According to the audit report of the Economic - Budget Committee of the City People's Council, amending the Resolution to adjust the content related to the decentralization of revenue sources and expenditure tasks between government levels, as a basis for budget allocation when implementing the two-level local government model from July 1, 2025 is necessary, under the authority of the City People's Council and needs to be implemented soon, ensuring that the implementation of budget revenue and expenditure tasks is not interrupted.

Accordingly, the City People's Council agreed to amend the provisions of Resolution No. 22/2022/NQ-HDND dated December 8, 2022 of the City People's Council, in which: Wards are identified as a budget level; revenue sources and expenditure tasks of the ward budget are implemented according to the revenue sources and expenditure tasks of the commune budget prescribed in Resolution No. 22/2022/NQ-HDND dated December 8, 2022 of the City People's Council.

The City People's Council agreed to adjust all revenue sources and expenditure tasks of district, town and city budgets to the city budget as a basis for assigning and dividing revenue and expenditure tasks to units.

Adjust the percentage (%) of revenue division between city budget levels in the following direction: For revenue regulated for district budgets, there is no longer a percentage (%) of revenue division for district budgets and the percentage (%) of revenue division for city budgets is adjusted to increase accordingly (due to transferring district budget revenues to city budgets).

For ward budget revenues, the city budget enjoys 100%.

The above adjustment clearly demonstrates the city's proactiveness and timeliness in adjusting the legal framework on the budget to suit the context of transition to a two-level local government model; consistent with the orientation on the division of revenue sources and expenditure tasks between the provincial and commune budgets after arrangement according to Official Dispatch No. 4025/BTC-NSNN dated April 2, 2025 of the Ministry of Finance guiding the principles of handling state finance and budget when reorganizing administrative units at all levels and building a two-level local government organization model.

This is also the basis for the city to decide on allocating and assigning city-level and commune-level budget estimates so that agencies and units have operating funds from July 1, 2025.
