§ 21 SächsDSG
Levying of fees
(1)1Without prejudice to Article 57(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the Saxon Data Protection Commissioner may levy fees and expenses for official acts and other services under public law pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the Federal Data Protection Act. 2The fees shall accrue to the Free State of Saxony.
(2)1The state government is authorised to determine the fee-liable matters and fee rates in agreement with the Saxon Data Protection Commissioner by statutory instrument. 2For official acts and other services under public law pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the Federal Data Protection Act that are not included in a statutory instrument pursuant to sentence 1, an administrative fee shall be levied, which shall be assessed according to comparable official acts evaluated in the statutory instrument. 3In the absence of a comparable official act, an administrative fee of between 5 and 25,000 euros shall be levied.
(3)1Fees for investigations pursuant to Article 57(1)(f) and (h) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 shall only be levied where a violation of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the Federal Data Protection Act or another data protection provision is established. 2Investigations or consultations of a simple nature and the consultation of non-public bodies without a profit-making purpose shall be free of charge.
(4)The amount of the administrative fee shall be determined based on the administrative effort and the significance of the matter for the parties involved.
(5)1The Saxon Data Protection Commissioner shall decide on his or her own responsibility on the reduction or exemption from fees, insofar as this is required for reasons of equity or in the public interest. 2In all other respects, Section 3(4) to (6), Section 7(1), (2) and (4), Sections 9, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17(1) sentence 6, (3) to (5), Sections 18, 19, 21 to 24 of the Saxon Administrative Costs Act of 5 April 2019 (SächsGVBl. p. 245), as amended from time to time, shall apply accordingly.2
