Estimated fee for granting Real Estate Brokerage Practice Certificate is 300,000 VND/certificate

The Ministry of Finance said that the issuance of the Circular regulating the collection levels, collection and payment regime of fees for granting and re-granting Real Estate Brokerage Practice Certificates aims to ensure consistency and uniformity with the law on real estate business, the law on fees, charges and the state budget.

Fee collection level

The Ministry of Finance said that the Ministry of Construction provided information that the cost to issue a certificate is 307,991 VND/application for an individual.

The fee level proposed by the Ministry of Construction (VND 300,000/certificate for new issuance and VND 200,000/certificate for re-issuance) is equivalent to the fee level for issuing practice certificates in other fields that have been issued recently. For example: Issuing practice certificates for archiving: VND 300,000/certificate; re-issuing practice certificates for archiving: VND 200,000/certificate.

According to Article 9 of the Law on Fees and Charges, the fee collection level is not intended to offset costs.

Therefore, based on the proposal of the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Finance estimates the fee for granting and re-granting Real Estate Brokerage Practice Certificates as follows:

Real estate brokerage practice certificate: 300,000 VND/certificate.

Re-issuance of Real Estate Brokerage Certificate: VND 200,000/certificate.

In case of re-issuance of Real Estate Brokerage Practice Certificate due to the fault of a state agency or due to change of administrative unit boundaries according to regulations of competent authorities, it is not required to pay the fee for re-issuance of Real Estate Brokerage Practice Certificate according to the provisions of this Circular.

On declaration, collection and payment of fees

According to the Ministry of Finance, Circular No. 74/2022/TT-BTC dated December 22, 2022 of the Minister of Finance stipulates the form, time limit for collection, payment, and declaration of fees and charges under the authority of the Ministry of Finance. In particular, it specifically stipulates the form of declaration and payment of fees and charges by the collection organization and the fee and charge payer for fees and charges under the authority of the Ministry of Finance. Currently, the Circulars on fee collection all refer to the declaration and payment of fees according to the provisions of Circular No. 74/2022/TT-BTC.

The State Budget Law 2025 (effective from January 1, 2026) stipulates that the scope of the State Budget includes all fees and charges implemented by state agencies. Accordingly, between Circular No. 74/2022/TT-BTC and the State Budget Law 2025, there are some contents on declaration and payment of fees and charges that are not consistent. Currently, the Ministry of Finance has researched and included all the contents of Circular No. 74/2022/TT-BTC in the Decree replacing Decree No. 120/2016/ND-CP, Decree No. 82/2023/ND-CP and is expected to abolish Circular No. 74/2022/TT-BTC to ensure legality and uniform application of fees and charges.

To ensure consistency and convenience in the implementation process and not depend on the amendment or abolition of Circular No. 74/2022/TT-BTC, the Ministry of Finance plans to stipulate the content of declaration, collection and payment of specific fees in Article 5 of the draft Circular as follows:

Fee payers shall pay fees when carrying out procedures for granting or re-granting Real Estate Brokerage Practice Certificates to fee-collecting organizations in one of the following forms:

Pay fees in non-cash form into the fee collection account of the fee collection organization opened at a credit institution or into the state budget fee collection account of the fee collection organization opened at the State Treasury.

Paying fees through the account of the agency or organization receiving the money is different from the fee-collecting organization (applicable to cases of performing administrative procedures and providing online public services according to the Government 's regulations on implementing the one-stop, one-stop mechanism in handling administrative procedures). Within 24 hours from the time of receiving the fee, the agency or organization receiving the money must transfer all collected fees to the fee-collecting account of the fee-collecting organization opened at a credit institution or pay all collected fees to the state budget.

Pay the fee in cash to the fee collection organization.

The fee collection organization shall pay 100% of the collected fee amount to the state budget, including interest (if any) on the relevant account balance during the fee collection process according to the chapters and sub-items of the current State Budget Directory. The source of expenses for fee collection is allocated by the state budget in the fee collection organization's estimate according to the state budget expenditure regime and norms as prescribed by law. The fee collection organization shall declare, collect and pay fees according to the provisions of the law on tax administration.
