Vietnam Proposes 0.1% Tax on Crypto Transfers in 2026 Draft Framework

On 8 February 2026, Vietnam's Ministry of Finance opened consultations on a draft circular proposing a 0.1% tax on each cryptocurrency transfer executed via licensed platforms. The plan would tax transaction value rather than profit, introduce a 20% corporate income tax on net crypto trading gains for domestic firms, and operate within a broader push to formally regulate and recognize digital assets as property.
