The Council of Ministers issued Decision No. 203-HĐBT dated June 29, 1991, detailing the implementation of laws on business income tax, special consumption tax, and profit tax; Article 4 stipulates: "The Ministry of Finance shall be responsible for uniformly supervising the collection of various fees at all levels and establishing management regulations for their distribution and use... organizing the collection of certain types of large revenue-generating fees."

Article 2 of Decision No. 218-CT dated August 18, 1989 issued by the Chairman of the Council of Ministers stipulates: "Compulsory payments to the central foreign exchange fund include:... Fees from foreign aircraft flying over Vietnamese airspace."

The Chairman of the Council of Ministers' Directive No. 05-CT dated January 4, 1988 on urgent tasks to regain control of the Ho Chi Minh Flight Information Region (FIR) allowed the Civil Aviation General Department (now Vietnam Airlines Corporation) to retain all revenue from overflight services (fees from foreign aircraft flying through Vietnamese airspace) for three years (1988-1989-1990) to invest in restoring FIR infrastructure.

Pursuant to Directive No. 312-CT dated October 14, 1991 of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers on collecting overdue taxes and preventing tax evasion, pending further decisions by the Council of Ministers; the Ministry of Finance requests Vietnam Airlines Corporation to pay the entire amount of fees from foreign aircraft flying through Vietnamese airspace generated in 1991 to the state budget according to the following schedule:

Failure to comply with the payment deadlines set forth above will result in Vietnam Airlines Corporation being subject to penalties under Directive No. 312-CT dated October 14, 1991 of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers based on the severity of the violation.

The Ministry of Finance instructs the Department of Transportation and Posts and Telecommunications as well as the General Taxation Department to monitor and enforce collection in accordance with the spirit of this Circular.
