How to determine taxable resource productions in Vietnam?

According to Article 5 of the Law on severance tax 2009, the taxable resource producti♍o🌄n is determined as follows:

- For resources that can determine the number, weight, or volume, the taxable resource production is the actual number, weight, or volume of resources eওxtracted during the tax perio꧃d.

- 🌺For resources extracted that cannot determine the actual number, weight, or volume due to containing various substances and impurities, the taxable resource production is determined based on the number, weight, or volume ൩of each substance obtained after screening and classification.

- F✱or resources that are extracted but not sold and used to produce other products, if the actual number, weight, or volume of extraction cannot be directly determined, the taxable resource production is determined based on the production in the tax period and the resource usage norm per product unit.

- For natural water used for hydroelectric production, the taxable resource production is the electricity output sold by the hydroelectric production facility to the electricity purchaser according to the electricity purchase agreement or the delivered electricity output in case there is no electricity purchase agreement, determined by a measurement system meeting the Vietnamese quality measurement standards, confirmed by both the buyer and the seller orꦗ the deliverer and📖 receiver.

- For natural mineral water, natural hot water, ꦐand natural water used for industrial purposes, the taxable resource production is determined in cubic meters (m³) or liters (l) according to a measurement system meeting Vietnamese quality measurement standards.

- For resources that are extracted manually, dispersed, or from mobile, irregular extraction activities, with an annual projected extraction value of less than 200,000,000 VND, the resource extraction production is determined seasonally or periodical💞ly 🍰as lump-sum amounts for tax calculation. The tax authority cooperates with relevant local agencies to determine the lump-sum extraction production for tax calculation.
