LETTER

OF THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE NUMBER 13610 TC/CST ON NOVEMBER 22, 2004
REGARDING VALUE-ADDED TAX AND ENTERPRISE INCOME TAX FOR BUSINESSES
MOVING OPERATING LOCATIONS ACCORDING TO PLANNING

 

RESPECTED: Provincial and Central City Tax Bureaus

 

The Ministry of Finance has received letters from several businesses requesting guidance on value-added tax and enterprise income tax for businesses relocating production and business premises according to the planning by authorized state agencies when implementing clearance and compensation, including liquidation or sale of assets. Regarding this matter, the Ministry of Finance provides instructions as follows:

1. On Value-Added Tax

Businesses relocating their operating locations according to the planning by authorized state agencies that conduct liquidation or sale of taxable goods during relocation must calculate, declare, and pay value-added tax in accordance with Circular No. 120/2003/TT-BTC dated December 12, 2003, issued by the Ministry of Finance to guide implementation of Decree No. 158/2003/NĐ-CP dated December 10, 2003, promulgated by the Government detailing the implementation of the Law on Value-Added Tax.

2. On Enterprise Income Tax

When relocating according to planning by authorized state agencies and receiving financial support for relocation costs and compensation for assets on land, if the value of such support and compensation after deducting related expenses (if any) is not subject to enterprise income tax but should be recorded as other operating profit, then transferred to increase basic construction investment capital. In cases where the amount of financial support and compensated asset values are lower than related expenses, businesses may record it as a loss.

If there is income generated from transferring land use rights or leasing rights due to relocation according to planning, implementation shall follow the guidance at Point 3, Section II, Part C of Circular No. 128/2003/TT-BTC dated December 22, 2003, issued by the Ministry of Finance guiding the implementation of Decree No. 164/2003/NĐ-CP dated December 22, 2003, promulgated by the Government detailing the implementation of the Law on Enterprise Income Tax.

The Ministry of Finance informs Provincial and Central City Tax Bureaus to be aware and guide implementation accordingly.
