CIRCULAR
Detailed regulations for implementing Decision No. 40-CP dated April 8, 1963 of the Council of Ministers on the abolition of business tax on state basic construction projects
THE MINISTER OF FINANCE
|
Respectfully submitted to: |
-Ministries, State Basic Construction Committee, State Planning Committee, State Bank of Vietnam, General Departments. |
To reduce investment capital, lower budget estimates for basic construction projects, and simplify tax collection procedures, the Council of Ministers issued Decision No. 40-CP dated April 8, 1963 to abolish business tax on state basic construction projects. The Ministry of Finance hereby provides detailed regulations as follows:
1. The abolition of this business tax applies to basic construction projects of agencies or enterprises (including joint public-private enterprises) under central or local budgets, as well as self-funded construction projects of sectors and enterprises carried out through bidding or self-construction.
For the activities of construction material production enterprises, for the leasing of machinery and processing services of construction machinery organizations, and for the activities of cooperative and private construction teams undertaking architectural construction projects, business tax will continue to be collected according to current regulations.
2. To facilitate the adjustment of planned expenditure for basic construction volumes due to the abolition of the tax, after reaching a consensus with the State Planning Committee, the Ministry of Finance has decided that the abolition of the tax will take effect from July 1, 1963.
Until June 30, 1963, whenever temporary payments or monthly settlements are made, construction purchasing offices will continue to issue funds based on budget estimates including tax (if taxes were previously included in the budget estimate). At the same time, these taxes will be remitted to the budget according to the provisions in Circulars No. 768-TC-CNKT dated December 14, 1962 and No. 5-TC-NKKT dated March 8, 1963 of the Ministry of Finance. Starting from July 1, 1963, construction purchasing offices will no longer remit taxes, but for construction projects where taxes are included in the budget estimate (for construction and installation costs and certain other basic construction expenses), when making temporary payments or settlements, the purchasing offices will automatically reduce the amount issued by an equivalent amount of the unremitted tax without requiring the construction units to adjust their budget estimates. For example, if the completed volume for a ten-day period is 28,000 dong according to the budget estimate including tax; when making a temporary payment, 560 dong (28,000 dong x 2%) will be deducted, resulting in an issuance of only 27,440 dong.
3. The abolition of the tax on basic construction projects does not affect the planned volume of basic construction, but the value of the volume will decrease. The Ministry of Finance will work with the State Planning Committee and relevant sectors to address this issue during mid-year plan adjustments.
The abolition of the tax on basic construction projects funded by local budgets will also be implemented in accordance with the spirit of the above regulations for centrally funded basic construction projects.
During the implementation of this circular, if any difficulties arise, please report them to us so we can discuss solutions.
