TAX POLICY IN VIETNAM FOR GOODS SALE IN THE BONDED WAREHOUSE

Pursuant to current regulations, in case a company in Vietnam imports goods from abroad and completes procedures for importing them into a bonded warehouse, then transfers the ownership rights at the bonded warehouse to a buyer in Vietnam, then:

– In case the buyer is a Vietnamese enterprise (not an enterprise in a non-tariff zone), when transferring ownership of goods in a bonded warehouse, it shall be determined as a goods sale and purchase relationship in a non-tariff zone; and not subject to VAT.

– In case the buyer is an enterprise in a non-tariff zone (as specified in Clause 20, Article 4 of Circular 219/2013/TT-BTC), when transferring ownership of goods in a bonded warehouse it is the goods trading relationship between non-tariff zones and not subject to VAT.

– When making a VAT invoice, the company only writes the selling price line as the payment price, the tax rate and the VAT amount that is not written and crossed out.
