(2) The Association shall keep and on request produce to the Inspector General of Police an Index showing the date and number of each fiscal permit and particulars adequate for the identification of the vehicle in respect whereof the same is issued and of the owner thereof.
4. There shall be payable for a fiscal permit a fee of $5 and such fee shall be paid to the Inspector General of Police. No fiscal permit shall be issued until the applicant shall have produced to the Association a receipt for the fee payable therefor.
5. The Association shall in regard to the issue or modi- fication of fiscal permits comply in all respects with the re- quirements of the Convention.
6. A fiscal permit shall be valid for one year from the date of its issue and shall be in the form approved by the Inspector General of Police.
7.—(1) Any person making only a temporary stay in the Colony who brings a motor vehicle (other than a vehicle used for the carriage of passengers for hire or reward or for the conveyance of goods) into the Colony and who is in possession of a valid fiscal permit in respect of such vehicle and who desires to claim the benefit of the exemptions provided in the Convention shall present the fiscal permit to the Inspector General of Police for endorsement on arrival in and before departure from the Colony. No charge shall be made for such endorsement.
(2) When a vehicle which has entered the Colony under cover of a fiscal permit leaves the Colony without an endorse- ment made by the Inspector General of Police having been made on the permit and without its being possible to establish the date of exit, that permit may be treated in the Colony as having no further validity.
8.--(1) A motor vehicle in respect whereof a valid fiscal permit has been duly endorsed on arrival in the Colony shall, subject to due compliance in respect thereof with the terms of the Convention, be exempted from the payment of the fees prescribed for licences under the Ordinance.
(2) The foregoing exemption does not extend to include any taxes or charges on consumption.
(3) The foregoing exemption extends for one or more periods of stay in the Colony totalling in all not more than ninety days within a period of one year from the date of the issue of the permit.
(4) For the purpose of calculating the period of exemp- tion, each day shall be reckoned from midnight to midnight and every fraction of a day shall count as a whole day. The day of exit shall not be counted when the day of entry and the day of exit are separated by more than one day.
(5) In calculating the fees payable for any part of the stay which may be in excess of the period of exemption, treatment shall be accorded not less favourable than that granted in respect of vehicles licensed in the Colony for periods of less than one year.
