The Ministry of Finance guides the declaration and payment of value-added tax, royalties, and business income tax for hydropower generation establishments as follows:
Article 1. Scope of application
This Circular guides value-added tax (VAT), royalties, and business income tax (BIT) for hydropower generation establishments, including companies engaged in hydropower generation under or not under the Electricity of Vietnam (EVN).
Article 2. On VAT
1. Determination of payable VAT amounts
1.1. Hydropower generation establishments shall determine their payable VAT amounts by the credit method provided in the VAT Law and guiding documents.
1.2. Dependent-accounting hydropower companies of EVN shall determine their payable VAT amounts for their power generation operation as follows:
Payable VAT amount for power generation operation | = | Output VAT amount | - | Creditable input VAT amount |
The output VAT amount is determined by the following formula:
Output VAT amount | = | Power output | x | Taxed price | x | VAT rate (10%) |
In which:
- Power output is that delivered and received according to electricity meters as certified by the hydropower company and the power transmission company or the power trading company.
- Taxed price is fixed at 60% of the average commodity power selling price applied in the previous year and exclusive of VAT. In case the average commodity power selling price applied in the previous year is not yet identified, the temporary price announced by EVN will be used but must not be lower than the average commodity power selling price of the year preceding the previous year. When the average commodity power selling price applied in the previous year is identified, the difference shall be declared for adjustment in the declaration period of the month when the official price is identified.
The average commodity power selling price of a year shall be determined no later than March 31 of the subsequent year.
For example: If the average commodity power selling price of 2008 was VND 866/kWh and exclusive of VAT, the taxed price of 2009 (under the above guidance) will be VND 519.6 (= VND 866 x 60%).
The input VAT amount for power generation operation shall be credited based on value-added invoices of purchased goods and services of the hydropower company.
