Decree 141/2026/ND-CP: Raising the tax threshold to 1 billion VND for business households
Decree 141/2026/ND-CP stipulates corporate income tax exemption for businesses and organizations with a total annual revenue of no more than 1 billion VND. New businesses or businesses operating for less than a year will have their average monthly revenue calculated; if it is expected not to exceed this threshold, they are not required to temporarily pay tax during the year.
The Decree also raises the tax revenue management threshold for business households from 500 million VND to 1 billion VND, creating conditions to ease tax obligations and support small business sector development. At the same time, business households with revenue over 1 billion VND are required to use electronic invoices; if exceeding the threshold in the year, they must register within 30 days.
The policy takes effect from January 1, 2026, accompanied by a transitional handling mechanism: businesses or business households that have paid tax according to the old threshold or overpaid will be compensated or refunded according to regulations, ensuring rights and reducing financial pressure.

Gold prices fall, stores limit sales before holidays
On April 29, domestic gold prices continued to decrease, extending the downward trend compared to the previous period. Compared to the same period last month, gold bar and gold ring prices decreased by about 3.5-4 million VND/tael in both buying and selling directions.
Although prices have decreased, the market has become more vibrant as the number of customers coming to gold shops in Hanoi has increased sharply, especially in the buying direction. Many people take advantage of buying when prices are low, accepting to wait a long time to trade, while stores meet the demand quite flexibly, without limiting the quantity sold.
Besides increased buying power, selling demand also appears when some people take advantage of profit-taking. This makes the trading atmosphere at stores become bustling again after the previous quiet days. See more...
Stocks face strong selling pressure before holidays
The stock market on April 29 was under adjustment pressure as unfavorable international information and cautious sentiment before the holidays weakened cash flow. Although VN-Index previously increased sharply thanks to some pillar stocks, market breadth was still negative with the number of declining stocks overwhelming.
The trading session was volatile, liquidity was at a moderate level and red dominated in many industry groups. Leading stock groups such as real estate, banking, and steel were strongly differentiated, while profit-taking pressure increased, causing some large codes to turn down, pulling the index down.
At the end of the morning session, VN-Index decreased by nearly 17 points to around 1,859 points. Although the short-term upward trend is still there, the market is recommended to be cautious because the upward momentum has not spread, cash flow has not been clearly confirmed, and the risk of fluctuation and adjustment may increase when approaching the resistance zone of 1,900 points.

Vinh Long tightens management of planting area codes to protect the reputation of agricultural products
The planting area code is considered a "passport" to help agricultural products reach the international market. The whole province currently has 936 codes with more than 33,400 hectares, of which 735 codes serve exports to major markets such as China, USA, EU, Korea, Australia; the rest serves domestic consumption and traceability.
However, management after issuing codes is still limited when some farmers do not comply with production procedures, keep incomplete farming logs, and even have the situation of "borrowing" or using incorrect planting area codes. This affects the quality and reputation of agricultural products and poses a risk of being returned goods from demanding markets. See more...
