Vietnam usually levies taxes on entrepot trade. When goods enter Vietnam in the entrepot trade, they may face import duties. The tax rate is determined according to the type and value of the goods, and there are significant differences in the import duty rates for different commodities.
In addition, value-added tax may also be involved, with a general tax rate of 10%, but some commodities apply preferential tax rates. When the goods in entrepot trade are re-exported, there is usually an export tax rebate policy, aiming to avoid double taxation and enhance the competitiveness of domestic products in the international market. However, to enjoy the export tax rebate, a series of conditions need to be met, such as providing compliant documents.
When conducting entrepot trade in Vietnam, it is necessary to be familiar with Vietnam's customs and tax regulations to avoid business risks caused by tax issues. It is recommended to communicate with local professional tax advisors or professional institutions like Zhongshitong in advance to ensure that trade activities are legal and compliant and that tax handling is proper.
