How to use

This tool helps Vietnamese business owners accurately estimate their Corporate Income Tax (CIT) liability for the fiscal year. Input your 'Total Revenue' for the year and your 'Deductible Expenses' (such as employee salaries, office rent, and cost of goods sold).

The standard CIT rate in Vietnam is currently 20%, but you can adjust the 'Tax Rate' if your business qualifies for specific incentives, such as the 17% rate for small enterprises or the 15% rate for investment zones.

The calculator will automatically subtract your allowable expenses from your revenue to find your Taxable Profit. It then applies the appropriate tax rate to show exactly how much tax is owed, helping you plan your cash flow effectively and avoid late payment penalties.

How it's calculated

Examples

Standard rate — 1 billion VND profit

  • Tax Rate Type:1
  • Taxable Profit:1,000,000,000

Result

  • cit_amount:60,000,000
  • taxable_profit:300,000,000

With a revenue of 1 billion VND and deductible expenses of 700 million VND, the taxable profit is 300 million VND. At a standard 20% rate, the CIT owed is 60 million VND.

Small enterprise — 500 million VND profit

  • Tax Rate Type:2
  • Taxable Profit:500,000,000

Result

  • Applicable Tax Rate:20
  • Corporate Income Tax:100,000,000
  • After-Tax Profit:400,000,000

At the standard 20% CIT rate, a 500 million₫ taxable profit yields a tax bill of 100 million₫, leaving 400 million₫ after-tax. SMEs with revenue under 3 billion₫ or capital under 10 billion₫ may qualify for reduced rates — check with a tax consultant if you're near these thresholds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard corporate income tax rate in Vietnam?

The standard corporate income tax (CIT) rate in Vietnam is 20%, applicable to most enterprises. Small and medium enterprises may qualify for a reduced rate of 17%, and businesses in incentive investment zones may pay as low as 15%.

How is taxable profit calculated?

Taxable profit equals your total business revenue minus all allowable and deductible expenses (such as the cost of goods sold, employee wages, operating expenses, and asset depreciation) plus any other taxable income. Remember that any non-deductible expenses must be added back to your profit before applying the tax rate.

When must corporate income tax be paid?

Provisional corporate income tax must be paid quarterly within 30 days after the end of each quarter. The final annual tax settlement is due within 90 days after the fiscal year ends. Late payments will incur daily interest penalties.

What counts as a deductible expense in Vietnam?

Deductible expenses must be strictly related to your business operations, have proper VAT invoices or legal documentation, and must not exceed specific legal caps. For example, there are strict limits on the amounts you can deduct for certain employee benefits, advertising, and depreciation of fixed assets.
