By the 25th of each month at the latest, the remainder (70%) shall be remitted by collecting agencies into the state budget custody fund according to current regulations on management of the state budget custody funds at overseas Vietnamese representations.
3. The Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs is entitled to use 30% of collected paper verification charge amount (constituting its non-business revenue source and not accounted into the state budget) to cover the following expenses:

e/ Expenses for payment of rewards and welfare benefits on the principle that in a year each laborer may enjoy rewards or welfare benefits not exceeding 3 (three) months’ paid salary or subsistence allowance if that year’s collected charge amount is higher than that of the preceding year, or equal to 2 months’ paid salary or subsistence allowance if that year’s collected charge amount is equal to or lower than that of the preceding year, after all expenses specified in Items a, b, c and d of this Point are ensured.
The Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs shall manage and use the retained charge amount for proper purposes and with lawful vouchers. When some expenses (electricity and water charges, etc.) are also paid for other activities besides charge collection activities, those expenses must be proportionately distributed to the job performance, service provision and charge collection. Annually, revenue-expenditure finalization must be made according to actually collected charge amount and paid expenses. After the finalization is made according to regulations, any paper verification charge amount not yet spent in the year may be carried forward to the subsequent year for further spending according to regulations.
