Voters recommended that the Ministry of Finance consider submitting to the Government to exempt health certificate fees for people; adjust contract fees according to asset value.
The Ministry of Finance has issued a document responding to the petition of voters in Ninh Binh province sent before the 10th Session of the 15th National Assembly.
Accordingly, voters recommended that the Ministry of Finance consider submitting to the Government to exempt health certificate fees for people; adjust contract fees according to asset value.
Regarding this content, Minister of Finance Nguyen Van Thang said that at point 4, section XII, part A of the fee and charge portfolio issued with the Law on Fees and Fees, the clause "Certificate fee ( Certificate of copy from the original, certificate fee for signature, transaction contract certification fee)" is under the authority of the Ministry of Finance. The law on fees and charges does not stipulate the "medical certificate fee" and "contract fee".
"I request the National Assembly delegation of Ninh Binh province to discuss specifically with voters about the content of this petition so that the Ministry of Finance has full information to answer specifically" - Minister of Finance Nguyen Van Thang stated.
Clause 4, Article 20 of the Law on Fees and Charges also stipulates the responsibilities of the Ministries such as: Requesting the Government or the Ministry of Finance on the collection, payment, exemption, reduction, management and use of each fee and charge in the management of the industry or field.
