The owner is not clear about the purpose of payment.
Whether to pay vehicle tolls (commonly known as annual tickets) has become a hesitant issue for many Zhuhai car owners every year. Since 20 12, enthusiastic car owners have taken the relevant departments that collect annual tickets to court, and this issue has become a hot topic every year. At the beginning of this year, with the approval of Guangdong Provincial Department of Transportation and Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Zhuhai's 20 15 vehicle toll collection standard was implemented according to the relevant provisions of 20 14, in which the private non-operating passenger car payment standard was 1080 yuan per year, and the preferential period was 900 yuan.
At the same time, Zhuhai Traffic Enforcement Bureau issued a reminder notice saying that those who fail to pay within the time limit will be recovered. It caused a heated discussion on the Internet for a time. Some netizens said that the concept of vehicle tolls is not clear and they don't understand the specific use of annual fees. Therefore, they refuse to pay, and if they will be recovered, they will also safeguard their legitimate rights and interests. Some netizens also believe that the legality of the annual ticket should be discussed first, and then the issue of whether to withdraw it should be discussed. "If it is illegal, how to recover? If it is illegal, will the road and bridge fees paid by most owners be refunded? If it is legal, it can only be enforced according to law, because who is the boss can only listen to who. "
Responding to the annual ticket is a legal fee.
"National vehicle tolls are legal administrative fees and have been strictly examined and approved by governments at all levels." The relevant person in charge of Zhuhai Road and Bridge Management Office explained that whether to collect or not, the charging standards are reviewed by eight departments including the Provincial Development and Reform Commission and can only be implemented after being approved by the provincial government. Guangdong annual ticket started earlier and has always been an important platform for transportation financing. Car owners who appeal because they question the legality of toll approval only represent the views of a very small number of people. "It's really unfair that we can't collect the fees paid by more than 300,000 car owners in Zhuhai every year." The person in charge admitted that the recovery from April will definitely require great efforts, but the relevant departments will resolutely continue with strong measures until success.
Earlier, there was news on the Internet that the annual ticket in Dongguan was charged illegally. The above-mentioned person in charge believes that Dongguan's "illegality" is only due to the annual review, and there is no problem with the annual ticket itself. Compared with neighboring cities, Zhuhai's annual ticket fee has been higher. The person in charge also said that each city has its own actual situation. Zhuhai's charging standard was approved by the Provincial Price Bureau after hearing. It is slightly higher than other cities for historical reasons, but it has dropped from more than 3,000 yuan at the beginning to 900 yuan now.
Zhuhai car owners who have brought the relevant departments to court said that the roads that Zhuhai cars rarely take, such as Gaolan and Airport Expressway, are also included in the annual ticket charging basis. "This is very unreasonable!" The person in charge of Zhuhai Luqiao Management Office explained that the annual ticket system is a system, just like the Banzhangshan tunnel fee in Zhuhai, the vehicles in the western region are rarely used. The provincial government approved these two expressways, giving full consideration to the needs of social and economic development in the western region. "It is normal to have different opinions, but it cannot be used as a reason to oppose the annual ticket or even not pay the fee. No decision can satisfy all citizens. " The person in charge said that since the provincial government approved it, it is a legal and reasonable charge.
