Policies on Tax Incentives and Tax Avoidance through the form of Transfer Pricing of FDI Enterprises in Vietnam

Abstract

The increasingly broad participation in world economic organizations provides Vietnam with many opportunities to attract foreign investors. However, Vietnam faces a situation where many foreign investors would take advantage of the gaps in the Government’s tax incentive policies to avoid taxes. This has caused many losses and serious state budget deficit. Not only does the state lose a large amount of money which businesses have an obligation to pay, but it also creates a bad precedent, unfairness in tax for businesses. In this article, the author will analyze and assess the state of affairs of the Government’s preferential tax policies and the tax avoidance in the form of transfer pricing in Vietnam by foreign investors. Following after are recommendations to complete the tax incentive policies and prevent tax avoidance in the form of transfer pricing of foreign investors.
