Vietnam's state budget revenue is estimated to reduce by some VND30.15 trillion (US$1.32 billion) this year as the country has to remove multiple tariffs under signed free trade agreements (FTAs), according to the Vietnam Customs.
This year is considered as an important transitional year, following the elimination of tariff barriers for commodities imported from ASEAN countries, of which over 90% of the goods under the ASEAN trade agreement (ATIGA) will bear 0% tariff. Large amount of tax reduction is applied to items with high tax revenues such as cars (from 30% to 0%), components and spare parts (from 5% and 20% to 0%), steel (5% to 0%), among others.
