The Ministry of Finance have
recently received requests for provision of guidelines for personal income tax
policies in case of application of presumptive taxes and house rents when
calculating income subject to personal income tax (hereinafter referred to as
taxable income). The Ministry of Finance hereby provides the following
guidance:
- Pursuant to Clause 4 Article 7
of Circular No. 111/2013/TT-BTC dated August 15, 2013 on guidelines for the Law
on Personal Income Tax, Law on amendments to the Law on Personal Income Tax,
and the Government's Decree No. 65/2013/NĐ-CP on guidelines for some Articles
of the said Laws:
If the wages paid to the employee
as prescribed in Clause 2 Article 2 of this Circular are exclusive of tax, they
must be converted into assessable income in accordance with Appendix No.
02/PL-TNCN enclosed with this Circular in order to determine taxable income. To
be specific:
a) The income converted into
assessable income is the actual income plus (+) benefits paid by the employer
on behalf of the employee (if any) minus (-) deductions. If the amounts paid on behalf of the employee include
house rent, the house rent shall be included in the converted income.
Nevertheless, this amount must not exceed 15% of the total taxable income
incurred (not including house rent)

If the employer exercises tax
equalization and deduct a presumptive amount of tax from the employee’s income
before paying to the employee and pay actual personal income tax on the
employee’s behalf, the income converted into assessable income does not include
the presumptive tax deducted and must comply with Clause 4 Article 7 of
Circular No. 111/2013/TT-BTC dated August 15, 2013 of the Ministry of Finance.
After calculating the actual
amount of tax payable in Vietnam, the employer shall equalize tax. In case of
additional deduction of presumptive tax or refund of deducted presumptive tax,
the converted income of the employee will be respectively decrease or increase
(exclusive of presumptive tax) at the time the difference is received in order
to determine taxable income.
An example is provided in the
Appendix to this document.
2. With
regard to presumptive house rent:
If the employer deducts a presumptive
amount of house rent from the employee’s income before paying income to the
employee and pay actual house rent on the employee’s behalf, the income
converted into assessable income does not include the presumptive house rent
deducted. Determination of house rent included to income converted into
assessable income is the actual house rent. Nevertheless, this amount must not
exceed 15% of total taxable income (exclusive of actual house rent and
presumptive house rent). Income shall be converted in accordance with Clause 4
Article 7 of Circular No. 111/2013/TT-BTC dated August 15, 2013 of the Ministry
of Finance.
If the employer deducts both
presumptive tax and presumptive house rent from the employee’s income and pay
the actual house rent and personal income tax incurred in Vietnam for the
employee, the income converted by the investor into assessable income does not
include presumptive tax and presumptive house rent deducted. Determination of
house rent included to income converted into assessable income is the actual
house rent. Nevertheless, this amount must not exceed 15% of total taxable
income (exclusive of actual house rent and presumptive house rent). Income
shall be converted in accordance with Clause 4 Article 7 of Circular No.
111/2013/TT-BTC dated August 15, 2013 of the Ministry of Finance.
An example is provided in the
Appendix to this document.
Provincial Departments of Taxation
are responsible for instructing taxpayers to implement the Circular
correctly./.
