Market Inspectors' Authority to Sanction Enterprises Without Business Licenses Selling Gold Bars

Our company is engaged in the business of buying and selling gold. However, on August 7, we were inspected by the local market inspector who discovered that the company did not have a license to trade in gold bullion. I would like to ask if, in our company's case, the market inspector has the authority to impose a penalty? Under what regulation is this stipulated?

According to Clause 2, Article 55 of Decree 88/2019/ND-CP stipulating the authority to impose administrative penalties of the Market Management Agency:

Market controllers shall impose penalties for administrative violations specified in Clause 1, Article 23, and Clause 1, Article 24 of this Decree;

Referring to Clause 1, Article 24 of this Decree, the following violations shall be subject to a warning penalty:

- Buying or selling gold bars with credit institutions or enterprises without a Gold Bar Trading License;

- Using gold as a means of payment.

Thus, in the case that your enterprise does not have a Gold Bar Trading License, the market controller has the authority to impose penalties according to current regulations.

Respectfully!
