Gini · Macro & monetary · 2026-11-01 · https://ginity.vn/en/blog/thirty-percent-tax-reduction-for-businesses-under-ten-billion _Lead analyst: Đào Ngọc Bảo Linh · Finance and securities specialist · Ho Chi Minh City · 0932 439 639_ ## Key takeaways - Decree No. 398/2026/ND-CP took effect on October 29, 2026, granting a 30% income tax reduction to enterprises with annual revenue below 10 billion VND. - The fiscal support covers both personal income tax and corporate income tax across 2 assessment periods in 2026 and 2027. - Taxpayers self-assess their revenue eligibility under 10 billion VND and deduct 30% directly on periodic tax declarations. - National Assembly Resolution No. 43/2026/QH16 establishes targeted fiscal relief for small enterprises in 2026. ## Key Provisions of Decree 398/2026/ND-CP According to an official announcement published on October 29, 2026 on the [Vietnam Government Portal](https://vanban.chinhphu.vn/?pageid=27160&docid=213398), the Government issued Decree No. 398/2026/ND-CP establishing a 30% reduction in payable income taxes for individual business owners, households, and enterprises with annual revenue not exceeding 10 billion VND. The decree took effect immediately on its signing date of October 29, 2026. This fiscal relief implements [Resolution No. 43/2026/QH16](https://vanban.chinhphu.vn/?pageid=27160&docid=213398) of the 16th National Assembly regarding supportive measures for economic recovery in 2026. The objective is to ease tax liabilities directly and provide operational liquidity for small-scale enterprises facing elevated working capital costs, complementing liquidity easing reported in the [Government Online Newspaper](https://baochinhphu.vn/ngan-hang-dong-loat-giam-lai-suat-tiep-suc-san-xuat-kinh-doanh-102261019165709338.htm). ## Eligibility Scope and Qualifying Criteria According to detailed regulatory guidance published in the [Securities Investment Newspaper on October 31, 2026](https://www.tinnhanhchungkhoan.vn/huong-dan-chi-tiet-giam-30-so-thue-phai-nop-tu-kinh-doanh-co-doanh-thu-duoi-10-ty-dong-post400540.html), the 30% tax cut applies to business households and individuals with annual revenue capped at 10 billion VND across both 2026 and 2027 assessment periods. According to the [Securities Investment Newspaper](https://www.tinnhanhchungkhoan.vn/huong-dan-chi-tiet-giam-30-so-thue-phai-nop-tu-kinh-doanh-co-doanh-thu-duoi-10-ty-dong-post400540.html), small enterprises with gross revenue under 10 billion VND receive an identical 30% cut on corporate income tax during 2 assessment years 2026 and 2027. According to provisions reported by the [Vietnam Government Portal](https://vanban.chinhphu.vn/?pageid=27160&docid=213398), businesses partitioned after the Resolution effective date cannot claim the 30% reduction if aggregate post-split revenues exceed 10 billion VND. ## Revenue Calculation and Administrative Filing Procedures According to implementation guidelines reported by the [Securities Investment Newspaper](https://www.tinnhanhchungkhoan.vn/huong-dan-chi-tiet-giam-30-so-thue-phai-nop-tu-kinh-doanh-co-doanh-thu-duoi-10-ty-dong-post400540.html), qualifying revenue encompasses total turnover from goods and services within the tax year. Enterprises self-verify against the 10 billion VND ceiling, deduct the 30% relief, and submit schedules alongside standard filings without prior administrative clearance. According to Ginity calculations for an illustrative example: An enterprise generating 8 billion VND in 2026 revenue with an initial tax liability of 200 million VND computes final obligations as: $$\text{Payable Tax After Reduction} = \text{Initial Tax Liability} \times (1 - 0.30) = 200 \times 0.70 = 140 \text{ million VND}$$ > Chart: Comparison of Tax Liability Before and After 30% Cut. million VND. Initial Tax: 200; Post-Reduction Tax: 140; Tax Savings: 60. Source: Ginity illustrative calculation based on Decree 398/2026/ND-CP According to Ginity estimates, the 60 million VND saved directly shields corporate liquidity, reinforcing cash safety