1| Vietnam General Confederation of Labour to issue Official dispatch No. 771/TLĐ on exemption from union fees

On July 29th, 2020, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour issued Official dispatch No. 771/TLĐ on exempt obligations to pay union fees for several qualified subjects impacted by Covid-19 pandemic, which takes effect on July 29th, 2020.

In particular, for union members whose income is lower than the base salary, during the period of receiving this income, do not have to pay the union fee.

Regarding the duration of such exemption, following the current situation, Vietnam has been effectively preventing epidemics, with incredible epidemic control and international recognition. Therefore, it is reasonable to believe that the epidemic will be under controlled at the end of 2020. Meanwhile, enterprises will have a relatively long time to remedy the influence of Covid-19. As the result, the General Confederation of Labour provides that the duration of such exemptions will last to the end of December 31st, 2020.

For enterprises that conduct many production and business activities, they are also considered one of the beneficiaries of this support  if only one of the production and business activity implemented in the land or parcel of land being directly leased by the State.

Regarding procedures to be benefited from this support, leasees need to submit a application dossier to request the reduction of land rent (by electronically or another regulatory method) for tax authorities, management of economic zones, hi – tech zones or other agencies as prescribed by law from August 10th, 2020 to December 31st,2020. The dossier will be considered within 20 days. After that, if a subject is eligible to enjoy supports, tax authorities, Management of Economic zones or Hi – tech zones, etc. will determine the amount of rent to be reduced and promulgate a decision to reduce land rent according to the provisions of the law on collection of land rent.
