Starting in 2026, according to Decision 3389, business households in Group 3 (revenue over VND 3 billion/year) must comply with tax obligations using the declaration method and meet stricter documentation management requirements. In particular, managing non-cash payment documents is not only a mandatory requirement but also a prerequisite for tax deductibility and recognition of reasonable expenses.
As stipulated in Decree 01/2021, a business household is an organization established by an individual or family members, and is unlimitedly liable with all their assets. This means all income – whether from personal or business accounts – is considered income for the household. Therefore, separating and managing non-cash payment documents is extremely important to ensure transparency and tax law compliance.
