HANOI : Samsung and other foreign companies are pushing Vietnam to introduce a multi-million-dollar reform that would compensate them for higher levies they face from next year under a global overhaul of tax rules, a source involved in the talks said.

The global rule requires companies paying less in a low-tax jurisdiction to face a top-up levy in their home country. "If this is not fully resolved, Vietnam's competitiveness will fade," said Hong Sun, chairman of Korea Chamber of Business in Vietnam, noting that South Korean investors were particularly sensitive to those changes.

Samsung's tax rate varies by district, and ranged between 5.1 per cent and 6.2 per cent in 2019 in the two northern provinces where it produces smartphones, according to government data cited by local media.
