There are several types of incentives that could be relevant to the case of
Company J not having to pay CIT for the first 2 operating years. Here are a
few possibilities:
Tax exemption: This is the most direct type of incentive and simply means that
Company J will not be liable for CIT during its first two years of operation. This
can be beneficial for startups or early-stage businesses that may not have
significant profits in their initial years.
Ultimately, the specific type of incentive that applies to Company J will depend
on the details of the program and the jurisdiction in which the company
operates. It is recommended that Company J consult with a tax professional
to determine the exact nature of the incentive and its specific benefits and
obligations.

Calculation:
o Estimate based on 11-month data: Assuming the trend continued for the final
month, total government revenue in 2017 could be approximated as: VND
887,411 billion (tax revenue) + (100% - 91.6%) * VND 887,411 billion
(remaining non-tax revenue) ≈ VND 1,000,600 billion.
o Search for official end-of-year reports: You might find more precise data on
total government revenue in MOF or other official statistical databases for
Vietnam.
2. Once you have your total government revenue estimate (let's assume VND
1,000,600 billion), simply divide the tax revenue (VND 887,411 billion) by the
total government revenue and multiply by 100 to get the percentage: (VND
887,411 billion / VND 1,000,600 billion) * 100 ≈ 89.2%.
Note: These figures are based on estimates and may not be perfectly
accurate. For the most precise data, refer to official government reports or
consult with a financial professional in Vietnam.

In this case, the relevant incentive for Company X is (1) Tax deduction.
Here's why:
Tax exemption: This would eliminate Company X's entire CIT liability, not just
specific expenses like advertising.
Tax holiday: This is usually a temporary reprieve from all taxes, not just the
ability to deduct specific expenses.
Tax credit: This allows a credit against the final tax liability based on certain
eligible expenses, but it doesn't directly reduce taxable income.
Preferential rate: This would imply a lower tax rate for Company X compared
to other companies, not just the ability to deduct certain expenses.

The GDT, under the Ministry of Finance, is the primary authority responsible
for managing and collecting all domestic taxes in Vietnam. This includes:
Income tax (CIT and PIT)
Value-added tax (VAT)
Special consumption tax (SCT)
Corporate income tax for foreign invested enterprises (FIET)
Individual income tax for foreign individuals (FIIT)
Other domestic taxes and fees
While tax departments, tax offices, and Vietnam Customs play roles in tax
administration, their focus is different:
Tax departments: These are regional branches of the GDT and handle tax
administration at the local level.
Tax offices: These are the operational units within tax departments
responsible for interacting directly with taxpayers, such as registering
businesses, processing tax returns, and collecting taxes.
Vietnam Customs: This organization is responsible for managing and
collecting customs duties and taxes on international trade, not domestic taxes.
Therefore, for nationwide domestic tax administration, the GDT takes the
leading role.

There are two main sources with reliable data on Vietnam's tax revenue as a
percentage of GDP in 2014:
1. World Bank Open Data: According to the World Bank's "Tax revenue (% of
GDP)" indicator for Vietnam, the tax-to-GDP ratio in 2014 was 17.7%.
2. OECD Revenue Statistics in Asia and the Pacific 2023 Viet Nam: The
OECD report cites a slightly different figure of 18.2% for the tax-to-GDP ratio
in Vietnam in 2014.

Direct taxes are those charged on income and gains, whilst indirect taxes are
those paid by the consumer to the supplier, and then to the Government.
Personal income tax, corporate income tax are indirect taxes: This is
incorrect. Both personal and corporate income taxes are examples of direct
taxes, levied directly on individuals and businesses based on their income.
Indirect taxes are those charged on income and gains, whilst direct taxes are
those paid by the consumer to the supplier, and then to the Government: This
is the reverse of the true statement and therefore incorrect.
VAT is direct tax whilst personal income tax, corporate income tax are indirect
taxes: This is also incorrect. VAT is an example of an indirect tax, paid by
consumers on the purchase of goods and services and included in the price.
Therefore, the correct statement remains: Direct taxes are those charged on
income and gains, whilst indirect taxes are those paid by the consumer to the
supplier, and then to the Government.

