I. APPLICATION SCOPE AND SUBJECTS
1. Application scope:
This Circular applies to border-gate economic zones (hereinafter called border-gate EZs for short), which are established under the Prime Minister's decisions and managed by provincial-level People's Committees.
With regard to centrally-run border-gate EZs established under separate decisions of the Prime Minister, the applicable financial regime shall comply with separate guiding circulars of the Finance Ministry.

2.2. Domestic and foreign investors conducting business activities (including infrastructure construction, production, trading and provision of services) in border-gate EZs;
2.3. Business activities conducted within border-gate EZs.
Domestic and foreign investors that conduct business activities in border-gate EZs without establishing economic legal entities therein must account separately such business activities in order to have a ground for determination of preferences.
3. Interpretation of terms
- Tax suspension areas mean those in border-gate EZs, which are established according to the provisions of Clause 1, Article 1 of the Prime Minister's Decision No. 273/2005/QD-TTg of October 31, 2005.
- Inland Vietnam includes the remaining part of border-gate EZs besides tax suspension areas and the remaining part of the Vietnamese territory (except for the areas similar to non-tariff areas defined in Clause 1, Article 5 of June 14, 2005 Import Tax and Export Tax Law No. 45/2005/QH11 and Clause 2, Article 1 of the Government's Decree No. 149/2005/ND-CP of December 8, 2005, detailing the implementation of this Law).

- The central budget capital provided as targeted support for provincial budgets to invest in infrastructures of border-gate EZs shall be identified in the state budget estimates assigned to localities.
- The border-gate EZ management boards or provincial-level People's Committees (in localities without such management boards) being the major planning bodies of localities shall be provided with targeted additional capital construction capital from the central budget for infrastructure construction in border-gate EZs; and shall be entitled to invest in infrastructure construction with state budget capital within border-gate EZs according to the State's current regulations on investment and construction management, if they are investors directly managing infrastructure construction investment projects.
