Crypto Traders In Vietnam Face New 0.1% Levy As Tax Rules Tighten
Vietnam's Ministry of Finance has proposed a new 0.1% turnover-based tax on all cryptocurrency trades and transfers conducted through licensed platforms, applying even to non-profitable transactions. This levy treats crypto similarly to stock trades and is part of a broader regulatory pilot program initiated in late 2025. While transactions are exempt from VAT, domestic companies will face a 20% corporate tax on net profits. The regulations also impose high capital requirements for exchanges (approximately $380–408 million), potentially limiting the market to larger operators. Traders express mixed reactions, concerned about reduced liquidity but optimistic about increased institutional interest due to clearer regulations.
