...

...

...

(2 billion - 1,5 billion) x 25% = 125 million dong

+ Time to calculate interest from 2011 to 2012 is two years. Therefore, the interest arising from CIT collected arrears due to not yet used up the previously deducted amount (assuming the one year-term Treasury bill’s interest rate is 12% ):

125 billion x 12% x 2 years = 30 billion dong

The years after 2010, the previously deducted amount and use of the previously deducted amount is calculated according to principle of first deducted, first used as mentioned above.

c) The interest rate for the recovery tax amount calculated on the previously deducted amount used for improper purposes is the interest rate calculated under ratio of late payment penalties as prescribed of the Tax Administration Law and the time period for interest is the period since being previously deducted until being collected arrears. The date of recovery is the date that the violation is detected and recorded in writing (except for the case not required to record).

d) The determination of the previously deducted time of the amount used for improper purposes for use as a basis of calculating interest for the collected arrears tax amount calculated on the previously deducted portion used for improper purposes is according to principle of first deducted, first used.
