3. Union members in grassroots trade unions of non-state enterprises (including trade unions of joint-stock companies where the state does not hold a controlling stake); non-public service units; cooperative unions; foreign organizations and international organizations operating in Vietnam; executive offices of foreign parties in business cooperation contracts in Vietnam; union members working abroad: The monthly union dues are 0,5% of the salary used as the basis for compulsory social insurance contributions as prescribed by the law on social insurance, but the maximum monthly union dues are 10% of the basic salary as prescribed by the State.
4. The grassroots trade unions mentioned in Clauses 2 and 3 of this Article may collect monthly union dues from their members at a rate of 0,5% of their net salary (salary after deducting social insurance, health insurance, unemployment insurance, and personal income tax) or a rate higher than 0,5% of the salary used as the basis for social insurance contributions if approved by the expanded Executive Committee of the grassroots trade union (from the union group leader upwards) through a Resolution, in writing, and specifically stipulated in the internal expenditure regulations of the grassroots trade union. Any additional union dues collected beyond the amount stipulated in Clauses 2 and 3 of this Article shall be retained 100% by the grassroots trade union to supplement its operational expenses in accordance with regulations; when reporting the final accounts, the grassroots trade union must separate the additional union dues using the prescribed form to provide a basis for calculating the amount payable to the higher level.
