Draft Circular stipulates that Vietnam Internet Center is assigned the task of declaration, collection, remittance, management, and use of fees and charges in accordance with the relevant regulations.
Compared to Circular 189/2010/TT-BTC, the fee collection level proposed in the Draft Circular decreases by 25% to 27%. Specifically, the domain name name.vn and Vietnamese domain names remain at the same collection level. To be specific:

Additionally, the Draft Circular proposes reducing the maintenance fees for the use of the ".vn" domain name for Other second-level domains and Third-level domains under shared second-level domains. However, the maintenance fee for Vietnamese domain names will still be 20,000 VND, and there is no longer a regulation for collecting maintenance fees for third-level domains under second-level domains registered by different organizations or individuals.
Unlike the regulation proposed to reduce some types of fees for domain names, the Draft Circular adjusts to increase the collection level for internet address fees.
It is expected that this Circular will take effect from January 1, 2017, replacing Circular 189/2010/TT-BTC
