In order to uniformly apply the tax policy to the sale of membership cards by golf course business enterprises, the Ministry of Finance hereby provides the following guidance:
1. If gold course business enterprises had allocated BIT-liable turnovers earned from the sale of membership cards from December 31, 1999 backwards at variance with legal documents on taxes which were effective at the time of allocation, re-allocation shall not be required because the statute of limitations for retrospective BIT collection has expired according to the provisions of current laws.
2. For BIT-liable turnovers earned from the sale of membership cards from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2003: Golf course business enterprises shall determine such turnovers under the provisions of Finance Ministry’s Circular No. 89/1999/TT-BTC of July 16, 1999, Circular No. 13/2001/TT-BTC of March 8, 2001, and Circular No. 18/2002/TT-BTC of February 20, 2002. If enterprises have accounted or allocated such turnovers by the method guided in the General Department of Taxation’s Official Letter No. 1850 TCT/CS of June 20, 1996, and the Finance Ministry’s Official Letter No. 1806 TC/TCT of June 2, 1997, re-accounting or re-allocation shall not be required.
