Will the tax apply retroactively to 2026?

According to the draft, Circular 32 only applies to transactions occurring from January 1, 2027 onwards, with no retroactive effect. However, keeping records from 2026 is still crucial for proving the cost basis of assets acquired before the effective date.

Do international exchanges (Binance, OKX) provide data to Vietnamese tax authorities?

As of mid-2026, they do not. However, the international trend is for major exchanges to increasingly cooperate with national tax authorities. Do not rely on "hiding" transactions on international exchanges — this is a high-risk long-term strategy.

Do I need to hire a tax accountant?

For crypto income under $30,000 per year, a self-made Excel file is sufficient. For income above $50,000, I recommend hiring an accountant with crypto experience — costing 5-15 million VND per year but saving significant risk of errors.

Do Vietnamese living abroad have to pay Vietnamese tax?

This depends on your tax residency status. If you are a tax resident of Vietnam (living in Vietnam for 183 days or more per year), your global income is subject to Vietnamese tax. If you are a resident of another country, Vietnamese tax does not apply, but taxes in that country may.

Can DeFi transactions be traced?

Yes, through on-chain analysis tools like Chainalysis and Elliptic. All on-chain transactions are public and can be linked to identities if there is matching data (e.g., P2P USDT transactions). Do not rely on the "anonymity" of blockchain.
