The document of the Ministry of Finance stated that, in the past, the government has issued a number of decrees stipulating the functions, tasks, and organizational structure of ministries and ministerial-level agencies.

There has been a change in the organizational structure as well as the names of a number of units tasked with collecting fees and charges under ministries and ministerial-level agencies.

To ensure synchronization and consistency between the names of fee and fee collection organizations specified in the Circulars on Fee and Fee Collection and summarize problems and inadequacies during the implementation of the collection of fees and charges.

The Ministry of Finance requests ministries and ministerial-level agencies to:

- Review regulations in decrees on structure, organization, and specialized legal documents on service provision, comparing them with circulars on the collection of fees and charges in the field of management

In case there are inadequacies or overlaps that need to be amended and supplemented with circulars on the collection of fees and charges, a project shall be prepared to assess the implementation of these circulars on the collection of fees and charges (provide data on the collection and expenditure of fees for the last 3 years and propose to adjust the appropriate retention rate) according to the provisions of Article 20 of the Law on Fees and Charges.

On that basis, register the circulars on the collection of fees and charges that need to be amended, supplemented, or promulgated in 2024 and send them to the Ministry of Finance for inclusion in the Ministry of Finance's annual work program.

- Review and amend the name of the fee-collecting organization as specified in the Circulars on Fee and Charge Collection to ensure synchronization with the name of the fee-collecting organizations that are units of ministries and ministerial-level agencies as amended in the Decrees on Functions, Tasks, and Organizational Structure of Ministries and Ministerial-Level Agencies.

Proposals should be sent to the Ministry of Finance before September 15, 2023, for the Ministry of Finance to develop the annual work program as planned.