Out of the given options, the most appropriate type of tax rate for "5% of
selling price" is:
Proportional rate
Here's why:
Proportional rate: This type of tax applies a fixed percentage to the tax base
(in this case, the selling price) regardless of the amount. A 5% proportional
rate on the selling price means the tax liability will always be 5% of the selling
price, regardless of how much that price is.
Partially progressive rate: This type of tax combines a proportional rate with a
progressive rate for different tax brackets. However, since we only have a
single fixed percentage (5%) mentioned, it doesn't indicate any brackets or
variations based on the selling price, making it not applicable in this case.
Fully progressive rate: This type of tax applies increasing percentages of tax
to progressively higher tax brackets. Again, with just a single 5% rate
mentioned, there's no indication of increasing percentages or brackets,
making this option inapplicable.
Regressive rate: This type of tax applies a higher percentage of tax to lower
tax brackets and a lower percentage to higher brackets. Since the 5% rate
applies to the entire selling price (regardless of its amount), it doesn't exhibit
the characteristic of applying higher rates to lower values, making it
unsuitable.
The horizontal axis represents the tax base (selling price in this case), and the
vertical axis represents the tax liability. As you can see, the line is straight,
indicating a constant 5% tax applied regardless of the selling price.
I hope this explanation clarifies the appropriate type of tax rate for this
scenario!

It's important to note that the specific taxes applicable to you will depend on
your individual circumstances, such as your residency status, business type,
and income level. Consulting with a tax professional in Vietnam is always
recommended for accurate and up-to-date information.
I hope this provides a helpful overview of the types of taxes in Vietnam. Feel
free to ask if you have any further questions about specific taxes or tax
incentives!

The statement "Both federal and local tax" is the most accurate description of
the tax system in Vietnam.
While Vietnam utilizes a centralized government structure, it does not employ
the concept of "federal" taxation as seen in countries like the United States.
Therefore, the term "federal tax" wouldn't be entirely accurate in this context.
National taxes: These are levied and collected by the Vietnamese government
and apply uniformly across the entire country. Examples include income tax
(both corporate and personal), value-added tax (VAT), special consumption
tax (SCT), and import and export duties.
Local taxes: These are imposed and collected by provincial and municipal
governments, with some variations in rates and regulations depending on the
specific locality. Examples include property tax, land use tax, and
entertainment tax.
Therefore, both national and local taxes are applicable in Vietnam, making
"Both federal and local tax" the most accurate answer.

While all three options play crucial roles, the most important role of taxes can
be argued as:
Public goods and services: These are essential services benefitting everyone
in society, like roads, education, healthcare, national defense, and
environmental protection. They often lack inherent profitability and therefore
require collective funding through taxes.
Funding mechanism: Taxes provide the primary source of income for
governments to cover the costs of delivering these essential public goods and
services. Without tax revenue, many of these critical functions would remain
unfunded or significantly under-resourced.
Social impact: Adequate public goods and services contribute significantly to
society's well-being. Strong education systems improve human capital,
accessible healthcare promotes health and longevity, and secure
infrastructure facilitates economic growth. In this way, taxes indirectly
contribute to social fairness and economic prosperity.
Other roles: While not the primary one, taxes also play roles in:
o Fairness: Tax systems can be designed to promote progressive taxation,
where those with higher incomes contribute a larger share, thereby mitigating
income inequality.
o Macroeconomic regulation: Governments can use tax policies to influence
aggregate demand, inflation, and economic growth.
Of course, the other options (fairness and economic regulation) are also valid
and significant impacts of taxes, but they are arguably secondary to the core
function of financing public goods and services.
Ultimately, the "most important" role of taxes can be a matter of debate, with
different perspectives prioritizing different aspects. However, providing the
financial foundation for essential public services remains a crucial and
undeniable contribution of taxes to society.

