For a Vienam citizen is there a lower limit one can make before one has to pay incometax. Or is it must pay tax even after one VND.

Many thanks

It's my understanding that everything a person receives is taxable.  After deductions, income is taxed incrementally:

5% on amount up to 5M
10% on amount over 5M but under 10M
15% on amount over 10M but under 18M
20% on amount over 18M but under 32M
25% on amount over 32M but under 52M
30% on amount over 52M but under 80M
35% on amount over 80M

That's the principle, but there are other factors that may change tax liability, the same as in other countries.

Again, that's what I know.  A "real" Vietnamese who has better knowledge than I may tell you differently.

AFAIK, it's 9 mill VND/month. Anything above 9 mill is taxable on PT (progressive tax) scale. It used to be 4 or 5 mill not so long ago.

" Personal relief of VND9 million/month, and family relief of VND3.6 million/month/dependent. "
