Vietnam’s digital marketplace is paying off, with VND8.73 trillion (about US$328 million) collected from foreign suppliers through the official portal as of September 30, according to the E-Commerce Taxation Sub-Department under the Department of Taxation (GDT).
Data show the broader e-commerce tax intake – covering both domestic and foreign suppliers – reached VND152 trillion (US$5.63 billion) in the first nine months of 2025, up 64% year on year. In 2023, the total stood at around VND97 trillion and rose to VND116 trillion in 2024.
Among foreign suppliers, 176 entities had registered, declared and paid taxes through the portal by the end of September 2025. Major names include Meta, Google, Netflix and TikTok.
Between August and September 2025 alone, 63 e-commerce platforms (55 domestic and eight foreign) submitted taxes on behalf of sellers under Decree 117/2025/ND-CP, with total payments reaching nearly VND1.1 trillion.
The move marks a major step towards bringing online business activities under a more transparent tax framework while easing administrative burdens for small sellers.
The tax authority said it would continue improving tax management for digital-economy activities, develop automated refund procedures for small online businesses and strengthen data cross-checks with payment intermediaries and platforms to prevent tax evasion.
Starting July 1, e-marketplaces such as Shopee, Lazada, Tiki, and TikTok Shop will officially begin withholding and paying value-added tax (VAT) and personal income tax (PIT) on behalf of individual sellers using their platforms, as in accordance with the Government's Decree No. 117/2025/ND-CP.
