The legislature adopted the resolution on VAT reduction with 452 deputies present voting in favour, accounting for 94.56% of the total.
According to the resolution, scheduled to be effective from July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026, the VAT rate will be reduced to 8% from 10% for goods and services specified in Clause 3, Article 9 of the Law on VAT No. 48/2024/QH15, except for the following groups: telecommunications, finance, banking, securities, insurance, real estate, metal products, mineral products (except coal), and goods and services subject to the special consumption tax (except petrol).
Compared to the previous resolutions, the new one expands the coverage of the VAT cut to transportation, logistics, and IT products and services.
The Government reported that the VAT reduction may lead to decreases of some 39.54 trillion VND in state budget revenue during the second half of 2025, and about 82.2 trillion VND in 2026. However, the move is expected to boost production and business activities, thereby helping to drive revenue sources for the state budget.
Meanwhile, 455 lawmakers, or 95.19% of the deputies present at the plenum, voted in favour the law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Enterprises.
The amendment law, which consists of three articles, will come into effect from July 1, 2025.
