After consulting with the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Planning and Investment, the Ministry of Finance hereby guides the regime on the collection and remittance as well as the management of the use of investment evaluation fees as follows:
I. FEE PAYERS AND COLLECTION LEVELS:

For investment projects which are prescribed to have their investment projects, technical designs and total cost estimates evaluated by competent State bodies, the investors shall have to pay evaluation fees according to the provisions in this Circular.
2. The levels of fees for evaluation of investment projects, technical designs and total cost estimates (collectively called investment evaluation fees) are set in the Table of fee levels issued together with this Circular and apply according to the following provisions:
a/ For investment projects which, according to regulations, must be evaluated by the competent State bodies but such State bodies have no adequate conditions to conduct the evaluation and have to hire evaluation experts and consultants, the expenses for hiring of evaluation experts and consultants shall comply with the regulations of the Ministry of Construction. In this case, the State bodies shall be allowed to collect only 50% (fifty percent) of the relevant fee levels set in the Table of fee levels issued together with this Circular.

The investment project evaluation fee | = | The approved total investment amount | x | The fee level |
The technical design evaluation fee | = | The estimated construction and installation value in the approved total investment amount | x | The fee level |
The total cost estimate evaluation fee | = | The estimated construction and installation value in the approved total investment amount | x | The fee level |
Where a group of works is of a value falling between the works’ values inscribed in the Table of investment evaluation fee levels, the collectible fee shall be calculated according to the following interpolative method:
Nit | = | Nib - | Nib - Nia | x | ( Git – Gib ) | ||
Gia - Gib |
of which:
+ Nit is the evaluation fee that needs to be calculated for the ith group of projects according to their value (calculation unit: %)
+ Gia is the value of the ith group of projects for which the evaluation fee needs to be calculated (calculation unit: the work’s value).
+ Gia is the higher value closest to the value for which the evaluation fee needs to be calculated (calculation unit: the work’s value).
+ Gib is the lower value closest to the value for which the evaluation fee needs to be calculated (calculation unit: the work’s value).
+ Nia is the evaluation fee for the ith group of projects corresponding to Gia (calculation unit: %).
+ Nib is the evaluation fee for the ith group of projects corresponding to Gia (calculation unit: %).
b/ The investment evaluation fee amount to be collected for an investment project shall be determined under the guidance at Item a of this point but shall not exceed:
+ VND 50,000,000 (fifty million)/project, for investment project evaluation fees.
+ VND 114,000,000 (one hundred fourteen million)/project, for technical design or total cost estimate evaluation fees.
In special cases, the Ministry of Finance shall consider and decide the investment evaluation fee amount for each specific project.
c/ For works using typical designs or identical designs, the collectible investment evaluation fee amount shall be equal to (=) the result achieved by multiplying (x) the investment evaluation fee amount calculated according to the provision at Items a and b of this point by the following co-efficient:
- For works using typical designs:
+ First works (or work items): co-efficient 0.36;
