DATED FEBRUARY 18, 2002

 

Respected: - Ministries, agencies at the level of ministries, and government agencies

On January 23, 2002, the Ministry of Finance issued Circular No. 08/2002/TT/BTC guiding the implementation of import tax calculation prices under foreign trade purchase contracts (replacing Circulars No. 82/1997/TT/BTC dated November 11, 1997 and No. 92/1999/TT/BTC dated July 24, 1999 of the Ministry of Finance). This circular takes effect from February 20, 2002.

Due to changes in the authority to issue legal regulations by government agencies as stipulated in the Law on Government Organization, the General Department of Customs has not yet signed and issued the Inspection Price List. To implement this circular within the prescribed timeframe, the Ministry of Finance proposes the following:

1. During the period before issuing the inspection price list, temporarily apply the prices specified in the Minimum Tax Calculation Price Table attached to Decision No. 177/2001/QĐ-TCHQ dated March 14, 2001 of the General Department of Customs and decisions amending and supplementing Decision No. 177/2001/QĐ-TCHQ as a substitute for the inspection price list. 2. For cases where the contract price is not less than seventy percent (70%) of the inspection price specified in point 1 above, the tax calculation price shall be applied according to the actual payment amount stated on the contract.

3. Other guidelines stipulated in Circular No. 08/2002/TT/BTC dated January 23, 2002 shall continue to be implemented as guided by this circular.

Other guidelines prescribed in Circular No. 08/2002/TT-BTC dated January 23, 2002 shall continue to be implemented in accordance with this Circular.
