Owning a huge musical composition fortune helps Nguyen Van Chung earn a stable income from the rights. He also has exclusive sales contracts for singers. In addition to writing commercial music and arranging, he is also a music director. Occasionally, the male musician goes to film game shows and talks shows.
Sharing with Lao Dong newspaper reporters about paying taxes, Nguyen Van Chung said: "Normally, agencies (service agents) and organizing committees will deduct taxes for me. Depending on who I agree with, they can deduct the tax or I can pay the tax myself. I think paying taxes is of course a must because it is the duty and responsibility of every citizen in the country.
The musician also added: Performing artists often have their own company so they have output invoices such as travel, fuel, dancers, practice, etc. As for musicians like me, it is simpler, using personal tax codes, not having their own company. That also makes it difficult for me to sometimes declare taxes because there are many sources, many companies that hire me to write music, so I am a bit in trouble.
Many audiences commented that artists often hide their income due to personal income tax. Speaking about this issue, the musician "Mother's Diary" frankly expressed: "I think not only artists but also other professions are reserved about income. That is the personal privacy of each person.
Although the more a hit is listened to, the more income he will earn from the song's copyright, Nguyen Van Chung is always willing to share many songs for free with the community, especially songs that arouse patriotism.
