Pursuant to Decision 16/2009/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister of the Government dated 21 January 2009 with tax solutions for stimulating investment and sales in order to alleviate the economic downturn and relieve hardships for enterprises ["Decision 16"];
The Ministry of Finance provides detailed guidelines on additional headings of a number of goods entitled to fifty (50) per cent reduction of the value added tax (VAT) rate in accordance with Decision 16/2009/QD-TTg:
Article 1. List of goods entitled to fifty (50) per cent reduction of the VAT rate
1. Issued with this Circular is a list of goods entitled to 50% reduction of the VAT rate in addition to the list issued with Circular 18/2009/TT-BTC of the Ministry of Finance dated 30 January 2009 guiding implementation of the 50% reduction of the VAT rate for goods on the preferential import tariff list.
2. The 50% reduction of the VAT rate applicable to goods on the list issued with Circular 18/2009/TT-BTC and on the additional list as stated in clause 1 of this article shall apply uniformly to the commercial business, processing, production and import stage.
3. When scraps and sub-standard products are recovered for re-cycling and re-use and are sold, the VAT rate applicable to the particular line of goods shall apply.
In accordance with article 1 of Decision 16 which provides for items of goods entitled to 50% reduction of the VAT rate, scraps and sub-standard products which are recovered and sold shall also be entitled to the 50% reduction of the VAT rate.
Example: The VAT rate applicable to recycled plastic when sold shall be the VAT rate applicable to plastic products, namely 10%; recovered coal slag when sold from 1 February 2009 up to 31 December 2009 shall be entitled to 50% reduction of the VAT rate as applicable to coal.
4. Goods entitled to a 50% reduction of the VAT rate are marked "x" in the column "Goods entitled to reduction" on the list. With respect to heading 84.13, water pumps of a capacity exceeding 10 m3 per hour shall be entitled to 50% reduction of the VAT rate; water pumps of a capacity not exceeding 10 m3 per hour shall not be entitled to 50% reduction of the VAT rate.
5. Other goods not guided in this Circular shall comply with Circular 131/2008/TT-BTC of the Ministry of Finance dated 26 December 2008 on implementation of VAT in accordance with the list of goods on the preferential import tariff list, shall comply with Circular 18/2009/TT-BTC.
Article 2. Effectiveness
1. This Circular shall be of full force and effect as from 1 February 2009 up to the end of 31 December 2009.
With respect to goods batches included in the list stated in article 1 of this Circular and imported in accordance with customs declarations of imported goods registered with the customs office from 1 February 2009, if the VAT applicable to such imported goods has not been paid, then the importer must make another declaration in addition to the [submitted] tax declaration file in accordance with regulations in order for the customs office to implement the 50% reduction of the VAT rate as guided in this Circular; if the VAT applicable to such imported goods has been paid and credited with the tax office, no re-adjustment shall be conducted; if the VAT applicable to such imported goods has been paid and the importer has not declared and credited such amount with the tax office, the importer may choose not to re-adjust but to declare and credit the total amount of VAT paid for such imported goods, or the importer may request the customs office to verify the amount of tax paid in excess in order for the tax office to refund [such excess] in accordance with regulations.
With respect to goods batches included in the list stated in article 1 of this Circular when sold as from 1 February 2009 and if any business establishment selling goods has not recorded a 50% reduction of the VAT rate on the invoice for the sale of goods:
- Where the purchaser requests the seller to amend the invoice for entitlement to 50% reduction of the VAT rate, the seller and purchaser must prepare minutes or enter into a written agreement specifying the quantity of goods and their specifications in accordance with the sales invoice (code number, date of the invoice and duration), and the reason for the reduction of the tax rate which is to implement this Circular and at the same time, the seller shall prepare an invoice to reflect the tax rate entitled to (50) per cent reduction. The invoice amending the tax rate shall provide the basis for the seller and purchaser to make amended declarations of output VAT and input VAT.
- Where the purchaser does not request any amendment of the invoice for entitlement to 50% reduction of the VAT rate, the seller must make tax declarations and payment at the tax rate of ten (10) per cent recorded on the invoice, and the purchaser shall be entitled to declare and withhold VAT levied on goods purchased at the tax rate of ten (10) per cent recorded on the invoice in accordance with regulations.
- Where it is impossible to identify the purchaser, the business establishment selling goods shall not be permitted to prepare an invoice reflecting a 50% reduction of the VAT rate and must declare and pay tax at the rate of ten (10) per cent recorded on the sales invoice.
2. If during implementation any inconsistency is detected between application of VAT rates to the same kind of import goods and goods for production, processing and trading, then the tax office and the customs office in localities shall report to the Ministry of Finance for investigation and resolution.
