This Circular guides the collection of excess profit tax for collective business production cooperatives in handicrafts, transportation, and architecture. The tax is applied based on the average interest rate of members and the profit ratio, exempting cases where there are improvements in management or technology. Different tax rates apply depending on the level of excess profits.
Scope of application
Collective business production cooperatives in handicrafts, transportation, and architecture; agricultural cooperatives engaged in non-agricultural businesses not subject to agricultural taxes; individual producers (including fake production groups); commercial, service, and catering businesses.
Key points
- Collective business production cooperatives in handicrafts, transportation, and architecture → are exempt from excess profit tax if they improve management or technology, with confirmation from People's Committees at district or higher levels.
- Collective business production cooperatives in handicrafts, transportation, and architecture → must collect excess profit tax at a rate of 10-40% depending on the average excess profit rate of members calculated annually.
- Agricultural cooperatives engaged in non-agricultural businesses not subject to agricultural taxes → only pay income tax at a minimum rate of 8%, without paying excess profit tax.
- Individual producers (including fake production groups) and commercial, service, and catering businesses → still have to pay excess profit tax according to Circular No. 24-TT/CT dated December 4, 1974, issued by the Ministry of Finance.
- Tax rates were adjusted starting from 1978.

The primary factors to be considered are the average interest rate of members and the interest ratio. These two factors must be examined in close relation to each other and based on comparison with the State's policy and each locality's policy towards industries and trades that need more or less encouragement, or must be restricted. For example, for restricted trades (such as cosmetic production, gambling, gilded items...), if the average net income per member exceeds 1,600 dong annually and the interest ratio is over 10%, it will be considered as excess income and subject to excess income tax. Conversely, for industries and trades that the State needs to encourage development (thus, the processing agency's purchase interest rate for such bases may be higher, e.g., around 15%), the average net income exceeding 2,000 to 2,500 dong would be considered as excess income and subject to excess income tax.
If higher income results from improved management or technological advancements, it shall be exempted from excess income tax (if confirmed by the People's Committee at district level or higher).
Therefore, the Departments of Finance need to consult with relevant sectors and seek opinions from the Provincial People's Committees to determine which industries and trades need encouragement, along with reasonable maximum interest rates and interest ratios. Within these maximum levels, no excess income tax shall be levied on these industries and trades.
2/ To implement the collection of excess income tax reasonably, the following adjustments are made to the tax rates and excess income levels for collective economic units engaged in small-scale and handicraft production, transportation, and construction:
Average excess income per member calculated annually: under 1,000 dong, tax at 10%; under 1,500 dong, tax at 15%; under 2,000 dong, tax at 20%; under 2,500 dong, tax at 25%; under 3,000 dong, tax at 30%; under 3,500 dong, tax at 35%; and 3,500 dong or more, tax at 40%.
When determining the tax rate on excess income for each unit, related factors as mentioned above must be considered together to apply the tax rate reasonably.
3/ Note that: the aforementioned amendments only apply to collective economic units engaged in small-scale and handicraft production, transportation, and construction. For agricultural cooperatives engaging in non-agricultural businesses not subject to agricultural tax, the minimum tax rate on excess income is 8%, with no excess income tax. As for individual producers (including fake production groups) and commercial service and catering business units, they continue to be subject to excess income tax according to the provisions in Circular No. 24-TT/CT dated December 4, 1974, issued by the Ministry of Finance.
