The Ministry of Finance has just issued Circular No. 59/2016/TT-BTC stipulating the rate of collection, payment policies, and the management and use of fees and charges applied at inland waterway ports and landing stages.
The management and use of fees and charges at inland waterway ports and wharves are implemented as follows:
- Registration, declaration, and payment of fees and charges into the state budget (NSNN) comply with the provisions of Circular 156/2013/TT-BTC.
- The fee-collecting agency is responsible for submitting 100% of the total collected fees to the NSNN.
+ For inland waterway port authorities (including cases where the competent authority assigns and authorizes), 100% of the collected fees are retained to cover the operating costs of the fee-collecting agency.
+ For maritime port authorities (including cases where the competent authority assigns and authorizes), 50% of the collected fees are retained to cover the operating costs of the agency, and the remainder is submitted to the NSNN.
+ Other agencies authorized to manage inland waterway ports and wharves are allowed to retain 100% of the collected fees to cover the operating costs of the fee-collecting agency.
Simultaneously, this Circular specifies the rates of fees and charges applied at inland waterway ports and wharves.
Circular 59/2016/TT-BTC takes effect from May 16, 2016, and replaces Circular 177/2012/TT-BTC.
