Beginning October 15, the nation started making use of a world minimal tax charge of 15 per cent on MNCs with consolidated revenues of $877.87 million or extra.
The transfer aligns the nation’s tax coverage with international practices, as greater than 100 nations have already launched related measures.
For years, the efficient company tax charge for a lot of companies stood at round 12.5 per cent, under the 15-per cent international minimal threshold, after accounting for all incentives.
However, many multinational firms with a number of international subsidiaries have taken benefit of tax loopholes and switch pricing to minimise their tax liabilities, a home information company reported.
According to the nation’s Ministry of Finance, in 2023, 56 per cent of FDI companies in Vietnam reported losses, a 21-per cent enhance YoY, though each income and property rose.
Over 5,000 companies had unfavourable fairness, with accrued losses reaching $34.48 billion—a paradox pointing to potential ‘profit shifting’ practices.

For affected buyers, the Vietnamese tax authorities will gather a top-up tax to carry their complete tax burden to no less than 15 per cent.
