Vietnam Proposes 0.1% Tax on Crypto Transactions

• Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance has proposed a 0.1% personal income tax on crypto transactions through licensed platforms.
• The tax applies to both residents and non-residents, including foreign investors, based on the total transaction value.
• This initiative is part of a five-year pilot program starting September 2025 to regulate Vietnam’s crypto market.
• Licensing applications opened on January 20, 2026, requiring a minimum capital of 10 trillion VND (~$408 million) and capping foreign ownership at 49%.
• Crypto transactions are exempt from value-added tax, while companies pay a 20% corporate income tax on net profits from transfers.

Vietnam’s proposal for a 0.1% tax on crypto transactions aims to regulate the growing market with specific requirements for licensing and taxation. The initiative includes exemptions from value-added tax but imposes corporate taxes on net profits from transfers.
