VND4.1BILLION in TAX arrears and fines has been collected from a local man that earned VND41billion from Facebook and Google ads. The man is a programmer whose game has been viewed and downloaded on Facebook, Google and YouTube. He earned over VND41bn (USD1.6m) from ads in 2016 and 2017 but didn’t make any declarations or pay taxes. The tax arrears were detected when the Department of Taxation ordered banks to check on incomes from Google, Facebook and YouTube that haven’t deduced taxes. The authorities will zero in on Facebook accounts that are the most active and have large incomes. Those who earn less than VND100 million a year online must pay a business license tax. Those with over VND100 million of annual income must pay additional VAT and personal income tax. According to the Department of Taxation, Facebook, Google and YouTube incomes at four banks are in the range of VND500 billion. Last year, the Taxation Department collected VND9.1billion in tax arrears from a Facebook account that sells cosmetics online.
