Circular 39/2022/TT-BTC clearly states the fee for assessment, granting and renewing the Certificate of eligibility for business is 150 million VND.
Fees for re-appraisal, re-issue, and adjustment of business eligibility certificates are 5 million VND.
Fees for appraisal of the grant, re-issuance, adjustment, and extension of business eligibility certificates according to the above provisions shall be collected from the central budget.

After receiving the Ministry of Finance’s notice, the enterprise is responsible for paying the fee to the state budget. Enterprises may only be granted, re-issued, adjusted, and extended Business Eligibility Certificates after they have paid the fees to the state budget.
Financial management of the business
The Circular stipulates that prize-winning electronic game businesses must separately record revenues, expenses, and profits related to the prize-winning video game business and separately track these items on the accounting and financial reporting system.

The object of the price reduction is a player who purchases a fiat currency with a minimum value of $50,000 (USD)/time.
Enterprises are entitled to deduct taxable revenue in accordance with tax laws. The method of determining tax to be deducted shall comply with the provisions of the tax law.
Enterprises must notify the tax authority directly managing the discount policy.
