4. The payment shall be calculated, using the following formula:

Map. = [(Ia. + Iap. + Isl. + K + N) : Aap.] x (1 + R), where

Map. - payment;

Ia. - the foreseeable administrative costs for one calendar year;

16. Profit from the provision of the service of disposal of hazardous waste in percentage may not exceed profitability in the amount of 10%, which has been calculated in percentage from the costs of the provision of the service.

17. If the forecasted indicators of amount used for calculating the payment in effect change by 10% or the forecasted costs included in the calculation of the payment in effect change by 5%, the service provider shall submit a new payment project to the Ministry, which has been calculated on the basis of an adjusted quantity of hazardous waste disposed of and the costs related thereto.
