Note: A.Preliminary remark: The Protectorate does not have any legal basis in which the principles governing the administration of public finances are laid down. Whereas the rules on budgetary management in the Protectorate have so far been published in the annual so-called "Fi n a n z g e= s e t z", the scope of which is limited to the current financial year; whereas the continuous repetition of the legal and administrative principles is superfluous; In its letter concerning the approval of the budget estimates for 1942 of 20 October 1942 - II/7-3006-1, the Reichsguardor therefore asked the Ministry of Finance to lay down some of the budgetary provisions in a regulation whose validity is limited in time.

In the context of the Order of the Lord Reich Protector on the orientation of the Reich and autonomous administration to the total war (Note to the Decree of 23 March 1943 - I 1 d - 6120 - Section VII b). It summarizes the most important general budget = budgetary provisions and should already apply to the budget = year 1943. The Finance Act 1943, whereby the budget is to be entered into force for the 1st year, may therefore be limited to the provisions which have no meaning for 1943.
