据路透社援引官方媒体报道,越南立法机构国民议会周二通过了一项决议,将增值税税率的削减延长至明年年底。越南将增值税税率从2022年初的10%降至8%,以支持新冠肺炎疫情后的经济,此后已多次延长。据越南通讯社报道,降低的税率适用于大多数商品和服务,但电信、金融服务、保险、房地产、股票交易和金属制品除外。报告援引财政部的一份文件称,从7月到明年年底,减税将导致121.74万亿越南盾(47亿美元)的收入损失。根据最新数据,越南2025年第一季度国内生产总值同比增长6.93%,低于2024年第四季度的7.55%,是2024年第一季度以来最慢的增长速度。然而,最新数据仍代表着自2020年以来第一季度的最高增长。
Vietnam's National Assembly, the country's lawmaking body, on Tuesday passed a resolution to extend a cut in the value-added tax (VAT) rate until the end of next year, Reuters reported, citing state media. Vietnam reduced its VAT rate to 8% from 10% in early 2022 to support the economy after the COVID-19 pandemic and has since extended it several times. The lowered rate applies to most goods and services, with exceptions for telecommunications, financial services, insurance, real estate, stock trading, and metal products, according to the Vietnam News Agency. The tax cut will cost 121.74 trillion dong ($4.7 billion) in foregone revenue from July to the end of next year, the report cited a Finance Ministry document as saying. Vietnam’s GDP expanded by 6.93% year-on-year in Q1 2025, easing from 7.55% growth in Q4 2024 and marking the slowest pace of growth since Q1 2024, according to flash data. However, the latest figure still represents the highest Q1 growth since 2020.
