Any increase by more than 20% compared with the set level must be reported to the financial agency for consideration and decision.

b) For the fixed asset previously invested by the State, which is no longer suitable to the market mechanism, and whose utility has so low efficiency that it will incur loss for the enterprise if the basic depreciation charge is done as prescribed, the financial agency shall then consider and decide on the level of basic depreciation charge on a case-by-case basis.

Article 4.- For the fixed asset which has completed their basic depreciation but which are still in use, the enterprise shall not make any basic depreciation charge on it, but shall manage and use it in accordance with the current regime.

The managerial body immediately above the enterprise shall decide on the mobilization of the capital fund from the basic depreciation charge within its economic and technical branch, for use on priority targets on the principle of borrowing and repaying at appropriate interest rates.
