E. Income tax from securities transfer

1. For domestic individuals, foreign individuals, and foreign institutions:

Securities transfer price per transaction = Matched selling price x Matched volume

1.2 Covered warrants (CWs)

Transaction tax

CW sales tax = CW order execution price x CW quantity x 0.1% Tax = Equity settlement price   *(Amount of CW/Conversion rate) *0.1%

Applies to

All CW sell transactions

Only CWs that expire with a net profit position

For example

The investor has 1,000 CVNM1905, a conversion ratio of 5:1, the exercise price of VND150,000

 

Investor sells CW at VND 2,000/CW and earns VND2,000,000.

Tax payable on CW sell transaction:

Tax = 2,000 x 1,000 x 0.1% = VND2,000

Investor hold to expiry date. If the current share price is VND160,000/share, the CW expires with a net profit position. Investor receive VND2,000,000 net profit and must pay tax:

Tax = 160,000 x (1,000/5) x 0.1% = VND32,000

F. Personal income tax from receiving dividends in shares, bonus shares

1. Subjects of application: individuals receive dividends in securities; existing shareholders receive dividend payments by securities and stocks with the record date from December 5, 2020.

2. Time to declare and pay PIT: when the Investor sells (transfers) same types of shares until comprehensively collects tax arising from dividends or receives a bonus by shares.

3. Tax calculation: PIT payable = Taxable income x 5% tax rate

By which:

  • Taxable income = Number of shares subjected to tax x Taxable price

  • Number of shares subjected to tax: prioritize calculating the amount of shares received from dividends or bonuses.

  • Taxable price:

If Selling Price (transfer price) ≥ Par value: Taxable price = Par value
If Selling price (transfer price) < Par value: Taxable price = Selling price (transfer price)

4. Reference examples:

Before receiving dividends in stocks and bonus shares, Investor A has 5,000 shares of ABC in his account.

After that, Investor A receives the distribution of dividend rights in shares: 4,000 shares of ABC and the allocation of bonus stock rights: 2,000 shares of ABC.

In total, Investor A has 11,000 shares of ABC in his account, including 6,000 shares subjected to capital investment tax. When Investor A sells ABC shares, the tax on income from capital investment and transfer tax on shares will be calculated as follows:
 

Investor sells (transfers shares)

Amount of shares to subjected to capital investment tax at the beginning of the period

Investor sells (transfers shares)

PIT from transfers shares

Amount of CP to bear residual capital investment tax

1st time

4,000 shares price VND11,000 (Selling price > par value)

6,000 shares

(4,000 x 10,000) x5%= VND2,000,000

(4,000 x 11,000) x 0.1% = VND44,000

6,000 – 4,000
= 2,000 CP

2nd time

2,000 shares for VND8,000 (Selling price < par value)

2,000 shares

(2,000 x 8,000) x5% = VND800,000

(2,000 x 8,000) x 0.1% = VND16,000

2,000 – 2,000 = 0 CP

3rd time

5,000 shares price VND12,000

0

0 đ

(5,000 x 12,000) x 0.1% = VND60,000

0 CP
