Vietnam has extended and expanded tax relief programmes for 2025 to support businesses and drive economic growth, the Ministry of Finance said. Tax incentives from 2020 to 2024 played a key role in socio-economic recovery, particularly the two-percentage-point VAT cut, which spurred domestic consumption. The government will maintain fee reductions of 10–50% to encourage online public services and adjust import-export tax policies to ease business challenges. The ministry has proposed continuing the VAT cut on select goods and services until June 30. Experts say these measures have provided liquidity, strengthened businesses, and promoted production. While placing pressure on the state budget, they are seen as crucial for long-term economic stability.
