Archived webcast - Vietnam's new Personal Income Tax law 

11 December 2008 (Thursday)

The Vietnamese National Assembly has passed what is Vietnam's first ever law on Personal Income Tax (PIT) which will apply to the declaration and payment of PIT from 1 January 2009.  The new law aims to address certain perceived shortcomings of the existing PIT ordinance, notably the dual rate system for Vietnamese and expatriates, the high marginal rates, and the relatively narrow PIT base.  The law itself is quite brief, and details of how its new provisions will be implemented are set out in the law's implementing decree and circular.
 
In this webcast, we presented an overview of some of the key changes to the PIT regime made in the PIT law, Decree 100 and Circular 84.
