 I
think the stipulation that gives more rights to the land-user
who is allocated land and pays a land-use fee compared to the
land-user who rents land on an annual basis is fair, because in
the former case, the land-user has to pay the entire fee up
front for the entire lease period. The lease price in this case
should be lower than, or at most equal to, the land-user who
leases land annually. This way, businesses will be able to
choose the type of leasehold they prefer, based on their own
cash flow. Personally, I prefer land allocation and paying the
entire fee up-front; I just include that amount into calculating
my initial investment, and then am able to proceed with my
long-term investment plans with confidence. The State also
benefits because it receives money quickly and can make
long-term land plans.

 Both
the current Law and the revised draft Law make stipulations on
the various types of land allocation and land lease, with
various rights and conditions attached. These stipulations are
too complicated [to understand], even for government officials,
and therefore create room for corruption in implementation. The
State should consider adopting land lease as the single way for
businesses to obtain land, and lessees in all cases should have
the same rights with regard to the land. In [remote] regions
where there are economic development issues to consider, the
State could adjust lease prices accordingly; for example, the
rental price for agricultural land could be subsidized or even
be nil [in remote areas].

Position Paper on
Land and Tourism submitted by the Land and Tourism Sub-group to
the Vietnam Business Forum, June 2003:
All land users should have the same rights because even for
those paying rent annually, if they sublease or contribute LURS
as assets, the price would be adjusted by the parties in any
case to take into consideration the annual rental.
