"2. Point 14, Section II of Part A regarding objects not subject to VAT on public sanitation services is amended and supplemented as follows:
14. Public services such as street cleaning and water drainage include activities of collecting, clearing and treating garbage and waste matters, draining water and treating wastewater for organizations and individuals, regardless of their sources of payment. If business establishments use waste matters for production of other products for sale, such products shall not be subject to VAT as guided in Section II, Part A of Circular No. 120/2003/TT-BTC, or be subject to VAT as guided in Section II, Part B of Circular No. 120/2003/TT-BTC. Where business establishments provide such services as cleaning offices of organizations or individuals, such services shall be subject to VAT at the rate of 10% as guided at Point 3.27, Section II, Part B of Circular No. 120/2003/TT-BTC…"
According to the above-said guidance, the garbage-collecting and -transporting service provided to organizations or individuals regardless of their sources of payment is a public sanitation service, so it is not subject to VAT; the service of cleaning offices of organizations or individuals shall be subject to the VAT rate of 10%.