elect the appropriate type of tax rate for
"VND400,000/unit".(1 Point) Fully progressive rate
Partially progressive rate Regressive rate Proportional rate
expand_more
volume_up
Proportional rate
Here's why:
Proportional rate: This type of tax applies a fixed percentage to the tax base
(in this case, the unit price of VND400,000) regardless of the quantity or total
value. So, if the tax rate is 10%, the tax liability would be VND40,000 for each
unit sold.
Partially progressive rate: This combines a proportional rate with a
progressive rate for different tax brackets. However, since we only have a
single fixed price mentioned, there's no indication of brackets or variations
based on the unit price, making it inapplicable in this case.
Fully progressive rate: This applies increasing percentages of tax to
progressively higher tax brackets. Again, with just a single unit price
mentioned, there's no indication of increasing percentages or brackets,
making this option unsuitable.
Regressive rate: This applies a higher percentage of tax to lower tax brackets
and a lower percentage to higher brackets. Since the mentioned tax applies to
individual units regardless of their total value, it doesn't exhibit the
characteristic of applying higher rates to lower values, making it inappropriate.
Therefore, considering the fixed per-unit price and the application of the tax to
each unit individually, a proportional rate is the most accurate classification for
this type of tax.
I hope this explanation clarifies the appropriate type of tax rate for this
scenario!

The Law on Tax Administration 2019: This primary law establishes the
framework for tax administration in Vietnam, including principles, procedures,
and taxpayer rights and obligations.
Specific tax laws: Separate laws are dedicated to individual taxes, such as the
Law on Corporate Income Tax or the Law on Value Added Tax, outlining
calculation methods, exemptions, and other details.
Circulars and guidance issued by the General Department of Taxation (GDT):
The GDT provides further clarifications and interpretations of the tax laws
through circulars and official guidance documents.
Knowing the specific location will allow me to point you towards the relevant
legal documents for determining tax obligations in that jurisdiction. Please
provide more context, and I'll be happy to assist you further!

Here's why:
Laws are the most fundamental and authoritative legal documents in most
jurisdictions. They are enacted by the legislative body (such as a parliament
or congress) and carry the highest legal force. Laws establish the core
principles, rules, and obligations for various aspects of society, including
taxation.
Decrees are issued by the executive branch (such as the president or prime
minister) to implement laws or provide further regulations within the framework
established by laws. They are subordinate to laws in terms of legal hierarchy.
Circulars are issued by government agencies or ministries to provide detailed
guidance, interpretations, or instructions on the application of laws and
decrees. They serve to clarify specific aspects but cannot contradict or
override laws or decrees.
Official letters are typically used for administrative communication,
notifications, or requests, but they do not carry the same legal force as laws,
decrees, or circulars in terms of establishing binding obligations.

Select the appropriate type of tax rate for "5% for income
up to VND 5mil, 10% for income up to VND 10mil".(1
Point) Partially progressive rate Proportional rate
Regressive rate Fully progressive rate
expand_more
volume_up
The appropriate type of tax rate for "5% for income up to VND 5mil, 10% for
income up to VND 10mil" is:
Here's why:
Partially progressive rate: This type of tax applies different rates to different
income brackets, starting with a lower rate for lower income levels and
gradually increasing for higher income levels. In this case, the tax rate rises
from 5% to 10% as income exceeds VND 5 million.
Proportional rate: This applies a fixed percentage to the entire tax base,
regardless of the income level. In this case, the rates of 5% and 10% apply to
specific income brackets, not across the entire income range, making it not an
accurate description.
Regressive rate: This applies a higher tax rate to lower income levels and a
lower rate to higher income levels. This is the opposite of what is described in
the scenario, so it wouldn't be appropriate.
Fully progressive rate: This applies a series of increasing tax rates to
progressively higher income brackets throughout the entire income range.
While the scenario shows two brackets with increasing rates, it doesn't imply a
continuous progression beyond VND 10 million. Therefore, fully progressive
wouldn't perfectly describe this specific situation.

Therefore, "all of the above" is the most accurate answer, as each reason
plays a role in people's dislike for taxes. The relative importance of each factor
may vary depending on individual circumstances and perspectives.
It's important to note that tax policy and government transparency efforts can
influence public perception. Effective communication about how tax revenue is
used and addressing concerns about government spending can potentially
mitigate some of the dislike towards taxes.

