Business registration fee collection level in 2023

Pursuant to Circular 85/2019/TT-BTC, the business registration fee is under the decision-making authority of the Provincial People's Council. In particular, the business registration fee is the amount collected when the competent state agency issues a business household registration certificate, a cooperative registration certificate, a cooperative union registration certificate (including the certificate of registration of branches, representative offices, and business locations of cooperatives and cooperative unions).

Thus, the level of business registration fees will be under the authority of the provincial People's Council, so each province will have its own regulations on this issue. This means that the level of business registration fees in different provinces may be different.

For example:

- The fee for business registration in Ho Chi Minh City is 100,000 VND/time/registration (according to Resolution 124/2016/NQ-HDND of Ho Chi Minh City People's Council)

- The fee for registering a business household in Hanoi is 100,000 VND/1 issuance (according to Resolution 06/2020/NQ-HDND of the Hanoi People's Council)
