LETTER

OF THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE NUMBER 7203/TC-TCT DATED AUGUST 1, 2001
REGARDING REGISTRATION FOR LOSS CARRYFORWARD

 

Dear: Provincial and Central City Tax Departments

 

Recently, the Ministry of Finance received recommendations from some foreign-invested enterprises requesting guidance on implementing loss carryforward methods. Regarding this issue, the Ministry of Finance has the following comments:

According to the guidelines set forth in Circular No. 74/TC-TCT dated October 20, 1997, Circular No. 89/1999/TT-BTC dated July 16, 1999, and Circular No. 13/2001/TT-BTC dated March 8, 2001 of the Ministry of Finance, enterprises must register for loss carryforward immediately after the fiscal year in which losses occur. However, due to inconsistencies in implementing loss carryforward by enterprises and their non-compliance with the provisions of the aforementioned Circulars, the Ministry of Finance hereby provides additional guidance on registering for loss carryforward as follows:

- For losses arising from fiscal years 1997-2000, if enterprises have not registered a loss carryforward plan, they may register a loss carryforward plan as prescribed in Circular No. 13/2001/TT-BTC mentioned above for the following cases:

+ Enterprises that have not yet generated profits

+ Enterprises that have generated profits during fiscal years exempted from tax but the tax authority has not completed tax settlement. If tax settlement has been completed, registration for loss carryforward shall not alter the budget revenue already settled.

- For losses arising from fiscal years 2000 onwards, enterprises must register for loss carryforward in accordance with the deadlines stipulated in Circular No. 13/2001/TT-BTC dated March 8, 2001 of the Ministry of Finance.

The Ministry of Finance hereby informs the Tax Departments and guides enterprises to implement accordingly.
