[Ngo-admin] VAT refund/exemption

Wed Oct 7 09:11:08 BST 2009

Dear Ms. Men,

Thank you for raising interesting issue!

Our organization has, in fact, enjoyed VAT refund from emergency projects through our implementation partner, Viet Nam Red Cross Society. They submitted to MOF for VAT refund of goods purchased for emergency relief. 

Also I have known INGOs/foreigner purchasing goods for use as humanitarian aid or non-refundable aid to Vietnam enjoy VAT exemption themselves if they receive written certification from MOF. However, procedures of getting such document are complicated and time-consumed so we decided passing to our partner in dealing with these procedures. 

Of course, if any of your INGO succeeded in getting the certification please share with us!

Thank you so much.

Best regards,

Nguyen Hoang Diep (Ms)
