Telšiai sets commercial-event levies up to €300 per day

Organisers of commercial events on Telšiai district public land, local roads and streets face a local levy for the permitE TAR, payable before the permit is issuedE TAR. The payer is any natural or legal person organising such eventsE TAR, and the levy accrues to the Savivaldybė budget. A commercial event is one with paid entry or held for financial gainE TAR, including sales of goods, services or products on site, typically with paid spectator entry or an advertising character.

The venue table sets hourly and daily amounts. At Zakso kalnas and the Masčio and Germanto lake shores the levy is EUR 45 per hour and EUR 300 per dayE TARE TAR. At other Telšiai city public places, local roads and streets it is EUR 30 per hour and EUR 150 per dayE TAR. At other district public places, local roads and streets it is EUR 7 per hour and EUR 60 per dayE TAR. No separate levy applies for fencing off local roads or streets or restricting traffic there. The Savivaldybės taryba may index the amounts once a year where the annual consumer price index exceeds 110.

Duration runs from the start to the end stated in the permit, with a part-hour counted as a full hour. For an event lasting no more than one day the levy is charged at the hourly tariff, capped at the daily amountE TAR: where the hourly computation is lower the hourly sum is paid, and where it exceeds the daily amount the daily amount is paid. The daily levy for one day uses the venue's daily amountE TAR, and each further started day costs 50 percent of that venue's daily amountE TAR.

Permits are issued under the Savivaldybės administracijos direktorius order and events run under the Savivaldybės taryba event rules, only after payment by transfer, e-banking or cash at the stated points to the Savivaldybė account at Luminor Bank AS Lietuvos skyrius, No LT034010051006394097; no late-payment interest accrues and no permit issues without paymentE TAR. Only Savivaldybė public and budgetary bodies are exemptE TAR; no other relief applies. Overpayments, amounts paid where no permit was issued, and amounts paid under a permit issued in breach of the issuance requirements are refunded on a request giving the payer's name, payment date and amount, the refund ground and the bank account, within 30 calendar days of the refund decision. Records sit with the Buhalterinės apskaitos skyrius and collection is controlled by the Savivaldybės kontrolės ir audito tarnyba.
