According to Clause 52 Article 1 of the Law on amendments to Construction Law 2020 of Vietnam, the entity responsible for payment and settlement for construction investment projects is prescribed as following:
The payment and settlement for construction investment projects must comply with the Law on management of investment capital. The payment and settlement for projects using public investment funds shall comply with regulations laid down herein and the Law on public investment. Project owners shall take responsibility before law for the accuracy and lawfulness of unit prices, volumes and values requested for payment or settlement in payment or settlement dossiers.
According to Clause 1 Article 137 of the Construction Law 2014 of Vietnam:
The payment and settlement for construction investment projects must comply with the law on management of investment capital. Project owners or their lawful representatives shall take responsibility before law for the accuracy and lawfulness of unit prices, volumes and values requested for payment in payment dossiers.
It can be seen that according to the previous provision, project owners or their lawful representatives shall take responsibility before law for the accuracy and lawfulness of unit prices, volumes and values requested for payment in payment dossiers. However, according to current regulation, the Law on amendments to Construction Law 2020 of Vietnam has eliminated lawful representatives of project owners. Thus, the project owner is the only entity responsible for payment and settlement for construction investment projects.
