Do I need to declare an airdrop under 10 million VND?

Under the gift classification, an airdrop under 10 million VND per occurrence is tax-exempt. However, you should still declare it for a transparent tax record. If multiple small airdrops throughout the year cumulatively exceed 100 million VND, the tax authority may apply different rules despite the per-occurrence exemption threshold.

How can I reduce my tax?

The only legal way is to utilize the 10 million VND exemption threshold per occurrence for gift-type airdrops. If you receive multiple different airdrops in a year, each one qualifies for the 10 million VND exemption — not a total of 10 million for the whole year. Avoid 'tricks' like transferring airdrops to another wallet to avoid tax — this is tax fraud and can be severely penalized.

How is an NFT airdrop taxed?

Similar to token airdrops, but the value is determined by the floor price on major marketplaces (OpenSea, Magic Eden) at the time of receipt. If the NFT is particularly rare, use the most recent auction price as a reference. Keep more evidence than for token airdrops because NFT prices are harder to determine.

What about Vietnamese people receiving airdrops while living abroad?

It depends on your tax residency status. If you are a tax resident of Vietnam (living in Vietnam for more than 183 days per year), your global income is subject to Vietnamese tax — including airdrops. If you are a resident of another country, you are not subject to Vietnamese tax but may be liable in your country of residence.

How can the tax authority know I received an airdrop?

Currently, there is no automatic system to trace airdrops. However, blockchain data is entirely public and can be analyzed using specialized tools. P2P USDT/VND transactions when you sell your airdrop for cash can also be monitored by banks. Betting on 'not being detected' is not a safe long-term strategy.
