What are the regulations on the declaration and finalization of severance tax on mineral extraction in Vietnam?
According to Article 9 of Circular 152/2015/TT-BTC, the declaration and finalization of severance tax on mineral extraction in Vietnam are stipulated as follows:
- Organizations and business households extracting natural resources shall send a notification to tax authorities of their methods of determining taxable prices of each type of resource extracted together with the declaration of severance tax of the first month in which natural resources are extracted. If the method is changed, the supervisory tax authority must be notified within the month in which the change is made.

+ Taxable extraction quantity is the total quantity of natural resources extracted in the year, regardless of quantity in stock and undergoing processing.
If the sale quantity includes both natural resource-derived products and industrial products, the quantity of resources in natural resource-derived products and industrial products must be converted into extraction quantity according to the norms for use of natural resources determined by taxpayers themselves.
+ Taxable price is the average selling price of a unit of natural resource-derived products, which equals (=) total revenue from the sale of resources divided by (:) quantity of resources sold in the year.
