Raised Revenue Threshold and New Income-Based Tax Method for Household Businesses
Law No. 109/2025/QH15 enacted a VND 500 million annual revenue threshold for household and individual businesses, permits deduction of that amount before turnover-based tax, and adds an optional income-based method with rates of 15%, 17%, and 20% across the stated revenue bands. However, the threshold was subsequently raised to VND 1 billion by 2026 legislation and implementing regulation; the VND 500 million threshold is not the applicable updated amount.
