OF THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE NUMBER 2237TC/TCT DATED JUNE 5, 2000
REGARDING VAT REFUND

 

RESPECTED: Provincial Tax Departments

 

Recently, the Ministry of Finance received requests from several Tax Departments and Vietnamese humanitarian organizations regarding guidance on implementing VAT refunds in cases without original documents. The General Department of Taxation has the following opinions:

 

Pursuant to the provisions at Section III of Circular No. 02/2000/TT-BTC dated January 5, 2000 issued by the Ministry of Finance, Vietnamese organizations purchasing goods and services with foreign non-governmental organization humanitarian aid or emergency assistance must submit a Statement of Invoices for purchased goods and services (in accordance with Form No. 03/GTGT attached to Circular No. 89/1998/TT-BTC dated June 27, 1998 issued by the Ministry of Finance) along with the application for VAT refund.

In cases where Vietnamese organizations must send original invoices and payment documents to overseas representative associations to settle accounts with sponsors as stipulated by the Association, Vietnamese organizations must retain copies of invoices certified by suppliers as a basis for inspection when implementing VAT refunds.

The Ministry of Finance hereby informs Provincial Tax Departments and instructs units to implement accordingly.
