Is income from lottery winning subject to personal income tax in Vietnam?
According to Clause 6 Article 3 of the Personal Income Tax Law 2007, lottery winnings are among the taxable income types subject to personal income tax (PIT).
Additionally, based on Article 15 of Circular 111/2013/TT-BTC and point a clause 2 Article 23 of Circular 111/2013/TT-BTC, the basis for calculating tax on lottery winnings requires that the winnings exceed 10 million VND per ticket per drawing to be subject to personal income tax. Tax basis:
- Resident individuals: The taxable income is the portion of the lottery winnings exceeding 10 million VND per ticket before any deductions.
- Non-resident individuals: The calculation is similar to resident individuals.
Thus, a lottery winner will have to pay PIT if the winnings of a single ticket in a drawing exceed 10 million VND.
The taxable amount is calculated on the income portion exceeding the 10 million VND threshold, applicable to both resident and non-resident individuals, according to current legal regulations. Therefore, if the prize amount is below 10 million VND, the winner does not need to pay PIT.
