Hanoi Tax Department confirmed that the U23 team's bonuses that do not come with the State-awarded titles are subject to personal income tax.

Morning of January 28, talking withZing.vn, a representative of the Hanoi Tax Department said that with the bonuses received from businesses, the U23 Vietnam players still have to pay taxes.

The basis for calculating tax given by this person is Clause 2, Article 3, Law on Personal Income Tax 2007, which stipulates taxable income.

In Clause 2, Article 3, the Law specifically stipulates taxable income from salaries and wages. In which, bonuses are one of the incomes subject to personal income tax.

The Law also stipulates that non-taxable bonuses include bonuses associated with titles conferred by the State, bonuses associated with national and international awards, bonuses for technical improvements, inventions and discoveries recognized by competent State agencies, and bonuses for detecting and reporting violations of the law to competent State agencies.

In other words, if the U23 Vietnam team receives bonuses along with titles awarded by the State, they do not have to pay taxes. However, if any bonus money is taken from the State budget but is not accompanied by a title, they must pay taxes.

For example, the People's Committees of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City allocate budget to reward the Vietnam U23 team, but they still have to pay taxes as usual. However, if these localities give bonuses along with a certain title, they do not have to pay taxes.

Income generated by domestic and foreign organizations and individuals is also subject to tax. The tax rate is 10% of the total value of the bonus. The 10% rate applies to bonuses of VND 10 million or more.

However, a representative of the Hanoi Tax Department emphasized that if a bonus is given to a group, it is not subject to tax. “For example, if a company gives a bonus to a group and they use that money for common purposes or training children, it cannot be taxed. Therefore, only individuals who are given a bonus by name by the company have to pay tax,” he said.

When talking about gifts in kind for the Vietnam U23 team, this person said that there are still many different opinions about paying taxes on this type of gift. Depending on the gift and the circumstances of the gift, there can be a basis for accurate tax declaration.

Lawyer Doan Van Hau, Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Bar Association, also said that players must pay taxes on bonuses from individuals and organizations that are not part of the state budget as prescribed by law. “There are no exceptions to paying taxes,” Mr. Hau emphasized.

Regarding the Vietnam U23 team, after successfully competing at the U23 Asian Championship, the players received many large bonuses from businesses.

Some businesses that gave rewards to the U23 team include FLC (1 billion VND), VNPT (1 billion VND), Vietcombank (1 billion VND), Tuan Chau Group (1 billion VND), Vietnam Oil and Gas Group and Phu My Fertilizer (1.2 billion VND), Hung Thinh Group (3 billion VND)...
