Expansion of tax-reduced items: New information regarding coal.<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decree 44\/2023\/ND-CP has resolved a major obstacle that Coal and Mineral Corporations faced under Decree 15.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>According to Decree 15:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The regulation only stipulates that only &quot;coal mined and sold&quot; is eligible for tax reduction. This is controversial when applied to corporate models with a closed-loop process (Parent company assigns subsidiary to mine -&gt; Processing -&gt; Parent company buys -&gt; Sells to external parties). In this case, the selling stage by the parent company is considered &quot;commercial&quot; rather than &quot;mining,&quot; and is therefore often subject to Article 10%.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>According to Decree 44:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Specify the cases <\/span><b>Corporations and economic groups that implement a closed-loop sales process are also eligible for VAT reduction.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Note for Bizzi users:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If your business is part of the coal supply chain or purchases coal from these entities, you need to update the input tax rate 8% for invoices issued after July 1, 2023, to optimize costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Chuan_hoa_quy_trinh_xu_ly_hoa_don_sai_sot_ve_thue_suat\"><\/span><b>2.

Although gasoline and diesel are essential fuels, according to Appendices I, II, and III of Decree 15\/2022\/ND-CP, gasoline and diesel are subject to Special Consumption Tax (or belong to the group of mining products, refined petroleum). Therefore, this item is still subject to tax rate 10%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When processing travel expenses and fuel costs, accountants should note that if a fuel invoice shows 8%, it is incorrect. The Bizzi system will warn users if they enter this tax rate incorrectly for this group of fuel suppliers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Dich_vu_an_uong_khach_san_co_phuc_vu_ruou_bia_thi_xuat_hoa_don_the_nao\"><\/span><b>2.

Businesses do not need to go through the procedure of &quot;applying&quot; for tax reduction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this also means a significant risk of post-audit inspection. If the tax authorities later inspect and discover that the business has arbitrarily reduced taxes for items not eligible for reduction, the business will be subject to back taxes and administrative penalties.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Cong_trinh_xay_dung_nghiem_thu_tung_phan_thi_ap_dung_thue_suat_nao\"><\/span><b>4.
