HÀ NỘI — The General Department of Taxation recently sent a document requesting the HCM City Department of Taxation to inspect the tax payments of Uber B.V Netherlands Co Ltd and GrabTaxi Co Ltd. Traditional taxi firms claim that they have been subject to a variety of taxes and charges while Uber and Grab were only subject to a tax of 4 to 5 per cent of revenue. The Ministry of Transport will provide information to the tax agencies to clarify Uber and Grab taxes soon. According to the General Department of Taxation, not only Uber and Grab, but also more than half of traditional taxi businesses reported losses in the past and did not pay corporate income tax. Other traditional taxi businesses payed taxes, but the paid amount was very low.
