Accordingly, HoREA expects real estate businesses to offset two-way income from real estate business with income from other business activities. “This is to ensure a fair and equal business environment among all types of businesses,” Chau said.

At present, real estate enterprises can only profit from other activities to offset real estate business if they suffer losses. However, businesses are not allowed to take profits from real estate to offset other business losses.

“This regulation is inconsistent with international practices, unreasonable and unfair to real estate enterprises. Other industries are allowed by the State to make the clearing in the course of business in order to determine the profit and obligation to pay corporate income tax, “said Chau.

Earlier, at the conference “Vietnam Enterprises – the driving force for economic development of the country” was held in late April, HoREA has asked the Government to allow real estate businesses to offset income from real estate business activities with income from other business activities.
