LETTER
OF THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE NUMBER 12495 TC/TCT DATED NOVEMBER 1, 2001
REGARDING MANAGEMENT AND COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INCOME TAX FOR
UNITS AND SECTORS AT THE COUNTY OR MUNICIPAL LEVEL WITHOUT
BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Dear: Provincial and Central City Tax Departments
The Ministry of Finance has received letters from some local tax departments proposing the declaration and payment of income tax for high-income individuals by income-paying entities such as county or municipal bureaus, sectors (such as County Financial Offices, Economic Departments, Education Departments, Vocational Training Centers at the county or municipal level...). Regarding this issue, the Ministry of Finance has the following comments: According to point 3.22 of Section III of Circular No. 81/2004/TT-BTC dated August 13, 2004 issued by the Ministry of Finance guiding personal income tax (PIT) for high-income individuals, entities that are income-paying bodies without business operations shall declare and pay taxes at the Provincial or Central City Tax Department where the unit is headquartered.
In cases where income-paying units without business operations are located in county or municipal areas and it is inconvenient to declare and pay taxes at the Provincial or Central City Tax Department, we suggest that the Tax Departments allocate responsibilities to local Tax Branches based on actual conditions of the locality for managing PIT collection from these entities.
The Ministry of Finance informs the Tax Departments to be aware and implement accordingly.
The Ministry of Finance informs and requests the Tax Department to implement.
