Resolution No. 954/2020/UBTVQH14 issued by Standing Committee of the National Assembly about Changes to personal income tax reliefs comes into effect since July 1st, 2020. This regulation is applied from July 2020 tax period.
New provisions adjust the personal income tax relief
According to the Resolution, the personal relief increases from 9 million VND/month (108 million VND/year) to 11 million VND/month (132 million VND/year) and the dependent relief increases from 3.6 million VND/month (43.2 million VND/year) to 4.4 million VND/month (52.8 million VND/year).
When taxpayers apply for the new personal income tax relief, a person who has taxed income up to 15 million VND and has one dependant must not pay tax amounts, instead of 120,000 dongs/month previously. A person who has taxed income to 20 million VND and has two dependants, he/she must only pay 10000 dongs/month instead of 190,000 dongs/month as the old provision. As a result, changes in personal income tax relief breed positive effects on taxpayers.
