1. The following expenses serving enterprises’ production and business activities shall be wholly accounted as expenses for determining incomes subject to business income tax if they fully have lawful vouchers and receipts as prescribed:
- Expenses for market research: exploration, survey, interview, and collection, analysis and assessment of information; and costs for development and support of market research. In case enterprises hire consultants to conduct market research, and development and support of market research, these costs shall be accounted as other expenses for purchased or hired services to directly serve production and business activities.

- Expenses for purchase or production of goods and services offered free of charge together with products sold (according to the enterprise’s regulation on sales) in the forms of goods, services, goods vouchers, service coupons, customer cards, and lottery tickets and competition coupons. The value of free goods and services mentioned above must not exceed the value of products sold at a time.
- Discounts for quick payment, including payments in cash to sales agents and customers buying goods or services in large volume and having receipts or payment documents and invoices in accordance with the Finance Ministry’s regulations.
2. Other expenses not specified at Point 1 above shall be determined for calculating business income tax under the guidance of the Ministry of Finance’s Circulars No. 128/2003/TT-BTC of December 22, 2003, and No. 88/2004/TT-BTC of September 1, 2004.
