Vietnam plans to tax an individual’s crypto disposals with a 0.1% levy on the gross value of each transaction (like a securities transfer tax), with no lower rate for long-term holdings, so you pay on every trade regardless of profit or loss.
“Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance has released draft tax regulations for cryptocurrency transactions that would impose a 0.1% levy on individual investors trading digital assets through licensed platforms, according to a circular published for public comment on Feb. 6. Under the draft rules, individual investors would pay 0.1% personal income tax on the revenue from each cryptocurrency transfer, regardless of whether they are Vietnamese residents or foreign nationals. The proposed framework treats cryptocurrency taxation similarly to securities trading, exempting crypto transfers from value-added tax while applying transaction-based levies to individual traders and corporate income tax to Vietnamese businesses.” — Government of Vietnam / Ministry of Finance (draft circular under Resolution 05/2025/NQ-CP)
