the amount and oversees its administrative monitoring. Upon payment, an official receipt is issued to the applicant. This receipt serves as the legal proof of payment and is a prerequisite for the continuation of the authorization process for firearm purchase.
