Removing Bottlenecks in VAT Refunds: National Assembly Passes Amendments to VAT Law

  • The National Assembly passed amendments to the Value Added Tax (VAT) Law, effective from January 1, 2026.
  • The law restores previous VAT regulations for agricultural cooperatives, allowing input VAT deduction without output VAT calculation for certain unprocessed products.
  • It removes the condition that buyers can only receive VAT refunds if sellers have declared and paid VAT, aiming to speed up the refund process.
  • The law exempts households and individuals with annual revenue of 500 million VND or less from VAT, aligning with the amended Personal Income Tax Law.
  • Technical adjustments were made to clarify policies on agricultural by-products, animal feed, and to promote circular economy and environmental protection.
