How to use

The Business License Tax (Lệ phí môn bài) Calculator helps Vietnamese enterprises and household businesses properly determine their annual required license fee. Simply select your specific business type—either Enterprise/Company or Household Business/Individual—and accurately input your registered charter capital or expected annual revenue bracket. The smart calculator immediately applies the latest comprehensive Vietnamese tax regulations to accurately determine the exact tax tier you securely fall into and the precise financial amount owed.

It is an extremely vital and robust tool for new business owners and corporate accountants to deeply understand their strict compliance costs and financially prepare for mandatory annual tax deadlines. The payment is traditionally due in late January of each calendar year.

Always ensure your declared capital consistently aligns with your officially approved business registration certificate to avoid severe penalties and unwanted scrutiny from local tax authorities.

How it's calculated

Enterprise Tax

(capital_bracket == 1) * 1000000 + (capital_bracket == 2) * 2000000 + (capital_bracket == 3) * 3000000

Annual business license tax for enterprises and cooperatives

Household Business Tax

(revenue_bracket == 1) * 300000 + (revenue_bracket == 2) * 500000 + (revenue_bracket == 3) * 750000 + (revenue_bracket == 4) * 1000000

Annual business license tax for household businesses

Examples

Enterprise with 5 billion VND capital

  • Entity Type:1
  • Registered Capital:2
  • Annual Revenue:2

Result

  • Annual Business License Tax:2,000,000
  • Household Business Tax:500,000
  • Enterprise Tax:2,000,000

For a newly established Limited Liability Company firmly maintaining a registered charter capital of 5 billion VND, the mandatory annual business license tax is 2,000,000 VND. This comfortably falls under the specific standard tier for capital ranging from 1 to 10 billion VND.

Household business with 600 million VND revenue

  • Entity Type:2
  • Registered Capital:2
  • Annual Revenue:4

Result

  • Annual Business License Tax:1,000,000
  • Household Business Tax:1,000,000
  • Enterprise Tax:2,000,000

A highly successful household business reliably generating an annual revenue firmly over 500 million VND clearly pays exactly 1,000,000 VND in annual license tax. This serves as a highly predictable fixed operating cost properly due in January of each new year.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is the business license tax (thuế môn bài) in Vietnam?

The business license tax is a mandatory annual fixed tax that all operating businesses, corporate entities, and household businesses in Vietnam are legally required to pay. The total monetary amount depends heavily on your chosen entity type and registered charter capital or annual revenue.

When is the official deadline to correctly pay the business license tax?

For continuously existing businesses, the mandatory tax payment is legally due by January 30th of each calendar year. For completely newly established business entities, it must be officially paid within exactly 30 days of officially receiving the business registration certificate.

Are there any legal exemptions allowed from the business license tax?

Yes, there are several exemptions. Newly established businesses are legally exempt in their very first initial year of operation. Furthermore, standard household businesses with total annual revenue under exactly 100 million VND are completely exempt as per the guidelines in Decree 22/2020.

What happens if I significantly change my registered charter capital during the year?

If you successfully increase your registered charter capital and it places you into a higher tax bracket, you must definitively pay the newly increased business license tax starting from the very next calendar year, not the current one.
