LETTER

OF THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE NUMBER 8952 TC/TCT DATED AUGUST 15, 2002
REGARDING EXEMPTION FROM PAYMENT OF LAND USE FEE FOR CONSTRUCTION OF HIGH-RISE APARTMENTS
HIGH-RISE APARTMENT BUILDING

 

TO: PROVINCE AND CITY TAX AUTHORITIES UNDER THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT

 

Currently, some localities and units encounter difficulties in implementing the exemption from payment of land use fee (LUF) for constructing high-rise apartments when applying Decree No. 71/2001/NĐ-CP dated October 5, 2001 of the Government on preferential investment in housing construction for sale or lease; after receiving comments from the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Planning and Investment, and the General Department of Land Administration, the Ministry of Finance provides guidance as follows:

When implementing a project, the investor must comply with detailed planning approved for each type of land such as: residential land, traffic land, construction land for public facilities… to determine which types of land require payment of LUF or are exempt from it.

Article 2 of Decree No. 71/2001/NĐ-CP cited above stipulates that housing projects shall be granted preferential conditions:…

"1. High-rise residential projects (5 floors or more in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, 3 floors or more in other provinces and cities); with a closed apartment structure, common staircases and corridors…

2. Housing projects where the proportion of land used for high-rise apartments is at least 60% of the total construction land area."

Based on the above provisions, for housing projects to construct high-rise apartments for sale or lease, if there are no other types of residential buildings and if they meet the conditions specified in Clause 1, Article 2 of Decree No. 71/2001/NĐ-CP cited above, then the entire land area used for constructing high-rise apartments (including unused areas and pathways within the project) shall be exempt from LUF.

For projects that construct both high-rise apartments and other types of residential buildings (detached houses, villas, garden houses…), if they meet the two conditions specified in Article 2 of Decree No. 71/2001/NĐ-CP cited above, then LUF shall be exempt for the land area used to construct high-rise apartments (including unused areas and pathways within the high-rise apartment complex) and reduced by 50% for other residential buildings' construction land area (including unused areas) within the project's approved scope.

The above exemptions and reductions in LUF shall be applied to housing projects for sale or lease that are approved by competent authorities after Decree No. 71/2001/NĐ-CP cited above comes into effect. For cases where a project was approved before the effective date of Decree No. 71/2001/NĐ-CP, if it received preferential treatment on LUF under Decree No. 51/1999/NĐ-CP dated July 8, 1999 of the Government, such preferences shall continue to apply for the remaining duration of the project.

Provincial and city tax authorities under the central government shall implement exemptions and reductions in LUF for units within their jurisdiction based on current land use fee collection regulations and the guidance provided above.
