1. Procedures for filing corporate income tax returns
Step 1: Businesses that generate income from capital transfers are responsible for determining and declaring the corporate income tax from capital transfers in their annual tax return.
- In case (1) selling the entire one-member limited liability company owned by an organization in the form of capital transfer associated with real estate, prepare the dossier and send it to the tax authority no later than the 10th (tenth) day from the date the tax obligation arises.
- Case (2) Foreign organizations doing business in Vietnam or having income in Vietnam (collectively referred to as foreign contractors) that do not operate under the Investment Law or the Enterprise Law and have capital transfer activities shall declare corporate income tax on each occasion.
Organizations and individuals receiving capital transfers are responsible for determining, declaring, deducting, and paying on behalf of the foreign organization the corporate income tax payable. If the recipient of the capital transfer is also a foreign organization not operating under the Investment Law or the Enterprise Law, then the enterprise established under Vietnamese law where the foreign organization invests capital is responsible for declaring and paying on behalf of the foreign organization the corporate income tax payable from the capital transfer activities.
The deadline for filing tax returns is the 10th (tenth) day from the date the competent authority approves the capital transfer, or the 10th (tenth) day from the date the parties agree on the capital transfer in the capital transfer contract in cases where approval of the capital transfer is not required.
Step 2: The tax authority will receive the following:
- If the application is submitted directly to the tax office, the tax officer will receive and stamp the application, record the time of receipt, note the number of documents in the application, and record it in the tax office's document register.
- If the documents are sent by mail, the tax officer will stamp the documents with the date of receipt and record it in the tax office's document register.
- In cases where tax returns are submitted electronically, the receipt, verification, and acceptance of the tax returns are carried out by the tax authority through its electronic data processing system.
