Art. 4. To determine the net dependant expenses of the Fund to be taken into account in setting the overall rate of assessment referred to in section 5, paragraph 2, the following revenues of the Fund are deducted from the expenditures defined in section 3:
(a) the pension quotas established in accordance with the Act of 14 April 1965 referred to above and relating to services provided in a non-staffed manner other than those referred to in article 3, paragraph 3, (a) or (b) for the dependants of the Fund;

(f) recoveries that have been paid unduly, as well as fines and late interest.
Art. 5. The Fund is powered by the product of a global contribution with a personal contribution and a employer contribution.
The overall rate of assessment is equal to the ratio, expressed as a percentage, between the estimated net dependant expenses of the Fund for the year in question, and the estimated amount, for that same year, of the payroll of the members of the police services who have been the subject of a final appointment or of an appointment assimilated by or under the Act, on which personal and employer contributions are paid.
The rate of personal contribution is that set out in section 60 of the Act of 15 May 1984, which provides for harmonization measures in pension plans. This assessment is based on the salaries of the police service personnel referred to in paragraph 2, as well as other elements of their remuneration for the calculation of their retirement pension.
The rate of the employer contribution supported by the police services is equal to the difference between the rate of the overall contribution and the rate of the personal contribution. This employer contribution is based on the same compensation elements as defined in paragraph 3.
By derogation from paragraph 2, the overall contribution rate is 27.5 per cent and remains at that percentage as long as the proceeds of the overall contribution are sufficient to cover the net dependant expenses of the Fund.
If the rate that results from the application of section 161, paragraph 5, of the New communal law is increased and the estimated proceeds of the overall contribution exceed the estimated amount of the net dependant expenses of the Fund, the King may, after notice of the Commission referred to in section 8, increase the overall rate of assessment referred to in paragraph 5.
Where the estimated net dependant expenses of the Fund exceed the estimated product of the aggregate contribution of 27.5 per cent or the percentage resulting from the application of paragraph 6, the King shall determine, after the Commission's opinion under section 8, the new overall rate of assessment required to cover these expenses and the date on which the new rate of assessment will apply.
Where, over a specified year, there are differences between the actual amounts of the net dependant expenses of the Fund or the proceeds of the total contribution and the estimated amounts, the surplus or foreseeable deficit shall be taken into account to adapt the overall rate of assessment of the current year or to determine that of the following year.
The rate established pursuant to paragraphs 6 to 8 shall be communicated to the police no later than 1^er October of the year before the year in question or, in the event of a change in the year, at least three months before the date on which the new rate will be applicable.
Art. 6. § 1. With respect to federal police personnel and the general inspection of the federal police and local police, the proceeds of the personal and employer contributions referred to in section 5 are paid by the Treasury to the Pension Administration and are assigned to the Fund. This payment is made at the time the treatment is liquidated to the individual.
The provisions of Article 61bis , §§ 2 and 3, of the Act of 15 May 1984 referred to above shall apply to contributions referred to in paragraph 1^er.
§ 2. For members of local police personnel, the proceeds of personal and employer contributions referred to in section 5 are paid to the O.N.S.S.A.P.L. by the agency that ensures payment of their salaries.
The amounts due under paragraph 1^er are considered pension contributions referred to in section 1^er, f) of the royal decree of 25 October 1985 referred to above. The provisions of chapters I, II, V, VI and VII of the Order shall apply to those amounts.
The provisions of Article 6, paragraph 1^er and 3 of the law of 1^er August 1985 with social provisions are applicable to contributions referred to in paragraph 1^er.
Income from subparagraphs 1^er and 2 are allocated to the Fund and paid by the O.N.S.S.A.P.L. to the Fund no later than the fifth business day following their perception by the O.N.S.A.P.L. This payment shall be made after deduction of the administrative costs defined in section 3, paragraph 3, (g) .
§ 3. With respect to the staff of the local police, the deduction on the holiday toll provided for by the Royal Decree of 30 January 1979 on the granting of a holiday to the officers of the general administration of the Kingdom, made applicable to members of the police personnel by Article XI. III. 4. of the Royal Decree of 30 March 2001 concerning the legal position of police personnel, is paid to the O.N.S.A.P.L. by the body that ensures the payment of the holiday toll to this staff.
The provisions of § 2, paragraphs 2 and 3, shall apply to the deduction referred to in paragraph 1^er.
The King shall, after notice of the Commission referred to in section 8, establish the allocation of the proceeds of the deduction referred to in paragraph 1^er.
Art. 7. As long as the overall contribution rate defined in section 5, paragraph 2, is less than that provided for in section 5, paragraph 5, or, where applicable, the balance available to the Fund is allocated to the dependants of the following entities:
1° the Treasury;
2° the common pension plan for local authorities referred to in Article 1^er(c) the Act of 6 August 1993 on the pensions of locally appointed staff;

Advances made by the Pension Administration, after notice by the Board referred to in section 8, are paid monthly to the various entities referred to in paragraph 1^er. These advances are based on the predictable amount of the available balance that will be due to the entity concerned for the year in question and may at any time be appropriate, taking into account new elements that have occurred since the determination of the amount of these advances and the real evolution of the Fund's revenues and expenditures during the same period. These advances are paid by the Fund to the entity concerned no later than the fifth business day that follows the day the proceeds of personal and employer contributions came to the Fund.
