Consolidated Document No. 81/VBHN-VPQH consolidates the Law on Public-Private Partnership Investment No. 64/2020/QH14 (effective 1 January 2021) together with 7 amending laws: Law 03/2022/QH15, Law on Water Resources 28/2023/QH15, Law on Roads 35/2024/QH15, Law 57/2024/QH15, Law 90/2025/QH15, Law on High Technology 133/2025/QH15, and Law on Rehabilitation and Insolvency 142/2025/QH15. The Law governs the full PPP investment cycle - from project preparation and investor selection, through contracting (BOT, BTO, BOO, O&M, BTL, BLT, BT and mixed contracts), to implementation, audit, and contract termination. This is a legal instrument for large-scale infrastructure investment (transport, health, education, energy, and other public investment sectors) and is not directly relevant to the routine tax obligations of SMEs.
