Many opinions on applying a 17% tax on profits
From January 1, 2026, according to the policy of eliminating contract tax, the Ministry of Finance proposes to apply a tax calculation method based on income instead of revenue. Accordingly, business individuals with revenue exceeding the threshold prescribed by the Government will have to pay tax by taking taxable income multiplied by a tax rate of 17%.
Mr. Pham Tuan Anh - a business owner in Dien Hong ward (HCMC) - shared: "We only do retail business, so input documents, price costs and accounting systems still face many difficulties. Therefore, accurately calculating profits to pay 17% tax is not simple. Hopefully, in the coming time, tax officials will directly guide and implement more so that small business households clearly understand the regulations".
Sharing the same view, Ms. Le Ha An - a business household in Cho Lon ward (HCMC) - said: "Currently, profits are low because business is no longer as favorable as before, so the 17% tax rate is quite high. In addition, to comply with the regulations on issuing electronic invoices, we have had to invest large costs in machinery, accounting software, invoices, etc. Therefore, I hope the State will have a tax policy more suitable for each large, small and medium-sized business household".
