The Government of Vietnam promulgated Decree No. 41/2022/NĐ-CP amending Decree No. 15/2022/NĐ-CP on VAT reduction from 10% to 8%.

Guidance on declaring 8% VAT on VNACCS/VCIS of the General Department of Vietnam Customs / Dossier of application for a permit to build, renovate and upgrade a crossroads in Vietnam / Mark exams of candidates with Covid-19 at private exam rooms in Vietnam / Regulation on reporting on the implementation of investment activities in PPP mode (Public-Private Partnership) in Vietnam

The Decree amends regulations on creating invoices for goods and services which are eligible for VAT reduction from 10% to 8% as follows:

- In case business establishments pay VAT using the credit-invoice method, upon providing goods and services subject to different VAT rates, VAT rates applied to each of them must be clarified on the VAT invoices.

- In case business establishments pay VAT using the direct method as a percentage (%) of revenue, upon providing goods and services, deducted amount must be clarified on sales invoices as prescribed.

(Previously, Decree No. 15/2022/NĐ-CP prescribed that business establishments must create separate invoices for goods and services which are eligible for VAT reduction.

In case business establishments fail to create separate invoices for goods and services which are eligible for VAT reduction, they shall receive no VAT reduction).

Thus, on the basis of amended contents in Decree No. 41/2022/NĐ-CP, separate invoices for goods which are eligible for VAT from 10% to 8% are not mandatory.

In case business establishments have issued invoices according to the above regulations from February 01, 2022 to June 20, 2022, they will still be eligible for VAT reduction, will not have to revise invoices and will not incur administrative penalties for tax- and invoice-related offences.

Decree No. 41/2022/NĐ-CP comes into force from June 20, 2022.
