The declarations which, in conformity with the regulations of the
Orders Service are added to the order (cheque) by the Drawer,
especially such as the declaration by which a third person is
designated as Receiver of the sums assigned, or by which commissions
are given for the issuing of post-office orders or the retiring of
bills, etc.; also the authorisations for the Post Office Savings Bank
and the receipt-vouchers, reciprocally given by the Post Office Savings
Bank Office and participants, are free from stamp duty and taxation.
In like manner the extracts forwarded to parties from their accounts
are free from stamp duty and taxation.
In respect of sums received in current account by the Post Office
Savings Bank, the payment of the percentage tax fixed by the Law of
February 29^{th} 1864, § 7, paragraph 2 (R. G. Bl. N^o 20) does not
operate.
§ 9.
For the use of the Orders' (Cheque and Clearing) Service the Post
Office is to impose special fees.
In addition to the already existing fees and repayment of the cost
price of printed matter supplied to parties interested, the Government
is empowered to impose to the amount stated below the following fees:
1. A record-fee of 2 kreutzers for each official act with reference to
the account (Deposit, Assignment, Entry to credit or debit).
2. A commission up to the maximum of 1/4 the thousand on the paying out
side of the account (Entering to the debit). These fees are to be taken
by the Post Office Savings Bank deducting them from the account.
§ 10.
For the Orders' (Cheque and Clearing) Service, a special Reserve fund
is to be formed, which is primarily intended to cover possible losses
which may result from the service.
This Reserve fund is to be formed from what remains of the surpluses
at the close of the administrative year after deduction resulting from
the possible deficit in the Savings Service.
This allotment of the surpluses is to continue as long as the Reserve
fund designated has not reached the point of 5 per cent of what remains
of the deposit capital in the Orders' (Cheque and Clearing) Service, at
the close of the year, after deduction of the payments back.
The money of the Reserve fund formed for the Orders' (Cheque
and Clearing) Service is to be placed out at interest under the
restrictions of § 7 as to the nature of such arrangements, and the
produce accruing from time to time, is to be added to the Reserve until
it has reached the abovementioned point.
The Reserve fund having reached this point, the whole of the profits
on the business done in the Orders' (Cheque and Clearing) Service will
accrue as receipts to the Postal Revenue.
To what remains the determinations of Article 4 of the Law of May
28^{th} 1882 (R. G. Bl. N^o 56) understood in conformity with their
sense will apply.
§ 11.
