Baker Tilly A&C Hosts Seminar on VAT Updates 2025 in Can Tho

Posted Date - 28/07/2025

On 23 July 2025, in Can Tho City, Baker Tilly A&C successfully organized a professional development seminar titled “Key Considerations for VAT in 2025,” attracting nearly 100 participants, including business representatives from Can Tho and the Mekong Delta region.

This event came at a pivotal time, as Law on VAT No. 48/2024/QH15 and Decree 181/2025/NĐ-CP officially came into effect, introducing major changes in tax policies that directly impact business operations

Key Topics Covered at the Seminar:

  1. Significant Changes in Taxable Subjects
    Baker Tilly A&C experts provided detailed analysis on the revised VAT rates for various goods and services. Many items previously non-taxable are now subject to 5% or 10% VAT – a shift with substantial implications for cost and pricing calculations.
  2. Guidance for the Agriculture and Aquatic Sectors
    One focus area was the 5% VAT application for commercial activities in agriculture and aquaculture. The experts provided practical guidance on input VAT deduction to ensure compliance and tax efficiency.
  3. Stricter Conditions for VAT Refunds
    The seminar updated attendees on new conditions for VAT refunds, especially concerning expanded investment projects. Notably, VAT refunds now require the seller to have fulfilled their tax obligations before the buyer becomes eligible.
  4. Q&A Session
    A major portion of the seminar was devoted to answering practical concerns from businesses, including handling invoice errors, supplementary declarations, and new documentation requirements for non-cash payments.

Connecting – Sharing – Supporting

The lively Q&A session revealed significant interest and concern from the business community regarding the new VAT policies. This was not just a chance to gain updated knowledge, but also a valuable opportunity for networking and sharing practical implementation experiences.

To support businesses in legal compliance and operational efficiency, Baker Tilly A&C continues to host monthly technical sessions to update clients on the latest legal regulations and policy changes.
