The Vietnamese government has cut the tax rate on imported petroleum by 10%, it has been revealed.

The new measure - which is due for introduction on February 17 - will reduce the 35% tax rate currently levied on petroleum imports to 25%.

The news was announced by Vietnam's Ministry of Finance on February 8, who explained that the measure will reduce the import tax for leaded and non-leaded petrol; petrol for airplanes; lubricant; naptha and reformatic petrol - all items which belong to group 2710 on the General Department of Taxation's import list.

The MoF has already reduced the tax rate levied on petroleum imports this year, taking it from 40% to 35% in January.
