What the Decree Actually Does

1. Tax-Free Threshold Increase ✅ CONFIRMED

• Revenue threshold for household businesses and individual businesses raised from VND 500 million → VND 1 billion/year
• This is the key claim from the report — it is accurate

2. Electronic Invoice Requirements (NEW)

• Businesses with annual revenue exceeding VND 1 billion must use electronic invoices with tax authority codes
• Must use invoices generated from POS systems connected to tax authority data systems
• Multiple business locations must use a single tax ID with location codes on invoices
• Businesses at or below VND 1 billion CAN optionally register for electronic invoices

3. Corporate Income Tax Exemption (NEW)

• Businesses with total revenue ≤ VND 1 billion/year are exempt from corporate income tax
• Newly established businesses with projected revenue ≤ VND 1 billion don't need to make provisional CIT payments
• If actual revenue later exceeds the threshold, they settle tax but face no late payment penalties
• Does NOT apply to subsidiaries/affiliated companies unless they independently meet conditions

4. Transitional Provisions

• Taxes already paid in early 2026 can be offset or refunded
• Households that already declared/paid tax under the old threshold but qualify under the new one can claim the difference