buffers in line with liquidity principles outlined in [net working capital and cash safety check](/en/blog/net-working-capital-and-cash-safety-check). ## Implementation Timeline and Provisional Tax Offsetting According to official terms published on the [Vietnam Government Portal](https://vanban.chinhphu.vn/?pageid=27160&docid=213398), the incentive structure extends across 2 periods: 2026 liabilities arising from October 29, 2026 onward, and the entire 2027 calendar tax year. According to guidelines in the [Securities Investment Newspaper](https://www.tinnhanhchungkhoan.vn/huong-dan-chi-tiet-giam-30-so-thue-phai-nop-tu-kinh-doanh-co-doanh-thu-duoi-10-ty-dong-post400540.html), provisional payments remitted during earlier 2026 quarters receive a 30% difference credit offset against subsequent filings. ## Market Context and Capital Implications According to statutory governance frameworks codified in the [Law on Securities No. 54/2019/QH14](https://vanban.chinhphu.vn/?docid=198541&pageid=27160), the vast majority of companies on HOSE and HNX generate revenues well above the 10 billion VND limit, so the decree does not directly alter earnings of large-cap equities tracked in [listed companies finalize cash dividend rights in early november](/en/blog/listed-companies-finalize-cash-dividend-rights-in-early-november). According to market commentary from the [Securities Investment Newspaper](https://www.tinnhanhchungkhoan.vn/huong-dan-chi-tiet-giam-30-so-thue-phai-nop-tu-kinh-doanh-co-doanh-thu-duoi-10-ty-dong-post400540.html) alongside structural capital developments highlighted by the [Government Online Newspaper](https://baochinhphu.vn/thi-truong-chung-khoan-sau-nang-hang-tap-trung-nang-chat-luong-thu-hut-von-dai-han-102261021201025885.htm), micro-cap issuers on UPCoM and unlisted vendors with revenues under 10 billion VND retain 30% more earnings to support balance sheets in 2026 and 2027. ## Cash Management Strategies for Small Issuers According to liquidity management frameworks discussed in corporate finance, retaining 30% of statutory tax liabilities enables smaller enterprises to bolster internal financing without taking on short-term debt. For enterprises operating with tight margins, the direct reduction in tax cash outflow immediately improves quick ratios and reduces reliance on bank overdraft facilities. According to market commentary in the [Securities Investment Newspaper](https://www.tinnhanhchungkhoan.vn/huong-dan-chi-tiet-giam-30-so-thue-phai-nop-tu-kinh-doanh-co-doanh-thu-duoi-10-ty-dong-post400540.html), financial managers at small enterprises are utilizing the 2026 tax savings to build emergency cash buffers and settle trade payables faster. By accelerating supplier payments, small vendors can negotiate favorable trade credit terms and maintain operational momentum across the two-year relief window. ## Sources - Vietnam Government Portal: [Decree No. 398/2026/ND-CP issued on October 29, 2026](https://vanban.chinhphu.vn/?pageid=27160&docid=213398) (29/10/2026) - Securities Investment Newspaper: [Detailed guidance on 30% tax cut for businesses under 10 billion VND revenue](https://www.tinnhanhchungkhoan.vn/huong-dan-chi-tiet-giam-30-so-thue-phai-nop-tu-kinh-doanh-co-doanh-thu-duoi-10-ty-dong-post400540.html) (31/10/2026) - Government Online Newspaper: [Banks simultaneously lower interest rates to bolster commercial operations](https://baochinhphu.vn/ngan-hang-dong-loat-giam-lai-suat-tiep-suc-san-xuat-kinh-doanh-102261019165709338.htm) (19/10/2026) - Vietnam Government Portal: [Law on Securities No. 54/2019/QH14](https://vanban.chinhphu.vn/?docid=198541&pageid=27160) (26/11/2019) - Government Online Newspaper: [Stock market post-upgrade focuses on quality to attract long-term capital](https://baochinhphu.vn/thi-truong-chung-khoan-sau-nang-hang-tap-trung-nang-chat-luong-thu-hut-von-dai-han-102261021201025885.htm) (21/10/2026) *Disclaimer: This article synthesizes legal documents and official press releases for research purposes and does not constitute formal tax or legal advice.
