Payment of administrative fines in 2018: Is it now considered as having not been administratively penalized?
Article 7 of the 2012 Law on Handling Administrative Violations stipulates the period considered as not having been administratively penalized as follows:
Individuals or organizations that are administratively penalized, if within 06 months from the date of completing the decision to penalize by warning, or within 01 year from the date of completing the decision for other administrative penalties or from the expiry date of the time limit for executing the decision to penalize administrative violations without recidivism, shall be considered as not having been administratively penalized.
Individuals subject to administrative handling measures, if within 02 years from the date of completing the decision to apply administrative handling measures or 01 year from the expiry date of the time limit for executing the decision to apply administrative handling measures without recidivism, shall be considered as not having been subjected to administrative handling measures.
According to the aforementioned regulation, if you are fined, then after 01 year from the date of completing the decision to fine or from the expiry date of the time limit for executing the decision to penalize administrative violations without recidivism, you shall be considered as not having been administratively penalized.
=> Therefore, if you were fined in 2018, complied with the penalty decision without recidivism, then currently (2021), you are considered as not having been administratively penalized.
Best regards!
