What this is
The fees for the authorization to open a gun shop 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 related to the processing of applications, preliminary investigations, regulatory and security compliance checks, and the issuance of official authorizations to open gun shops. They ensure compliance, traceability, and legality of establishments specialized in the sale of firearms and ammunition, in accordance with national regulations on security and arms control. 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 effective issuance of the authorization to open the gun shop.
