4 VRF Ltd is a Vietnamese company specialising in the manufacture of instant noodles for both domestic sale and
export. Domestic sales and exports of instant noodles are subject to value added tax (VAT) at the rates of 10%
and 0%, respectively. VRF Ltd frequently applied for and received the VAT refund up to and including May 2016.
The total amount of the VAT refund VRF Ltd received for May 2016 was VND4,770 million. The company’s VAT
declaration in May 2016 was as follows:
– Input VAT carried forward from April 2016 (for both domestic sales and exports): VND30 million
– Total input VAT incurred during May 2016 (for both domestic sales and exports): VND9,600 million
Due to the change in the VAT regulations according to Circular 130/2016, VRF Ltd ceased all VAT refund
applications in June and July 2016, but in August 2016 the company reconsidered and applied for a VAT refund
of the input VAT arising in June 2016, following the new principles for VAT refund set out in Circular 130/2016.
The total creditable input VAT arising during June 2016 was VND4,000 million (not including any amount carried
forward from May 2016), which VRF Ltd could not separate between domestic sales and exports.
The following information (exclusive of VAT, where applicable) is available for the months of May and June
2016:
Revenue from domestic sales Revenue from exports
VND millions VND millions
May 2016 16,800 25,200
June 2016 60,000 32,200
Required:
(a) Determine by calculation whether the value added tax (VAT) refund received by VRF Ltd for May 2016
was or was not correct, and calculate (in VND millions) the amount of input VAT, if any, which can be
carried forward to subsequent periods, following the VAT refund principles set out BEFORE Circular
130/2016 came into effect.
(5 marks)
(b) Estimate (in VND millions) the amount of the VAT refund which VFR Ltd can apply for in June 2016, if
the refund application is required to follow the VAT refund principles set out in Circular 130/2016.

Notes:
1. In both parts of the question, the ratio for the allocation of input VAT between domestic sales
and exports should be calculated in whole percentages (i.e. rounded to zero decimal).
2. You should assume that all the input VAT amounts are valid and supported by proper documents.

5 IVEX Ltd is a foreign invested company located in Tan Binh Industrial Park in Ho Chi Minh City. Although the
industrial park was no longer an incentivised area in 2015–2016, IVEX Ltd was still entitled to the tax incentives
stated in the investment certificate at the time of its establishment when the incentives for companies
established in industrial parks were still available.
In 2015, IVEX Ltd was entitled to the special tax rate of 15% with a 50% reduction for the original investment as
specified in the investment certificate. In 2015, IVEX Ltd invested VND50,000 million in a new production line,
which qualified as expansion investment under the corporate income tax (CIT) regulations. IVEX Ltd’s total
historical costs of fixed assets (including the new production line) at the fiscal year-end of 31 December 2015
was VND200,000 million.
In 2015, the taxable income declared by IVEX Ltd was VND48,000 million, of which other non-operating
taxable income was VND8,000 million.
In 2016, the incentive period of the company expired and IVEX Ltd became subject to the common tax rate.
According to its draft financial statements, IVEX Ltd had accounting profits before tax of VND160,000 million in
2016. The following issues which were recorded in the accounting profits are noteworthy for the purposes of
the company’s corporate income tax (CIT) finalisation:
1. Accrued wages and allowances of VND8,500 million were not paid before the deadline for CIT finalisation.
IVEX Ltd’s total actual salary fund in 2016 was VND55,000 million. No provision for salary fund was made
as at 31 December 2016.
2. Purchases without invoices amounted to VND9,200 million, of which VND2,800 million were purchases
of depletions from households who issued IVEX Ltd with lists of the purchases under form 01/TNDN.
3. Machinery bought in 2013 with a historical cost of VND6,000 million and an estimated useful life of five
years ceased to be used from 1 June 2015 for maintenance. In 2015, IVEX Ltd expected that this
maintenance would take 13 months, but the maintenance was in fact completed on 31 August 2016 and
the machinery was put into use again from 1 September 2016. In the draft financial statements, this
machinery was depreciated over 12 months in 2016.
4. Uniform expenses (supported with valid documents) were VND720 million paid in cash, and
VND360 million made in kind. IVEX Ltd had an average of 120 employees during the year 2016.
5. A profits share of VND40,000 million was received from a business co-operation contract (BCC) which IVEX
Ltd had entered into. These profits were after deducting CIT at the rate of 20%, which was declared and
paid by the operator.
From 2017, the foreign investor’s headquarter company is considering charging IVEX Ltd for the cost of the IT
support services it provides. The charge would include a specific charge for the costs incurred in respect of the
service requests made by IVEX Ltd, and a lump sum charge which would be allocated to all the investor’s
subsidiaries based on the judgement of the headquarter company and which could vary from year to year.

6 For the purposes of this question you should assume that today’s date is 1 January 2017.
Mr Tony Phu, a 40-year-old Vietnamese citizen, is married with two children, a ten-year-old daughter and a six-
year-old son. In 2016 Tony was promoted to become the general director of GIV JSC, a Vietnamese joint stock
company with diversified operations in various sectors in Vietnam, including retail outlets and education. Tony’s
gross-of-tax remuneration package for 2016, as stated in the labour contract, is as follows:
– Salary: VND580 million per month, with two additional monthly salaries to be received in February
and December.
– Incentive bonus: an award of 100,000 shares of GIV JSC if he successfully achieves the corporate
performance as set out at the beginning of 2016. Tony can choose to receive either the shares or cash
equivalent to the market share price as at 31 December 2016. In both cases the award will be made in June
2017.
– Car rental for transporting Tony from home to office and office to home: VND30 million per month to be
paid directly to the lessor by GIV JSC.
– Medical insurance fee (non-accumulative): VND180 million per year in total for the six persons in Tony’s
family (himself, his wife, his two children and his parents). An equal fee is payable for each person. The
insurance covers medical expenses up to VND1 billion per year for each insured person.
– Membership fee for golf club: VND160 million per year. The membership card is issued specifically to Tony.
– Share options to purchase 50,000 shares of GIV JSC at the nominal value of VND10,000 per share at the
beginning of 2016. These options had to be mandatorily exercised on 4 January 2016 (i.e. Tony had to
purchase the shares on that date), and the purchase cost of VND500 million was to be deducted from the
additional salary he received in February 2016. The shares were sold on 31 December 2016 at their market
price and the proceeds paid in cash to Tony on the same date.
As a standard benefit offered to all management positions, Tony’s children can study in a school established
and operated by a subsidiary of GIV JSC, with the tuition fees settled directly by GIV JSC to this subsidiary with
valid supporting documents. The fees quoted by the school for pupils at the grades of Tony’s daughter and son
are VND150 million and VND100 million per annum, respectively. The school has a general policy (applicable to
everyone) to offer a 5% discount for the second child of a family enrolled with the school.
The market price of the GIV JSC shares as at 4 January 2016 and 31 December 2016 was VND45,000 and
VND48,000 respectively. On 6 August 2016, GIV JSC paid a dividend of VND6,000 per share held (including the
shares received from the exercise of the share options).
GIV JSC has obtained guidance from the tax authorities instructing that the share options are taxable in the year
when the shares are sold, and that the taxable employment income is the difference between the market price
at the time of exercise and the exercise price (i.e. the price which the employee has to pay for the shares).
Tony is responsible for his personal income tax (PIT), as well as the social, health and unemployment insurance
contributions payable on his part. Tony’s wife and parents all have income in excess of an average of VND1
million per month.
