According to the General Department of Taxation’s opinions, with regard to “payment discounts” offered to individuals, if these individuals are consumers who buy goods for their own consumption without reselling or trading, the payment discounts are not subject to personal income tax (PIT)

In contrast, if the payment discounts are paid to individuals who are goods sale agents, 1% VAT on such payment discounts shall be calculated and withheld. Regarding this issue, the General Department of Taxation has provided guidelines in Official letter No. 1162/TCT-TNCN dated March 21st, 2016.
