Persons who have not made the declarations required of them in terms of tax or social security or who have not paid the taxes, levies, contributions or social security contributions due are excluded from the contract award procedure. The list of these taxes, levies, contributions or social security contributions is set by an order of the Minister for the Economy appended to this code.
This exclusion does not apply to persons who, before the date on which the purchaser decides on the admissibility of their application, have, in the absence of any enforcement measure by the accounting officer or the body responsible for collection, paid the said taxes, contributions and levies or provided guarantees deemed to be due, or, failing that, have entered into and comply with a binding agreement with the bodies responsible for collection with a view to paying the taxes, contributions or levies, together with any accrued interest, penalties or fines.