While all the mentioned entities play a role in tax administration, the
governmental organization specifically in charge of tax administration at the
district level in Vietnam is the:
1. Tax office
Here's why:
General department of taxation (GDT): This is the national, central authority
responsible for overseeing the entire tax system in Vietnam. It sets policies,
provides guidance, and manages tax administration at the national level.
General Department of Vietnam customs: This organization focuses on import
and export taxes, not domestic taxes at the district level.
Tax department: These are regional branches of the GDT and handle tax
administration at the provincial level. While they provide oversight and support
to district tax offices, they are not directly in charge of administration at the
district level.
Tax offices: These are the operational units within tax departments located
throughout the country, including at the district level. They are the primary
point of contact for taxpayers in their jurisdiction and handle various tax
administration tasks, including registration, filing, collection, and audits.

The most relevant incentive for the case where the sale of product B is not
subject to excise duty is:
1. Exemption
Here's why:
Tax deduction: This allows a taxpayer to deduct certain expenses from their
taxable income, resulting in a lower tax liability. While it could be beneficial for
businesses producing or selling product B, it wouldn't directly address the
specific exemption from excise duty.
Tax holiday: This offers a temporary reprieve from paying all taxes, not just
specific ones like excise duty. While appealing, it wouldn't be as targeted as
an exemption for a particular product or tax type.
Tax credit: This allows a taxpayer to directly reduce their tax liability by a
specific amount or percentage based on certain eligible expenses or activities.
Again, its broader scope wouldn't perfectly reflect the exemption from excise
duty for product B.
Preferential rate: This applies a lower tax rate compared to the standard rate
for certain types of products or companies. While it could be applied to
product B, it wouldn't necessarily imply a complete exemption from excise
duty specifically.
Exemption: This completely eliminates the liability for a specific tax, in this
case the excise duty for product B. This directly aligns with the scenario where
the sale of product B isn't subject to this tax, making it the most accurate
description of the incentive.
Therefore, considering the complete removal of excise duty liability for product
B, exemption is the most relevant type of incentive in this case.

The policy in the Law on Corporate Income Tax granting tax incentives to
enterprises employing disabled or disadvantaged people if reaching a certain
percentage represents two key tax functions:
2. Social justice function: This policy reflects the use of taxation as a tool to
promote social equity and address income inequality. By providing tax breaks
to companies that employ disadvantaged groups, the government aims to
improve their economic well-being and reduce inequalities in the labor market.
It's important to note that the effectiveness of such policies often depends on
various factors, including the design of the incentive program, the specific
criteria for eligibility, and the overall economic and social context. While such
policies can serve both functions, their actual impact requires careful
evaluation and ongoing monitoring.
I hope this clarifies the dual functions of the policy you mentioned!
share
more_vert
Here's why:
Therefore, the policy simultaneously serves both economic and social goals
through the use of tax incentives. It's not solely focused on either economic
factors like growth or purely social goals like inclusivity. It tries to achieve both
objectives through a targeted tax instrument.
While tax administration involves implementing tax laws and collecting taxes,
this specific policy focuses on using taxes as a tool to influence behavior and
achieve social and economic objectives. Therefore, option 3 ("This policy does
not represent the function of tax but the profession of tax administration") is
inaccurate.
I hope this clarifies why the most appropriate answer is "Both economic and
social functions."

All of the listed tax descriptions except 10% of income involve specific rates:
$20 for first 10kg, $15 for amount in excess of 10kg: This has a fixed rate for
the first 10kg and another fixed rate for exceeding amounts, both specific
rates.
5% for price up to VND 5mil, 10% for price up to VND 10mil: This uses
specific rate brackets based on price ranges.
VND50,000/kg: This is a fixed rate per unit (kg), a specific rate.
20% of profit earned: This applies a fixed percentage on a specific base
(profit), making it a specific rate.
Therefore, all options except 10% of income describe taxes with specific
rates.
